ATÖLYE

We have been spending some time in and on this heritage building in Abu Dhabi which is home to Central Bank of the UAE. What a client to have! They are true believers of transformation through spaces just like we are at ATÖLYE Architecture. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been designing for them! Stay tuned! If you want to learn more though, just drop in our Dubai or Istanbul hubs!

Did you know that during Covid-19 we worked on designing an award-winning hybrid education system together with Sezin School? “The Sezin Post” was designed, produced, and delivered as a supplementary hybrid education system for and by students, parents, and teachers to create a remote learning environment and foster a sense of belonging. This project won an iF DESIGN award in 2022, and we truly enjoyed pushing the boundaries of what's possible during times of crisis. In a world that is ever-changing, how do we indeed continue to foster sense of belonging? Want to explore more? Check out our case study here: https://lnkd.in/dxY3N3cN What alternative education programs or immersive curricula have you created? We'd love to hear your initiatives or thoughts in the comments. #education #pandemic #crisis #future #turkey #türkiye #ksa #dubai #covid19 #alternativeeducation #learning

Before-After photos of our Open Roof Space transformation project that we executed for Sezin School 🏫 (all co-designed with students, teachers and parents!). The Open Roof Space project was designed as a pedagogical space with a spatially hybrid program that fosters meeting, making, learning and working. The scope of the project included a Design Sprint, Strategy Facilitation, Architectural Design, and Brand & Communication Design. Truly, the best part of this project was including the staff, students, teachers and the parents throughout the design process to truly create a space that works for everyone's individual and collective needs.

In the fifth episode of the ATÖLYE Insights Podcast series, our Co-CEO Engin Ayaz hosted Colette Forma, Director of Radical Innovation at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Geert Christiaansen, founder of Specto Consulting, and ex-Philips Experience Design Studio Director. This live-recorded session was recorded in Amsterdam as part of our Impact Leaders Roundtable series, and in this particular session, the discussion revolved around how we might lead change together through the communities we foster within our organizations.

Powering Transformation through Communities: Community is a word that gets tossed around quite frequently (we are also guilty of that). But like many overused words, it carries a deeper meaning that retains a certain power, especially in these times of uncertainty and confusion across many aspects of life. To explore this topic further, we are excited to welcome Engin Ayaz to our next We Create Meaning event. Steffen Stäuber met Engin at House of Beautiful Business in Tangier earlier this year and was inspired by his unique and dynamic approach to building communities that drive transformative change. Join us on July 23 at WE SPACE to get inspired, exchange ideas, and meet new friends in the work! #Community #Transformation #WeCreateMeaning #Networking #Inspiration https://lu.ma/x24wb2bf

Perhaps the factor I find most compelling about the transformation sweeping this region is that meaningful change is taking place at every level of society and in every corner of the economy. And, while each GCC country has a strategic plan at a national level, it’s important to remember that many emirates, provinces, and governorates within those countries have their own vision at a local level. For example, at ATÖLYE we’ve enjoyed working with Ajman’s Executive Council for the past year, supporting them on different components of their inspiring Vision 2030 – from placemaking to capacity-building for the next generation, as well as helping to express the Vision itself.   Of course, the micro needs to be in sync with the macro, as it is in Ajman, but setting out a provincial vision is a chance to celebrate the rich diversity of regional heritage and focus on what matters most to local communities.     It’s with this in mind that on Monday morning I will head out on a road trip around parts of Saudi Arabia. Once I’ve met some of our current clients and friends in Riyadh, I will head north, via Hail Region Development Authority to The Royal Commission for AlUla where I hope to learn more about upcoming heritage and community projects. My journey is likely to include Tabuk, the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, the Madinah Region Development Authority MRDA - Official Page, Jeddah Municipality أمانة محافظة جدة, Aseer Development Authority (ASDA) - هيئة تطوير منطقة عسير, and Jazan Region Development Strategic Office | المكتب الاستراتيجي لتطوير منطقة جازان I look forward to making new friends along and sharing ATÖLYE’s community-powered story, as well as insights into some of the meaningful change we’ve helped various leaders to deliver across the region. If you’re currently working on a transformation project for your organisation, and my route passes near your city, please let me know – it would be a pleasure to meet up. --- ATÖLYE: Transforming people, places, and experiences.

How might we build a vibrant and multipurpose space to facilitate collaboration between startups, private entities and government? This is the question we set-off to answer when we designed the award-winning Accelerators Space for the DUBAI FUTURE FOUNDATION in 2019. Abdulaziz AlJaziri, Deputy CEO and COO of the Dubai Future Foundation has said of the space: “It has reinvented the way we work.” To find out more about this project, please check out our case study below: https://lnkd.in/dte7-P_X Are you also interested in creating cross-collaborative spaces?
