I'm an architect and writer from Istanbul. I am interested in reuse as a means to decarbonize, change value systems, and realign industry practices in architecture.I'm currently doing my PhD with RIOT Lab at EPFL in Lausanne and am a registered architect with the California Architects Board.I am a co-founder and constituent of bags, a repair-centered interdisciplinary design collective. My full CV is here and my portfolio is available upon request.I like learning new things, like mountain orogeny or web development. I made this classroom icebreaker generator and a schedule maker. When I'm not staring at a screen, I'm probably writing sci-fi, running, swimming,or hiking.elif.erez [at] epfl.ch for questions, collaborations, salutations.
