Melike Altınışık Architects

Melike Altınışık Architects (MAA) is an international architecture firm with offices in Istanbul and Seoul. They specialize in creating innovative and visionary projects ranging in scale from architecture and urbanism to interiors, art installations and product design.

Their spaces are created in a dialogue between "nature, technology and man." They draw inspiration from a wide range of sources, often not directly related to architecture, such as organic and natural systems. They design spaces that interact with the city and shape its future through contemporary architectural forms.

The goal of each project is to create new experiences for people, using light, nature and space as design tools. In doing so, they create surprising gathering places that actively enrich daily life and foster social interaction.

Their approach to architecture, which starts with a "clean white paper," encompasses the entire process - from the conceptual phase to the moment when the design meets the user. They seek to develop a lasting revolution in architectural pedagogy by integrating smart technological tools as active participants in the creative process. In doing so, they are expanding the boundaries of contextualized thinking about architecture.

MAA has participated in numerous national and international architectural competitions, exhibitions and publications. Their portfolio includes award-winning projects based on advanced technology and innovation, such as the futuristic 369-meter TV and Radio Tower in Istanbul and the world's first Museum of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Seoul.
