Yapı Tech Garage - Product Experience Zone
Yapı Tech Garage & Product Experience Zone has been reimagined this year as a curatorial experience that moves beyond presenting materials as products, and instead positions them as tools for decision-making, connection, and impact. In this approach, material is not merely a visible surface; it becomes something to touch, to feel, and to think with. The visitor is no longer a passive observer, but an active participant in the experience. Over the course of three days, five ex

Bir Tasarım Problemi - From Cappadocia to Venice
Mono Earth co-founder Çağlar İşbilir was invited to speak at Bir Tasarım Problemi , sharing the story behind the “İn” installation presented at the Venice Architecture Biennale . The talk began with a simple yet powerful idea: to understand earth not just as a surface we step on, but as a layered material shaped over millions of years. Drawing from the sedimentary landscapes of Cappadocia , the presentation unfolded as a journey—from the ground we inhabit, to the spaces we

Sustaindex Talks - Vitra
We were invited by Vitra to join Sustaindex Talks , a YouTube series that brings together different perspectives on sustainability. In this conversation, we spoke about our relationship with earth—not only as a material, but as a way of thinking, making, and relating. For us, sustainability cannot be reduced to a single definition. It is closely tied to how we live, how we produce, and how we engage with material, time, and energy. Working with earth introduces its own rhyth

Mercado Design Days
Mercado Design Days brought together different practices, disciplines, and ways of thinking under one roof. Throughout the days, the space shifted between being a display, a meeting point, and a conversation ground—where objects, people, and ideas moved in and out of each other. For the exhibition, we presented a modular version of Monolith. Instead of a fixed composition, it existed as a system—open to reconfiguration, responding to the space and the moment. As we installed

Creative Collaborations - On Making Together
Creative Collaborations is a podcast series that brings together people and collectives working across different creative fields. But what makes this conversation meaningful for us was not the projects themselves—it was everything happening around them. In this episode, we talked about what it means to produce together. About how collaborations begin, how they evolve, and sometimes how they struggle. About communication, shared intuition, and the invisible dynamics that shape
