Burak Genc
Architect & Designer
Holistic design is at the center of my practice, spanning spatial experience, the built environment, and visual identity. I operate within a wide field of architectural design, using both analogue and digital tools to bring visions to life. My design approach is shaped by my architectural studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna: concept-driven, experimental, and critically engaged with our environment.
Alongside my studies, I gained early practical experience as a graphic designer and architect, which shaped my understanding of how inherently connected these disciplines are. For me, design is the emotional orchestration of space through material, tactility, light, colour, and form.
Over the past seven years, I worked at hochform Architekten as Graphic Lead and Design Architect, responsible for the studio’s visual communication, competition work, and project-related tasks. In parallel, I completed independent projects including illustration, graphic and web design, interior concepts, and event design, gaining experience in concept development, organisation, and implementation.
I am driven by the belief that design can shape not only how we inhabit space, but how we understand ourselves within it.
