Who I am ?
I am Berker OZ, an architect based in Toulouse. I completed my architectural studies in 2014 at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design at İzmir University of Economics.
Today, I run an independent practice that brings together architectural design, project support, and visual communication. I provide architectural services to private and professional clients, while also offering flexible external support to architects, studios, and project teams according to their needs.
About the Studio
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.
Philosophy
Over time, architecture transformed the way I perceive the world. I gradually began to understand more clearly that not only spaces, but also ideas, images, and situations within everyday life have an architecture of their own, shaped by the elements, relationships, and tensions that constitute them.
This perspective shaped not only the way I think, but also the way I work and my creative processes. Therefore, when approaching projects, I try to understand how the different components that make up a project relate to one another, and then to reorganize them in a way that allows new forms, balances, and possibilities specific to the context to emerge.
