founded in 2015, in İstanbul
Designed and realized various projects
in several Anatolian cities in 2015-2016
In 2015, Plankton Project was formed by 9 design students with the question: “How can we develop alternative design proposals to the conventional production of space?” Incorporating the know-how of the local actors and the specialization of various NGO’s Plankton Project produced various common space projects in “terrain vague” and “deprived regions”. The possibility of production with a horizontal workflow was the hopeful aspect in terms of design and geography for the future.
The collective is made up largely of students, who aspire to participate in real-life creative processes that are generally left out of the teachings of today’s academia, which concerns itself first and foremost with theory-based endeavours. The team aims to conduct deeper explorations into the notion of creating as a collaborative act while seeking to derive meaning out of the creative process they each readily partake in as part of their daily lives.
