ARCHITECTURAL MODEL MAKING IN TURKEY by Pelin DERVİŞ

Furniture Design & Production

Production

 Leveraging the facilities of Bilgi University, we managed the entire production of the project—from material sourcing and 3D modeling to final assembly. We allowed the production techniques to guide the aesthetic output. A key detail was the integration of custom tablet cases within the work desks and self-illuminated display units, providing a seamless digital layer to the exhibition. Through the collaborative efforts of Rahman Çelebi and Mert Onur during logistics and installation, we successfully translated Pelin Derviş’s research into high-precision physical artifacts.

Outcomes

 The furniture provided a professional framework without competing with the archival models. This production-driven process proved that complex functional requirements can be resolved through a minimalist design language. For me, this remains one of the most rewarding experiences—where raw materials met design through personal craftsmanship and a strong spirit of collective collaboration.
