Adem Altunkaya

Experienced Urban Designer with a passion for shaping vibrant communities and sustainable environments. My expertise spans across various facets of Urban Design and the broader construction industry, including civic and urban regeneration, quality design, placemaking, and sustainable development.

During my tenure at a prominent practice, I honed my skills in residential development across diverse settings and scales. Playing a pivotal role, I not only contributed to projects but also imparted fundamental Urban Design principles to colleagues, fostering a collaborative and innovative work culture. Utilizing traditional mediums like sketches and hand-drawn illustrations, we infused each project with a distinctive touch, facilitating rapid concept development and expansion.

My academic background in Architecture & Urban Planning (BA) and Urban Design (MA) provided me with a robust foundation in various disciplines. My research and studies delved into critical areas such as city centre development, landscaping, neighbourhood regeneration, historic preservation, housing design, community-oriented planning, materialistic design, and street-level interventions.

Driven by a commitment to creating impactful spaces, I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to contribute meaningfully to future projects and initiatives within the realm of Urban Design.
