Asaf Guluzade

Architect Robotic & Designer

I'm an architectural designer with a passion for creating spaces that connect technology, form, and human experience. With a strong foundation in architectural design and spatial thinking, my work expands into computational and robotic systems, exploring how architecture can move, adapt, and respond.

Trained at Yildiz Technical University (BArch, Honours) and UCL's Bartlett School of Architecture (MArch Architectural Design: Robotic Architecture, Distinction), I build interactive prototypes that integrate sensors, robotics and AI, work recognised by the Bartlett's Best Computational Design Award and a UNESCO-partnered Digital Heritage championship. I'm driven by curiosity from concept to construction, always seeking designs that are both intelligent and inspiring.

I currently practice as an Architect at Design Bureau Az in Baku, a multi-competition winner with experience across residential, commercial and restoration projects in Turkey, the UK, Azerbaijan and China. Alongside practice, I am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, investigating intelligent soft robotic technologies for adaptive architectural environments.
