To identify Arkan Zeytinoglu’s architectural position in the concert of contemporary architecture one must respect his autonomous artistic position. He has no ambition to take part in the global game of consumerist architecture based on spectacles, or to pursue the avarice for constantly new sensations that fail to consider the usability and usefulness of the projects. He wants to realize his conceptual and artistic vision of an architecture of moods and atmospheres in a fruitful dialogue with the client, in which the chemistry is harmonious. His concern is the “essence of what is useful.”
