A Design Problem brought together design enthusiasts once again in its new season and new venue. Through the creative solutions they developed for the challenges encountered in their projects at different scales, the speakers inspired the audience. At the event organized by ArcheThink, Kurtul Erkmen, Ayça Taylan, and Tamer Nakışçı shared the difficulties they faced in their design processes and the innovative solutions they devised to overcome them. In this gathering, three design practices working at different scales presented their creative solutions, developed with a deep respect for İstanbul’s heritage.Tamer Nakışçı shared his project centered around a narrow, unused space squeezed between two buildings in Karaköy, describing it as “an encounter that revitalizes the city’s cultural memory.” Ayça Taylan narrated her design story, reimagining İstanbul’s iconic street vendors within the dynamics of the moderncity. Kurtul Erkmen took the audience through the challenges of transforming the 200-year-old Feshane building into a cultural and arts center.
A Design Problem provides a platform to push boundaries and redefine what is possible. It focuses on the challenges encountered in the design process, where each project embodies unique approaches and innovative solutions tailored by the designer.
The initiative aims to unravel the mystery of the design process by spotlighting a specific challenge faced by designers in their creative journeys.
With three speakers, three problems, and three solutions, the event delved into the depths of the design world. The speakers shared the obstacles they encountered in their design processes and their creative solutions—each within 15 minutes, following a set format.
The sixth edition of the “A Design Problem” series was held with an opening speech and moderation by Selin Uysal.
