Neslihan KARALÖK studied a Bachelor of Architecture at Istanbul Technical University [ITU] in Türkiye, followed by a Master’s degree in Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors at Politecnico di Milano [POLIMI] in Italy. In her thesis, she focused on ‘Neuroscience Applied to Architecture’, exploring how the built environment affects human health through psychology.

 

She believes that architecture has the power to heal human health both physiologically and psychologically. Creating strong concepts rooted in user experience,  shaping them  through context,  and connecting them with mental health constitute the main pillars of her architectural perspective. In line with this holistic approach, she has also earned the LEED Green Associate credential, emphasizing her dedication to sustainable and healthy built environments.

​

Besides being an architect, she is also a writer who enjoys expressing herself through words. Recently, she has developed a deep interested in cinema and aims to reconcile it with architecture.
