Elif TURKEL serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Interior Architecture at Beykent University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture since 2020, having previously held a Research Assistant position there in 2019.
Her academic qualifications include:
- Doctorate from Yildiz Technical University, Institute of Science (2019)
- Degree from Istanbul Technical University, Institute of Science (2017)
- Licence from Yeditepe University, Faculty of Engineering (2014)
Her research centers on the conservation and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage, particularly gasometer structures, bridging architectural history with contemporary interior design. Her doctoral thesis analyzed European gasometer evolution in steel construction contexts and proposed functional adaptations for Istanbul's Dolmabahçe site, reflecting her expertise in sustainable re-functioning of historic structures.
Her 2019 publication in Tuba KED establishes her specialization in industrial heritage transformation, examining historical gasometer typologies and innovative reuse strategies for urban regeneration projects.
She maintains an active teaching portfolio through 2023-2024 covering core interior architecture disciplines including Design Studio sequences (I-V), Environmental Psychology, Interior Ergonomics, and emerging fields like Smart Indoor Systems, demonstrating both foundational expertise and engagement with technological advancements in the discipline.
