Celâleddin Çelik

Celâleddin Çelik is a Turkish architect and the founder of NUN Architecture & Design, based in Istanbul and London, internationally recognized for his architectural works grounded in cultural context and marked by strong conceptual depth.

His practice is situated at the intersection of contemporary design and cultural continuity. Focusing on reinterpreting architectural heritage through a refined and timeless spatial language, Çelik has led the design and realization of numerous significant public and cultural projects in Turkey and around the world.

His work is distinguished by a meticulous approach to material, proportion, and spatial memory, and is based on an understanding that integrates traditional building knowledge with contemporary construction techniques.

Beyond architecture, Çelik maintains a deep engagement with the tradition of Ottoman–Turkish classical music, carrying the concepts of rhythm, structure, and improvisation into his spatial design thinking. Through this interdisciplinary approach, he positions architecture not merely as a field of technical production, but also as a cultural and intellectual practice.
