The Ambivert Pavilion is a user-controlled envelope that can accommodate a myriad of small, social gatherings. With moveable louvres, users can dictate views and access points, subsequently affecting the social condition within the enclosure. A table was added to encourage standing drinking and casual conversation during the expo in which this pavilion debuted. A transluent skin on the aforementioned louvres offers a playful canvas for light and shadows: trees block sunlight and their shadows flurry across the pavilion during the day; moving silhouetted and streams of light that radiate outward invite passersby during the night.

School of Design -Fikirtepe, Ä°stanbul, Turkey | 2016/2017 | Individual | Design Studio V (seventh semester) -Role in the project: Concept design, planning, CAD drawings, 3D Modeling, maquette construction -Contribution to the project: Developing an university building composed of 4 different design faculties, elaboration of an auditorium with capacity for 400 people, designing a structural system with the consideration of parking garage, landscape design -Advisor: Mehmet Umut Deniz (mehmetumutdeniz@hotmail.com)
Fikirtepe is a densely populated area which is subjected to urban regeneration since 2013 and is open to new scenarios. University building serves as an educational public building, an open air exhibiton space surrounded by pathways, an auditorium and gallery space for inhabitants. Landscape design of the project tries to enrich the relationship between the lake and the green areas. KurbaÄ&#x;alÄądere Lake was one of the most important features of the site that shaped the building. The whole project is connected by a bridge system which also serves as a space for gatherings and a place to enjoy lake vista.

University building is designed as a hub for cultural events, education and recreational purposes. A meticulous green strategy was considered, periphery of the site is left as a large green belt and each faculty is shaped by large inner courtyards, so each studio is embraced by a green scenary. The green roof of the university building, absorbs excess runoff and protects the building from the lodos, a strong wind that blows in the region.

Mudurnu Culinary School
Mudurnu, Turkey | 2015 | Individual | Design Studio III (fifth semester) Role in the project: Concept design, planning, CAD drawings, 3D Modeling, maquette construction Contribution to the project: Doing interviews with mayor and city dwellers, analysis of culinary culture of Mudurnu, producing a documentary about kitchen habits of Mudurnu inhabitants, basic understanding and designing of a culinary school, agricultural field and restaurant Advisor: Emre SarÄąoÄ&#x;lu, Zeynep Talayer (etorbaoglu@gmail.com)
(office@ztalayer.com)
Mudurnu Culinary School initally tries to embrace the kitchen knowledge from senior citizens and creativity from younger generations. As well as creating a strong relationship between two generations, school aims to enhance the very unique culinary culture of Mudurnu. The complex includes, practical and theoretical cooking classes, open and enclosed restaurants, agricultural fields, hobby kitchens and active places for gastronomic researches. The shell of the structure tries to emphasis on the dynamic cooking activities as well as tries to connect with the valley form of Mudurnu.
The plot is in the cross section of 3 activities and stren- According to the daily habit of city dweller, one uses main axis gthens a communal relationship between different fun- of bazaar, market place, mosque and school (brown) as well ctions. as lake path (blue) for recreational purposes therefore, main facade welcomes the inhabitants from the lake side.

Site
Design process have started with understanding of this small town which was settled through a valley and divided into two parts by the lake. A hundred years old religious habit called “esnaf duası” (worship of artisans) has been conducted every friday which is celebrated by distribution of food to increase their profit from work.There are very unique meals (e.g. keşkek, güveç, oğmaç çorbası, tarhana çorbası) which are is originated from Mudurnu and spread to other cities of Turkey and are likely to be forgotten as they are only cooked by older generations. Therefore aim of the project is to create a dialogue between young and old by transfering the culinary habit of Mudurnu to young genereations.

Like a Flower Through the Asphalt İstanbul, Turkey | 2015 | Group | Ecoweek 2015 Workshop Role in the project: documentation of site, concept design, diagram drawings, photography, presentation of the project to the audience Contribution to the project: Working as a team on the revitalisation of a neglected place into an urban park Advisor: Silvia Lupini, Ruşen Aktaş (silvia.lupini@gmail.com)
Hasanpaşa Gaz Factory was one of the main energy sources in 1900s in Kadıköy. As there was a change in energy sources and lifestyles in late twentieth century, the gas factory was officially closed down in 1993. It has been neglected almost 20 years and the place is isolated from the surrounding by tall fences which reduces access of inhabitants. In large cities like İstanbul we tend to search for some voids, places where we could take breath and be still within the city pattern. And there are such fragile spots in bigger cities which needs a small sparkle rather than a construction project. In this project we decided to be scientists, landscape designers, and doctors to regenerate and heal the scars of the place.
We started our workshop by observing and understanding the site by not only looking around but also feeling it by our 5 senses.The outcome of the observation was that it was not human scale, surrounded by barriers and there was already an inhabitant of the area very strongly connected to city called “nature” .
16
According to these observations we got inspired by the existing buildings and we tried to understand how nature can invade the urban area when there is no human intervention. Therefore, our desire was to break down the barriers, bring the people in and fasten the growth of green and let people meet this intricate relationship between nature and architecture.
17
Our strategy is to provide feasible, low cost, renewable and livable areas which leads to sustainable and resilient places.
Recycle materials We want to make a storage for existing materials such as brick, stone and wood which could be reused in the future by people. Gather We highlighted a place which would attract people and evolve into a possible meeting point.
Urban Gardening To use natural terraced topography of site. We give people a chance to plant their own vegetables and turn this area into their gardens.
18
Recycle of rainwater Also the rainwater will be collected to be used for watering of plants and to direct them into existing canals it could be a future playground for kids.
Playground As there are existing materials around the site such as stone, we want to turn those into children’s playground.
Speeding growth of green As green places are one of the major requirements of big cities such as Istanbul. We want to speed up the growth of green to provide microclimate, livable and peaceful space in a period of time.
Spreading Culture We proposed some existing buildings which could be used for as a multi purpose place. One can read book and ispirate other for the spread of culture.

Communal areas are designed as flexible spaces. An open simple plan, with very few enclosed spaces, enables multiple uses and various configurations of furnishings. This central communal hall becomes the natural living room of the building in which patients and therapists can gather and socialise.
