About this category
The Architecture category covers notable projects from Türkiye and around the world, architecture competitions, awards, and professional news. Our focus is on how digital tools and visualization are used in the design process—from concept imagery and competition boards to interior design and urban planning.
Our sources include announcements from the Chamber of Architects of Türkiye, local publications, and international architecture journals; we link to the original source in every story. Open competitions, along with their submission deadlines, are also listed in the Competition Calendar. This category also covers developments that directly affect practice, such as regulations, materials and construction technology, and sustainability.
We cover projects in context, including their location, scale, program, and design team—not just their visuals. For projects and competitions in Türkiye, we prioritize local sources; for international projects, we highlight what’s most relevant to the Turkish architecture community.
