Leadership

Born in Turkey and raised in diverse cultures spanning Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Canada, my multicultural upbringing significantly influences my architectural pursuits. Passionate about discovering new places, my positive nature drives my eagerness to learn.

Despite English being my second language, I’ve focused on advancing my architecture career primarily in English. Having lived in various countries, my perspective on architecture differs, and my goal is to become a successful licensed architect.

In my graduate studies, I aim to merge diverse conceptual ideas and cultural influences. The term ‘flow’ resonates with me, encapsulating how architecture seamlessly intertwines with our bodies, thoughts, and surroundings. As architects, we articulate this harmony through real-life projects.

Contemplating my thesis, “Flowing Through Architecture” aligns with my vision of architecture as a fluid, interconnected element in our lives.

“As a fourth-year student at McEwen School of Architecture in Sudbury, ON, my academic journey has been a tapestry of experiences woven across different cities and countries. This global perspective has allowed me to delve into the intricate relationship between diverse cultures and the architecture that defines them. My exposure to various design philosophies and the practicalities of building systems, coupled with in-depth courses on climate change and case studies, has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of how architecture shapes the environments we inhabit.

Looking forward to my Master’s education, I am eager to focus on unraveling the profound impact of diverse cultures on our personalities and lives through architecture. My envisioned research aims to explore how this interplay influences every facet of our existence. From the intricacies of design studios to the complexities of building systems, I believe that understanding the concept of “Flowing Through Architecture” can illuminate each step of our lives.
