“Light, material, memory, translated into space.”
I graduated from Marmara University’s Department of Architecture in 2023, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree in Urban Design at Istanbul Technical University. I approach architecture through its multilayered relationship with art and the city, prioritizing spatial experience, environmental harmony, and social coherence in my designs.
I build my work through an innovative and sensitive lens—shaped by light, nature, and the sense of place. The reflections that water introduces into space, the dialogue I form with natural materials, and the contemporary reinterpretation of traditional elements sit at the core of my research practice.
For me, art isn’t a supplement but an equal form of expression. What began with high-school studio workshops deepened through my painting education with Enes Sağdıç and Erdoğan Paksoy at Artika Art Atelier. In 2019, I joined a social volunteer project in Morocco through AIESEC, expanding my cross-cultural experience.
At the intersection of art and architecture, I aim to build a multidisciplinary language of creation. I continue to interpret ever-changing cities through spaces that connect the past with the present.
