Trim Tab
Trimtab is the umbrella term for the urban intervention experiment series by ATOLYE︎︎︎. Inspired by Fuller’s emphasis on trim tab.
Overview:
The project was designed for International Flower Festival by Besiktas Municipality in Istanbul-Turkey. The aim was exploring the effect of minimalist, optimized, ecological material sets across public spaces.
Trimtab.1 is the first exploration, where a robust, translucent and wheeled structural framework takes the stage.

The Project
As an urban API, this
superstructure allows variable
placement with three delineated
scenarios (room, corridor, three
islands), coupled with compositional
variety for seating, leaning, and
planting.

This system suggests peace at two different levels: isolation and interaction. On a personal basis, the vertical panels have the capacity to form an oasis in a rather hectic context, thus enabling a peace of mind, even on a fleeting basis. On a communal basis, the shifting field condition enables serendipitous conversations and mutual empathy across strangers.
