Istanbulish Traces: Multi-dimensional Intervention

Pera Adult

  • June 30, 2024 / 14:30

What would be the place of satellite dishes or air conditioning units in modern architecture? The workshop, which focuses on the altered and artificial texture of Istanbul's apartment buildings due to user intervention, produces three-dimensional works that evoke both the complexity and personality of the city. Instead of Istanbul's conventional apartment forms, the workshop explores building forms that reflect Bauhaus school. Participants first create their modern structures by combining various geometric shapes and boxes, then make "Istanbulish" interventions on these three-dimensional structures.

Instructor: Pley Studio
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Knowledge of plants and the practice of healing are closely entwined. The toxic or hallucinogenic nature of some roots, and the dangers associated with picking them, conferred a mythical or magical character and power.
