Commissioner:

Private comissions

Industrial design is a result of my expertise

in parametric design and rapid prototyping. I own
my 3-in-1 maker (3dprinting, CNC, and laser), and I

products and prototypes.
Project:

Jewelry Design, 2012. -

Commissioner:

Private commisions

Rings are a unique design topic because

they are all about beauty. Designing rings is my
space for relaxation, for devotion only to beauty.
Each of the rings is parametrically designed and
has its formula. Creating rings for me is exploring
the aesthetics explicitly in the eld of geometry.
Project:

Endless Maze,
Android game produced in Unity
Commissioner:

Private collaborative project

with a junior programmer

Endless Maze is an Android game where the

whole gaming component is based on architecture
of the labyrinth. It is Endless because the maze is
huge (30,000 square meters) and composed from
three big zones. There are no dead ends and the
circulation is freely allowed. This means that it will
be harder for players to nd the exit and the
gaming experience is smoother. At the start of the
game a player has 3 stones which he can place
along the way in order to mark the places where he
had been already.

Project:

Guerilla archeology
Commissioner:

Part of PhD research done in Novi Pazar

*PhD dissertation:
“Insecurity. Architecture. Architect”
Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul
Architectural Design Issues Program
Mentor: Prof. dr. Emel Ardaman

During illegal construction works in the

center of Novi Pazar, I was actively protecting
public building heritage (Roman, Ottoman) which
emerged during excavations. I was present every
day on the site and confronted several issues in
order to record archeological remainings on the
site. No official was present to control the works
and eventual archeological evidence. Because the
works were moving fast the only chance to protect
the rich historical evidence was to react now, on
the site.
