Site Plan
Peksimet House is designed for a hot climate, with a focus on two key principles:
natural ventilation and seamless integration of interior and exterior spaces. The
villa's design is centered around a central courtyard, which is surrounded by three
terraces on the west, south, and east sides. These terraces allow users to utilize
exterior spaces based on weather conditions and time of day.
To enhance natural ventilation, the courtyard is strategically designed with
connections to each east and south terrace and ventilation windows on interior
separation walls. This arrangement creates a hot air extraction chimney that
utilizes the prevailing winds of the site in a controlled manner, ensuring favorable
climatic conditions within the villa.
The courtyard is situated in close proximity to the living room, dining area, and
south terrace. By employing a foldable floor-to-ceiling window system, these spaces
can be opened to form a larger living area, which maximizes living space and blurs
the boundaries between the interior and exterior. This configuration also enhances
natural ventilation within the villa.
The east terrace, located next to the transition from the main volume to the third
bedroom, is required to be detached by the client. It provides shade from noon to
evening and serves as a recreational space for the agricultural area on the eastern
side of the site.

Site Plan
Önal House is located on a gently sloping hill, affording panoramic views of
the surrounding meadow. Its architectural design is characterized by a
prioritization of both privacy and functionality, as evidenced by the deliberate
separation of the living and sleeping areas into two distinct volumes.
Acting as a connector between the two volumes, the circulation mass not only
fulfills utilitarian requirements such as accommodating storage and
circulation elements, but also generates a dynamic architectural expression
and spatial configuration.This structure acts as an intermediate area linking
the living and sleeping sections of the villa, while also ensuring that the
sleeping quarters remain secluded and private.
Aside from its functional significance, the circulation mass also creates
opportunities for two terraces, each with its unique character and purpose.
The southern terrace, featuring a swimming pool, offers views of the meadow,
while the northern terrace, nestled within the wild landscape of the hill,
provides a serene outdoor sitting area.

limnili house
Built
=Designed as NUMA=
Residential
Area : 138 m 2
Year : 2020
Location : Izmir/Old Foça, Turkey
0 10 20 50 100m
Site Plan
Limnili House emphasizes the relationship between the building and its
natural surroundings. The villa is situated in Foça, a location where summers
can be disturbingly hot, making it crucial to create a design that prioritizes
cooling and natural ventilation. The southern facade of the villa faces a view
of fields, and the design takes full advantage of this view by situating the living
areas and kitchen on an elevated platform on the southern side.
This elevation not only allows for panoramic views but also acts as a sound
barrier from the road on the front facade, ensuring that the bedrooms
remain peaceful and restful.
The segregation of the living and sleeping areas into northern and southern
zones is another key aspect of the design. The northern-facing bedrooms
avoid direct sunlight, which helps them stay cooler, a critical aspect of the
design in Foça's hot climate. The circulation path between the front facade
and the back of the building provides a natural ventilation pathway that
helps regulate the temperature throughout the villa. The entrance and
outdoor living area are perpendicular to the circulation corridor, creating
an optimal flow of movement within the villa. The volume of the house is
instrumentally carved to maximize natural daylight and create different
outdoor living areas that can be used at different times of the day, depending
on the position of the sun and the wind path.

palamutbuku house
Under Construction
=Designed as NUMA=
Residential
Area : 225 m 2
Year : 2021
Location : Datça/Palamutbükü, Turkey
0 10 20 50m
Site Plan
Palamutbükü House is situated on a sloped hill with a panoramic view of the sea.
The design of the villa takes full advantage of the site's topography, utilizing the
slope to create a secluded courtyard in the backyard that is physically protected
from the harsh north winds. The courtyard provides a tranquil and private outdoor
space that is shielded from the external elements.
The integration of the courtyard with the inner living area and the front terrace is
achieved through a foldable floor-to-ceiling window system. The system not only
enhances natural ventilation but also provides the flexibility to open up the living
space to the outdoor areas, creating a seamless transition between indoor and
outdoor spaces. This integration is further emphasized by the use of natural
materials such as stone and wood, which bring warmth and texture to the interior
spaces.
The villa comprises three bedrooms, two of which are situated on the first floor with
a sea view, while the third is located on the ground floor next to the courtyard,
offering a more secluded and peaceful atmosphere. The view of the courtyard's
landscaping further enhances the serene ambiance of this bedroom.
The design takes into consideration the climatic conditions of the region, with the
integration of shading devices and a passive cooling system to minimize energy
consumption. The strategic placement of the villa on the slope provides natural
shade, reducing the need for artificial shading devices.
By integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, and connection to the site, design aims
to create a harmonious living experience that embraces the natural beauty of the
surrounding environment.

