UCTEA Chamber of Architects of Turkey is organizing a series of online conferences called “Designing with People”. With the support of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture program, in these conferences, valuable laureates of the program will be giving lectures talking about their approach in architecture and/or urban planning, their ethical and design approach, and their ideas and development of participation processes. Moderated by Prof. Dr. Deniz İncedayı, President of the Chamber of Architects of Turkey, Prof. Dr. Jana Revedin, Founding President of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, and Marie-Helene Contal, Director of the Department of Cultural Development, Cité de l’Architecture & du Patrimoine will be giving introductory speeches about the award program which started in 2006, and continues under the patronage of UNESCO.
