What truly excites me is the opportunity to work on diverse range of projects that challenge conventional norms and push the boundaries of architectural design. I believe that academic studies have strengthened my need to acquire professional experience and technical solutions on challenges of the built environment.
During my previous experience, as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant and an intern, I had the privilege of working on multiple projects of different natures. This involvement alloed me to develop a deep understanding of the entire design process, from conceptualisation to construction.
I look forward, not only to extend the scope of my architectural knowledge, but also to be a part of a community of like-minded individuals that are the future of the industry. Hope this portfolio will reflect my interests.

Background-Old city
Places are products of processes that take time to create. Architectural notions do not materialise instantly; they are actions that, through the development of an idea, transfer from mind into paper and from paper into reality. The site is typically conceptualised in architectural imagination and processes as a physical place, a plot of land connected to the earth and governed by its physical laws. A site is also frequently thought of as an area that has to be altered, a blank slate that needs to be finished by an architec-
tural endeavour. However, in the architectural approach, the result unifies them. What if we implement the site’s interpretation as the project and vice versa? By locating, studying, and defining spatiotemporal events and patterns in the current context of San Isidro, Madrid. By addressing the relationship between the burial ritual and the everyday rhythms of the polis, we can route possible interactions within everydayness itself. The aim is not to impose a design on site but to organise the heavily stratified layers. However, it
is superficial to try to resolve those complex patterns by curating and composing a promenade through them. Organising a space encompasses more than just lining a walkway with visually captivating frames or accomplishing a compelling blend of programs. On the contrary, it means organising daily tasks in a way that communicates the value we place on both individual and social life. Through this reasoning, we convert our personal space or the one we extend to others, into a measuring instrument of our approach to life.

The type of concerete to be used for the construction of the prefavrecated concrete elements is waterproof concrete. Waterproof concrete is both damp-proof and wateright-this means that not only is soil moisture prevented from getting through to the concerete, but liquid water cannot penetrate it either.

The town of Ulft is socially disconnected. There is a shortage of social and public engagement space, while areas dedicated to the children are absent. Through the Social Synod for the People Hall, we not only propose revitalising the DTU complex but also sugest reconnection with the rest of the town, providing missing functions. Mainly through the strategic placement of urban furniture, design in the proposal’s vocabulary, on points of interest, we guide the visitor and the inhabitant to explore, inviting them to a synagogue.
The S.S.P. Hall in the urban context suggests and challenges Ulft’s cultural and social centre compared to its economic-shopping high street. Zooming in on theDRU complex, new paving and the additions of the missing functions of the plaza and children’s playground have been illustrated.
Moreover, through the S.S.P. Hall, we attempt to introduce a spatial play of contrast between transitions. Light and shadow, tension and compression, indoors, outdoors and semi-outdoors, transparent and opaque, old and new.

Tradition is not to meaninglessly copy and repeat the habits of the past. Tradition is to understand and update these habits for the current day. By examining the existing brick proportions and the dimensionss of the arches closely, we can break down the ornament and re-assemble it appropriately into a new vocabulary.

Moulsecoomb is a suburban area that consists of terraces, small houses of 2 or 3 floors scattered all over the hill, made out of red bricks, with generous front and back gardens. But lately, a gradual act of new blocks is getting risen (left side of the drawing), which begin to threaten the ‘villagy’ character of the area. Tall concrete and steel constructions start to overweight the continuous lines of small houses. It becomes evident that the area is slowly transformed from a suburban status to an urban one, through the demolition of the existing buildings and the construction of taller ones. With this way, the city council tries to achieve a higher density by sacrificing the history and the cohesion of the site. Is there a way of making good use of the ground plan and come up with a proposal, which preserves the character of the area while increases the density?
