This is also an Architecture Book is a comprehensive publication showcasing the 10-year architectural practice of Buda Architecture Office, founded by Burak Pelenk and Eda Yazkurt Pelenk. Drawing on experiences from cities such as Istanbul, Barcelona, Caracas, and Stuttgart, the book offers a detailed look at the office’s design philosophy, architectural approach, and creative process.
Published by YEM Publishing and designed by Deniz Karagül, the book presents over 20 award-winning projects—including the MALI Museum (Peru), Pjevlja Hospital (Montenegro), Nef Beykoz Residences (Istanbul), and the LÖSEV Rehabilitation Center (Çankırı)—with plans, sections, elevations, and photographs. The projects cover a wide spectrum, ranging from public buildings to residences, social centers to hospitals, museums to coastal developments.
The book also reflects how Buda Architecture has developed a distinct architectural identity over time, aiming to inspire especially young designers. Forewords by leading Turkish architects—including Ece Ceylan Baba, Emre Arolat, Can Çinici, Kerem Erginoğlu, and Hasan Çalışlar—highlight Buda’s thoughtful, humble approach and its meaningful position within contemporary architecture.
Capturing both the personal career journeys and architectural perspectives of Burak Pelenk and Eda Yazkurt Pelenk, this publication serves as a visually and intellectually rich resource for students, academics, and professionals in architecture.
