Design Biennial walks

ISTANBUL

The Istanbul Design Biennial is hosting a walk geared at visiting the designers, bookstores and prominent architectural structures located in the most lively and dynamic center of Istanbul. This design walk interprets the monumental historical structures through a contemporary repertoire. It draws participants’ attention to several beautiful structures that they encounter every day, yet do not appreciate, from a design point of view. The participants will be hosted in one of the rare venues that focus on food design in Istanbul and visit furniture designers in their workshops. Starts at 10:00 a.m. at Tünel Square.
