“Humanising the Complexity”
We discussed the evolution of parametric thinking from experimental computation during my AA DRL years to today’s realities at MAA of AI, adaptive systems, and architecture as an interface between technology, ecology, and human life.
A meaningful opportunity to reflect on how architecture can contribute to a more connected, resilient, and intelligent future where our focus is “Humanising the Complexity”
Thank you Dezeen for the conversation.

#dezeen #parametricarchitecture #design #architecture #harvest2026
We talked about atmosphere, technology, what it means to build for a body rather than a camera, and the idea that struck us most: cities don’t need more icons, they need situations. The unglamorous infrastructure of being in public together. We captured five moments from this conversation.

Conceived as a contemporary mixed-use development, Swissôtel & Raffle Residences Sea Breeze rises 13 floors, accommodating 150 hotel rooms and 458 branded residences. The project is designed to offer a seamless integration of premium hospitality and long-term coastal living, supported by a rich program that includes direct access to a private beach, signature restaurants, boutiques, and curated lifestyle amenities.
The architectural language reflects MAA’s approach of merging nature, technology, and human experience. The building’s distinctive façade is inspired by the movement of waves and the winds of Sea Breeze, translating the dynamism of wind and water into a refined architectural expression. Layered surfaces, fluid geometries, and carefully articulated vertical elements create a rhythmic façade that changes with light and perspective, reinforcing the project’s identity along the Caspian shoreline.
Swissôtel Sea Breeze embodies Swissôtel’s global legacy of understated elegance, comfort, and wellbeing, reinterpreted through MAA’s contemporary architectural vision. Together, they establish a refined coastal environment where sophisticated design, premium service, and everyday life converge—setting a new benchmark for seaside living in Baku.

“100 Women: Architects in Practice” from, celebrates and acknowledges a rich, diverse, and fascinating survey of exceptional women architects from around the world and their contributions to the built environment.
Multiple award winner and leading industry voice Professor Harriet Harriss, together with senior academics and writers Naomi House and Monika Parrinder and multi-award-winning architecture journalist and editor of Dezeen Tom Ravenscroft, showcase the largely overlooked stories of 100 women currently making their mark in the architectural world.

Each has the knowledge and talent to be a household name. This publication aims to play a small part in increasing their visibility by giving their contributions due recognition.
100 Women is a must-have book for design students and professionals, serving as a flagship reference and inspirational collection for everyone whether interested in the field of architecture, or in gender equity across all professions and disciplines.

We create space with the dialogue in between "nature - technology - human". We draw inspiration from a wide range of sources not traditionally associated with architecture, such as organic and natural systems. We design unique spaces that establish a dialogue within the city through the contemporary design characters and we shape the future. In fact, the aim of each our architectural projects are to bring new experiences to people by using “light, nature and space” as a design tool which creates surprise encounters that actively contribute to daily life and social interactions.
MAA’s architectural approach which starts on a “white blank page” aims designing all process from the beginning of the design, till when the design meets the users to develop a sustainable revolution within the architectural pedagogy. In this context, we transform smart technological tools into important actors that produce with us in the process, and thus to expand the contextual thinking boundaries of architecture.
All our projects in the MAA portfolio create part of a long-term design agenda. MAA has participated in various national, international, and invited architectural competitions, exhibitions, and publications. MAA’s work include prize winning projects with advanced technology and innovation such as futuristic 369m tall Istanbul TV and Radio Tower in Turkey and world’s first pioneer Seoul Robot & AI Museum in South Korea.
