I am enthusiastic to expand my experience about learning and applying resilient and sustainable strategies in different contexts in the light of experiencing new cultures and architectural disciplines through a critical way of thinking, while trying to combine my hand skill with my skills of representation and modelling using my knowledge in multiple softwares. I believe that the starting point of every design should be the user need and the site conditions and I always reflect these two factors on my design process.

extra curricular activities A Sustainable Urban Prototype along the Bilkent Lake | ARCH 402 - Ankara / Turkey (2018) A comprehensive studio work was carried out through the site analysis, case studies, literature review, 3D drawings, and student projects were collected in a book called “Urban Sustainability Node/ Sustainable Campus Extension for Bilkent University: INTER-LAKE” (http:// www.blurb.com/b/8763637-interlake-an-urban-sustainability-node) by volunteer students, and I have specifically worked on the design of the cover page. Participant of the Architectural Exhibition Hold by the “Nevsehir Municipality”| ARCH 401 - Nevsehir / Turkey (December, 2017) Among the 4th year student works of ARCH 401 in Bilkent Universty, the project had been selected by the Nevsehir Municipality and the instructors of the University to be exhibited in an exhibition hold by the municipality. Dwelling Space | International Workshop of Architectural Construction by Politecnico di Bari - Bari / Italy (July 2016) As the volunteers from Bilkent University, we colaborated with the architecture students in “Politecnico di Bari” in a historical region in Bari, in order to revive the cultural identity of “Polignano a Mare”. As groups of 4, we worked on “Casa a Schiera Verso Il Mare” project and published a book called “Dwelling Space and the Character of Places/ Lo Spazio Domestico E I Caratteri Dei Luoghi” (https://issuu.com/yigitacar/docs/domestic-space-bilkent). Children & Architecture - TMMOB (Turkish Chamber of Architects and Engineers) - Ankara / Turkey (2016) Within a workshop hold by the Chamber of Architects, children in a kindergarten were given certain materials and were observed to understand how they perceive these materials according to their perception and imagination. To change our horizon towards a new way of thinking about materials and architecture is tried to be achieved in this workshop through children’s perspective. Bilkent DAS (Design and Architecture Society) - Ankara/ Turkey (2013-2016) Actively worked on the annual event of the society, TasarımBilkent 2016 which is a two-day activity that professionals and architects come as guests and share their knowledge with the applicants.

Towards a New Way of Thinking About Food and Care Homes for Wellness of Elderly: Com-Vert Garden In Search of An Ecological Utopia: Healing the City Master Thesis Studio Location: Sint Denijs Westrem, Ghent / Belgium Advisor: Luc Eeckhout This master thesis studio is a research-based design studio, and the thesis can be reached via this QR Code.
The objective of this master thesis studio is to analyze the needs of Ghent and to propose an ecological utopia for the year 2050. The “ComVert Garden” is an abbreviation for “CommunityVertical Garden”, which refers to “converting” a caroriented neighborhood with an aging population, but without any social cohesion, into a livable neighborhood in which the elderlies have a direct relationship with food and nature. In this utopia, the local food system shapes the existing urban context in which the marketplace becomes the center of Sint-Denijs Westrem as a self-sufficient village regarding food. The building program is formed of two main functions: a care home and a food hub. Together with the negative environmental impacts of the traditional agricultural system, the the community is torn apart from the local food. Thus, the city has to be introduced with a new sustainable food system in which the community is reunited with food by involving in the process while minimizing the food miles. Considering the increase in the aging population and the incidence of health problems among elderlies in Belgium, the project searches for an alternative way of living for elderly to improve their wellbeing in the long term, in which they become a part of society while preventing the “foregone conclusion” of social isolation. Thus, the project introduces a new way of thinking about elderly care while fixing the current long-chain food system in which the elderly people would be mentally, physically, and socially active in the community by being involved in every step of the new food system that is conducted within the same place. This ecological utopia is actualized in “Com-Vert Garden”. 6

Site Analysis & Neighborhood Scale By acting as a bridge between the rural areas and the city center, ‘Sint Denijs Westrem’ turned into a car-oriented village, which led it to lose its sense of identity as a community in the last few years. Thus, to introduce urban agriculture would attain a new character to the area to strengthen the social ties.

