An Unfinished Encyclopedia of Scale Figures Without Architecture is a fascinating collection of over 2000 scale figures drawn by over 200 architects, compiled by MOS Architects into a single hefty tome. For the Biennial, the figures were also applied to a bright green satin curtain that wrapped the space. Photography: Sahir Ugur Eren

“我们是人类吗？”“伊斯坦布尔设计双年展的第三版，目前正在该市发生的紧急问题。由学者Beatriz Colomina和Mark Wigley所主持的《双年展》展示了250多名参加者对二人撰写的策展宣言的回应。

韦格利在上周的展览开幕式上警告说，不要认为设计世界属于设计师。“今天设计师在设计中所扮演的角色可能是最小的。”这一理论反映在双年期贡献者的不同职业中，包括艺术家、科学家、实验室、中心、研究所、理论家、电影制作者、历史学家、编舞家、非政府组织和考古学家。

他们对Colomina和威格利的邀请是一个概念和思想的浪潮，被划分成四个“云”或类别——身体、行星、生命和时间——每一个，策展人指出，一个足够广泛的主题来填补它自己的两年期，但所有的互连。

此次展览由伊斯坦布尔文化艺术基金会主办，由ENKA基金会、Petkim和Vitra Global赞助。此次展览跨越全城的五个地点，有70多个项目带领游客体验各种想法，从森林砍伐和难民危机等紧迫的全球问题转向我们对移动设备的困扰。馆长们指出，“我们物种的印记在环境的各个方面都有。”

尽管有悲观和灾难的存在，展示是一种乐观的体验；一种对可能性的庆祝，强调设计一次可能是严肃的。韦格利说：“当生活艰难时，你应该谈论设计；而不是当你感到富有、放松时，你需要一个新的咖啡壶来展示给你的朋友们。”“你也可以想出你自己的回应，也许你不同意你在这里看到的几乎所有的东西，你会开始产生一个新的想法，如果访客心中有新的想法，我们将感到非常荣幸。”

The walls, floor and ceiling of this gallery space have been covered by artist Annett Zinsmeister in wallpaper digitally printed with hundreds of tower block windows. By turning the exterior of a building inwards, Zinsmeister brings the viewers attention to the way that we personalise our domestic space, posing questions about communication and social interactions.

‘We live inside design like the spider who lives inside the web that it’s constructed from it’s own body,’ explained Mark Wigley at the show’s opening. Nowhere was this better demonstrated than within Joyce Hsiang and Bimal Mendis’ ‘City of 7 billion’ where two vast web-like drawings suspended from the ceiling chart the traces of roads, shipping lanes, flight paths and submarine cable across the globe.

Composed of a series videos around a curtained dance floor, Köçek Dance Floor by Mona Mahall and Asi Serbest celebrates the practices, spaces, costumes, objects, and music of the köçek, the young cross-dressing male dancers of Ottoman times. Because of their unclear gender, the köçek became morally offensive figures after Western understanding of sexuality was imported onto pre-colonial Islamic societies during 19th century modernisation.

Noting the irony, Kazma comments, ’The same species blindly pushing the limits of the Earth’s sustainability through over production and consumption are also building a contemporary Noah’s Ark to sustain those who may survive what is to come'

Especially prepared for the biennial at the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, three full galleries at the city’s Alt Design Space showcase huge casts of multiple 8500-year-old Neolithic footprints of the first inhabitants of present-day Istanbul. ‘Emotionally, this is the most important piece in the whole Biennale,’ explain the curators.
