| Course Objectives: | This seminar aims to function as a research studio where urban and architectural analysis of selected sites in Istanbul are primarily based on historical reconstruction of these sites and their morphological, social and ethnographic structures. In the early 21st century, when the city of Istanbul is highly endangered under the current changes in urban renewal and reconstruction, students will be encouraged to develop an in-depth analysis of modern urbanism and architecture with a focus on selected buildings' lifespan throughout 20th century. During the course, students will compare the case studies undertaken in Istanbul to other sites and situations in various cities around the world. |
