— About
Yaren Yılmaz.
Architect.
Born

Based
Istanbul, Turkey
— Amsterdam, 2024
I am an Istanbul Technical University graduate from the Architecture department. I enjoy creating, learning new things, and working across different disciplines. I value taking responsibility, contributing actively within a team, and approaching challenges with a solution-oriented mindset.
In my architectural work, I am especially interested in the design process, project development, technical drawing, and collaborative problem-solving. I read sites carefully — looking for the conditions a project must respond to before deciding what it should be — and treat the section, more than the plan, as the document where most decisions are made visible.
Outside of academic studios I have worked on a Baumit competition entry with a small team, supported design and construction documentation at the Tersane İstanbul construction site, and contributed to the BTNAA architecture office. I'm now looking for the next office where I can keep building this practice.
