Türkiye is a country rich in history, culture and natural beauty. A place where ancient traditions meet modern creativity, the country's geography and history are unique challenges that architects in Turkey face. Turkey is located in a seismically active region, which means that architects must consider earthquake-resistant design when planning buildings.
