Aslı ZENCİRKIRAN serves as a Researcher at Trakya University's Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture, a position she assumed in 2021 following her doctoral graduation. Her academic foundation includes a Doctoral Degree in Architecture (2021), Master's Degree (2016), and Bachelor's Degree (2011), all completed within Turkish institutions.
Educational background:
- Doctoral Degree in Architecture, Trakya University Institute of Science (2021; Thesis: Examination of tourism potential of Enez-Tekirdağ coastline)
- Master's Degree in Architecture (2016; Thesis: Karaağaç Station Complex in 19th Century Architecture)
- Bachelor's Degree (2011)
- High School Diploma (2000)
Her research integrates Architectural History, Urban Planning, and Sustainable Architecture with regional specificity on Edirne, Turkey. Key investigations include historical analyses of Kemalettin Bey's architectural works, spatial organization using space syntax methodology, border-city student experiences, and pandemic impacts on social housing. She examines tourism potential in coastal regions and temporary urbanism through systematic literature reviews, emphasizing the interplay between historical context and contemporary urban challenges.
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a dual focus on historical architectural analysis and urgent urban issues. Her work on Edirne's Train Station Campus and Vakif Han demonstrates methodological rigor in space syntax applications, while studies on border-city student life and pandemic-era housing satisfaction address socio-spatial dynamics. The systematic review of temporary urbanism (2010-2024) identifies critical gaps in typological research, and eco-development case studies at Trakya University bridge ecological theory with campus planning practice.
