معرفی
Merve Uskan Demir serves as a Researcher at Gaziantep University's Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture, holding this position continuously since 2018. Her academic profile centers on architectural theory, design innovation, and evidence-based spatial analysis with specialized focus on neurodiverse populations.
Her educational trajectory demonstrates progressive specialization:
- Doctorate in Architectural Design (2020-2025, expected) from Yildiz Technical University
- Master's in Architecture with Thesis (2017-2020) from Çukurova University
- Bachelor's in Architecture (2011-2016) from Gaziantep University
Her research integrates architectural theory with practical applications for neurodiversity, particularly examining Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in built environments. Key investigations include spatial quality metrics for public spaces, ASD-responsive educational facilities, and pedagogical innovations in design education. This work bridges philosophical traditions (evident in her Descartes/Eisenman analysis) with evidence-based design methodologies, establishing her as a specialist in inclusive architecture.
Publication trends reveal strong interdisciplinary convergence between architecture, psychology, and education. Her recent works demonstrate methodological evolution from bibliometric assessments of ASD-focused design literature to empirical evaluations of Istanbul's public spaces and creative pedagogy frameworks. The consistent thread is evidence-driven spatial solutions addressing neurodiverse needs while advancing architectural theory through critical analysis of tradition versus innovation.
