Designing more sustainable and equitable cities is the only way to ensure future societies can prosper. As a recent Master of Architecture graduate of Tu Delft, I am highly interested in seeking novel ways of expanding the role of architecture and engaging with other disciplines to ideate and design the future of the built environment.Aside from having worked on design projects across varying scales, from award-winning pavillions to museums, I also gained experience and critical insights into design research as a student. In addition to having a wide variety of software skills and being fast-learning and inquisitve, I’m also a fun person and great team member with broad experience in working with international teams in various countries. Now I’m most excited about further growing my skills and experience in a vibrant, fast-paced, innovative studio where learning never ends. keklik of birth: 21.05.1996 serrakeklik@gmail.com +31 0629258971 Technical University 2015-20 University native German

Even though music is a product of its environment, music venues today cannot keep up with this complexity and the ever-changing character of today. While music in the 21st century is omnipresent and accessible for the consumers as water, typical music buildings require a list of requirements to be accomplished to access the performance. Those buildings stand still in cities almost in contrast to the transformations, by being over-determined, refined and

project Music Factory is a result of the Public Building graduation studio where the vital role of music as a public event and how we may engage architecture in music as an important part of civic life and urban milieu was explored. Music Factory is not a single building, it is a combination of different fragments, performances, users, and materials. It embodies complexity and is able to transform as the Binckhorst itself . Music Factory aims to blur the border between the audience and the performer as it brings the audience right into the music production and subverting the spectacular element of music performance.6

transformations of the post-industrial Today,as a result of the expansion and the transformation, former industrial areas that used to be outside of the cities like Binckhorst, are being absorbed and transformed by the Musicianscities.have been questioning how music should transform with the changes in the environment. Therefore we should also question what could be the spatial requirements of a music venue that will emerge in an environment of transformation like Binckhorst.This is crucial, especially today since we are facing the buildings that are left vacant or need to be demolished since the program of the buildings is changing.

importance of the void
By removing the walls of the current asphalt factory and converting the site into a void again the project aims to become the intersection of both the neighborhood and the music. Through the interaction and negotiation of the two programmatic slabs (infrastructure slab+ cultural program slab), the varying programs around the void activate the music square and the music square becomes a gathering space of this new expansion of the city. Its not hard to imagine this space being part of celebrations during kings day with boats joining from the harbour side or demonstrations when people of the are wants their voice to be heard.

The seed conceptual design project developed in 10 weeks within the MSc2 studio Borders&Territories in TU Delft focuses on the relation between architectural research and architectural design. The studio investigated the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and surroundings reflectiong on the extreme territorial and infrastructural transformations, and the radical phenomena of density/depopulation in urban post-conditions present in these contexts, through design Theexperimentations.project illustrates a nanoprogrammed seed developed by a collective that are against the increasing control of movement and mind in modern high paced , high density cities in the pearl river delta. It is a responsive living structure developed as a critisism of the architecture that is still , that is not responsive and that leaves no space for exploration.

Here the seed will grow into bigger spaces than transform growing limbs that create paths in search of more stimilus.
The intervention site is the HZMB Terminal in Hong Kong section that is built on a reclaimed land just built for the specific purpose of control. Resulting as an artificial island with no freedom in movement. The seed aims to grow and spread digesting static structures

The new life model established on the island is a simplified and sustainable version of people’s habits, places used, and relationships. In today’s world, and since the early ages of humanity; Life takes place in the basic three spaces and derivatives of these spaces : sheltering units , social units and production units.

The age of fast consumption we are in is filled with many urban, architectural and social expired products. Products that serve specific purposes and are not adaptable face with abandonment and waste category when they are not in active use. Galatasaray Island (Suada), which is selected as the project area, is an important sample of those subjects both in terms of location and urban memory with its discharge and closure in 2017. Concept of the project came up with the idea of establishing a life model from “zero”, which is self-sufficient within the boundaries of the island, contains many sustainable living systems with continious daily life practices.

Fabrication workshops seen around the open air stage are places with machinery and research equipments for fabrication with the recycled waste materials.
7 living quarters These are the accommodation units with 1, 2 and 3 personality typologies that can accommodate long term volunteers on the island, which we can call them ‘locals’.
*cycle of life
Shipping containers are used to create climate controlled enviroments to sustain farming activities through the year. The feeding of plants are fulfilled by reusing the water that are enriched by fish excrements in the fish farm.
1 recylcing Here wastes collected by passive collectors are being seperated , recycled and used for different purposes. In addition to that the factory has a tubular algare photobioreactor second skin. on the island because everything is home grown or home produced with a purpose and a plan.Vertical farming is the main source of food on the island and its substrates come from the materials collected from the Ocean Cleanup Project. Projects like Ocean Cleanup and the work that is being done in the community garden come from the social aspects of ada.0 and the community building efforts that they make to create a sustainable life.
2 assembly If the island is a spaceship, than this is the hub.As the social center of the whole island , this is a multifunctional space that can transform depending on the need of that given event. It is vital to functionality of the island as cerates a sense of community and togetherness between the islanders.
5 sea bath/stage This area is used as a sea bath during the day and becomes an open air cinema at night.
3 urban farm From containers full of hydraponic farms, chicken coops, urban farming plots and fish farms provide food for islanders. Also they sell the goods at the island market for Discardedincome.
Every aspect of island life can be boiled down to 3 main topics: Production , Social Life and Housing ; these are the three essential facets of island life and they are all interconnected in their life cycles. The cycle starts with dwelling and inhabitants that are coming to the island their housing needs need to be somehow fulfilled and then comes food electrictiy and water all of which are linked with production. Production is the driving force behind everything

Our design focuses on creating a safe environment where discussions on topics such as equality and human rights will be held. It functions as a catalyst for the involvement of the female community in the village trough their participation in the construction process where they will hold these conversations. With such a program and the creation of job opputunities the Women House will contribute to the developement of Baghere village economically and socially. The placement and the orientation of the building underlines the horizontality of the main road, coherent with climatic requirements, intended to intrigue passerby.

It is accesible for all and welcomes everyone to join the conversation.
Intervention site Beylerbeyi stadium was one of the lands that were left untoouched but also neglected. The stadium is located at the top of Beylerbeyi, having one of the best views of Istanbul and is very accessible oriented between the historic neighborhood and the coast. It is being used by a local football team which can obviously train somewhere else which is a better facility.

On the other hand, this land is promising for starting a new idea.
The plague is an ecological campus started by the local community of Beylerbeyi conquering the land to start a movement towards the privatiztion. They settled there started urban farming and building up space for their own. People who heard about it came to contribute as a volunteer including scientists, architects, engineers .The idea spread like a plague. In the end, Beylerbeyi campus became the starting point of this movement, still functioning as it was but also became an attraction for agricultural tourism.
