Theme: Designing Istanbul: Art, Design, Architecture and Urban Imaginaries
Istanbul is a city of contradictions and continuities — a layered metropolis shaped by its diverse histories, identities, and transformations. This issue invites critical, creative, and practice-based contributions that explore how Istanbul is imagined, represented, and transformed through art, design, and architecture.
We seek articles, case studies, visual essays, and theoretical discussions that address the aesthetic, spatial, and cultural dynamics of Istanbul as both a subject and medium of design. From contemporary architectural interventions to artistic practices in public space, from graphic and product design inspired by the city’s everyday life to visual narratives of memory and belonging — this issue aims to map how Istanbul continues to function as a complex, contested, and inspiring design context.
