EAA VISION IS:
“In the architectural design process at EAA, main decisions consider interpretation of the ‘context’ in its widest sense. In this case, each context anticipates different approaches and this leads to an architectural practice where a conceptual and positional consistency is valid, rather than specific visual correspondences. The material use is determined by a categorical approach, depending on its visual and tactile nature, rather than designation of an inevitable specific material. Consequently, a flexible architectural expression is pursued on the basis of a definite conceptual ground.”
Emre Arolat Architects was founded in May 2004 by Emre Arolat and Gonca Paşolar in Istanbul, as the continuation of Emre Arolat’s architectural practices which he started at Arolat Architects as an associate designer in 1987. Arolat Architects was founded in 1961 and the group has drawn significant professional experience from regular contributions to architectural competitions and executed significant housing, tourism facilities, leisure centers, administrative buildings and sports grounds projects. The practice is being continued with the same range of projects in EAA-Emre Arolat Architects with the contributions of other partners, Neşet Arolat, Şaziment Arolat, Sezer Bahtiyar and a professional architectural staff in its office in Istanbul.
