APPROACH

Istanbul’s extensive history can be readily seen in the layers of buildings from many eras that are a major presence throughout the city. To create contemporary architecture in these stratums of the past requires innovative design strategies while understanding the underlying historical currents. The conversion of these historical sites to present-day architectural needs creates the conditions for thought-provoking experiments in contemporary architecture as urban archaeology particular to Istanbul’s urbanism. The past is examined in light of the present with the aim of creating a hybrid solution that gives meaning to both.
