INTERNATIONAL  STUDENT  A/V PROJECT EXHIBITION

SUBJECT & AIM

We are challenging you to develop ideas and strategies that support regenerative and productive urban landscapes to support healthy living.

USE ISTANBUL AS A LIVING LAB for DESIGN INVESTIGATIONS and SOURCE of IDEAS

Investigating the depths of our urban memory, discovering the local potentials and considering the future needs of our ever-increasing population/ever-sprawling metropolitan areas and creating visionary ideas that can be applied to the present and future urban contexts will be evaluated.

Special emphasis is on using and utilising the four elements (earth-water-air-fire) of nature/science of places:

-to revitalise wasted, neglected or lost urban open spaces

-to create productive urban landscapes

-to provide human-nature continuum within the city center

-to support urban ecological systems with energy, food, social networks

-to support public education, economy and health

 

SITES for design investigations and source of ideas

can be selected among the nieghborhoods along Bosphorus, Golden Horn or within the Historical Peninsula