The steps of this new local food system: 1 converting unused spaces at privategardens into an interaction point with food production 2 converting the car parking lot into an ecological corridor between the village and the Com-Vert Garden 3 transportation of the products produced in the village to Com-Vert Garden (4) via electro-cargo bikes 4 collection, production and distribution of the products in the communal food depot of Com-Vert Garden by elderly people To uplift the local autonomy and to improve the locals’ wellness, a specific part of the village is chosen in which residential and commercial zones are strictly separated by the barriers which leads lost spaces in private gardens. Rather than this spatial segregation, this area is evaluated for food production and a socializing point. The sun path reveals that the site is not exposed to daylight for a certain period. Thus, LED light is implemented in greenhouse, which guarantees a high yield. In addition to the greenhouse, the car parking lot is turned into an orchard which would also give yield, and act as an ecological corridor & sensory garden.

The products are collected at the depot of Com-Vert Garden, Garden which is also responsible for incorporating food production with aquaponics, vegetable gardens, community gardens, and interior food growing. The Food Team distributes the local food by logistic cargo bikes to the main public buildings in the neighborhood. The building also aims to engage the local community in healthy eating by providing a biomarket and a restaurant in which they can experience all the stages of the new local food system within this building.

Main Passive Sustainable Strategies in the Com-Vert Garden
Tackling with social isolation, way-finding and confusion is a crucial part of the design process. Thus, the care home is designed to be more than creating a care setting in which the caretakers feel and embrace it as their homes, rather than feeling as patients.
In this manner, the concept of “corridors orridors as living streets” is integrated by implementing color-codes streets to each floor to prevent confusion about wayfinding. Each residential floor is given a color, each has three main “living streets”, and each is named as the food that is being produced in that corridor. 15

Healing Gardens of Erasmus Hospital Architecture & Territory 24 Studio Location: Vogelzangbeek, Belgium Advisors: Steven Geeraert, Sis Pillen, Bart Van Gassen, Bruno Notteboom, Jolein Bergers Site Mapping: Group Work Architectural Design & Analysis: Individual Project
A comprehensive design starts with fulfilling human needs by understanding the context. An architectural intervention cannot be thought of in isolation. The studio aims to achieve this goal lnking theory and practice, and the first step was to find a problematic part of the site. Beginning with analyzing the valley of Vogelzangbeek, we derived from the question “What is already there?”: the accessibility by human and non-human beings is hampered by the boundaries. From this point of view, I observed that there is a clear cut between the Erasmus Hospital and the adjacent park with the ponds. This clear-cut which is formed by a car road hampers the interaction between man & nature sşnce it leads to a disconnection between different habitats. Thus, the landscape requires a transformation for the edges. The site is a transition space between the urban matrix of the city and the agricultural lands. Thus, observing the contrast between the wilderness of nature and order in the gardens would be interesting for the visitors. Starting from this point, the area is fragmented into several well-organized gardens developed in a grid system using the existing visionary lines of vegetation, spaces, circulation, and water elements. It consists of several vegetable gardens and gathering spaces for the visitors, and flower meadows that would increase the biodiversity and enable patients/ visitors to have a haptic experience. The design area that I focus on is envisioned as a healing garden that serves the pediatric department of Erasmus Hospital. To create a retreat space with a pavilion for the patients, a safe, flexible, and relaxing space that is blended into nature by being enclosed by flower meadows is aimed. A wooden deck is designed for the visitors/patients to enjoy the environment with sitting areas on the pond. 20

