The impact of a space where we feel good is often the result of a designer’s careful orchestration. By harmonizing light, shadow, color, and spatial arrangement, a designer crafts more than just an area—they design an experience. The eighth edition of "A Design Problem" focused on the ways design establishes atmosphere. At the intersection of architecture, industrial design, and game design, three speakers from different disciplines shared how they perceive space and transform that perception into a tangible experience.

Eray Dinç’s "Nazar" blends traditional Anatolian narratives with science fiction and mysticism, offering an interactive structure built with real-life imagery. Utilizing actual footage of the city, the work explores a video game's potential to construct a spatial experience through a framework where design evolves into play.
Merve Nur Sökmen’s presentation tells the story of how design transforms a space through a human-centered approach. Focusing on the impact of invisible design decisions on a space’s atmosphere, the work examines the transformation of experiences that shift according to personal needs.
In this project by Ömer Selçuk Baz, the story of the city is transformed into the building itself, processing Manisa’s liberation history through an architectural lens. This process, where a historical timeline evolves into design, is presented as a narrative experienced within the space.
