[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]The Great Game Istanbul: Architectural Design Theory Studio<\/span><\/i> brings together participants based in Istanbul and students at Politecnico di Torino in a shared process of architectural design, urban research, and critical reflection. <\/span>The open call aims to select 13 participants<\/b>, each of whom will join a group of Politecnico di Torino students and contribute to its research and design work throughout the semester.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working locally in Istanbul, participants will bring direct observations and knowledge of the study area in Kartal into their groups\u2019 projects. This collaboration connects research undertaken on site with the work of the Torino studio, creating opportunities to exchange perspectives, negotiate approaches, and make design decisions together.<\/span><\/p>\n

The studio offers participants experience in an international, collective design process while developing their ability to translate urban research into architectural proposals. The semester will conclude at the end of January with <\/span>a joint publication and exhibition presenting the work developed across the two studios<\/b>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]A joint studio by Politecnico di Torino and AURA \u0130stanbul<\/b><\/p>\n

The Great Game Methodology<\/b><\/h3>\n

Architectural design is a collective and political process, yet studios often present the architect as a lone author. In practice, ideas are negotiated with politicians, experts, investors, and communities, evolving through the contributions and decisions of those who shape space.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Game<\/span><\/i> brings this process into architectural education. Participants develop strategies, negotiate interests, and build alliances while exploring how institutional and economic conditions influence the implementation of architectural ideas. Developed at <\/span>Politecnico di Torino, Department of Architecture and Design<\/b>, and tested over five years in Detroit, Stazzema, Kiruna, and Belgrade<\/strong>, the methodology was a finalist for the <\/span>2024 EAAE Pedagogy Awards<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The studio centres on Kartal \u2014 a district in active transformation, with regulatory conditions well suited to the game. Students respond to real spatial, regulatory, and stakeholder challenges at the intersection of architectural vision and metropolitan politics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here the city is the gameboard: a bounded field of competing interests and incomplete information. The stakes must be real \u2014 constraints that hold, actors with institutional weight, conditions that resist easy answers.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iLyEYrEFGoM”][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”48px”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FTpgpURj1n0&t=2144s”][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”48px”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U9X8GmMwmV0&t=2s”][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”48px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1790859032635{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE STUDIO<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]Building on <\/span>The Great Game<\/span><\/i> methodology, the studio explores how architectural projects take shape amid changing urban conditions, multiple actors, and competing interests. Taking <\/span>Kartal, Istanbul<\/b>, as its case study, participants will develop design strategies through site research, game-based exercises, drawings, discussion, and successive design iterations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The program connects two strands: <\/span>design action<\/b> and <\/span>reflection on design action<\/b>. Game-based exercises introduce changing circumstances and different positions into the design process. Architectural design work allows groups to test spatial responses to those circumstances and develop them into proposals. Lectures, readings, and reviews provide opportunities to examine the reasoning behind design decisions and their possible effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Istanbul studio will place a stronger emphasis on architectural design development, with approximately 70% of its work devoted to design and 30% to game-based exercises.<\/b> Participants will use insights from the game to develop and refine architectural proposals grounded in the conditions of Kartal.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][vc_gallery images=”17190,17189,17187″ interval=”3″][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][vc_gallery images=”17188,17191,17192″ interval=”3″][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”42px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1790867146787{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Each participant selected through AURA \u0130stanbul will join a group working at Politecnico di Torino, contributing as a locally based collaborator with access to the study area. Site observations, documentation, and contextual research undertaken in Istanbul will become part of the groups\u2019 shared design process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Collaboration across Istanbul and Torino will require participants to communicate ideas clearly, engage with different perspectives, and take responsibility for a collective project. Through this exchange, they will encounter approaches and references shaped by different educational and urban contexts and develop skills in working together across locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Desk reviews will take place separately within each studio, allowing the Istanbul and Torino teaching teams to support their students\u2019 work locally. Joint online seminars will be held at intervals throughout the semester, bringing the two studios together for shared learning and discussion.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]What Will Participants Explore?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The studio will combine group work, individual contributions, site research, lectures, readings, desk reviews, and discussions with guest instructors. Participants will be encouraged to connect theoretical positions with the practical choices they make together.<\/p>\n

Throughout the program, participants will consider:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • How can architectural design respond to uncertain and changing urban conditions?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • How can local observations and site research inform a shared design process across locations?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • How do different actors and interests influence the direction of a project?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • How can a group develop a shared strategy while making room for different perspectives?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • What happens to a proposal when new constraints or opportunities emerge?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • How can drawings, texts, and visual material communicate both design decisions and the process behind them?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    By the end of the program, participants are expected to be able to:<\/span><\/p>\n

      At the end of January, the two studios will bring their work together in a joint publication and exhibition<\/strong>, presenting the groups\u2019 research, design processes, and architectural proposals for Kartal. Drawings, texts, and visual documentation will trace how initial observations and game-based strategies have evolved into spatial proposals throughout the semester.<\/p>\n

      The publication and exhibition will also offer an opportunity to reflect on the collaborative process between Istanbul and Torino: how local knowledge has informed the projects, how different perspectives have shaped design decisions, and how ideas have developed through negotiation and exchange. Together, they will create a shared record of the studio\u2019s work and open its findings to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

It follows that all projects are susceptible to the vicissitudes of contingent encounters and unexpected roadblocks.
