After completing my BArch and MSci degrees at the Department of Architecture at Istanbul Technical University, I have gained my PhD degree at the Bartlett School of Achitecture, University College London, with a thesis titled ‘Unfixing Place: A Study of Istanbul through Topographical Practices’. I have participated in collaborative design work, some of which are: wallpaperwall in Berlin, Sussex in Bloomsbury in London, Not Just White in Belo Horizonte. I organised workshops, seminars, and conferences, some of which are: Air&Architectonics Student Competition and Workshop in Amasya and Creative Research Conference at University College London. I currently work as a design and theory tutor at the Department of Architecture at Istanbul Technical University (www.s-e-y-y-a-r.blogspot.com, www.pazar-yer-i.blogspot.com ) My research interests include urban representations, spatial practices, theories of travel and performance theories. My current practice involves mapping travels in order to explore ways of personal engagement with place.
