B.A.A. Architecture & Restoration is a Şanlıurfa-based practice working in the documentation, conservation and adaptive reuse of cultural heritage, alongside contemporary architectural design.
Led by partners Barış Atamışgöray and Ecem İlk Atamışgöray, the practice works from measured survey and historical research through design, digital documentation and implementation. Building traces, construction techniques and spatial character inform its approach.
