Architectural Design Studios
Diploma, capstone, and graduate studios at Çukurova, Selçuk, Konya Technical, and Abdullah Gül—where design is treated as hypothesis.
Teaching & Studio
Studio as Research
Nearly three decades of design studio teaching—presented through pedagogical themes, not a course catalogue.
For nearly thirty years, the design studio has been my primary research instrument. We treat every project as a hypothesis—prioritizing the process of creating difference over the comfort of established norms. From diploma studios at Çukurova to cinema-and-architecture seminars at Lund and Politecnico, teaching is never separate from research.
