I see every new project as a challenge and I grasp every opportunity presented to me. I chase excellence in every aspect in my life and i have the ambition to learn and execute with the things i have learned. I have experience in all phases of architectural design. From concept development to schematic design to creating construction documents. I believe I can be a valuable asset to any team I work in.

The project is located in Bursa city center right next to the Bursa People’s Garden which is a large recre ational space and a park at the heart of the city. This project was our proposal for the national architecture competition for the new Bursa Atatürk Sports Hall. The competition was asking competitors to replace the existing sports hall while making a meaningful and strong connection with the built enviroment around the city as well as with the people inhabit it. We proposed a sports route to connect the rather disconnected parts of the city while hiding the sports center under a an extension of the People’s park. This allowed us to maximize the open areas and recreational spaces while fulfilling all the requirements of a modern spors hall.

Mars 2050 Habitat

Competition: Mars 2050 Habitat Student Competition // Finalist Type: Extreme Survival Location: Arcadia Planitia, Mars Individual Work

Mars 2050 Habtat project is a project created for a competition asking competitors a question. How can we establish a roadmap for a human civilization on Mars, starting from 2030 and ultimately concluding at 2050? I approached this question by trying to design a process instead of a static idea with final goal in mind. This process includes the logistics and the master planning of the mars colony from large scale to mi cro scale. I also decided to represent the project in the one of the best printed storytelling media. The comic book. The storytelling nature of a comic book fits the project.

Industrial Revitalization

Academic: 8th Semester Architecture Studio

Type: Production / Culture

Location: Kayseri / Turkey Individual Work

The city of Kayseri is known for its industry and production. Hovewer since industrial sites are generally established at the outskirts of cities, as time passes the city expands outwards and industrial sites become a part of the urban life. What generally ends up happening is after the city expands and grows new industrial sites built while the older ones gets demolsihed and gets repurposed. This project repurposes one of the old industrial sites in the city of Kayseri. Doing it by creating boutiqe production facilities that can engage with the community in the production process to keep the sites urban memory in place and merging it with cul tural and recreational spaces.

Academic

A I T Individual Thesis

Building On an Old Industrial Site

The project aims to create a place for people to gather while at the same time letting them enjoy and get educated about both the city’s ad the areas history and culture.

Pre 1920’s

Kayseri was a medium scale city prior to Turkish Republic. The city’s inhabitatnts were farmers and traders until the republic is founded.

1960

After the city started growing with the increased population, old industrial sites started to get into city center and people’s lives.

1923

After the foundation of Turkish republic. City of Kayseri became a big industrial center. After the production started the first industrial sites started to appear on the city.

1980

Considering having industrial sites in the city center is not optimal. The city abandons the old sites and starts building new industrial sites outside the city.

Experience of production

The projects acts like a hub for visitors to experience both the industrial production of the city and the culture. Visitors can stay at the hotel unit for the night. They can visit the exhibition hall to learn about the city’s culture. They can watch the production in the production unit and shop from he showroom. They can visit the local craftsmen workshops and watch them work on their craft while supporting them.

Merging With Green

The project features Green texture on different levels all over the site. On ground level visitors can enjoy their day on the park while visiting the visitor center or the exhibition area. On the roof level they can take breaks while at the library or enjoy their meal on the roof level of the hotel unit. This introduction of green texture is very crucial to the transformation of the area from an old industrial area to an are where people gather and experience.

Interconnected Layers

There are different layers people can occupy included in the project. These layers are interconnected in different levels and different units. People can wander through an underground level exhibition and find themselves in a park located at the lower levels. or they can watch the park while going from one unit to another using the bridges.

Konya City Library

Proffessional/Competition: Invited Competition 1st Prize / Concept Design, Schematic Design, Construction Documents

Type: City Library Location: Konya / Turkey Group Work:Designer

The project is located in the city center of Turkish city Konya. After the city council decide for the demolition of the old municipality building, a new plan for building a City Library in its place went underway. We proposed a building that would utilize the space on the site as efficiently as possible. To do that the building sits on the corner of the site unlike the old building which was located at the center and was creating too many unutilized spaces. By doing so the building creates a public square to be used alongside the library and creates quality open and closed spaces.

Old Municipality Building

The old Konya municipality building is occupying the site. But recent inspections showed it is structurally unstable and needs to be demolished. The city decided to build a library in its place.

Creating a Public Square

The building stands at the corner of the site to give people a public square to occupy. By doing this the library utilizes the open and closed spaces for the local community.

Inviting Inside

The library opens up invite people inside and also create a passage going through the building on the outside. Roof gardens are also created by pulling the parts of the facade away from the building.

City Library

The result is a library with a vibrant combination of open and closed spaces that will contribute to the future lives of the local community and shape the future of the area.

Ayvalık Animal Shelter

Comission: Comissioned by Local Animal Shelter In Ayvalık Type: Animal Shelter Location: Ayvalık/Balıkesir Indıvidual

The project is comissioned by a local animal shelter organization to house and rehabilitate stray and injured cats. The concept started by determining the smallest unit a cat can live and developed form there by an inductive method. There are two living areas connected to each other. One gives the cat a warm enclosed space while the other lets the cat intereact with the nature and open space by giving it a semi enclosed living space. The shelter is also equipped with necessary facilities like maternity areas for cats, a veterinary clinic, quarantine facilities and administrive units.

Living Space

The closed space that will house a cat is 3 sqm. This is the smallest unit in the project.

Forming the Courtyard

Sixteen of the units come together and form two sides that will cover the courtyard in the center. These units then connected with a corridor.

The Courtyard

With all the units are added and connected together the courtyard finally forms.

Connecting With the Nature

The closed and open spaces are connected together and joined with the nature that will be in the courtyard of the project.

Connecting The Units

All the necessary units that are needed to operate the animal shelter gets added to the living units, such as administration and healthcare.

Animal Shelter

After the addition of the caretaker house, the structure gets covered with roofingand completed