Site Plan
The replacement project for a family house near the seaside was confronted with several design
challenges. The site's location and the neighboring three-story house obstructed the sea view from the
front and back facades, restricting the opportunity to take full advantage of the beautiful views.
Additionally, the limited space availability posed a significant challenge in designing a spacious family
house that would meet the client's requirements while adhering to the building regulations.
To overcome these challenges, the final design proposed an open interior layout to establish a visual
connection between spaces and create a comprehensive spatial experience that compensates for the
limited space design could offer. The open layout maximizes the use of space and provides a sense of
continuity between the different spaces, creating a seamless flow and enhancing the overall
functionality of the house.
A-A’ Section
To complement the open layout, a visually simple material palette was utilized to enhance the Aegean
aesthetic of the house, highlighting it among the neighboring heavily ornamented and complicated
buildings. The minimalist palette comprised of natural materials such as wood and plaster, creating a
harmonious and tranquil environment that the region requires.

Year : 2015
Location : New York City, USA
situation:
1
The gridal layout of New York City allows for
continuous transformation, as it lacks distinct
geographical boundaries between its regions.
Locally, this results in a perceived lack of a
cohesive identity. However, this also means that
the city is a dynamic amalgamation of
constantly evolving components, which defines
the essence of its culture and its inhabitants.
2
Although NYC’s layout seems uniform, the
significance and density of its regions are
influenced by various factors, including the
cultural and economic backgrounds of its
residents and the policies implemented by the
local government. As a result, certain areas may
become more vibrant and densely populated
than others. The addition of a subway station to
the area near a bustling hub has accelerated
gentrification initiated by the Highline.
3
The perpetual nature of transformation in New
York City is an inherent part of its identity, as
performance is a continuous process that never
truly concludes.
4
The transformation of a city has a profound
impact on its artistic community. Artists often
find themselves at the forefront of gentrification
in a new area, only to be displaced as the
neighborhood becomes more affluent. This cycle
of settling and then migrating to another part of
the city leaves artists and creatives struggling to
keep up. In an ever-changing metropolis, those
with financial power are the only ones who can
maintain a permanent foothold.

5
Community centers in the city are dispersed
throughout various neighborhoods, offering
citizens a platform to discuss local concerns.
However, any changes that occur locally can
have a ripple effect on the city as a whole. In
order to hold elected officials accountable and
have a greater impact on decision-making,
people require a foundation for addressing both
local and city-wide issues.

“..these “public spheres”, as they have been called, are sites in civil society where all who are governed can
participate in free and open discussions aimed at assessing the legitimacy (or illegitimacy) of the powers to which
they are subject to. Through informal public communication in the press and other media, those who are governed
must be able to scrutinize alternative policy proposals, while also clarifying their own interests and needs. Ideally,
the result should be a body of “public opinion” that is normatively legitimate - because it is arrived at through an
open, unrestricted, inclusive and fair process-. Ideally, too, public opinion should be prctically be able to influence or
constrain administrative power. Put differently public opinion formed in public spheres should be transformed into
public will.”
“Public dialogue ensures that governmental organisations and elected representatives are answerable throughout
their tenure and not just during election period, turning urban development into a dynamic, vibrant and sustainable

