UrbAr
Urbanization and Architecture
UrbAr is an Urban Design and Architecture office
based in Istanbul. Founded by Ali Kural and Deniz Çalış the practice of the
office focuses on the process of urbanization and its effects on the built
environment and on architectural design.
Whereas Turkish architecture has been characterized
by successive periods of nationalist and internationalist styles, UrbAr is
interested in investigating how the dynamics of urbanization inform the
practice of urban design and architecture. In this respect the older paradigms
of design practice are ineffective at best to come to terms with new forms of
urban development. Investigation of this emergence of new forms of urbanism is
part of the ongoing work of UrbAr.
UrbAr offers design services in the areas of urban planning, urban design, architecture, landscape and interior design. Recent completed projects include: Strategic Plannning of Urban Tourism in Beyoğlu, Master plannning of Resort community in Altınoluk, Housing in Milas and Teracce villa in Ankara.
