Mimi Kirmaci


Meet me at the letters.
A study of the notion of “knowing a place” and “addition to a space”.

“Things used to be better, because there were no solutions and therefore no problems”.
Marcel Duchamp


This exploration is about implementing the quality and productivity of the lives of pedestrians for the sake of readable, understandable environment by creating humane and enjoyable places to live, work, recreate, grow and raise children without taking the design issue so seriously.

Inspired by movements and daily life in the urban space, such as skateboarding, jogging, biking, shopping, wandering around, baby strolling and long walks through familiar and new environment, and observing the immense amounts of personal expression in public space, the 19th century flaneur and public art, concepts derived from emotions, I planned to create a project, which encourages the urban dweller to appreciate his surroundings with a different approach for the organization of the sidewalk scene.