Proposal:
The infrastructure of New York City is primarily comprised of a network of
roads and sidewalks, which serve as the foundation for socio-cultural
production. These bustling thoroughfares generate a "power of the gaze"
which objectifies individuals and facilitates a cultural exchange of identity and
ideas, shaping the evolution of New York and its inhabitants. Art plays a role
in this exchange as an accelerator, drawing inspiration from the city and its
people and providing a prefigurative experience that helps to normalize the
unfamiliar.
For a sociocultural center to be truly deserving of its title, it must not only facilitate
social and cultural interaction but also provide a means for individuals to impact the
larger city, which plays a critical role in shaping sociocultural dynamics. The goal is
to transform people from being passive objects of the sociocultural process to active
participants who have agency. Decisions made by elected officials, rather than the
people, can significantly alter the demographic and economic identity of the city and
ultimately impact its sociocultural fabric. As such, the people of New York require a
tool that empowers them to participate in the city's transformation and hold their
representatives accountable for their actions.
Therefore, the project is centered around three key elements: the sidewalk, art, and
people's engagement in decision-making.
_Sidewalk:
The pedestrian walkways serve as the primary link for people to access the project.
It is through their presence and engagement that the area becomes vibrant and
diverse, featuring commercial, artistic, entertainment, and democratic programming.
W34th’s design, which is based on a network of walkways connecting different levels
and areas, ensures its seamless integration with the city. Rather than being isolated,
the project becomes an extension of the larger urban fabric.
_Art (Hub):
Artists are significantly impacted by processes like gentrification, as those who strive
to create independent of art galleries may be pushed out of the city center due to
high prices. This leaves the central area to be dominated by the art of the privileged,
and reduces art to a mere form of entertainment rather than a vital tool for
changing mindsets. The Art Hub seeks to make art more accessible to the public,
featuring affordable atelier modules that can be combined to suit each artist's needs.
In addition to ateliers, the space offers exhibition areas, opportunities for
conversation with fellow artists and passersby, and workshops. The Art Hub is
strategically located in close proximity to established pedestrian and vehicular axes.

Site Plan

“The Pnyx (/nɪks, pəˈnɪks/; Ancient Greek: Πνύξ; Modern Greek: Πνύκα, Pnyka) is a hill in central
Athens, the capital of Greece. Beginning as early as 507 BC, the Athenians gathered on the Pnyx to host
their popular assemblies, thus making the hill one of the earliest and most important sites in the creation
of democracy.
The Pnyx was used for popular assemblies in Athens as early as 507 BC, when the reforms of Cleisthenes
transferred political power to the citizenry.
Site is a small, rocky hill surrounded by parkland, with a large flat platform of eroded stone set into its
side, and by steps carved on its slope. It was the meeting place of one of the world's earliest known
democratic legislatures, the Athenian ekklesia (assembly), and the flat stone platform was the bema, the
"stepping stone" or speakers' platform. As such, the Pnyx is the material embodiment of the principle of
isēgoría (Greek: ἰσηγορία), "equal speech", i.e. the equal right of every citizen to debate matt ers of
policy. The other two principles of democracy were isonomía (Greek: ἰσονομία), equality under the law,
and isopoliteía (Greek: ἰσοπολιτεία), equality of vote and equal opportunity to assume political office.
The right of isēgoría was expressed by the presiding officer of the Pnyx assembly, who formally opened
each debate with the open invitation "Tís agoreúein boúletai?" (Greek: "Τίς ἀγορεύειν βούλεται;", "Who
wishes to speak?").”[Wikipedia]

on local issues. However, in a city like New York, local
issues can have a broader impact. Therefore, it's
important to have a larger parliament-style forum,
similar to Pnyx, where both local and city-wide concerns
can be discussed. The decisions made in this forum can
be enforced by forming a common opinion. However,
hosting large meetings in today's cities is not practical.
To overcome this, live streaming applications can be
used to extend the reach of the conversations.
The parliament is designed to promote a sense of
equality among attendees, eliminating any visual
hierarchy that may exist. The focus is on the power of
words and free speech rather than on individuals,
resulting in a design that emphasizes sound. The seating
arrangement is designed to create a sense of connection
and collaboration between participants by placing seats
at different levels, blocking direct visual connection,
and encouraging partially-anonymous communication
through the use of reflective surfaces.

Although the impact of industrialization on childhood and the child's relationship with nature
is often overlooked compared to other affected concepts, it is nonetheless significant.
Industrialization redefined the concepts of urbanity, life, consumption, and the relationship with
nature, transforming the child and their future. As children develop, they internalize
socialization, cooperation, and value practices that will shape their future behaviors.
However, the context and conditions in which they grow up can also limit their practices and
future conditions, indirectly affecting their environment and life. The changing social identity,
education system, and developing technologies have led to a decreased opportunity for
children to engage in active play, socialization, and contact with nature, hindering their ability
to develop environmental concerns and sensitivities.
In the current age, where the environmental effects of industrialization are of utmost importance,
Expo Tower'16 is an intervention that aims to transform our social values and acceptances.
The Ferris wheel, which is a symbol from the beginning of the industrialization process,
has been transformed to signal a new era as it represents the transformation of industrial
society and serves as a nod to the historic Chicago Expo in 1893, which showcased the power
of steel and the ambitions of industrialization. Expo Tower, as a symbolic building in a
horticultural expo, sets up a new goal: harmony.

