Thank you...

Dear Mr.McAslan
How do you evaluate the story of Gebze Yapi Kredi Bank Building? Can you tell us
the process from the initial agreement to the completion of the building by
comparing the situations with
England? What were the most challenging experiences you had during the design
and construction phases?

Can we learn your advices for the candidates of architects? Each year lots of
peaople are graduating from architecture schools as architects but we know few
of them. Most of them seek jobs for months, and lucky ones are destined to work
with low salaries. Only a few of them can have their names on such big projects
as yours. Probably the secret is not luck only, what is the secret of this
success? Thank You.
Dear Mr. McAslan,
I am 32 years old, graduated in Istanbul with BA Hon’s. I have now settled in
UK, living in Essex and find it very hard to get into my line of work, which is
Interior Design. Back at home I was running my own interior design company.
I have approached many architectural companies and agencies with a view to take
up such a position, even as a trainee or junior, in order to adopt and gain the
methods carried out in UK. Unfortunately so far without any luck.
I was wondering whether there is any possibility at all for me to join your team
in London as a work experience. I would be happy to accept just my travel cost
in order to get started. I am enthusiastic, hard working and have a great
passion in my line of work.
I would be happy to supply you with my CV and portfolio.
Many thanks and regards.
Lokman Coskun
PLEASE SEND YOUR CV TO ROGER WU IN OUR OFFICE FOR HIS CONSIDERATION.
First I would like to express my impressions about your work, please correct
me if I am misguided.
JMP Landscape's work along with the architectural designs tend to be more like
"landscape urbanism", rather than traditional landscaping as a
background for buildings. (especially in Staten Island project) Design of built
and natural elements seems to be equal in value since, both are human
implemented on the site.
re: Yapi Kredi Operations Center Background
Although means of sprawl is massive suburbanization in the US, and almost
non-existent other than some gated communities in EU, it is illegal land
occupation and corporate strips side-by-side in Turkey. Typically hottest zones
for this kind of sprawl are the planks of the highways, just like the location
of Yapi Kredi Operations Center.
Almost 10-12 years ago, Yapi Kredi was the proud owner of the skyscraper
wanna-be high rise blocks in Levent, one of the first curtain walled buildings
in Istanbul, which were -like it or not- very influential in the architecture of
the city. They were widely used in the ad campaigns of the bank besides with any
other product ads and music videos of the time as a sign of being
"contemporary."
The actual questions:
I am very curious about how did you influenced / guided the bank about how
should the next facility would be like. (since it was again widely used in its
ad campaigns as a measurement of "new contemporaryness") How did the
switch from high rise of late 80's to a remote center which is strongly urban in
itself, and also located in a future sprawl zone took place? (Was it intentional
for building to be "inward" other than expansional and HVAC purposes?)
Relatively, can you tell the story of the proposed Yapi Kredi building in
downtown(?) Istanbul?
thank you.

Dear John,
First of all i would like to congrudulate you for the new job in Merton Park. I
believe that this project will lift the spirit of the area up. Will you
cooperate with the local architects?
Secondly it is such a pleasure having a chance to ask you questions via a
turkish architectural portal right behind winning the eurovision song contest as
it was the first time in its history.I know it is out of subject but as a
Scottish you might understand how to be proud of your country while you are
having economical, political and cultural difficulties.
Anyway after all here are the questions i would like to ask:
- If one of them had to be dominant ,which one you think is important on the way
to success ? Being much more verbal and marketing yourself extremely good or
spending most of your time on your work to make it as good as possible and
visualizing it modestly?
-As being the head of one of the remarkable architectural company, honestly what
would be your first impression if you met a foreign applicant for the position
of trainee or junior with a degree from his/her home country? what kind of
capabilities are you looking for?
-As far as i know you are so enthusiastic in educating the youngsters
(architcts/arch.students) ,what would be your advice to the foreign youngsters
who are ready to work hard for an international architectural company?
Thank you very much for your time.
