Architecture does not exist in isolation—it shapes and is shaped by the world around it.
We translate architecture into impactful stories that inspire change and shape the future of the built environment.
The Circle, Avcı Architects’ dedicated communication platform, focuses on the broader impact of architecture by fostering dialogue, sharing knowledge, and connecting industry leaders committed to sustainability.
A key part of our mission is strategic communication for industry stakeholders—we work exclusively with companies that align with the inevitable transformation of the building sector. These firms lead the way in sustainable materials, innovative construction techniques, and responsible design practices, and we help them communicate their vision effectively.
our story
The Circle was founded in 2018 by Selçuk Avcı, Sanja Jurca Avcı, Markus Lehto, Eda Çarmıklı, Yüksel Demir, Kemal Seyhan, Nurgül Türker, Dilara Tekin Gezginti, and Ece Çakır Aidan.
Born from a shared commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation in architecture, design, and culture, The Circle was envisioned as a space to support dialogue, experimentation, and cultural exchange around the broader role of architecture in society.
With a dynamic advisory board and a growing network of collaborators, the platform initiated public talks, exhibitions, and interdisciplinary formats that brought together multiple perspectives around the built environment.
Over time, this work evolved into a multidisciplinary practice where content creation, curatorial thinking, and communication strategy came together to support a more sustainable architectural future.
Today, The Circle operates as an independent platform and consultancy that connects people, ideas, and formats — creating narratives that amplify architecture’s role in shaping a better world.
We craft strategies that go beyond promotion, building narratives, networks, and platforms that position our collaborators at the forefront of a changing industry.
