ABOUT
A.Hilal Ugurlu is a Turkish architect and an architecural historian. Her Master’s thesis, entitled “The Works of Architect Behruz Cinici”, focused on modern Turkish architecture from 1950’s up until today and analyzed the works of contemporary Turkish architect Behruz Cinici in that context. After she received her MS c. degree in 2002, she became increasingly interested in Ottoman cultural history and its effect on architecture. Her research focuses on 18th and 19th century Ottoman architecture in Istanbul. In her dissertation “Selim III’s Istanbul: Building Activities In The Light Of Political And Military Transformations", she seeks to describe the relationship between the physical and social structure of the Ottoman capital at that time.
She was a visiting research scholar in the Aga Khan Program between 2009-2010. She recieved her Phd degree in 2012.
Besides her dissertation, she was a part of a TUBITAK project, entitled “The works of Architect William James Smith in Istanbul and ‘Taskisla’”.
