The Chamber of Architects Kayseri Branch has been organizing the Kayseri Architecture Festival since 2022, and the third edition will take place in Kayseri, Türkiye, on October 3-5, 2024, with the theme "Retell the Story". This year, the festival is curated by Sevince Bayrak from SO? Architecture and Ideas, who co-curated the Turkish Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennial, where they presented their project, The Carrier Bag Theory of Architecture: Ghost Stories. The festival's theme, 'Retell the Story,' which she proposed, builds on their recent research, broadening the focus from adaptive reuse to retelling architectural narratives from diverse perspectives. The event will feature both local and international speakers, including Christele Harrouk, Editor-in-Chief of ArchDaily. Other notable speakers include Ahmet Sezgin, Cem Sorguç, Chen-Yu Chiu, Elif Çelik, Hayriye Sözen, Kadir Uyanık, Kim Seunghoy, Melis Cankara, Melis Varkal, Merve Gedik, Mucip Ürger, Nevzat Sayın, Zeynep Eres, and Zeynep Hagur, who will share their insights on retelling the stories of built and unbuilt environments.
