Buyaka was designed without using a thematic overlay. The design approach portrays an honest intent to do with its program as a mixed use building. It attempts to reflect a sense of integrity with its formal language, emphasizing that good design doesn’t need thematic overlays.

In architecture, meaning and content have been transposed. We are living in an era where the authentic has lost its importance and has been overruled by the superficial and fake realities have become the norm. Fake, theatrical facades are applied to buildings without a relationship with function and program. Materials mimic other materials with the excuse of cost effectiveness, creating a potpuri of postmodern clutter. What does the building say? Who is the user? İs an open question.

Amongst this conversation, Buyaka stands at a place speaking of architecture for the sake of architecture. It takes its references from itself and creates a formal dialogue unique to itself.
