BİLGİ Architectural Design Master's Program alumnus Abdullah Mallah has received the Big See Perspective 2025 Award

BİLGİ Department of Architecture and Architectural Design Master's Program alumnus Abdullah Mallah has received the Big See Perspective 2025 Award.

The Big See Awards are presented annually to encourage creative and innovative work in the fields of architecture, interior design, and design on an international scale.

Mallah, who was nominated for the Big See Awards by architect Caner Bilgin, was deemed worthy of this award for the following works he completed as part of his undergraduate and graduate courses at the BİLGİ Department of Architecture: 

ROJO SANGRE:  

ROJO SANGRE is a self-illuminating kinetic/kinematic structure. The design output is a mechanism that can be operated via machine automation. Light and movement are the fundamental elements of the design problem. The design aims to create a consistent system capable of generating patterns and effects through the continuous interaction of moving elements and light. 

Project Team: Abdullah Mallah, Devrim Deniz, Sezin Uysal, Zeynep Salman  

Faculty Members: Bilge Bal, Faculty Member, İdil Üçer Karababa PhD, Serkan Uysal. 

Plug_In District:  

“Plug_In District” is an urban design project envisioning a futuristic urban area. The study integrates electric transportation with “phygital” spaces, which are hybrid environments where the physical and digital worlds are blended. The project aims to create a dynamic and sustainable environment where electric transportation and digital-physical interactions coexist, supporting green mobility and interactive public spaces. Key themes include Web3 technologies, metaverse applications, sustainable e-mobility, and physical+digital experiences.

Faculty Members: Faculty Member, Banu Tomruk, PhD, Begüm Aydınoğlu

Robotic EarthCrafts 2:

Robotic EarthCrafts 2 is a parametric structure proposal composed of compressed earth blocks. This project, which reinterprets traditional construction techniques with robotic production and biological contributions, presents a sustainable prototype located in the campus garden as a stage-podium.

Workshop Leaders: Prof. Tuğrul Yazar, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fulya Özsel Akipek, Nilüfer Kozikoğlu, Abdullah Mallah, and Halit Mallah
