What would be the place of satellite dishes or air conditioning units in modern architecture? The workshop, which focuses on the altered and artificial texture of Istanbul's apartment buildings due to user intervention, produces three-dimensional works that evoke both the complexity and personality of the city. Instead of Istanbul's conventional apartment forms, the workshop explores building forms that reflect Bauhaus school. Participants first create their modern structures by combining various geometric shapes and boxes, then make "Istanbulish" interventions on these three-dimensional structures.

About Pley Studio
Pley is a creative design studio that is based on the concept of playfulness. Aiming to help people stretch possibilities and enter the magical circle—namely, a free and playful state of mind—Pley uses open-endedness as a tool. Addressing the concept of 'homo ludens', which advocates that humans are playful beings, Pley serves as a guide to the game, appealing to both children and adults who engage in play.
Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life.
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
