AA Summer School-Architectural Association School of Architecture-''Unbuilt London(2014)”Considering the cultural political and social repositioning of london we are asked to create our own "London DesigniAt the end o the workshop.We were supposed to submit an abstract model of our design. IaaC Robotic Fabrication-“ROBOTIC Moiré Effect(2018)” is an workshops aims to create a Moire pattern using robotic arms.Mainly we developed our grasshopper skills to control the robot and before the final production we created simulations to check if the desired pattern is created or not.

DARZANA
15th Venice Biennale Turkish Pavilion The project title Darzanà means dockyard and it is a hybrid word, like the Turkish word tersane and the Italian word arsenale. These words are derived or distorted from the same root, the Arabic dara’s-sina’a (place of industry). They all originate from the common language that developed in the Mediterranean from the 11th to the 19th century among people such as sailors, travellers, merchants, and warriors. Known as Lingua Franca, this was a shared language when Mediterranean was the main vessel connecting the surrounding cultures. In the same vein, it is possible to talk of a common architectural language and to define it as Architectura Franca. The installation has over 600 pieces that are hanging over the ceiling to create a ship-like silhouette.

GSS-Barcelona Teaching Assistant
Gss(Global Summer School), is a workshop that happens every summer all around the world which is done by IAAC. The purpose of these workshops are to push students to design with digital fabrication tools. In 2018 I was selected as a teaching assitatn due to my achivemnts last year. The aim of the workshop was to create an installation using steel rebars while using GRASSHOPPER as a form-finding tool and to control the robotic arm. With the help of the robotic arm, it was possible to bend over 500 pieces precisely according to design. And with the help of HOLOLENS, it was easier to essamble the installetion

Bending Process
Formwax:Complex Casting&3d Printing Iaac Thesis Project Additive manufacturing technology has evolved over the past decade and it keeps evolving. Yet, the construction industry cannot take full advantage of additive manufacturing. Only simple geometries can be printed due to support limitations. Formwax offers a reusable wax mixture that acts as a support. With the help of a mixture of wax and cellulose, a dynamic fabrication protocol is created, helping designers to overcome current fabrication limitations. It creates new opportunities to fabricate more complex shapes.

Wax Experiments Some experiments were made in order to come up with the best option for wax 3d printing. Strenght,Melting Point,Resolution,Cost and Origin were the parameters. After the experiments Paraffin was the best option to 3d print with wax.
Material Experiments Since paraffin was not viscous enough to achieve a succesfull print.Cellulose was added to mixture to increase the viscosity of the mixture. To come up with the best mixture ratio.Some experiments were made.After the experimetsn the best ratio was 27 gr. of Cellulose and 50 gr. Of wax.
Extruder Design
Dynamic Depositing Sequenece
Optimization Protocol According to the data that was gathered from the casting simulations and support study, it was decided to finalize the optimization of fabrication protocol. The regular printing sequence is where there are no supports needed. In this case, from the results that we got from the casting simulations maximum of 10 layers of material are deposited to print the outer shell and inner shell. Then a certain amount of wax is poured to reinforce the inner shell and then again a certain amount of concrete is casted into the formwork. This step is repeated until we reach a point where no supports are required.
Dynamic Depositing Sequenece
Optimization Protocol When supports are required in the outside or the inside of the inner shell, the fabrication process is switched to another sequence which is called critical printing point. In this sequence, 1 layer of the wax and cellulose mixture is printed. Then 1 layer of paraffin wax is poured and then 1 layer of concrete is casted. This sequence is repeated until the supports are no longer needed. Then we can switch to the regular printing sequence. This critical printing point sequence is helping us to overcome issues with supports since the paraffin wax is acting as a support for the inner shell.
Akbank Sanat lnvited Competition
This project is an invited competition that was arranged by the owner of the building. Only 10 best companies in Turkey was invited to this competition. The Akbank Sanat building which is located at the intersection of Istiklal and Zambak street is being planned to renovated while protecting the registered parts of it. The efFect of Istiklal Steet on this building is unavoidable. During the years this street has confronted with many incidents. With this thesis, it is acceptable to say that this building should become a part of the street with its design. The new design is welcoming the Istiklal street users with its facade and ground floor plan. The ground floor is keeping pace with Istiklal street’s chaotic atmosphere with harmony. The two-term played a major role in the design of the facade. Harmony & Oppositeness. While searching for HARMONY in terms of placing the mass.lt is planned to create an oppositeness in material and void areas.

Selcuk Cultural Center Competition
This was a competition opened by the municipality of İzmir. It was open to everyone and we became 9th out of 224 contestants. The aim of the project is to create a cultıral center that contains exhibitions areas, Auditorium, cafeterias and classrooms for private lessons. The aim was to create a street like path between building to attract people that are using the neighbor. While using materials and crating the semi-open public spaces we consider that it is a hot region of Turkey. This geographical characteristic affected our design in many ways.

Dystopian City/Suruc Academic Work
The refugee crisis is a global situation which raises many concerns in regards to the capacity and efficiency of the migration camps from across the Mediterranean Sea and Southeast Europe. With a lack of proper infrastructure, spatial difficulties and food and water shortage, the future of these camps is currently uncertain. Starting with 2016, Turkey is known to host approximately 2,688, 686 registered refugees, among which almost 30% are currently living in government-run camps located along the Syrian border. The province of Sanliurfa in Southeastern Turkey is one of the areas that offered shelter to the highest numbers of Syrian refugees. The second largest camp located in Sanliurfa is Suruc Camp, with a total number of almost 32,000 migrants that live in government funded tents. Within the camp there are health, education and security facilities that unfortunately do not match the increasing numbers of refugees.
