Bursa Ataturk
Sport Center
Bursa
Architectural Competition
3rd Prize
The Nationel Garden, which replaces Bursa Atatürk Stadium and makes a
neighborly relation with Atatürk Sports Hall in the south, brings together
The Nation Library and the Fountain building that integrates with landscaping
arrangements that bring various plant species together and walking
tracks, with the citizens. While reconsidering the Atatürk Sports Hall, which is
surrounded by significantly large public green spaces and cultural facilities
with the contribution of the Nation Garden and Reşat Oyal Cultural Park in
the west of the project site, the main subject that is prioritized is to conceal
the structural installation inside of the defined green context.
While maintaining the continuity of the sports culture that Atatürk Sports
Hall has been retaining from past to present, a holistic installation that is
in search of a balance between open, semi-open, and closed spaces that
are diversified with the recreational areas is proposed. While protecting the
pedestrian axes coming from the Nation Garden and Reşat Oyal Cultural Park
and ensuring anuninterrupted circulation considered important, leaking of
the circulation through a slit in the landscape to the Sports Hall has been defining
for the gradual transition scenario between spaces. The mound constitutes
the physical conditions for allowing the appropriate height accordingly
to the standards for a basketball court in the building,and at garden level it
becomes a whole with the sitting units, increasing the potential for visual
relations with the culture-park. As for the pit, in the building it coincides with
the projection of the swimming pool while at the garden level it meets with
the water trace, turning into a spiral play pool. Thus, making the contrast
relation between the mound and the pit and also gets organized between
the inside and the outside.
The sports street that is located on the axis of the artery that stretches from
the Çarşamba area makes for one other layer of the proposal. The wall/street
proposal that overflows the sports outside of the building, emphasizes once
more the importance of the sports in the region’s urban memory. The lower-level
equivalent of the area defined as the street on Stadyum Street level
(+147.50 m), becomes a sports wall diverse with activities such as climbing
wall, skateboarding zone, and slides. Amphitheater seating arrangement
that is placed on the same wall is located between the same axes as the
basketball court and allows the game to be able to be viewed from the open
space.
Considering the built enviroment in the region,
the building mass sits close to the border of
the national garden
The building mass breaks down to functions.A
direct connection is defined between the foyer
and sports wall units from the Çarşamba
area to the Reşat Oyal Culture Park.

Duatepe Park
Duatepe/Istanbul
Architectural Competition
2nd Prize
The project that located in Istanbul Duatepe,includes the functions of a park arrangement,
open exhibition area, cafe and bookshop. The project, which has very critical location
for Istanbul, because it is at the narrowest part of the Bosphorus and is located
on the hill above the city castle Rumeli Hisari. It has a historical importance as a mass
grave where martyrs were buried during the conquest of Istanbul.
The project also reorganizes the city park located in the west of the area. The city park
and the viewing terrace are located at the same level and a continuous pedestrian
flow is provided. A person in the park can leave the park by walking on the terrace
without descending the lower level. The viewing terrace that continues the axis of the
Bosphorus offers visual access to the Bosphorus and the Rumeli Hisari. The terrace
emerging through dense trees instantly leaves the person alone with the Bosphorus
and the view.
The area defined by the viewing terrace in the plan turns into an open exhibition
space with the Spolia wall and steps. Spolia wall represents the multi-layered structure
of Istanbul. The pool located on the axis where the wall ends, merges with the
Bosphorus at eye level, giving a feeling of eternity. It contains square codes that take
memoirs located in various parts of the area and include digital exhibition about
history
With the landscape arrangement, an integrated continuity between the city park and
the landscape is wanted. The current historical topographic situation was preserved
and a new stratification was brought on it, and amphitheater, steps and landscape
arrangements were made. Amphitheater, stage and cutscene can be used for various
activities. The traces of the old set walls were preserved and the new geometric landscape
arrangement was made according to them. The relationship established with
the view, open exhibition and amphitheater at the top level becomes more calm and
peaceful by establishing with plants and nature throughout lower levels.

Cultural and Movement
Experience Center
Levent/İstanbul
4th year project
8th semester
The Movement and Culture Center located on Levent Büyükdere street in the parcel
belonging to İş Bank. The structure was designed in the future, in the post work world.
According to the post work scenario, automation and robots took their professions
from people and they no longer need to work.They have plenty of free time to
discover themselves. They will ask themselves quaetions like what we going to do,
what is the purpose of life? The only thing that automation and robots can’t capture is
creativity and craft. People want to produce, act and protect their mental health. The
Movement and Culture Center tries to answer these problems with the fields of art,
craft, movement and mental discovery.
The building is located on an important border on an urban scale and creates a buffer
between high towers and low levent villas. It will related to both in terms of scale.
The large building mass gradually breaks down and turns into kioks that will form
courtyards with different functions, and tries to descend to the scale of the villa. These
kioks offer different experiences to the user such as children’s playground, parkour,
greenhouse, quiet room. It becomes a kind of tool for the user to discover himself and
find out what he likes to care about.
There are various libraries, informal and formal performance areas, auditoriums,
individual and collective study and discovery areas, dance, music, art, craft workshops,
sports area and children’s playgrounds in the building scale. Functions are chosen
on cultural, mental and movement experience. In the place where all the spaces and
functions flow into each other and the circulation corridors meet with informal areas,
the user also has the opportunity to discover himself and various performances and
activities. The circulation area in the interior turns into a semi-open corridor outdoors
and this corridor combines with the kiosks to take the user to the courtyards. The
floors melt and turn into vertical circulation.
The entire structure is built on a circulation experience, and as long as the user wanders,
he has the opportunity to discover himself and the actions he encounters.

