Speaker
Caner Bilgin began his professional career at Teğet Mimarlık, where he worked on various competition and concept projects until 2013, after which he founded Bilgin Architects. Alongside his practice, he served as a part-time lecturer at Istanbul Bilgi University from 2012 to 2019. In 2016, he participated in the Pavilion of Turkey at the Venice Architecture Biennale with the installation Baştarda. He received the 2023 Arkitera Young Architect Award and was named in the 'Europe 40under40' list. Throughout his career, he has won numerous awards in national and international architecture competitions.
Can Bilgin discusses the relationship between geography and the Kalyon Karapınar Central Control Building, located in Karapınar, Konya, the only region in Turkey exhibiting signs of a desert climate, through the building's striking façade design. The Kalyon Karapınar Central Control Building features an extraordinary façade design that integrates with the geography, extends the horizon line, and communicates with the weather conditions and the region through its reflective qualities. One of the most important elements of the building's identity, the façade provides a different experience at every hour of the day.
"We aimed to establish a connection between the sky and the earth through our material selection and facade design. We have constructed an administrative center that interacts with its surroundings during the day and shines like a jewel at night."
