The Faculty of Architecture and Design Building at Ozyegin University is the culmination of a decade of work by ARK-itecture. ARK is an emerging design studio founded by architect Roger L Klein, AIA who led the design for the building in collaboration with BG Architects.

Designing a building for the study of architecture and design is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity for an architect. Designing a building with such high aspirations on a modest budget made this an even greater challenge and accomplishment.

“We believe our solution for this building is founded on a timeless yet exciting architectural language that relates all parts to the whole and fully integrates the perimeter campus building diagonally back to the original campus quadrangle designed ten years ago,” explains Klein.
