Architect
When I began studying architecture, one of my favorite aspects of the field was its multidisciplinary nature. An architect must have insights into various lifestyles and diverse types of people. It is crucial to understand both individuals and their environments comprehensively. During my high school years, I developed a keen interest in body language. Observing how people respond to external stimuli and their non-verbal communication not only helped me understand them better but also laid the foundation for my ability to read people. I learned how and what to observe, and I can say that I have always had a natural inclination towards observing people and life.
Beyond architecture, my interest in philosophy and sociology has significantly enhanced my ability to communicate with people and my comfort within the field of architecture. I spent a year as a member of the human resources team in our university's design society, where I contributed to the selection of assistants and the organization of the team. Additionally, in 2023, I had the opportunity to participate in an Erasmus program at Technische Universität Dortmund for six months. This period was one of the most significant in my life. I had the chance to get to know different people, cities, and cultures. Most importantly, I discovered new things about myself.
Throughout my academic career, I have engaged intensively in a variety of courses and projects to build a strong foundation in architecture. The education I have received has developed not only my architectural knowledge but also my skills in project management, teamwork, and creative problem-solving.During my internships, I had the opportunity to apply my theoretical knowledge in real-world settings by participating in significant projects. Working on these projects allowed me to stay abreast of current industry developments and continuously improve my design skills.
In the future, I aspire to further develop myself in the field of architecture, engage in diverse projects, and make a positive contribution to the quality of life in society.
