Crid Architects, founded in Istanbul in 2016, is a practice focusing on architecture and design, from buildings and public spaces to large-scale urban planning. Founded by Emre Engin and Merve Keskin, the firm collaborates with numerous other offices.
Crid Architects believes that projects should be considered within local, regional, and global contexts when designing, and that they should be designed for a social purpose beyond the client. In this context, they aim for projects to create lasting social, economic, and environmental impact. They strive to ensure the optimal integration of the built environment into the social fabric of the city. Their approach to projects involves detailed research, analysis, and design and implementation, while also considering their professional responsibilities. This process is also exploratory, educational, and enjoyable for them.
They believe that working with enthusiasm and curiosity is the most productive way to develop the best design solutions in a constantly changing world. A thorough analysis and a clearly defined approach are integral to successful design. In this context, they strive to find the right answers by asking the right questions.