Haydarpasa Modern Art
Museum
Kadıkoy/Istanbul
4th year project
7th semester
The modern art museum, located in Haydarpasa, Kadıkoy, aims to restore and re-use
old silo buildings. The project offers a green route with a bicycle and pedestrian path
that will connect the Kadıköy Moda coastline with the Uskudar coastline, based on terrain
surveys at the upper scale. It creates a ring that connects to the Kadıköy funicular
line by opening the rails that are currently in use and not currently used. By opening
Haydarpasa Pier, it provides transportation from the sea to the land.
In addition to the function of the contemporary art museum, open exhibition areas
extending to the archaeological site include artist in residence, educational and
commercial functions. It crosses the pier and tram in the welcoming square with the
overpass from the Moda axis. There are functions such as open exhibitions and market
areas, cafes and restaurants in this square. One of the silo buildings is dedicated to the
function of the contemporary art museum. There are also workshop areas in the museum
building. Two main volumes, which will create an additional gallery for the silo
cylinders, are atteched and form the main space between the cylinders by evacuating
the place they are atteched.Three galleries inside the building open to each other and
create a visual continuity. The roof section has a restaurant function. The structure
with square silos is reserved for the artist’s residance function and is connected to the
museum building through the bridge. The second silo building is devoted to educational
functions. It includes activities such as workshops, theater dance workshops,
children education activities auditorium.
Due to the place of the industrial heritage Silo buildings in the urban memory, the
seaside facade has been Due to the location of the industrial heritage Silo buildings
in the urban memory, the beach front has been preserved. It is aimed to shed light on
their structures and open volumetric spaces with the masses attached to the northern
facade. Again, in order to remind the mobility situation in the area, open exhibition
units that move on the rails have been designed, and these units can slide into some
playgrounds and sometimes turn into performance areas

Galata Music Venue
Sishane/Istanbul
3th year project
5th semester
Galata Cultural Center Sishane is a proposed cultural center building instead of the
Beyoğlu Youth Center building in Istanbul. The building has a total area of 2500 square
meters with 400 square meters of auditorium, 250 square meters of exhibition, 150
square meters of library, 250 square meters, 250 square meters of music and dance
studios and other functions.
When the area is analyzed on an urban scale, the Galata Tower and its commercial
functions around it constitute an active center. Commercial units, cafes and restaurants
in Asmalı Mesit, located in the northwest of the area, create another active area.
The region where the project area is located has a city hall and a tax office. The project
area in Sishane Square aims to make the area an active area with its commercial and
cultural functions, and by staying between the Galata tower and its surroundings and
Asmalı Mescit areas, it creates a third active area between the two regions and searches
for the answer to the lack of socialization.
The structure consists of three main sections. The first section contains a concert
hall, foyer, backstage and commercial functions. The second section contains cafes,
exhibitions and commercial functions and is located on the subway exit level. The
third section contains dance and music studios, library and management functions
that appeal to the users with semi-pirivate functions. The mass, which forms the first
part, withdraws itself and creates a square in front of it, and this square works with the
foyer of the auditorium. The foyer moves out and becomes part of the square. It works
together with the sales unit indoors. The square is on the road level and invites the
users inside
The facade morphology of the street was investigated in the facade design. On the
facades of the streets, each building has different rhythmic openings, and when they
come together over the years, they form a front rhythm on the whole street. The cultural
center that is built today and will be a part of the street is today’s interpretation
of these rhythms

Sile/Istanbul
2nd year project
3th semester
The project located in Sile includes a nature route, exhibition structure, library and
unit functions where an artist can stay for several days. Şile is located on a hard slope
just below the lighthouse. Different types of plants and rocks on this slope have been
turned into places experienced on the route. The route is divided into two, the first is
the route that descends slowly with stairs and the pause on the slope, and the second
is the route that includes climbing and jumping, which is a difficult track, and goes
into a view tube in the sea.
The route navigates between plants, clings to rocks, rubs, establishes a relationship
with water. At the end of the route, the area where the structures that use the surfaces
of the rocks stuck between the rocks as structural elements are reached. Here there
is an accommodation unit where the artist can live and work, and this is located in an
area hidden from the exhibition and library unit. The exhibition unit rises in the interior
and invites the visitor to the semi-permeable outdoor volume, where it is ensured
to establish a relationship with water. The cubes located in the sea form a transition
between the library and the exhibition space.

Featherweight
Eyup/Istanbul
1st year project
2nd semester
Featherweight is a human scale basic design pavilion located at İstanbul Bilgi University.The
purpose of the project is that, create a tunnel that can cover on area of 5m2.
Designed to tunnel by running itself and creating space instead of straight clarity.
Thanks to the transparent surface that make up the perception of space, the relation
ship with outside is not interrupted while in the tunnel Not only people but also animals
perceive the crossing not because the surfaces,that makes up space,touch
the ground like a wall. That show us design is a clear way of thinking that is not just
for people.
By using single spring we tired to create the project but we tired to create the project
but we realised it started to became 2D and it was able to move only in one way so
to avoid that we created a component that can reference on x,y,z directions.By combining
two of the triple components we created a group and then repeating these
groups the stucture was created.Lastly the unnecessary components were taken out
of the stucture.
Surface system: Maded an interaction between the different parts by using surface at
the same time the tendence that the surfaces created we made sure of stability of the
structure. On the other hand it helped with the walking way and place

Sketches
The stories of the building materials and objects in an inn where you can be isolated
from the rough and noisy streets of the Grand Bazaar,
The story of the tower, from which children and animals can go up to the top floor,
The stories of people who discovered the labyrinth around the pond,
The story of an artist who climbs to the top of a mountain alone, who builds his own
home with materials,
It tells the story of the London trip.
