We discussed architectural agenda of Ankara and problems of architectural practice with young architects of Ankara: Hakan Evkaya, Kutlu Bal, Fatih Yavuz, Gökhan Aksoy, Onat Öktem and Zeynep Öktem

As a team of Arkitera, what we were thought was to meet different categories of people and understand the city. Besides the İstanbul’s magnificent design conditions, and endless problems, Ankara’s increasing urban issues, its opposite urban actors and historical process as architectural dynamic make the discussion on Ankara is a necessity.

We were setting our eyes on academicians, urban opponents, and architects from Ankara, especially young architects from Ankara!

What was the meaning of to be an architect in Ankara? Moreover, what was the difficulties of to be a young architect in Ankara? What were the differences from any other cities?

We asked the young architects: Is it no longer satisfying to try to do architecture in Ankara?

We met with the Creative Initiative team for this amazing interview… They got all the answers…
