BEYZA CENNET BATIR — HTGAA Spring 2026
Merhaba!
My name is Beyza, I am from Izmir, Turkey. I work as a Research Assistant at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design at Izmir University of Economics, and I am also a Teaching Assistant for “Design Studio III, Design Studio IV, and Architectural Intelligence: Architectural Artificial Intelligence” courses.
I am a PhD candidate in the Design Studies program, and my research generally focuses on “epistemic collaboration and semantics established with artificial intelligence in design”. I completed my master’s thesis on “The use of fractal forms in the process of creating a new reality” at the Dokuz Eylül University Institute of Fine Arts.
I believe that nature is the universal language of design, and I have a special interest in self-repeating natural forms to understand this model. I often think about the evolution of creativity across different environments and disciplines. As a designer, I am excited by the possibility of creative expression being a common meeting point for every discipline and the nurturing environment that arises from this collaboration, and I am very happy to be here. Let’s stay connected! 👾
