Senior At Hisar School, Aspiring Architect

Hi, my name is Ela, and I am currently a senior at Hisar School in Istanbul, Turkey, aspiring to become an architect. I am interested in exploring architecture through the lens of human-centered spaces and ethical responsibility. This understanding drives my passion to create social impact with architecture through STEM projects and human rights activities.

My Areas of Interest and Goals

My Career Goals

My career goal is to work at the intersection of architecture and human rights, treating architecture as a combination of arts, form and public service.

My areas of Interest

Throughout my High School journey, I have explored various areas of interest. As I experimented with arts and connected with my heritage, I began thinking more about ethical responsibility. Additionally, I strived to help communities through combining this experimentation with architecture, ethics, and human rights. With this in mind, I initiated and contributed to projects that assist underserved communities, such as Science in a Box and Organized Arts workshops. I also worked to support my school community by bringing the same approaches to panels with prominent philosophers, publishing gazettes, and initiating women's rights activities.
