About

I’m Esma Irem Kiresci, an architecture and urban design professional based in Milan. I combine strong design thinking with hands-on site experience—supporting construction phases, technical drawing, and detailing—while also working with digital tools for 3D visualization.

I’m particularly interested in architecture’s social role, especially in post-disaster contexts. Alongside studio work, I’ve contributed to competitions and international internships, and I actively create architecture-related content through social media management.
