Architecture, urban design workshop / Multiple cities in Anatolia / with Plantok Project
In 2016, the central government of Turkey changed the status of the villages
and imposed them to be considered as neighborhoods within the urban area.
Gölge (shadow) Seferihisar is a design workshop in search of a critical and
creative thinking process on the urban concept of ‘public space’ in a rural area.
The workshop happened in Turgut Village in the Seferihisar region on the
Eagean Coast of Turkey.
Through explorative walks and meetings in the village looking for the
encounters, the group brought observeation on daily routines and needs. This
search followed by creating a material pool found from surroundings. The
group developed a design concept for there spots on the location where locals
use daily and want to elevate thorugh the ideas of design students. During two
weeks, they installed the developed public space designs.
Gölge Seferihisar intended to share the core experience of the Plankton
Project which is based on designing and producing on-site in cooperation with
the knowledge of local users.
