You can reach our final jury presentation from here: nuance
If you question the meaning of nuance, the definiton of nuance is a very slight sensitive difference, a quality of something that is not easy to notice but may be important. We try to reflect our view to our designs. We believe that small changes can have big affects.

Collage about ‘cities’|collage for podcast

New Attempt: We are recording podcast!!!
In Turkish, we say ‘Atla Deve Değil‘ when the situation is exaggerated, like ‘it is not a big deal’ or ‘not rocket science’. It used to say that you do not think something is very difficult to do or understand . We will talk about everything that is popular or something we questioned. Stay tuned or with our way: Hoşça kalın, bizimle kalın!

The City as an Object: Thoughts on The Form of the City – Peter Trummer
Well… Let’s think about the Gestalt psychology, ‘the whole is more than some of its parts.’ It basically talks about things that are not merely a complete aggregate but instead some kind of a whole beyond its parts. So, while discovering the tricky parts of these visuals just think…
Alberti defined the city as a large house and the house as a small city. He defined the relationship of parts to its whole by defining each room of a house as a miniature building.
Peter Trummer discusses the form of the city in the article named as ‘The City as an Object.’ While Trummer is talking on the concept, ‘aggregation of city’, he is referring Alberti’s approach on city. Alberti mentioned the city as a large house and the house as a small city. Since the building or houses are aggregated objects and since Alberti says that city as a large house that’s why city is also an aggregated object.
So Trummer says that the whole house can be seen as an aggregation of various parts. Since Alberti defined the city as a house, it can be understood that a city is a single object. Trummer stated that a house can be understood as an aggregated object which also means that the city as a large aggregated object due to the argument of “the city is a house”.
The city as an object can be interpreted in different ways. The city as a circle, a grid, archipelago, a solid and an aggregated object.
The form of the cities is expressed generally through a figure-ground relationship. However, how can we talk about figure and ground if there isn’t anything like that?
