PARCH

PARCH, an architectural practice and thought initiative, focuses on design research at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and the urban, with an analytical, intellectual, and artistic approach. PARCH develops public space projects ranging from 75 hectares to 500 square meters, mostly through open competitions organized by local governments to encourage broad participation. To date, PARCH has received seven national awards in Türkiye — including two first prizes. In addition to our initiative practice, we have been teaching experience in architectural education for than 20 years. In 2021 and 2022, we launched a nationwide open call for a two-week internship and workshop program titled 'Park @ PARCH'. From a portfolio-based selection, 24 undergraduate architecture students were chosen to participate.
