Hasan Cenk Dereli, Nazlı Ödevci and Fulya Tekin’s project ‘Giysi Takası’ (‘Clothing Swap’) questions the current culture of consumption which sets its grounds in transiency, innovation and creating trends and has an impact, from fashion to architecture, on our daily habits, lifestyles and preferences in design. Today, architecture has become a significant agent to the culture of consumption; it opens to discussion a sustainability concept in which new potentials for use for the currently available structural stock are assessed as an alternative to the speculative estate production which requires that structures or pieces of the city are made obsolete to be replaced with new ones. The first swap is on 21 October 2012, Sunday at Istanbul Modern.

Swap Rules:
1. A maximum of 5 pieces will be taken and 5 pieces will be given during the swap.
2. Worn, torn, ripped, smelly, and dirty clothes will not be accepted. Swap staff will be checking the clothes.
