Istanbul's First Design Biennial Begins on October ISTANBUL’S FIRST DESIGN BIENNIAL BEGINS ON OCTOBER 13TH In its 40th anniversary, Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts is yet again leading the way in hosting Istanbul’s first Design Biennial. Realized by İKSVn in co-sponsorship of Eren Holding, Koray Group of Companies, Vestel and VitrA, Istanbul Design Biennial will take place between 13 October – 12 Dovember 2012. Istanbul Design Biennial opens its doors on October 13th for two months, with exhibitions and events exploring creative products and projects from all disciplines of the creative industries in major fields from urban design, architecture, industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, new media design, and is ready to set the stage for Istanbul as a city of design. Istanbul Design Biennial will take place in two distinct exhibition spaces under the curatorship of Emre Arolat and Joseph Grima, within the framework of the theme “Imperfection”, as suggested by Deyan Sudjic, Istanbul Design Biennial advisory board member and Director of the Design Museum in London. Emre Arolat’s exhibition “Musibet” in Istanbul Modern and Joseph Grima’s exhibition “Adhocracy” in Galata Greek Primary School will bring together roughly 100 projects of more than 200 designers and architects from 46 countries, with works ranging from random objects, video installations, models, open air settings and photographs to interactive works where visitors can create their own designs. Along with main exhibitions in two venues, events will be spread across the city through Academic Programme, Workshops, Paralel Participants’ Events and Design Walks. Biennial will present different axes of debate on design to the attention of Istanbul’s cultural life through the Film Screenings, debates and panels. All the events and exhibition venues of the Istanbul Design Biennial will be tracable through the Creative City Map of Design Biennial. ISTANBUL DESIGN BIENNIAL EXHIBITIONS EMRE AROLAT: “MUSİBET” ISTANBUL MODERN Curated by Emre Arolat, “Musibet” congregates more than 30 projects of 95 designers and architects exploring and questioning today’s Istanbul in terms of its current planning and urban transformation. Defined as an “installment” by the curator in consideration of the selected works and their positioning visa vis the exhibition venue, “Musibet” is intended to serve as a platform for new questions rather than finding answers. In displaying in a custom designed 1,400 metre square venue with multi-fold reflections of musibet (calamity) through various works of modelings, video, photography and interactive games, the idea of “design not being a phenomenon that is far from daily life that legitimizes everything it touches” will be underlied. Under the topic “Transformation”, the urban transformation projects will be put on the table which these days are on top of the agenda as a sort of calamity with the coming into force of the urban transformation law and the efforts of gentrification. A sort of imposition of identity coming into picture with the recently built courthouses, schools and administrative buildings, along with the massive social housing projects developed by TOKI as one of the actors of this process will be analysed in juxtaposition to each other. On the other hand, under the heading “Anti-Context” the parallels in the universal consent, the changes in new technologies, architectural and fashion design practices of the new world will be debated. JOSEPH GRIMA: “ADHOCRACY” PRIVATE GALATA GREEK PRIMARY SCHOOL The exhibition curated by Joseph Grima which is dynamic, innovative and defies the the traditional processes between the designer, user and producer takes its name “Adhocracy” from the opposite of bureaucracy. Along with the products and objects of close to 120 designers and architects, projects, videos and photography works along with modelings and their prototypes customarily prepared for the biennial will be exhibited in a field across 2,300 metre square wide in all the floors of the Private Galata Greek Primary School. The exhibition that reinterprets the act of design in its economic and political context harbors many interactive installations where visitors can create their own designs, along with projects revealing that creativity can now be captured with many elements surrounding us as the end users are increasingly becoming part of the production processes. Novel and abrupt creative processes like the open source movement and the emergence of cultural operators will also meet the audience through the exhibition. The concept “Adhocracy” will be open to debate in debates and panels to take place at the ground floor of the Private Galata Greek Primary School for two months period. ISTANBUL DESIGN BIENNIAL SPREADS ALL AROUND THE CITY WITH VARIOUS EVENTS DURING TWO MONTHS Istanbul Design Biennial will spread across the city with the academic programs, workshop exhibitions, seminar programs, film screenings program and the parallel participants’ events.

By inserting one structure into another at the Savoy Ulus clubhouse, Autoban demonstrates the power of architecture and interior design working in tandem.

  • EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture/Mies Van Der Rohe Awards
    Since 1988, the European Commission and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe of Barcelona have been jointly responsible for the biennial European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award. The proposals made for each prize submitted by the nominators – the experts, the national architects associations and the advisory committee – are used by the Jury to arrive at its decisions on the Prize Winner, the Emerging Architect Winner and a broad selection of shortlisted works to disseminate European architecture by means of catalogues, exhibitions, lectures and debates. In 2013, the 13th Award coincided with its 25th anniversary. In the course of these 25 years, the Fundació has organised thirteen Awards and built up a database of nearly 2,500 nominated works, one of the largest archives on contemporary architecture, consisting of photographs, drawings, digital and audiovisual materials and models. The 14th Award received 420 nominated works, from amongst which the Jury members shortlisted 40 projects. Five finalist works competed for the Prize, and one Emerging Architect was chosen.

They were there to remove two of its most illustrious occupants: portraits that Raphael painted around 1504-1505. The two canvases, which show a Florentine merchant, Agnolo Doni, and his wife, Maddalena Strozzi, were gingerly carried through a nearly half-mile-long passageway that links the Pitti to the Uffizi.
