THE DESIGNER'S POINT OF VIEW...

In addition to the environment in which we were born and grew up, we begin to experience creative practices on the good life in the continuation of the way we look at our environment and the events that develop, most of which was founded during architectural education. With the intensity of the education we receive throughout the school process, we acquire different perspectives and disciplines without even realizing it. Over the years, we begin to experience the results of what we have collected in our pockets, first on paper and then in reality. In addition to the fields where we practice our profession, we can answer almost any task we handle during the day, "-How can it be different?" We feel the desire to rediscover and reveal every time with an experimental creative point of view. When we look at what we have after passing this desire through many filters, we realize that we also feed on the common experiences of different disciplines.
 

I think that architecture, which designs objects, spaces and lifestyles has a direct impact on the collective consciousness, perception and development process of societies. Since the day we opened our eyes to the world, light has been the most important factor in establishing the connection with life and has an inseparable relationship with architecture. Rather than its impressiveness, what makes the building memorable is its purpose, emotion and sustainable connection with its user. In this respect, I believe that light is a very important guide in architecture. We question the answers to the questions of what we want to do, what to see, what to feel, how to make the others feel, when there is little or no light. In the light of this, we are trying to reach that light we want to see in the dark by blending our exsisting knowledge and experience.

Designing the light solves exactly that problem, which for its users has a story, a feeling and a purpose for an improved life . The resulting work requires a combination of scientific knowledge, technical solutions, esthetics, human psychology and physiology. If one is missing, it becomes difficult for the person to connect with the space The space does not have value unless we connect with it.
I think that all of the design-based features makes a whole. The most important difference here is the approach, the depth of our perspective and the value we want to add to it.
