📌 April 17 – "New Matrix of Architecture"
Artificial intelligence, computational design, parametric modeling, and the digitalization of construction processes are reshaping the architectural landscape.
Discussions focused on how AI-driven design is transforming creativity, the flexibility and efficiency provided by parametric modeling, and the impact of 3D printing on construction methods.
Co-Curator: Hamid Hassanzadeh, Founder of Parametric Architecture

📌 April 18 – "Designing Impact"
Design today extends beyond aesthetics and functionality; it has the power to drive environmental, economic, and social change.
Topics included waste reduction, recycling practices, and community engagement within construction processes, all discussed within the framework of the impact economy and sustainable approaches.

Co-Curator: Oğul Can Öztunç, Co-Founder of Piknik Works

Throughout the exhibition, trends shaping the future of the construction industry, innovative projects, and inspiring success stories took center stage.
Visitors found valuable insights and inspiration across a broad spectrum — from material technologies to sustainable architecture, and from building design to new business models.

GOLDEN MAGNET STAND DESIGN AWARDS

Trade fairs, which are among the most effective marketing and market-learning activities, are platforms with high expected return on investment for industry companies and professionals. In these highly competitive environments, booth design — which physically enables differentiation and strengthens visibility in the promotion and marketing of products and services — is one of the key tools companies use to make a strong impression. In booths designed smartly, functionally, and aesthetically in line with technology and design trends, the connection established with the product, the effective highlighting of the product’s desired qualities, and the organization of the booth as a three-dimensional design object are particularly noteworthy features.

Within this competitive environment, booth designs that enable differentiation and enhance visibility serve as important opportunities for products and services to leave the desired impact.
With this vision, companies that transform their brands and products into an attraction point for visitors through their booth designs have been honored with the prestigious Golden Magnet Award — a tradition of the Yapı Fuarı - TurkeyBuild Istanbul.

YAPI MASTER CLASS – SPECIAL EXHIBITON TOURS

This is a special fair tour project where, by pre-registering sector professionals, a group was formed to visit exhibitor booths for two days, accompanied by architects. The tour included thematic discussions on different topics, aiming to achieve high-level knowledge and networking.

During the Yapı Fuarı – Turkeybuild Istanbul 2025, which took place from April 16-19, the Architectural Master Classes met visitors with its special program, including visits to material companies' booths and interviews with master architects and engineers.

“Yapı Master Class - Architectural Master Classes and Special Exhibition Tours” provided a networking and knowledge-sharing environment through visits to booths at the fair, thematic discussions during the walk, and presentations by master architects and engineers, all within the framework of designated themes.
