Architecture should speak of its time and place, but long for timelessness.
OUR DESIGN APPROACH
MAP – Map Architectural Studio was founded in Mersin by architect Mehmet Ali PEKKOLAY in 2017.
Coming from a family of photographers, Mehmet Ali PEKKOLAY was introduced to the art world in his early years and was involved in it. He created a strong design identity in his architectural life with his expertise in many fields, including professional photography, graphic design and architectural visualization, and the infrastructure brought by his professional work before his education in architecture.
MAP, nationally and internationally; It produces exciting, unique and strong design identity projects in the fields of urban design, residences, offices, mixed-use buildings, educational buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, public buildings, sports complexes, renovation and interior design, taking into account the individuality of user requirements and needs. .
A human-centered philosophy is at the heart of our design processes. What is important for us is to understand what we can offer to society and the city. Each project is a piece of the city's puzzle. Each project is approached as a fresh, blank slate with its own exciting challenges and individual needs. Each new design is based on the technological possibilities, materials, colors and climate specific to that location, and we reject temporary and fashionista approaches from the very beginning. We believe that providing economical solutions during the design process is a prerequisite for the design process.
Architect Mehmet Ali PEKKOLAY, who has a strong architectural designer identity as well as professional experience in architectural drawing and visualization programs, was deemed worthy of the innovative architect of the year award in 2023.
