%X This paper aims to discuss how ¡°the discourse of creative labor¡± is being reproduced as an apparatus of exploitation in the architectural labor processes of twenty-first-century Turkey through ¡°architect-workers.¡± The discourse of creative labor has deepened the exploitation of architect-workers, as all workers, and defines the very privileged position of architect-boss in relation to other laborers. This exploitation became visible both in Turkey and worldwide through the comments of architects¡ªwho are both bosses of their architecture firms and so-called starchitects¡ªabout their own positions and practices. In addition, twenty-first-century architecture in Turkey can be criticized for the increasing precarity that has stemmed from the processes of yapsat£¿£¿l£¿k and mega-projects. To cope with this exploitation, ¡°the discourse of creative labor¡± can also be reproduced by architect-workers. Consequently, this paper aims to provide ground on which to problematize the architect-worker as a member of the working class, as well as in the context of a discourse on creative labor and its exploitative use in the labor processes of architecture
