Last month we had a presentation by Nevzat Sayın about the topic of beginnigs. I couldn’t share the details because of the busy schedule of the studio but I’d love to tell you about the topics that he mentioned and his great works. Let me start with introducing him: Nevzat Sayın is an architect and writer that has been working in his own architecture studio since 1985. He has done really inspiring projects so far and he talked about some of his work. Here are some of them:
The Seed: A concert hall located in Istanbul, Emirgan 2008
Bilgi University; Architecture Facultiy and Library:
Anadolu University’s Architecture and Design Faculties
In his speech he talked about how the hardest part of design progress is the beginnings, which is the most that we’re struggling with as architecture students. According to him there are two ways to start: focusing on the solution or focusing on the problem. He adviced focusing on the problem and the details of the case. I really loved his speech, if you’d like to get to know him and listed to his TEDx talk you can take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVUG_iaywAU
