Plankton Project

Architecture, Urban Design Collective / Multiple cities in Anatolia / with Plantok Project

In an environment confined with conventional perspective where the “potentials of the architecture” is neglected, Plankton Project is standing out as a collective believing in the large impacts of the small-scaled subjects, allowing for an approach consisting of laboratory research disciplines where they can create their designs regarding these subjects.

Plankton Project is formed by 9 design students in 2015 with the inception of a municipal bus stop project and went on to collaborate with various civic groups operating around Turkey. With a focus on bringing an alternative approach to traditional place-making practices, Plankton Project expands and shrinks to accommodate persons from various disciplines according to the necessities of each project.

Willing to take more part in life excluding the present activities of the academic education focusing on mounting constant arguments, this formation aims to perform in-depth researches through a collaborative understanding. It pays attention and aspires to understand and give meaning to the classical design process, proceeding as a routine in their lives.
