COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:

As a member of research Group for Solidarity in Architecture I have been organizing the We All Need a Home project at our university since 2016. The purpose of this program is to raise awareness among students and city residents about serious social problems such as homelessness. One of the most important goals of the events involving volunteers, students and the homeless is to create a generation of architects who are sensitive and receptive to solidarity in architecture.

Architecture students participating in the Community, Space, Settlement project have a great opportunity to work together with community organizing students. During community planning and construction in small villages, the most important role of the architectural plans created together with local residents is the strengthening of local communities.
