It is aimed to customize and mobilize living spaces and to suggest the most appropriate neighborhood relationship with artificial intelligence. We suggest a dynamic population and a new class housing combination for sustainability.
Accumulated Memories
-Mobil App-
This project focuses on the preservation and promotion of cultural layers and memories in the Hanlar District, Ankara. This region embodies social sustainability and coexistence, driven by a strong local production synergy. Through cultural routes and initiatives, the project aims to combat the loss of intangible values caused by popular culture and economic challenges. By encouraging people to explore the region and support local producers, it strives to celebrate the unique heritage and create a deeper appreciation for the cultural richness of the Hanlar District.
(L)EARN

(L)EARN is a mobile app project designed to reintroduce and engage users with the cultural heritage and entertainment culture of Gençlik Parkı, a significant urban space in the history of the Republic. The app targets university students, providing an interactive learning and presentation experience. Users will visit important points, answer questions, and earn points, fostering a deeper understanding of the park's history and cultural significance. Through (L)EARN, the aim is to revitalize the connection between young users and Gençlik Parkı while highlighting its past values and promoting interactive exploration.
interUrban 4.0
-Urban Design-
InterUrban 4.0 is a project that aims to address contemporary urban issues through a self-produced, self-sufficient, and mobile city model. The project proposes the adaptive reuse of Tuzla shipyard, an industrial and cultural heritage site, by creating a metabolism urban model with a megastructure and plug-in islands. The design incorporates existing cranes and materials from the shipyard buildings, creating a dynamic population and a new working-class housing combination. The system integrates with the sea, the city, and the old industrial buildings, creating a memory of the shipyard and Tuzla.
METAMORPOLIS
-Housing Design-
Metamorpolis is a post-pandemic residential concept project in Ankara's Koru neighborhood. Inspired by metamorphosis, we've created a dynamic vertical architecture that adapts to changing needs. With strategic entrances, axes, and paths, we've crafted a living experience like no other. Our units and backbone infrastructure form a symbiotic relationship, ensuring rapid production and mobility. Bridges seamlessly integrate workspaces with homes, preserving privacy. You can explore Metamorpolis, where transformation meets innovation.
PASSAGE
-In-fill Design-
PASSAGE, an urban infill project, intertwines a hotel and convention center in an existing urban space. Blending Ulus' vibrant commercial center and Çankaya's residential area, it explores solid and void relationships. Inspired by the flâneur concept, the design creates a dynamic experience, unveiling Zafer Square's underground art museum. The massing follows street contours, integrating terraces for a seamless urban connection. The convention center's adaptable spaces, including an integrated outdoor foyer, cater to diverse needs, inviting engagement.

THESIGN
-Landscape Concept Design-
THESIGN, a concept landscape project at ODTÜ campus, tackles circulation issues by integrating a design inspired by the relationship between the elephant and the snake in "The Little Prince." The star map of the campus's foundation day guides the placement of linear elements, creating a sequential journey. An open-air common space fosters active engagement. Harmonizing users, nature, and the built environment, the design preserves greenery while offering an intimate experience with the sky.
Haunter of Wait
-Dijital Art-
"Haunter of Wait" is a captivating 2D digital art project that explores the mysterious beauty of waiting. This digital illustration conveys various emotions and mindsets associated with waiting I want to encourage viewers to reflect on the complexity of waiting and provide a deep and thought-provoking experience about space, mythology, and the human psyche.
