Arcelik’s new dining hall is located in Arcelik HQ, in İstanbul, the interior were designed with the purpose of increasing motivation and also catering for a luminous, modern, warm, timeless space. The main idea of the design is to “catch the transparency” and “make the business life enjoyable”. The prominent determinants to create the sense of aesthetics are to prefer exposed ceiling, to display electrical and mechanical installation on the ceiling and to combine natural and warm materials, such as glass, natural stones, wood, interior landscape items, with the rough effect of its gross look. Acoustical ceiling mat blocks are integrated inside the lighting units to minimize the potential noise problem inside the dining hall integrated with entertainment spaces and meeting points.

The project of H2O, Water Research and Educational Center, was guided by the design tools and knowledge that I have acquired through Architectural Design and Sustainable Building Technologies courses lead by Prof. Gabrielle Masera together with Prof. Filippo Pagliani, which include advanced building materials, building physics as concept and calculation, nearly zero energy buildings, passive strategies and active implementations, life cycle assessment and minimizing the environmental impact during the life cycle of a building. During the project Sefaira, a software that provides real time energy, daylighting, shade analysis within SketchUp, allowed me to drive design decisions like form, orientation, facade design and building envelope development with real-time feedback.
The thesis project, London Internet Museum, started from a competition organized by Bee Breeders to present a building complex that would inspire and attract regional and even international attention. The museum should be a proud landmark and a valuable resource, as well as a representation of London’s emerging IT talent. Apart from the museum concept, WoolWich Well would also need to have dedicated areas for workshops, skills lab, and facilities to host guest speakers, professionals and students from all around the world. IT related events would educate and influence young IT professionals in order to help them grow and develop their skills, making them more capable of competing with other markets. And these events would spark interest of public and even encourage them to engage and explore IT on a professional level.