Site Analysis
1 the fence leading to an unwelcoming entrance to the private farm & discouraging people to come
4 boundary between road and nature reserve: rigid bushes & fences
2 boundaries of high vegetation, gutter, bushes, and trees show the feature of wildness.
3 boundary formed by high & middle-high vegetation
5 gate at the entrance of the nature reserve, and the earth path surrounded by bushes acting as boundaries
The reason behind the lack of interaction between man & nature is found to be caused by boundaries between the urban matrix of the city and agricultural lands.Thus, how they affect the accessibility, interaction and how they limit the spaces are searched. Two main factors define the limits of spaces: natural factors and human-made factors. 6 small creek that is polluted and not lively, running through the nature reserve separates the reserve into two areas
22
highly accessible for only animals highly accessible for animals, lowly accessible for humans dirt road accessible for animals and humans lowly accessible for animals, highly accessible for humans man-made fence highly accessible for humans paved road natural fence creek / gutter pond / canal trees

The site which is located between the Erasmus Hospital (1) and agricultural lands (2), is accessible with the paved roads between the hospital and natural area, but rather than connecting patches, they act as a rigid boundary leading to a decrease in the movement. It is not a pleasant habitat for animals to exist, thus the interaction between different organisms is really low. The water quality is not good and the interaction is limited.
The agricultural lands are isolated by wild vegetation. Overall, changing the mosaic of the area by creating a more rich transitional space in between the Erasmus Hospital and the creek would lead to a more rich area for both human and non-human beings.

In this manner, the car parking lots which are “ill-defined spaces” are included in the healing gardens. Since there is an emergency entrance of the hospital, the paved road is still kept, and shifted in North. In this way, it would not interrupt the area anymore. Besides, North-South connections are strenghtened with east-west trajectories. existing paved car road circulation in car parking lot new paved car road

The Roof Project Building Technology - Integration Location: Konya, Turkey Advisors: Glenn Kukkola (Bilkent University), Luyten Laurens, Blasco Marcelo (KU Leuven) Architectural Design: Individual Work | 3rd Year Design Studio in Bilkent University Technical Drawings: Group Project in KU Leuven
This project was initially designed during the third year of my bachelor in Bilkent University, and then detailed as a group project during the masters programme in KU Leuven. Urban greening has long been promoted as an easy and effective strategy for beautifying the built environment and increasing investment opportunity. From this point of view, the project is designed by taking the strategies related to building technology into account, such as the quality of comfort and sustainability, fire safety, ventilation and other factors in constructional physics. The challange of this course is to work on an alreadydesigned project, which means that the project can be detailed or changed within the limits of the initial design. The project is a 4-storey office building with a simple floor plan and an additional underground parking. The green roof is the most characteristic aspect of the design, with the triangle-shaped inclines that provides direct sunlight inside the building and stock the technical rooms, airgroups and the storages under them. It is also accessible by the staff of the building with gardens, recreational spaces and sitting areas. Stormwater management, high insulation, fire retardation, reduction in noise and heat island effect, improving the air quality, increasing amenity and green space with high biodiversity were the main concerns while using the green roof as a design strategy. All the technical details are hand-drawn.

The Poet House Architectural Detail Studio Location: Sassekaai, Ghent, Belgium Advisors: Jo Van Den Berghe, Louise De Brabander Site Sections: Group Work Architectural Design & Details: Individual Project
SASSEKAAI | 1:10 SECTION
Architectural drawing and detailing by hand occupy the centre of the method of this studio. The project was designed as a room for a lonely and melancholic poet to have retreat next to the ship lock - the sluice in Sassekaai, Ghent. It is aimed to be a place where the poet can gaze and enjoy the details. The project revolves around full scale 1/1 drawings of architectural details, connected with drawing fragments of the human body, in dialogues with scale 1/10 drawings.The details are designed according to the concept and needs of the poet. The poet in this scenario is keen on presence of nature and plants, light and water, and wants to be alone and hidden, away from the crowd. Thus, her room is designed to be embedded to the underground, in direct relationship with the canal. Her love of stones and admire to the “Dandelion House (Tampopo House)” by Terunobi Fujimori led the design to be evolved around nature implemented in carved stones as the main structure of the room. All the drawings and details are hand-drawn.

