I’m a researcher and architect with a focus on 'form design and making', 'experimental spatial design', 'immaterial and immersive space design', and 'computational strategies for post-disaster architecture' (explored after the 2023 Turkey Earthquake). After graduating in Architecture from Istanbul Technical University (2018) and completing a master’s in Architectural Design (2023), I am now pursuing a PhD in Architectural Design Computing at ITU. Alongside my research, I teach design studios at Istanbul Medipol University and co-lead İlişimler Collective (since 2019), where we explore spatial perception and the interplay of material and immaterial elements.
I’m defined by my determination, high motivation, and adaptability, combined with strong communication and social insight that empower me to lead, collaborate, and create meaningfully.
