BEING AN ARCHITECT IN ISTANBUL
Cities are formed from a single topographic formation to present urban embodiment by their own evolution. However, not all cities evolve by sustaining the past or articulating the previous city layers. The chronological image in the citizen’s memories, where the formation is not processed according to historical sustainability and regular development as expected, is folded as described in the Istanbul example.
Istanbul’s impressive topography and natural beauty has made it all through history as a convenient place for people to live. The city is like a parchment that has been overwritten many times using different scales and methods.
Being an architect in Istanbul usually means; to produce and express an urban scenario within a single time frame that is a blurred image of all the space, socio-cultural and lifestyle layers.
