Designing at the intersection of narrative, technology, and craft.
About
Background
Burak is a co-founding principal of YCD Studio, bringing a deep background in institutional, cultural, and competition-scale design to the firm's commercial and hospitality practice. Before YCD, he shaped projects at HDR Architecture, Oyler Wu Collaborative, Studio Libeskind, and Melike Altınışık — spanning museums, memorials, labs, and towers across three continents.
Philosophy
Approach
“Architecture should feel inevitable — like it was always meant to be there. I start every project by listening for the story the site and the client are already telling, then I work to give that story a physical form that's precise enough to build and open enough to evolve.”
Journey
Three continents. One vision.
Experience
A path through world-class studios.
