FRIENDS OF GLOBAL STUDIO

Global Studio Istanbul alumni, academics, professionals and community members are invited to take part in various events as Friends of Global Studio. As Global Studio aims to be an on-going teaching and action research project with an emphasis on participatory design and planning, friends with these interests, experience or expertise and a concern for improving the lives of the urban poor are especially welcome. Some UBC accommodation will be reserved for Friends of Global Studio. For those wanting accommodation, please indicate the preferred dates in your expression of interest.
