Workspace that creates the bridge between academia and the industry

As a student, getting together with professional people has always been a guide for us as we progress on the career ladder. We have seen the benefits of communicating with one-on-one conversations and sharing. Sometimes we listened to inspiring journeys. Our aim is to come together by creating an education-based vision and to provide opportunities for people. In this sense, Istanbul is a metropolitan city that students choose most when stepping into their careers. Education and job opportunities are here. They come here from rural areas to find opportunities for education and business life. Many work outside of their field in the service industry to earn money due to economic problems. Our aim is to turn the online education and business communication method, which has become widespread due to the pandemic, to normal face-to-face communication. It was aimed to reset the current working space understanding, to establish free and flexible spaces that allow everyone to be together, and to approach nature. Our biggest goal is to create entrepreneurship, career incentives, education and sharing economy. To create a community that makes a socioeconomic contribution. It is creating career and job opportunities for people and solving both education and economic problems.

This is an adaptive reuse project. In Haydarpaşa, we give a new function to the old warehouse. This structure, which has high communication with the coast and its surroundings, includes the processes of learning, discussing and sharing information. It communicates with the user starting from the coastline. Collaborator creates a working and career environment that will bring students and professionals together. During the design process, I solve the spaces that offer individual and common spaces to people in a holistic way. The design as a whole; it aims to both unify and create individual spaces. So I created the same design language. Bottom of a floor that flows with steps could create different atmospheres, and the top would provide opportunities for different spaces. Different spaces are a continuation of each other and in relation to each other.

Open offices emphasise sharing in student and professional collaboration. This could be an experience, knowledge, project management process or mentoring. As a result, both people benefit. Plants between open offices are used as a divider, reducing the stress level with its appearance and pleasant smell in the environment. Co-working space is suitable for group work to develop an idea and present it. This flexible space manages the process of working, gathering and taking action. It is aimed for users to freely express their ideas in this place where a common learning process is experienced, where an entrepreneurial idea meets the investor. In this flexible space, bold colours that inspire free thinking are used. This space represents a collective movement that encourages us to take a breather and start over. Another way to come together is through learning and arguing. Inspiration is essential in the process of acquiring knowledge and developing ideas. organisation and discussion activities to take place. Inspired by the concepts of learning and discussion, these spaces create an inviting and friendly atmosphere with wooden materials. Interior gardens created for rest and re-revitalization. We need more inspiring spaces in our daily work that will lead us to start over. We feel the positive effects of nature on our health. The light of the sun, the sound of leaves swaying in the wind, the fragrance of fresh flowers; Everything in nature stimulates all our senses.

When all the spaces come together, they create harmony. They are in a flow, they exist with each other. The 

the appearance of the interior from the outside emphasises the togetherness and opportunities found here. The biggest and most radical changes are achieved through education-based vision. Education inspires the lives of the disadvantaged through the influence of the Collaborator, who leads and guides them by providing opportunities. When all places come together, they take us on a step-by-step career journey and enable us to design the future. nature-inspired colours and textures and offer living spaces that will renew us and create our future. people become conscious of what kind of transformation should go through and they are starting to shape their environment.
