THE EMERGING ARCHITECTS SELECTION & EXHIBITION
GEMSS‘23
The Circle invites creative and young architects to apply for the third edition of the Emerging Architects Selection & Exhibition!
The Emerging Architects Selection & Exhibition (GEMSS), organized every two years, aims to increase the recognition of emerging architects under the age of 40 who will shape the future on national and international platforms and to create an up-to-date archive of practices that contribute to the architectural culture of Turkey.
GEMSS has an inclusive structure open to all individual, team and multidisciplinary practices that have produced and published works in architectural, intellectual, scientific, artistic and social dimensions. The program emphasizes the diversity of architecture by making visible the focus and alternatives of the productions of emerging practices who will shape the future of architecture.
The Open Call of GEMSS’23 is starting very soon!
