She received her M. Arch and PhD. Arch degree from the Middle East Technical University Department of Architecture in 1998 and worked as a research assistant in the METU Department of Architecture from 1998 to 2003. Her thesis examines the ways in which ‘systems approach,’ which found a place in the science of ecology after the 1960s, effected the contemporary discourse of sustainable architecture and current green architectural practices. Currently, she practices at Yazgan Design Architecture, which she founded with Kerem Yazgan, PhD. Architect, in 2003. Begüm considers her theoretical background and past academic career to be an integral part of her approach in her professional practices
