Stage_0 Travelogue traces an intimate visual narrative shaped by @murat.tabanlioglu . The exhibition begins with a series of photographs he took from hotel rooms during his travels across world cities. These quiet, observational images capture the first moment of arrival, the suspended instant between unfamiliarity and recognition, and form the emotional point of departure for the journey that follows.

As the exhibition unfolds, the photographs transition into three-dimensional prints of projects Murat developed in those same cities. Together, the works map a dialogue between personal experience and professional practice, showing how places first encountered through a window frame later evolve into built ideas. Travel becomes research and memory becomes form.

An additional room features a video installation that documents a single day in Murat’s life. Filmed during the period when he began work on the Haliç Shipyard (Tersane İstanbul) project, the piece offers a rare glimpse into the rhythm of his daily routine, following him from morning to evening and reflecting how observation gradually turns into creation. The exhibition presents architecture not only as a process of drawing and building but as a way of moving through the world with curiosity and attention.

Through its layered structure, Stage_0 Travelogue reflects how Murat understands and interprets the world: by looking, by moving, by remembering and by reimagining what has been seen. #architecture #design #exhibition #murattabanlioglu — Stage_0 Travelogue traces an intimate visual narrative shaped by @murat.tabanlioglu .

Located at the point where Vienna’s First and Fourth Districts meet, near the museum quarter at the beginning of Mariahilfer Straße, the project involves the transformation of an existing department store. The original reinforced-concrete structure is reconfigured to accommodate a new mixed-use program consisting of residences, a hotel and retail spaces.

Inspired by the 19th-century façades characteristic of the surrounding neighborhood, the proposed façade design introduces a contemporary tectonic expression. A transparent primary façade is paired with a secondary architectural “mask” placed in front of it, creating depth, rhythm and a dialogue with the historic streetscape while maintaining a distinctly modern identity. #architecture #design #murattabanlioglu — Located at the point where Vienna’s First and Fourth Districts meet, near the museum quarter at the beginning of Mariahilfer Straße, the project involves the transformation of an existing department store.

The 4+1 Workstation: – A system where four users work in fixed positions, – While an additional +1 participant can join the table seamlessly, – Enabling quick discussions, teamwork, and fluid interaction at the heart of the workspace. At the center, the cross-shaped base discreetly houses computer units and cable management, while structurally supporting the single-piece, footless square tabletop. This creates a clean, uninterrupted, and generously open work surface. Designed for all teams, the 4+1 Workstation enhances collective thinking, fast decision-making, and integrated communication within any office environment. A workstation that places teamwork at the center, bringing collaboration and meeting culture into a single, refined piece of furniture.
