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).

The Golden Horn

The Golden Horn

When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
