Rather than keeping related information separated into silos, we believe all reference information should be in one central system, with intelligent tools to search, filter, and share information enterprise-wide.
We hope that enabling users to easily access critical information helps them to quickly and accurately do their research, then have the time to apply that knowledge to creating innovative solutions that help all of us to keep advancing.
This library is just the beginning. As we progress, we hope to provide an array of tools to make life even better.

After moving to the U.S. in 1986, Pelin began using and customizing CAD and developed systems and methods to bring efficiency to design and construction documents. By standardizing building components and automizing the project process, she was able to complete high-rise apartments using small teams in record time.
In 1995, Pelin founded Compu.tecture, Inc to develop MADCAD, a patented software that organizes and delivers cross-referenced industry information from one central location. She invented MADCAD.com's online, view-only subscription system to ensure data is secure and up-to-date, as well as searchable and accessible via mobile devises. As an architect, she tested the system in construction industry first, and hopes to bring the same efficiency to other industries.
Pelin was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey where she earned her Master of Architecture at Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts. She is an award-winning architect who has worked in Istanbul, London and the DC area. She is currently a registered architect in DC and member of AIA, ICC and NFPA.
Zafer Ilgar is the first investor in MADCAD.com. Published in Business Week, Wall Street Journal, books and more, Zafer has become a respected figure in European media.

In 1989, he founded the Berlin media agency TurkMedia, and in 1991, the media planning company TMM. TurkMedia grew to four TV channels, including TRT, all of which reached 45% more Turks than all German channels combined. Both companies were later bought by IPA Plus, owned by the world's largest entertainment group.
In 1995, Zafer invested in Carat Group, Europe's largest media buying and planning company, to create Carat Turkey, where he served as Chairman of the Board. He sold his shares in 1998, and it is now a part of the global digital media and marketing company Aegis Group.
