KENET explores smart city lighting elements as urban energy sharing devices. Taking its inspiration from the eclectic composition of İstanbul the concept focuses on integration, intersection, combination, sharing and coexistence of diversity.
The poles consist of various modules that reflect the functional needs as well as mood and comfort preferences of all living creatures that energize the city. The project aims to sustain its presence by adapting to ever changing technologies and needs and cares about design details that speak to citizens and make them feel understood and supported.
