About

Trained as an architect, I am a passionately dedicated and accomplished scholar with Ph.D. in architecture. My responsive and problem-centered scientific research projects aim to explore game changing findings in my expertise fields. My current scholarly (research) focal points and deep concerns are climate justice and public health with a holistic perspective and at the intersection of the social and material contexts of architecture design “practice”, interior design and their (recent) intertwined his/herstories. Prior this, with academic sponsorship by  the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture Program for two years, I studied on intersectional feminism, intertwined history of architecture, and politics of gender in multicultural postwar U.S. architecture:  With my scientific findings, I am “the first” scholar to uncover the beginning of co-education at the Princeton University – School of Architecture (under Dean Robert Geddes‘ academic leadership, at the graduate level, Class of 1970 and 1971), and “the first” scholar to uncover career herstory of pioneering Turkish and Turkish-American women architects in multicultural postwar U.S. architecture; after my Ph.D. in architecture. As a speaker, panelist, moderator, I was invited by the MIT-HTC, the MIT-WGS, the MIT-Women League, the MIT-Media in Transition International Conferences (5 & 6), the MIT-WikiConference North America, the Harvard University-GSD, the 53rd Middle East Studies Association-Annual Meeting, the Society of American Archivists-Research Forum, CUNY, Boston University, the Society of Architectural Historians-Annual and International Conferences (2023 and 2018), International Women in Architecture Symposium at Virginia Tech., “Women Who Design”, the AIA-Silicon Valley, Emerson College, etc. Following my productive research process at MIT, I am currently developing my book project. I am also the curator for a digital collection on women architects at the MIT-Archnet. According to the MIT-Archnet’s published news, this is the largest of several additions to their Women in Architecture Collection. (in 2016). (1).

My most recent (systematic) research project investigates diverse and inclusive historical documentation practice at pioneering schools of architecture in the U.S., such as at MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. My interview on this systematic research project was published by “the Society of American Archivists (SAA)”, ArchivesAware!, Awareness and Outreach Resources for Archivists in 2020. In May 2021, I also moderated and co-organized an online panel on inclusive and diverse historical documentation “practice” and “methods” on women architects. (Panelists: Mary Norman Woods, Professor Emerita at Cornell University, Department of Architecture, the first woman tenured in Cornell’s architecture department, founded in 1871; Heather Isbell Schumacher, Archivist, University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design, Architectural Archives; Jessica Quagliaroli, Architecture Records Archivist at the Yale University Library, Manuscripts, and Archives; Maristella Casciato, the Senior Curator of the Architecture Collections at the Getty Research Institute in California.).

I am an awardee of a fellowship by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH), a guest editor of SAHARA (January 2023), and a Research Committee member of the SAH – Historic Interiors Affiliate Group. In this SAH Affiliate Group – Research Committee, my focal point is (inclusive and diverse) historical documentation (practice and methods) on historic interiors (with some post-pandemic concerns, such as climate, public health, etc.).  As the Research Committee, we organized an online panel, “Flow: At the Intersection of Archives and Historic Interiors”. (Panelists/ archivists: Mari Nakahara, the Library of Congress; Esther -aka Mimi- Schmidt, the Centre for Historic Houses in India; Monika Platzer, the Architekturzentrum Wien; moderator: Paola Ardizzola, Research Committee member, HIG-SAH & lecturer at Cardiff Met University.) in May 2023. With my published “817” architectural and interior photographs, I am a contributor of “SAH Archipedia”, authoritative online encyclopedia of the U.S. built environment organized by the Society of Architectural Historians and the University of Virginia Press; and “SAHARA”, a digital image archive developed by the Society of Architectural Historians in collaboration with Artstor and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. To support and promote inclusive and diverse mindset in global architecture (his/herstory), I was selected and served as a nominator for the Aga Khan Awards for Architecture. As a certificate holder by “Consortium for Graduate Studies, Gender, Culture, Women & Sexuality (GCWS)” hosted by MIT, I am also a peer reviewer of the PLAN Journal (TPJ) on research, studies and criticism in architecture and urbanism.

As a special Turkish fellow, I began my Ph.D. dissertation research at the Harvard University, Aga Khan History of Art and Architecture, Ph.D. Program, and continued it at the Columbia University, Graduate School of Planning and Preservation, Ph.D. Program as a research scholar. Based on my dissertation research at Harvard and Columbia universities (in particular with scientific research support by Professor Kenneth Frampton), I completed “the first” Ph.D. dissertation on historical and theoretical analysis of practice conducted by Tekeli-Sisa Architecture (Istanbul, 1954-present) with a specific research problem on design architect – (diverse) large scale client  relations in the private sector, and obtained my Ph.D. in Architecture at the Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Architecture.

As the general publishing coordinator, I published “19” architectural monographs: Most of them are accessible at architecture libraries of MIT, Harvard, Columbia universities, and “Bernard Tschumi” (the first monograph of this series) has taken its place in Swiss Collections, a gateway to historical and modern collections in Swiss libraries and archives as well. (Bibliographic code: bbg08).

As a licensed architect in Türkiye, I have pursued my professional, accomplished and effective (client-oriented) design practice with my highly responsive teaching and productive publishing practice in architecture. With my graduation project in architecture, I am an award candidate at the 5th National Architecture Awards by the Chamber of Architects of Türkiye.

I am also a graduate of Erenkoy Girls High School (with honors) in Istanbul: Leman Tomsu and Munevver Belen, the first two women architects of Türkiye (1934) were graduated from the same high school (1929), and it is one of the oldest surviving high schools with its high standards and exemplary tradition on education in the country. (1911-present).
