Poetic and political, Strayed Homes invites architects, interior designers, and urbanists to think again about common concepts in architecture – ‘private’, ‘public’ and ‘home’. Whereas most writing about the public/private focusses on urban space, this book focusses on the domestic – exploring those overlooked, everyday places where private and intimate activities take place in public. With four chapters set in four small, liminal spaces: the launderette, the greasy spoon, the fire escape, and the sleeper train - the book is part architectural history, part cultural history. It follows a series of allusions and impressions, to explore how films, adverts, books and anecdotes shape experiences of everyday architecture. Making a case for the poetic interpretation of space, the book can be used as a sourcebook for architects, designers, and theorists alike – prompting the reader to rethink the emotional state of leaving home, intimacy in public, and lonely dreaming.
The chapbook of the Third Annual Nazim Hikmet Poetry Festival opens with a paper given by the festival's guest speaker, Murat Nemet-Nejat: "Eda, Intimations from Turkish Poetry." The rest of the chapbook is dedicated to poems submitted by the winners of the poetry competition. The festival and the poetry competition were organized by American Turkish Association of North Carolina. The festival, which took place on April 17, 2011 in Cary, NC was made possible by a major grant from the Turkish Cultural Foundation. The festival organizers were Buket Aydemir, Pelin Bali, Mehmet C. Ozturk and Birgul Tuzlali.
