My name is Ece (Edzhe) Hamzaoglu. I born in the significant city of Istanbul in 2003. My parents are Turkish but were born and raised in Bulgaria. I grew up with both Bulgaria and Turkish culture. The decision about my life are strongly influenced by my city. The architecture inside the city, contains buildings and structures which came from Byzantine, Genoese, Ottoman, and modern Turkish sources. The city has many architecturally significant buildings.

Istanbul has a strong historical and artistic cultural identity and have incredible harmony with each other. Throughout my life, this logic harmony, within the city, has been my inspiration and amazement. The effect of growing up multicultural and crowded city, with a sharp geographical location, comes with numerous problems. What I like about architecture are the factors, which allow me to join this harmony together.
