I am Berker ÖZ, an architect based in Toulouse. I completed my architectural education in 2014 at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design of İzmir University of Economics. Today, I develop an independent practice positioned between architectural design, project support and visual communication. Alongside providing architectural services for private and institutional clients, I also offer flexible external support to architects, offices and project teams. In parallel with my professional work, I also develop personal design research, visual experiments and explorations around space, representation and thought.

This studio is both a professional and personal space. It is where I present my architectural services, project work and collaborations, but also where I develop personal explorations, design research and visual experiments around architecture, space and representation. I see it as a place to think, produce, test and share. Some work is client-oriented, some is more personal or experimental, but all of it comes from the same intention: to understand ideas clearly, give them form and develop them with care.

The relationship I have built with architecture over time has transformed not only the work I do, but also the way I perceive the world. This transformation has gradually carried my perspective beyond space itself. Over time, I began to realize that not only buildings and spaces, but also ideas, images and everyday situations have their own internal structure, their own architecture. The way something is constructed, the parts through which it exists, what it comes into contact with and the tensions through which it takes shape have become increasingly visible to me. This is why I read the world less through things that stand alone, and more through interconnected layers, rhythms, relationships and possibilities. For me, creative thinking also emerges from this way of reading. Rather than simply bringing existing elements together, I try to reorganize them through new proportions, new balances and new relationships in order to create another expression, another structure or a new possibility. In this sense, architectural thinking is, for me, an open process that continues to read the world, to see relationships anew and to discover the structure behind what is visible.
