About
The London Turkish Architects Association (LTAA) is a global professional membership organisation which fosters distinction and collaboration in architecture and related creative industries.
LTAA's Goals
The primary goal of the LTAA is to represent the collective interests of the entire Turkish architectural and design community in London. Thereby, the association's focus encompasses beyond conventional architecture to encompass other creative fields including urban planning, landscape architecture, environmental design, interior design, lighting design, furniture design and more.
The LTAA aims to create an environment where architects can excel in their craft while also learning from one another and cooperating on projects, research, workshops, competitions, talks, and various other activities. The idea is that the association provides a local environment for networking while also fostering and blending both professional and academic development. Also, a professional common ground where both British and Turkish architects, designers, manufacturers and the construction industries are all brought together.
