Self-Portrait

This drawing reflects on my connection to the city where I grew up, Istanbul. It highlights the city’s unique location at the intersection of two continents. It also considers the effect of human activity on the environment.

Open Air Exhibition Hall

This model was inspired by the form of dinosaur fossils. The teeth and tail are the primary design elements. I wanted to capture the sense of movement and power associated with these ancient creatures. Therefore, I decided to deconstruct the fossil forms. I recreated them using glass, a modern and versatile material commonly used in architecture.

Agricultural Exhibition Hall

This model was inspired by the form of raised hills and used hexagonal units to capture a sense of organic architecture movement.

Interconnected Prisms

This model explores the relationship between different sized rectangular prisms to create a space. The prisms define the shape and layout of the interior, creating interconnected chambers and voids.

Functional Fusion: Public Library

This model is based on the previous design, and the space has been transformed into a functional structure.

Architectural Form

The building’s exterior, interior, facade, and any other details or features that are visible from this vantage point are all shown in this design, which is a profile view model. The building’s horizontal orientation and relationship to its surroundings are highlighted by the inclusion of windows, doors, balconies, and decorative details in the model.

Architectural Form

This model uses triangles to create an open and flowing space with a cohesive, structural design. Materials were chosen to complement the angular form and enhance the sense of openness. The model demonstrates an understanding of the structural capabilities of triangles.
