The 21st century is known for globalisation and rapid transformations in technology. These transformations also affect architecture
and the urban environment. Developing projections for the future of architecture is becoming more critical in this era, where
the opportunities to adapt to rapid transformations are scarce. This study investigates how to develop future perspectives for
the 21st century. Utopian speculations in the historical process and the 20th century's Futurism movement were examined in
this regard. A collective and multi-future methodology has been developed as a unique approach. In this paper, a multifuture
experimental study was conducted as a daily workshop. In the workshop, seven architecture students from various universities
and different architectural education years studied possible future scenarios for Beşiktaş Fish Market. Students were tasked to
produce designs in compliance with the chronological timeline of the future for the possible transformation of the Beşiktaş Fish
Market. The market, designed by Gökhan Avcıoğlu and GAD in 2009, was accorded the 2012 International Architecture Award and
2014 Archmarathon Crowd. In light of the outcome products obtained from the workshop, it can be stated that a multi-future way
of thinking and collective production contributes to imaginative free play in the architectural design process and is a proposal to
architecture as a possible preparation for the future.
