Beyond The Known Practices of Architecture

The applications for the Emerging Architects Selection & Exhibition (GEMSS'21), organized by The Circle in İstanbul, Turkey, with an open call that invited all creative practices that contribute to the architectural culture to apply, ended on September 15th, resulting in a wide participation. Among the applicants are individuals and teams consisting of architects, artists, designers and academics who aim to contribute to the architectural culture and cultural environment from 11 countries from different geographies. 

131 candidates who applied to GEMSS'21 had the opportunity to represent themselves with a total of 82 works and portfolios. While 28 of the 82 applications were team applications, 54 were individual applications. Thanks to qualified applications  from many different countries of the world and many cities of Turkey, GEMSS'21 reached the national and international diversity it has targeted and continues to grow its community as one of the most inclusive and effective architectural organizations in İstanbul.

The evaluation results of the GEMSS'21 selection committee, whose members include Şebnem Yalınay Çinici, Murat Germen, Luca Molinari, Pelin Derviş, Ömer Selçuk Baz, Tülin Hadi and Erden Timur, and which came together under the moderation of Sait Ali Köknar, will be announced at the World Architecture Week.