The Ferris wheel, an iconic feature of the Expo
Tower'16 project, provides a unique form of
vertical circulation that enables visitors to
experience the tower in a novel way.
In addition to offering a view of the expo area,
visitors have the opportunity to disembark at
the vista platform, where they can access
various amenities such as the cafeteria.
By promoting social interaction and facilitating a
range of activities, the tower's design aims to
foster curiosity and serve region's youth long
after the expo concludes. The tower's platform
configuration also allows for flexible
programming and can be repurposed to
accommodate a range of events and activities.
Overall, the Expo Tower'16 project embodies a
commitment to design innovation and
community engagement, with a focus on
environmental sensitivity. Through its
incorporation of unique features, the tower
offers a dynamic and engaging experience that
reflects the values of the Expo and serves as a
source of inspiration for future architectural
endeavors.

The EuroVelo 6 is a cycling route that meanders through
European rivers and major cities like Belgrade, Budapest, and
Vienna. However, the true essence of the route lies in the
journey itself, rather than the destinations. By the nature of
the cycling, route is intermingled with a long lost type of
travelling; a slow one; which evokes a long-lost sense of
exploration that allows cyclists to fully experience the journey.
Inspiration:
Advancements in transportation have made traveling faster
and more convenient, but it has also changed the meaning of
"the journey" from an experience to simply reaching a
destination. However, in the past, travelers had to endure long
journeys and stop at inns between major settlements for rest.
In the approximate 2000 years from Roman times to
industrialization, that was not the case; travelers had to
endure being on the road and therefore required resting
between major settlements. Inns hosted travelers, pilgrims
and traders during these times of a slower pace. Being an
accomodative unit along EuroVelo6, inn'6 takes its inspiration
from the European inn typology.
Modularity:
The design of Inn'6 employs a modular approach on a
component scale. This approach enables the modularity of
the system and interchangability of the components, thus
making transportation, construction, and repair works much
easier. The addition of components to the existing structure
allows Inn'6 to evolve and modify the system according to the
needs of users along the EuroVelo 6 route. This feature of
Inn'6 ensures flexibility and adaptability in meeting the
diverse needs of the users, while also enhancing the longevity
and sustainability of the overall design.

Abandonment is the epitome of urban change, it creates a stronger
dichotomy than any other phenomenon in the urban context: then
and now. By definition, abandonment obliges a past habitation, an
abandoned place derives its meaning, not from desolation, nor the
past nor the present but the change it has gone through. Though it
is the "change" that gives meaning to Craco, it is sadly also
"change" that steals back that meaning. In its decaying situation,
Craco is losing its physical relation to its past day by day, thus it is
reduced in meaning. Perceiving change requires a constant to hold
a comparison. "Genius Loci" reestablishes the lost conceptual
framework in two different scales.
_Urban Scale:
Project aims to establish a strong connection between the historical
context of old Craco and its contemporary urban fabric. To
achieve this goal, walkways and gathering areas are strategically
placed in harmony with the existing traces and functions of the old
town. Newly added platforms and volumes are introduced to the
site, allowing visitors to experience the urban sequence as it once
was, but in a new abandoned context. The proposed juxtaposition
of old and new elements creates a dynamic environment that
provides a solid basis for perceptual engagement, inviting visitors to
contemplate the evolution of the site over time.
_Structural Scale:
The decline of structural elements is seen as a direct cause of the
decline in the spatial unity of buildings. As spatial configurations are
closely related to the functions they serve, structural decay leads to
a decline in the perception of space. To counteract this, the proposal
positions new structures to substitute the lost parts of the buildings
and redefine space as part of a new function. In line with the
strategy of the urban context, the "Genius Loci" concept utilizes the
conjunction of old and new elements to ignite a thought process. As
change is the primary actor in this town, the proposal conceptually
bases itself on the ultimate constant: change.

Elsensteg Bridge house
Residential / Experimental
Area : 40 m 2
Year : 2022
Location : Berlin, Germany
E.B.H*
The Elsensteg Bridge House takes inspiration from the
Brückenbunker Installation and is designed to occupy the
structural gaps of Elsensteg Bridge. By utilizing the available
volumes created by the pragmatic needs of the bridge, such as
the space beneath the bridge or the spaces between the
pillars, house nests itself right inside the public infrastructure.
The design explores the intersection between private and
public spaces, with a focus on achieving a harmonious balance
between the two.
