My academic projects explore archaeological sites, housing and public spaces. I develop each proposal through site studies, plans, sections and visualisation, with a focus on how people move through buildings and their surroundings.
I graduated in architecture from İstanbul Kültür University in June 2026. During my Erasmus+ exchange at Politecnico di Milano, I worked in an international group on student housing and building technology in Bergamo.
My internships at Menark Mimarlık and the Mesa Nurol Yeşilyaka project introduced me to office drawing and revision workflows and to construction on site. I use AutoCAD, SketchUp, 3ds Max, Lumion, Photoshop and Illustrator for drawing, modelling and presentation.
