Berfu Alanlı

Berfu Alanlı serves as Dean overseeing Architecture, Textile & Fashion Design, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture & Environmental Design, and Visual Communication Design disciplines. Her leadership integrates creative practice with academic administration, emphasizing narrative-driven design solutions across multiple studios.

Her research explores conceptual design methodologies where physical spaces embody psychological narratives. A signature project involved authoring a film script and designing its central house set—a symbolic fusion of old/new textures representing unresolved past traumas. This work demonstrates her interdisciplinary approach bridging architecture, film, and emotional storytelling through material juxtaposition.

Berfu Alanlı actively mentors emerging designers, with documented advisees from 2020 including:

• Handan Öztürk
• Emine Buse Yüksel
• Dilara Durur
• Pınar Bulut
• Irmak Dağlıer
• İrem Kavlak
• Buket Saylam
• Sıla Uçun
• Sevginur Ursavaş
• Oğul Görgülü

Her creative direction shapes institutional projects where design confronts historical continuity, though formal academic publications remain undocumented in available sources.
