Res. Asst. Nilsu ALTUNOK

I was born in 1998 in Ankara, Türkiye. I completed my high school education at TED Ankara College Scholar Development Program in 2016. After high school, I moved to Istanbul and started my bachelor's degree education. I am an architect and have worked as a research assistant in the Department of Architecture at Yıldız Technical University since 2021. I graduated from Yıldız Technical University, Department of Architecture, where I studied as valedictorian between 2016 and 2020. I completed my Architectural Design master’s education in 2023 at Istanbul Technical University. My master's degree was funded by my country's scientific research support organisation (TUBITAK). In my master’s research, I mainly focused on architectural theory in the axis of critical theory, post-structuralist feminist theories, and architectural representation possibilities. 

My work has been presented and exhibited internationally in invited talks, curated exhibitions, and conferences, including the 19th Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale, Architecture Fringe 2025 Festival, Good Design İzmir_9 Exhibition and Posthuman Symbioses Masterclass: A Thinking with Donna Haraway and Rosi Braidotti at TU Delft Faculty of Architecture. My research has been published in a few journals, including the Journal of Architectural Education. As a native Turkish speaker, I am multilingual and speak English (advanced level), German (intermediate level) and Spanish (beginner).
