logo for Sour Studio

Pinar Guvenc, a partner at Sour Studio, joins Tim for a discussion on how this consultancy does their Architecture, Interior Design, Product Design, and Public Spaces work. They are a hybrid design studio with the mission of addressing social and urban problems through sustainable and inclusive methodologies. We discuss Sour’s use of co-creation panels and extended collaboration with all the diverse stakeholders on their projects, as well as a case study in public space design they did in Taksim Square in Istanbul, Turkey. Sour is proud to say they work “with” clients and stakeholders, not “for”.

Check out their work on making accessibility a priority in product design with their Degree Inclusive antiperspirant packaging and their ADA 1.0 clothing form that helps retailers make fashion accessible to people with disabilities.
