Istanbul is a unique case with its fragmented and complex layers in regard to its culture, architecture and geography. Working within the sensitive historic contexts of %C4%B0stanbul requires far more than the specialist skills of an architect, conservator and/or city planner. In this regard, this course aims to create a comprehensive understanding of architectural culture of Istanbul in the last two centuries. Composed of two main blocks, the course covers the historical development of the city in form of lectures and excursions. The cumulative objective of the lectures is to focus on 19th and 20th centuries since these two centuries have brought major transformations in Istanbul; the alterations on macro and micro form, skyline, shoreline and the overall urban landscape.The first week covers the historical development of the city until the 1950%E2%80%99s in a chronological sequence of lectures. The lectures will be followed by excursions deepening the understanding of the given information. Five different time periods which are marked by significant architectural/social/political shifts will be introduced and corresponding visible alterations will be experienced. The second week will have a thematic approach by concentrating on topics such as housing, the architecture of money flow, urban spaces etc. These themes will be analyzed and discussed by specialist within the field trips by looking at the contemporary dimensions. The selected topics will supplement the historical overview in the first week as well as bridging these periods and current situations through issues like the reuse of historical fabric, industrial heritage etc. Besides, there will be the chance to meet practicing architects in Istanbul in form of social events and presentations which will give the opportunity to understand the scale and problems of today.OTHER OPTION:Combined Summer School: 1 week Vienna + 2 weeks Istanbul (8 ECTS)1st week Vienna: Austrian Architectural Culture2nd and 3rd week Istanbul: Building Istanbul: Then an Now!Tuition fee for the package:Full: EUR 950Students: EUR 700If you are interested, just write "combined program" in the info field during the registration process or contact us at summerschool@innesvienna.net
