In our 7th episode of Threshold, we will be hosting Zuhal and Carlos the cofounders of OPENACT studio. OPENACT is a multiple design practice that operates within the fields of architecture and urbanism. Conceived as part-laboratory and part-workshop, OPENACT employs research as a performative act in architecture and envisions the design of open-ended systems as the basis for adaptable, flexible and organic infrastructures, across a multitude of scales that support and promote contemporary urban life. Recent work and research focus on strong design relationships between public realm, infrastructure, and the environment.
Led by Zuhal Kol and Carlos Zarco Sanz, OPENACT has received several international and national awards in multiple architecture, urbanism and design competitions. In addition to the implemented and on-going projects of OPENACT, the productions of the studio operate through diverse media and platforms ranging from exhibitions, publications, research, and academic work. The founders Zuhal Kol and Carlos Zarco Sanz are active collaborators in various academic institutions and are currently Adjunct Professors of Architectural Design Studio in Istanbul Technical University, ITU Faculty of Architecture.
The studio’s work has been exhibited in numerous venues across Spain and Turkey, as well as the United States, Croatia, Poland, Portugal, Italy, Argentina, and China. Their projects, academic research and creative works have been published in several books, peer-reviewed journals, and various online platforms.
