Architecture Portfolio | 2025

Page 1


Architecture is a deeper expression of my love for art, a journey from two-dimensional creativity to the third dimension of space. I see myself as an architect who brings architecture into the fourth dimension, blending the possibilities of the new generation with the wisdom of the past.

III STEP

Time: Spring Semester | 2024

Concept: Adolf Loos, Raumplan

Location: Uncubozkoy, Manisa, Turkiye

Area: 1500 m2

Revit + Photoshop + Stable Diffusion + KREA

Due to the proximity of the mountainous area of the land, it rises towards Spil Mountain, and it is the area where the residences are concentrated. Below are the social relationships of the parks and where the city center is located. I plan the change of these elevation differences using social and non-social areas accordingly.

With passive security systems, I provide passive security only with the form and planning of the building, instead of energy and financial loss by actively operating cameras or security elements. I do this again with elevation differences and landscape elements.

III STEP Housing Floor Plans

Revit

I’m placing the houses on elevation differences, in order to utilise the sunlight. A housing project that adopts a minimalist life standard, a utopia. I created 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 residences. I created bridges between the residences and strengthened the interaction. I increased the light intake and green space usage with 5-metre openings between the buildings and the main circulation. Plans were drawn on RevitCAD.

I create a special circulation for residential users “I move the street up”. I create an environment that does not visually disturb the comfort and isolated from the external environment.

Passive security measures not only provide residents with a greater sense of security, but can also offer additional benefits such as energy efficiency and durability. Therefore, by integrating passive security measures in housing design, we aim to create a safe living environment not only for homeowners, but also for the world.

Manisa Youth Centre Project

Time: Spring Semester | 2022

Concept: Alber Camus, Dark Side of The Art

Location: Sehzadeler, Manisa, Turkiye

Area: 500 m2

Sketchup + Photoshop + Stable Diffusion + KREA

This is an Italian term which literally means ‘light-dark’. In paintings the description refers to clear tonal contrasts which are often used to suggest the volume and modelling of the subjects depicted.

I value this dark side of art and in order to emphasise the hierarchical nature of art, I raise the side facing the road, lower the elevation in order to ‘respect the historical building’ right next to it, and design a youth centre that rises to one end in 3D and contains the light of art.

Konutları kot farklarına oturtuyorum, Güneş ışığından yararlanmak adına. Minimalist hayat standartını benimseyen bir konut projesi, ütopyası. 1+1, 2+1 ve 3+1 konutlar oluşturdum. Konutlar arasında köprüler oluşturup etkileşimi güçlen dirdim. Yapılar ile ana sirkülasyon arasına 5 metrelik açıklıklarla ışık alımını ve yeşil alan kullanımını arttırdım.

“Art celebrates our existence as a way of discovering and deepening the meaning of life. In the search for truth, art traces our feelings and thoughts, offering us an inner enlightenment. Works of art nourish the human spirit and contributte to making sense of our existence because they express our feelings and thoughts in a universal language.”

Albert Camus

Facades with broken facades and contrasting facade designs that reflect the light inside, that is, art. I open openings in places that need to receive light, I close places that should remain closed, such as a conference facade.

As can be seen on the section, I divide the building into two parts and place it on different elevations and provide circulation to the building through intermediate elevations. I plan the social parts in one place and the functions such as technical and wet areas in another place.

THEA Museum

Aigai Archaeological Museum

Time: Spring Semester | 2023

Concept: Freeza, dbz

Location: Aigai, Manisa, Turkiye

Area: 2500 m2

in the concept museum

It is a museum where the experience in museums is linear, where learning is transferred one by one, and ends with the exchange of information and artifacts transferred with the change of spaces. The biggest problem of the land is that the elevation differences of our land in Manisa Aigai are too high. I divided the design of this denim difference into 3 and dedicated it to the 3 Goddesses of Aigai.

The land is sloping, divided the Circulation elevations

I dedicated the elevation to the Goddesses Aigai cherishes. Goddesses

I dedicated the elevations of this land to the Goddesses. 3 Goddesses; Demeter, Hestia, Persefonis. (Underground Goddess, Earth Goddess, Sky Goddess) These Goddesses, who also represent our position in circulation, constitute a museum exhibition that observes the life and values of the Aigai people. I also attach importance to human psychology, with a plan that starts from the underground and goes to the sky, rising and becoming increasingly enlightened.

Demeter; mourns after her daughter Persephone is kidnapped by Hades and goes to the underworld. In this process, nature dies and winter comes. Demeter’s sadness ends with Persephone’s return to earth as a result of an agreement between the gods, and nature comes to life again.

Hestia: She is a goddess who lives in the house of the gods on Mount Olympus and focuses on household duties. He is often described as a neutral and peaceful being among other gods.

Persephone: Kidnapped by Hades to the underworld, Persephone becomes queen during her stay in the underworld. The seasons appear due to Demeter’s sadness. When Persephone returns to the earth, spring and summer come, and when she is underground, winter and autumn occur.

Sustainable Agriculture & Seed Center project

Revit + Sketchup + Photoshop

Time: Spring Semester | 2022

Concept: Frank Lloyd Wright, Guggenheim

Location: Aigai, Manisa, Turkiye Area: 2500 m2

As a facade design, I am creating a facade with plant motifs with the help of Parametric Designs to reflect agriculture (I did it with the help of Sketcup - FFD).

“Sustainable architecture refers to an approach designed by minimising environmental impacts, increasing energy efficiency and taking into account natural resources. This approach aims to create sustainable urbanisation and living spaces by reducing environmental impacts, saving costs in the long term and improving people’s quality of life. Sustainable architecture aims to leave a healthy and sustainable environment for future generations.”

To design the ventilation system through the form of the building depending on the directions of hot and cold winds of the facades for sustainable design. Storing energy and water from the roof (370m3 annual water according to Manisa data). Maximum efficiency in photosynthesis with purple light.

‘‘We want to use the Bazaar as a attraction point. A museum has to work for all people, but it cannot attract anyone’s attention People who come to the Bazaar see the Museum and interact with as it attracts thier attention, and the purpose of the museum,

attention just with it’s name. museum, which is to inform people, is complete’’

Where Art Meets Architecture

Where I End and You Begin

To the artist within me, the child who never stopped drawing imaginary worlds and dreaming of endless possibilities—thank you for keeping the spark alive. Your unwavering curiosity and boundless creativity have shaped this journey, turning lines into spaces and ideas into experiences.

To those who have inspired, challenged, and believed in me— teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends—this portfolio is a reflection of not just my efforts, but the collective energy and wisdom you’ve shared along the way.

Architeacture, to me, is crafting stories, shaping emotions, and connecting people. With every project, I strive to honor the delicate balance between artistry and functionality, always guided by the dreamer within.

This portfolio is not a conclusion but a milestone, a promise to keep exploring, creating, and growing—both as an architect and as an artist.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
