Our interns

Ozge is a PhD student investigating the relationship between high-tech agriculture and Mediterranean cities, with a special emphasis on climate change, labour, and migration. Influenced by her background with the Yuruks, a Turkish semi-nomadic group, Ozge's heritage enables her to critically examine contemporary farming practices within the broader context of the global food supply chain. Before her doctoral studies, she served as an adjunct lecturer and practising architect in Turkey, where she was committed to designing public spaces and buildings in culturally and environmentally sensitive contexts. Her architectural projects, underpinned by the conviction that power dynamics are deeply embedded in spatial design—from national museums to places of worship and educational institutions—have shaped her pursuit of socio-environmentally equitable "making" practices. Ozge values the transformative potential of narratives to alter perceptions of space and power and pursues representation and storytelling as essential tools for public engagement.
