What we learned in the field.

We've gathered the real field findings, partnerships and outcomes of the ten projects we've delivered across cities, cultural heritage, smart-city, learning and AI domains. Each title opens onto the full case study on its project page.

P-01 · CITIES

Living City: Small Characters, Big Decisions ↗

Built with the İzmir Planning Agency (İZPA), this interactive table turned sustainable urban planning into a tangible experience using wooden objects and real-time simulation; it has been on permanent display at the İzQ Digital Experience Centre since the exhibition ended.
