Maintaining The Spirit of PlaceIndependent 5th year thesisIstanbul, Turkey2011-2012Istanbul Technical University

The work displayed is a work sample of an independ-ent fifth year architectural thesis conducted in Istanbul, Turkey. The purpose of this research study was to gain a better understanding of how to prevent the deterio-ration of Istanbul’s urban fabric through urban regen-eration, while learning and understanding earthquake systems in a real world setting. Living and working in Istanbul provided an opportunity to become immersed in the culture and to further understand the sociological as-pects of the area. First hand experience was paramount in the understanding of this particular design problem. This regeneration project was a massive undertaking. I designed 3 types of apartment buildings, a mosque, and a cultural center, along with the city infrastructure and landscape in this area. (1 year project)

Narin Park Yeni KentProfessional WorkCerkezkoy, Turkey2011-presentOffice: Mimarlik Arestirma Merkezi

The Narin Park project is a design for a new city center in Cerkezkoy, Turkey, a city just outside of Istanbul. We designed over 1800 apartments, a large shopping center, hotels, landscape, parking, parks, pools, restau-rants, as well as boutique shops. For the Narin Park project I was in charge of the ini-tial design of the project following instruction and cues from Adnan Kazmaoglu (the firm’s principle and owner). I personally designed the apartments, shopping center and parks along the central corridor. We used Sketchup for modelling; Kerkethea/ V-ray and Photoshop for rendering; and did the layouts in In De-sign . The plans and sections for each building, parking, and site situations drawn in AutoCAD and touched up in Adobe Illustrator. I delegated and oversaw the design of the outer apartment buildings as well as the hotel and outer blocks, that were done by other team members .
