...In our studio, where we produce many different subjects and on many different scales, we aim to maintain an architectural design practice focused on situation and to develop this through the potentials inherent to it. This is a practice based on identifying the individual problems of each project, of each special situation, distinguishing their particular inputs, and looking for answers to the situation that has now become specific through a description that is as stratified as possible. Familiar styles, motivations of architectural movements, and design conventions are introduced at times, however, a noteworthy investment in these are put off each time. This tendency also problematizes a sort of aspiration to be consistent, which is rather widespread in the milieu and which pins its hopes on the kinship in the appearance of buildings produced.We believe that the situation of being chosen in a mechanical way, which is the fundamental characteristic of the seemingly antipodal two attitudes, uproots them both from the real world and renders them no different from one another.

And we hope that our design tendency, which could be called a sort of tropism, will be able to reach the marks of its inherent consistency – if there is such a thing – through the quest for awareness in the process of redefining each time what is to be conceived. This is an attitude in which the creative subjects–the persons in charge of the design, just like the product they create, feel that they themselves are not entirely free of these nonconformities, in which they question each time both the situation and themselves instead of forming consistent systems, instead of playing it safe, and contenting themselves with what suits their best interest...
