MAS Architecture Studio Meeting Kerim Miskavi Team Design Meeting

MAS is an award-winning architecture and design practice internationally recognized for its tailored solutions across diverse scales and geographies. With expertise spanning academic, residential, cultural, and commercial programs, the studio works on projects ranging from custom furniture to large-scale urban transformations in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.


In addition to its project practice, the studio positions itself as an active voice in the international architectural discourse via theoretical research and experimental design. Frame, a research driven exhibition piece showed at the Biennale d’architecture et de paysage d’Îlede-France (BAP!) in Versailles in 2025. An architectural installation, “Barjeel” showed at Dubai Design Week 2019 and was a finalist for ArchDaily’s Building of the Year. These honors, alongside major architectural commissions currently under construction in Istanbul, Izmir, and Baghdad, totaling over 200.000 m², reflect MAS’ expanding global footprint and its commitment to excellence across all project phases.

 

With a commitment to sustainability and a concept-driven, iterative approach, MAS contributes to contemporary architectural discourse through a culturally rooted, forward-thinking design philosophy, grounded in empathy for its clients, users, and the planetary ecosystem. Inspired by Türkiye’s architectural legacy, the studio re-imagines spatial solutions for today’s climate and urban challenges.

Highlights

Conceived as a sustainable and state-of-the-art educational base, the new Izmir University of Economics Campus marks a significant milestone in Turkish higher education. As the country's largest single-phase university investment, its 162.000 m² of enclosed program area integrates academics, administration, sports, social amenities, and dormitories into a cohesive ecosystem. Following its First Prize selection by the Izmir Chamber of Commerce from a pool of 54 national entries, the project has achieved international acclaim as a dual finalist at the World Architecture Festival (WAF) 2026, shortlisted in the Masterplan and Education categories for Future Projects. With the Groundbreaking Ceremony in June 2024, construction kicked off for the first of the three phases, including the Sports Complex, College of Engineering, College of Science & Letters and the Engineering Laboratory Annex Building.

MAS’ entry to the National Competition for Erenköy Mental Health Campus received the Purchasing Award in 2020 and “A Place to Stand Still” won the Jury Prize at the 25th Golden Plumb Awards organized by the International Building Catalog in 2022.

 

NAYA, PH7800Ilıca Residence and Sponza have been featured in Turkey's Architecture Yearbook by Arkitera and DAC Space Best of Interior Design Selection. PH7800 has been further recognized internationally as a finalist for the World Architecture Festival 2022.

Philosophy

MAS is a cross-scale architecture and design practice that aims to create from 2 to 200.000 m² with a strong narrative and intent.

MAS approaches design as a context-driven dialogue, initiated by a seed of thought and shaped through open collaboration with the client and stakeholders.

Pages from 2026_MASProfile_Page_2_edited.jpg

MAS begins by asking not what can be added, but what can be designed with what is already there, and believes sustainability is achieved through flexible spatial strategies that allow for change and foster a sense of belonging.
