Burak Bek is an architect who graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at IZTECH, Türkiye. In practice he worked on projects from concept to implementation with BIM tools. He co-founded the Mockingbird YouTube Channel, which offers informative tutorials on various software. He completed his Master's in Resource Efficiency in Architecture and Planning at HafenCity University Hamburg, with a focus on sustainable solutions in architecture and urban planning.

In the EU Horizon project CIRC-BOOST, he works on reconstructing buildings from point clouds and on the semantic enrichment of 3D city models for urban material stock analysis. He also coordinates the Zukunft Bau project MV_BIM (Minimal Viable BIM), which investigates which information BIM models need for the renovation of Hamburg's school buildings and how far automated methods can help.

His interests include AI applications in architecture, automated BIM generation, semantic city models and sustainable construction.
