Where city streets meet outer space.

In collaboration with LEGO Türkiye, we launched Urban Space—a series of street installations that transformed everyday neighborhoods into playful portals to the galaxy.

From Nişantaşı to Moda, Abbasağa to Müze Gazhane, we dropped space-themed artworks inspired by LEGO’s iconic imagination. Think: 3D-printed aliens, tiny starships, curious planets—nestled into the heart of your daily route.

These public installations weren’t just for show. They were designed to spark curiosity and creativity in kids (and kids-at-heart). Each piece invited young explorers to reimagine their city as part of a larger, cosmic adventure.

We asked:
 “What does the space you imagine look like?”
 And 374 children answered—with galaxies made of candy, dancing robots, and stars that tell jokes.
Winning designs were reimagined by illustrator Dilara Akbal, turned into unique artworks, and displayed as vibrant collages in LEGO store windows. To top it off, the drawings came to life via a custom augmented reality (AR) experience—because dreams deserve a digital dimension too.


Urban Space was more than a public art project. It was a full-scope experience that blended imagination, play, urban life, and interactive storytelling.
 And the journey isn’t over yet. There’s still a spaceship waiting for you on a corner you haven’t turned.
