APPROACH

Commercial spaces are typically full of life.

For this reason, they need to be easily modified, transformed, dismantled, and installed. Instead of simply decorative changes, we wanted to make a space that could transform and renew itself like a living organism, and this became the Wepublic project in Istanbul’s Akmerkez Mall. We created a fun labyrinth system in the interior that can be given radical changes or small touches and still appear spontaneous and emotive.  The space lacks the usual, boring rhythm and order.  Instead, there are various curvilinear forms that are bright, unexpected, and amorphous.
