All eyes are currently on Turkey with Istanbul's status as European
Capital of Culture 2010. It makes it a pertinent moment to take
stock and to look at Turkey's past, present and future, bringing
the nation's cultural renaissance and evolution to the fore
internationally. Since the early 2000s, Turkey has undergone a
remarkable economic recovery, which has been accompanied by urban
development and a cultural flowering. Positioned between an
expanding European Union and an unstable Middle East, the country
provides a fascinating interface between the Occident and the
Orient. Taking into account the current political concerns with
consolidating Eastern and Western cultures, Turkey is poised at a
vital global crossroads: * Tackles aspects of globalisation and the
potential threat that a rapid rolling out of an overly homogenised
built environment poses to rich local building traditions that are
founded on specific, climatic, knowledge and cultural diversity.*
Provides an analytical approach that highlights specific aspects of
Turkey's rich heritage and current design culture.* Features work
by established and emerging design practices in Turkey.*
Contributors include Tevfik BalcIoglu, Gulsum Baydar, Edhem Eldem,
Tolga islam, Zeynep Kezer, Ugur Tanyeli, ilhan Tekeli and Banu
Tomruk.
