Architecture is a process of building design. Building design process involves; design and functionality of the buildings, choice of structural system and application of the design. The role of the engineering discipline in this process is calculating the forces applied on the structural system and determining details of the structural elements of the projects that are designed by the architects. However, there have been more than many conflicting issues between architects and engineers in the 21st century. There are multiple reasons that lead to this conflict that originated from both architects and engineers. In this study, engineering related problems and their solutions in the architecture process are investigated. Five main engineering related are studied namely; crossing wide spans, designing cantilever structures, functionality and density, architectural forms and architectural technical details. The problem is first evaluated accordion to expectations of architect and engineers and then considered in terms of applicability. Aforementioned problems that investigated on train stations and solutions are presented. Most significant feature of the train stations is that they involve various static and design related problems. Analyses are made on the plan sections as well as project images of the train stations. In conclusion, it is shown that even for the project that require intensive calculating such as crossing wide spans, designing cantilever structures, creating function and density relationship, deciding the architectural forms and architectural technical details can easily be solved with the collaboration between the two disciplines.
