Maintaining The Spirit of Place Independent 5th year thesis Istanbul, Turkey 2011-2012 Istanbul Technical University
The work displayed is a work sample of an independent fifth year architectural thesis conducted in Istanbul, Turkey. The purpose of this research study was to gain a better understanding of how to prevent the deterioration of Istanbul’s urban fabric through urban regeneration, while learning and understanding earthquake systems in a real world setting. Living and working in Istanbul provided an opportunity to become immersed in the culture and to further understand the sociological aspects of the area. First hand experience was paramount in the understanding of this particular design problem. This regeneration project was a massive undertaking. I designed 3 types of apartment buildings, a mosque, and a cultural center, along with the city infrastructure and landscape in this area. (1 year project)

Narin Park Yeni Kent Professional Work Cerkezkoy, Turkey 2011-present
Office: Mimarlik Arestirma Merkezi
The Narin Park project is a design for a new city center in Cerkezkoy, Turkey, a city just outside of Istanbul. We designed over 1800 apartments, a large shopping center, hotels, landscape, parking, parks, pools, restaurants, as well as boutique shops. For the Narin Park project I was in charge of the initial design of the project following instruction and cues from Adnan Kazmaoglu (the firm’s principle and owner). I personally designed the apartments, shopping center and parks along the central corridor. We used Sketchup for modelling; Kerkethea/ V-ray and Photoshop for rendering; and did the layouts in In Design . The plans and sections for each building, parking, and site situations drawn in AutoCAD and touched up in Adobe Illustrator. I delegated and oversaw the design of the outer apartment buildings as well as the hotel and outer blocks, that were done by other team members .
