About
Volkan received his B.Arch. in Architecture and MA in History of Architecture at the Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey). His MA thesis essentially focused on assessing the role of the architectural language of the imperial cult and imagery in the transformation of the urban spaces in Roman Ephesus, which employed a kinesthetic method that incorporates the dynamics of space and movement. He has participated in several archaeological projects in Turkey: in Ephesus, Teos, Lagina Hecate Sanctuary, Ayasuluk and Notion. Volkan is interested in cultural encounters, landscape and urban studies, and the dynamic relationship between identity and the built environment.
