Workshops, panels, exhibitions, and forums will be held inside the pavilion in Takism Square. Moreover,&nbsp;<em>Convergence Stop</em> will soon be relocated to other locations such as Bak&#305;rko&#776;y Square and Kad&#305;ko&#776;y Square to serve similar purposes.</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/a3/a3dcd7010ef1178306c7ff6524338c8a.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/a3/a3dcd7010ef1178306c7ff6524338c8a.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Photo by Okan Ulusoy.
