Fraktal
Fraktal is an architecture and design technology studio. We build tools, research, and spatial systems for the scales where architecture meets computation.
We practise architecture, and we build the tools. An Ankara-based studio where product, research, and architecture are developed at the same table.
Form Follows Code
We approach architecture as a computational challenge, a complex system of constraints to be optimized through simulation, genetic algorithms, and custom scripts that encode design intent into responsive systems.
Cross-Scale Thinking
From furniture joints to urban master plans, we operate across scales. This allows us to propagate design logic from material assembly to city infrastructure, maintaining coherence at every level.
Background
The founder's practice since 2018 runs on both sides of the divide: from Grasshopper and Rhino to custom Python pipelines and machine learning frameworks, design and code have been inseparable from the start.
Fraktal synthesizes these experiences: the precision of parametric modeling, the spatial intuition of architecture, and the generative power of code.
Disciplines
Each discipline informs the others. We see these not as separate services, but as interconnected nodes in a larger system of design intelligence.
The Vision
Kemal Arda Alkin
B.Arch Bilkent · M.Arch AADRL, London Founder, Architect + Software EngineerFraktal is led by Kemal Arda Alkin, architect and software engineer, trained in architecture at Bilkent University and at the Architectural Association’s Design Research Lab (AADRL) in London. Since 2018 his practice has moved between parametric research and shipped software: computational design, AI visualization, Grasshopper tooling, spatial scanning, and the product systems behind Archly, Falcon AI, and SpaceCraft.
