URAStudio is a multidisciplinary design firm rooted in architecture with a wide range of projects and clients.
As architects and designers we create spaces to inspire the way we live, learn, heal, work and play.
Emir studied architecture at the Architectural Association in London and at Kingston Polytechnic. He received his Masters Degree in Architecture from Southern California Institute of Architecture, Los Angeles.
He set up URAStudio in 1995 in Los Angeles and moved his practice to Istanbul in 1998. He cofounded UrasXDilekci Architects in 2003 and has been continuing his work from URAStudio since 2014.
He taught design studio at Bilgi University and Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul and has contributed to training several young architects and designers.
We work with a core design team that lead each project through several strategy led stages.
We are supported with professional collaborators to deliver the highest quality of innovative design and service.
Our core design team is supported by our extended collaborative design studio Form-Union.
We research and create methodologies and design strategies to give answers to the needs of contemporary life. We create designs that are sensitive to basic human needs and enhance a fuller sense of being and living.
Our poetic approach is an expression of an optimum balance between form, material, space and place. Our place and situation based tailored approach is cultivated and reflected in the diverse spectrum of our work.
