Onur Özman (b. 1988, Antalya) is a Swiss-Turkish architect and electronic music producer based in Zürich, leading his own architecture practice 0101 since 2014.His practice 0101 treats regulations with a spirit of hacker – reinterpreting and bending legal frameworks to unlock new spatial, social, and cultural possibilities. His method embraces instability and transformation, positioning architecture as a continuous negotiation between order and chaos, structure and freedom.He studied architecture at YTU Istanbul and ZHAW Winterthur, later expanding into sound and perception with a degree in Electroacoustic Composition at ZHdK Zürich. Educated in these diverse contexts, and having collaborated with Ateliers Jean Nouvel in Paris, Özman’s projects range from cultural and educational buildings to visionary urban studies, many of which have been recognized in competitions.
Parallel to practice, he contributes to academia and discourse, lecturing at ISCTE Lisbon and teaching at Porto Academy with Studio BAST and Studio DF–DC. His reflections on architecture as a negotiation between form, material, and meaning have been published in TEC21 and Hochparterre.
