Salon/Alper Derinboğaz – TURKEY

Arch II / Salon Founder / ITU – UCLA. Recognized as an emerging and influential architect, Alper Derinbogaz investigates the possibilities of physical environment through the potential relationships between space and time. His design approach mostly relies on the importance of re-evaluating the context and intensifying it through interventions in multiple scales. Thus, his design varies in scale from the museums to installations, intending to uncover and question the essential elements of the given site and the theme.
