Zeynep Topal Workshops

Zeynep Topal is a developing architect and computational designer based in Istanbul. She gained significance in a short amount of time ever since she started her initiative called ZETZDEZIGN, where she published her conceptual works pointing to a futuristic architectural aesthetic that she had developed with computational tools she has practiced with different software and the workflow between each of them. As she believes there are no constraints on what can be an inspiration when it comes to design, she likes to engage herself with other design disciplines as much as possible, such as procedural art, generative design, visual art, or any concept a software serves to gain a broader vision and sight. She has been producing works based on these particular understandings, and she tries to connect present and future aesthetics and experiences with the references she gets from mostly nature and anything she finds fascinating, as she likes to describe. She has also been collaborating with other designers and trying to implement her design understanding into the jewelry and product design fields.
