About

Daghan Dizdaroglu, 1994 Istanbul, I am a Turkish architect and visual artist living in Vienna for the last 10 years. While studying at the Vienna University of Technology, I started my own technical drawing office and since 2017 I have been working in the field of architectural design, architectural visualization and architectural implementation. 

During my education I started to work with different architectural offices and I had the opportunity to work on different historical buildings in Vienna. While writing my bachelor thesis at the Vienna University of Technology, I started working with Arch. DI Robin Jax and Arch. DI Markus Ableidinger-Escudero on a structural intervention in a sacred building, a Clemens Holzmeister Church, Pfarre Dornbach in Vienna. The design was approved after presentations and meetings with the Federal Office for the Protection of Monuments, the Archdiocese of Vienna and the local community, and was realized in collaboration with WIR Architects.

After the successful intervention/restoration of the Pfarre Dornbach with Arch DI Robin Jax and the completion of my studies, I have specialized in the restoration of historical buildings and loft extensions. For the last few years I have been working as a project lead and designer in the architectural practice WIR Architects, where I design roof restorations, office buildings, design shops and assist the architectural practice with site planning and supervision in collaboration with its business partners.

I started producing digital works with my alternate persona to balance my career focused on physical architecture in daily life. In the year 2023 I co-founded the „post digital architectural office“ with Merve Sahin and started working on our projects Phantom Fora, Wildlife Pavilions and Cyberhideout. Together with Merve Sahin, in Space Atonal, I continue to develop concepts where I critically approach cities, architecture and the rule makers of cities, manipulate reality with digital tools through animation and CGI, and imagine digital layers of physical spaces.
