Meal for 100 Spring 2023
ARCH 372
"Meal for 100" is focused on creating a dining space that can accommodate 100 guests, designing a setting where people from all over the world can come together and share a meal. For my table's location I chose a train station to increase exposure of a diverse range of people.Inspired by the setting, I incorporated a track system into the design of the table. The goal was to create a flexible and adaptable space that works for both meal preparation and dining for a large group.

Istanbul Community Center
Fall 2024
ARCH 572
The Valens Aqueduct has been a vital water source in Istanbul for centuries, supporting life through sieges, wars, and earthquakes. Though no longer used for water supply, it stands as a monument to the city's empirical past. Located in the busy Fatih district, it's surrounded by restaurants, markets, and historical sites but remains underutilized.
The Istanbul Community Center aims to revitalize the area by reconnecting the aqueduct with the community. The Center includes a public park, natatorium, and courtyard, blending community spaces with nature to highlight Istanbul's connection to water.
