Istanbul, Turkey Emre Arolat established Emre Arolat Architects with Gonca Pasolar in 2004 in Istanbul, Turkey as a continuation to Arolat Architects. The studio handles projects of varying scales from urban to residential, diversifying their firm design philosophy of ‘situation’ of a site to develop into a potential. In Arolat`s works, each context imbibes different approaches leading to an architectural practice that identifies with conceptual and positional consistency rather than visual correspondences to the site. The materiality of each of his works completely leans on the visual and tactile nature. His projects exhibit a flexible approach to architectural expression based on definite conceptual grounds. Emre Arolat is a Chartered Member of RIBA.
