Fixers Club prepares pleasant surprises for urban dwellers in the form of street art and furniture
Dogukan Gungor is an industrial engineer by training, but for the last eight years, he has been working as a marketing communications director for a tech company specialising in 3D printers. He and two friends started wondering how they could use the 3D printers for the public good, and came up with the idea of“Our aim was to find ‘bugs’ in the city and fix them using 3D technology,” Gungor tells. “We started on our own initiative and went on like that for a while.
Asked about how many people Fixers Club consists of, Gungor says “right now there are four people at the core of Onaranlar Kulübü. There’s me, there’s Ufuk Emin Akengin, another co-founder, Nilufer Aksu our content coordinator, and last but not least Aytekin Gezici, project coordinator.” Beyond the core group, including volunteers and the design network, their numbers reach around 2000 people.
These interventions are to natural gas boxes, phone boxes, rainwater drainage systems, that look out of place in the city. City Fixers paints them, adds 3D printed sculptures to them, and creates moments of amusement in the city, a touch of colour in otherwise drab neighbourhoods.Gungor admits that sometimes it’s a Sisyphean task: “The works we do as street installations are not very permanent; either they get vandalised or they get taken by people.
