what.is.Istanbul?
Istanbul is unordinary city with special characteristics. City positioned on two continents, city of different cultures, different religions, bosphorus and etc. If you want to be a tutor on MEDS Istanbul 2011 you should think about Istanbul. Think about geography, history, culture and religion.

The main thing to consider is relation between Europe and Asia.. Two different continents joined in one point. Think about Istanbul as an connection between them. Try to create bridge between Europe and Asia. Bridge as a relation of differences, similarities and specifies.

The other important thing is location. Projects will be placed on different points in Istanbul. Your idea should become practical and attractive propositions for users. Projects should be designed attractive as an object itself and it has to fit in specific place.
