Join us on a four-day study trip organized by the Danish Architects’ Association’s member-driven network, Inclusivity Platform, in collaboration with the Istanbul Association of Practicing Architects, led by Naime Esra Akin, Associate Professor at Aarhus School of Architecture, BArch, MArch, PhD.
We will explore diversity, equality, and inclusion in architecture through city walks, workshops, and roundtable discussions—a mix of joint activities and time for individual exploration.
Purpose
- Strengthen dialogue on inclusion in architecture between Denmark and Turkey.
- Create a participatory platform for idea development and co-creation.
- Establish long-term professional and cultural collaborations.
- Expected results: joint visual & textual documentation in Istanbul, subsequent exhibition/symposium in Denmark, and a lasting professional network.
- Joint online preparatory meeting (practical and professional preparation).
- Istanbul: each day is divided into two parts — 1. GAME OF MOMENTS (mandatory, guided joint routes) + 2. INDIVIDUAL EXPLORATION (alternative routes for free participation)
- Post-trip: exhibition and symposium in Denmark based on participants’ work.
- Program manager and facilitator, Naime Esra Akin in collaboration with Martine Lynge Lyngesen.
Practical
- Participants: Max. 15 architects (active, creative participation is prioritized).
- Partners/family can participate in the individual exploration activities and leisure program.
- Price: Own payment includes hotel, transportation, and meals. Meetings, guided tours, and other professional activities are free for members of the Danish Architects’ Association or FORUM.
- Hotel discount: Send your registration to Martine Lyngesen to receive a unique booking link and code. If you book elsewhere, please send a request to participate in the trip before booking your hotel.
