Architect | Multidisciplinary Designer | 3D Artist
Eralp Orkun Cihan
I am an architect based in Berlin, Germany, with a passion for creating innovative and functional designs. In addition to my architectural expertise, I am deeply interested in the emerging fields of the metaverse, NFT, VR/AR, and digital architecture. I believe in the potential of these technologies to transform the design field and push the boundaries of creativity. I am continuously exploring and incorporating these technologies into my work, striving to be at the forefront of the industry.
I have gained valuable experience working in various architecture firms in both Berlin and Istanbul, where I have been involved in diverse projects, including residential, commercial, and cultural spaces. My focus is not only on creating visually stunning designs but also on ensuring their functionality and practicality. I have been recognized for my work in architecture through competitions and publications. I have won prizes for my projects and have had my work published in magazines and showcased at conferences. These experiences have further fueled my drive to be a visionary in the design field, incorporating the latest technologies and trends.
