Workshop: Soft Space

Salt Galata

November 2, 2013 11.00 – 16.00

SALT Galata, Workshop II-III



Digital media, which becomes more fluent and dynamic with new technologies, changes our experience and perception of space, by providing more and more products that we use in our daily lives. As a result of this change the big, heavy and solid infrastructure projects of the modern age are replaced with more subtle and ephemeral alternatives.

SALT Interpretation invites college students to “Soft Space” workshop to focus on specific questions such as “Is it possible to create a soft and smooth space?”, “How could we describe space without solid elements?” and “What are the ways of finding intermediate values between solid and soft proposals that can help define space?” The workshop will be led by architects Alper Derinboğaz, Ömer Kanıpak and Salih Küçüktuna.

During the workshop, students will work both digitally and manually by creating planes, lines and different spaces using laser pointers and mirrors. The participants are expected to bring their own laptops and 3D design programs such as 3DS Max, Maya, Rhino and Cinema 4D.

The workshop will be held in Turkish and is limited to 20 students.
