What is
The Circle?
The Circle is a research and production platform for architecture, design, art and culture.
It focuses on the interactions between architecture and design as well as the disciplines that intersect with them. In this context, it develops projects by coming together with different stakeholders; organizes exhibitions, panels, seminars, workshops, and hosts culture and art projects.
As a multi-layered and multi-disciplinary platform, The Circle is always open to new participants and ideas.
The Circle was founded in 2018!
The Circle was founded in 2018 by Selçuk Avcı, Sanja Jurca Avcı, Markus Lehto, Eda Çarmıklı, Yüksel Demir, Kemal Seyhan, Nurgül Türker, Dilara Tekin Gezginti and Ece Çakır Aidan.
In line with its multidisciplinary structure, The Circle brings together architects, designers, artists, academics and unique people from different disciplines. It creates an ever-expanding creative circle that includes everyone who enjoys research and discovery.
