Architect Cansu Cürgen (born 1988) and designer Avşar Gürpınar (born 1982), founded the Ambiguous Standards Institute (ASI) in 2014 in Istanbul to investigate how our lives are inevitably shaped and impacted by standards—whether for time, measurements, building components, food, or health care. Most often conceived as a way to maximize efficiency, standards have been envisioned as a way to organize an increasingly complex world.
