Since 2003, Arkitera Architecture Center has been inviting more than 25 internationally known architects to Istanbul to share their professional aspects and projects. Now, in 2010 the ARKIMEET series gains a new dimension with the support of BUILDIST.
The four of the first conferences to be held in the first half of 2010 focus on qualified architectural production owners from countries located near Turkey. Respectively from Croatia, Russia, Iran and Egypt, these countries’ noted architects will share their experiences of architecture which are less known in the global world of architecture, but also as much exciting, with Turkish colleagues.
Supported by BUILDIST, another event of Arkitera Architecture Center, the new series of ARKIMEET conferences hosts especially the architects from the countries about which we have very limited information of architectural production environment, but are in contrast also located near Turkey geographically. Thus, instead stars from global architectural media, qualified and interesting productional processes of architecture from near countries are brought to Istanbul, which is the aim of the events.
Supported by BUILDIST, the fourth conference of the series will be held on May 11th, on 7 p.m., its guest being Yury Grigoryan, the founder of Project Meganom, one of the most noted offices in Russia. The event is both organized at the Beşiktaş campus of Bahçeşehir University and also supported by the institution.
Until BUILDIST on September 30th – October 3rd, at least four ARKIMEET conferences will be organized. For detailed information and programmes, visit www.arkimeet.org for ARKIMEET and www.buildist.com.tr for BUILDIST.