Site Analysis & Design Proposal Main goal while selecting the project site in Sassekaai was to find the best location where the poet can have a retreat space and the location next to the lock on the North direction of the site is chosen since it is more silent and away from the main car road. The building is embedded to the ground, and an opening is carved at the North direction to enable sunlight penetrating inside the space. The roof is designed as an inclined green roof implemented on interlocking stone structure, and it is above the eye level which lead the room to be a hidden space.

Detail 1: Skylight Detail (hand-drawn in 1/1 scale)
The main structure of the room is formed of interlocking carved stones, forming interesting details for the poet to gaze. Plants are implemented into these hollows in the interior to increase the prescence of natural elements inside. To maximise the sunlight inside a skylight is designed on the roof. A nodge for the rain to be collected in is provided at the lower edge of the skylight to attract birds.

Site Analysis & Design Proposal Detail 3: Openable Glass Floor An openable glass floor is designed for the poet to feed the fish in the canal. The spring system is inspired from the door spring in De Grote Post in Oostende, designed by Gaston Eysselinck, which was investigated as a part of the design studio.

Crossing the Borders Climate Design & Sustainability Location: de Porre, Ghent, Belgium Advisors: Luc Eeckhout Site Analysis and Architectural Design: Group Project
80% of the Gent’s population owns a car, which most of the time stand still. Moreover, 62% of the inhabitants of ‘de Porre’ use their cars to get to their work. Just as it is for de Porre, most of the CO2 emission in the city is caused by mobility. While there is a smooth decline in the usage of cars due to car sharing and bike usage, they are still limited. Thus, we, as the mobility team, worked in cooperation with seven other teams (energy, space, water, accessibility, nature, materials and urban). A bridge, with a modular multifunctional building implemented on it, is designed to improve the mobility in the region by 2050, lead a reduction in car usage by encouraging slow mobility, mobility, and an increase in the number of car-sharing spots & public spaces with greenery. In the neighborhood scale, to provide an agreeable walking area between two neighborhood (Flora and Moscou) is the main goal. They are disconnected because of a railway that cuts the region into two parts. Thus, the project is “crossing the borders” in Mellestraat, which is currently isolated because of the train tracks and N9 highway. In the light of these goals in city scale, instead of one small pedestrian bridge, we tried to create a way for pedestrians and bikes to cross these neighborhoods in a safe, fast, green and easy way and a bridge is designed to connect two neighborhoods in a green and safe environment. In combination with the building in the middle of the bridge we designed a modular flexible building, the design holds multiple functions: train station ticket points, bike parking spots both on top and in the legs of the bridge, car sharing points, 40 car charging points, shops, offices, 17 housing units and parks. The modularity is the main concept of the building to have a flexibilty in functions in future. 46

1 current car sharing spots in Ghent 48
The project aims to maximise the carsharing usage in Ghent, which is 5% now, and turn the city center into a carfree area by 2050, by minimizing the walking distance between public transport and carsharing spots (2). The car-sharing spots become a ten-minute walk from each point to promote car-sharing and to reduce the car usage (4). Furthermore, green axes are designed to be implemented through the city (3) that connect the parks and serve as “living streets” to uplift the urban ecology.

In the current situation, the Neighbourhoods of Moskou Vogelhoek and Flora are completely seperated from each other by a big border, the NMBS-site. To connect them, a bridge is designed above the train station connecting four different streets, which is not just a passing point but also an interaction point providing meeting and resting points with a lot of green space. In the middle of the bridge a multi-functional building is implemented, that functions as a train station, cohousing and offices. The bridge, with the ecological parks, bicycle paths and gathering spaces on it, is accessible for everyone by 4 ramps and elevators. The open space around and under the bridge is given back to nature. 49

The ground floor serves as a public space with shops, gathering spaces and cafes. It was designed considering the slow mobility. Thus, passage ways are connecting the east & west part by also creating an open space for the visitors. The ground floor is covered by kinetic pavement to generate energy for the building.

The structure of the building is made out of a wooden CLT grid of 4 x 5 meters. This way, the building can be filled with flexible modules so that functions and spaces can change in the future. For example a module for a family of 4 people can be replaced by two modules for a couple or a single resident in future. A
