Landscape Architect · Computational Designer
Istanbul, Turkey

A practice positioned between the analog discipline of landscape architecture and the generative methods of computational design.

Trained at Istanbul Technical University with a B.Sc. in Landscape Architecture, completed Summa Cum Laude. Currently in the final year of an M.Sc. in Architectural Design Computing at ITU (3.47 GPA), working at the intersection of urban ecology, historic landscape systems, and digital fabrication. A researcher at the ITU Virtual Landscape Lab since 2021, and a workshop instructor and invited lecturer at the university on 3D modelling, visual representation and urban hydrology.

Landscape architect at the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality since 2022, in the Parks and Green Spaces Directorate, working on large-scale urban and public-space projects — including a year on Lund University's CIPSS programme for sustainable, inclusive public space, representing the municipality. Before that, an Istanbul urban design office (concept design, 3D modelling and visualization) and two years of internships across the municipality's project and innovation units. The practice now spans historic park restoration and urban plaza design through parametric workflows, immersive visualization, GIS analysis, drone photogrammetry, and AR spatial experiences.

A parallel track in motorsport: four-time Türkiye Karting Champion, former Borusan Otomotiv Motorsport E-Sport driver, and — since completing Applied Sport Psychology · Mental Skills training in 2025 — coach of a small driver development programme.
