Atelier D'art Urbain
Working in an intricate and contradictory setting like the Brussels cityscape, Atelier d'Art Urbain has managed to combine deep respect for an illustrious local tradition of modernity with a marked propensity for structural and stylistic experimentation placing its architecture at the cutting-edge of the modern-day European design scene.
New Islamist Architecture and Urbanism
New Islamist Architecture and Urbanism claims that, in today’s world, a research agenda concerning the relation between Islam and space has to consider the role of Islamism rather than Islam in shaping – and in return being shaped by – the built environment. The book tackles this task through an analysis of the ongoing transformation of Turkey under the rule of the pro-Islamic Justice and Development Party. In this regard, it is a topical book: a rare description of a political regime's reshaping of urban and architectural forms whilst the process is alive. Defining Turkey’s transformation in the past two decades as a process of "new Islamist" nation-(re)building, the book investigat...
Architecture and the Turkish City
Architecture and urban planning have always been used by political regimes to stamp their ideologies upon cities, and this is especially the case in the modern Turkish Republic. By exploring Istanbul's modern architectural and urban history, Murat Gul highlights the dynamics of political and social change in Turkey from the late-Ottoman period until today. Looking beyond pure architectural styles or the physical manifestations of Istanbul's cultural landscape, he offers critical insight into how Turkish attempts to modernise have affected both the city and its population. Charting the diverse forces evident in Istanbul's urban fabric, the book examines late Ottoman reforms, the Turkish Repub...
L'oro della Turchia
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan è l'architetto della yeni Türkiye, la "nuova Turchia". Nella sola città di Istanbul, sono stati costruiti progetti a dir poco megalomani. In alcune zone, i grattacieli si sono moltiplicati. I centri commerciali sono diventati il segno distintivo di un nuovo modo di vivere. Le comunità residenziali chiuse hanno accentuato il fenomeno della segregazione spaziale. L'urbanizzazione selvaggia ha scardinato il tessuto sociale di interi quartieri. Uno stravolgimento che ha investito non solo le città ma anche i cittadini: la classe media si è allargata e il divario tra ricchi e poveri è aumentato drammaticamente. Tutto questo è l'oro della Turchia voluto fortemente da ...

Orienting Istanbul
Looking at the globalization, urban regeneration, arts events and cultural spectacles, this book considers a city not until now included in the global city debate. Divided into five parts, each preceded by an editorial introduction, this book is an interdisciplinary study of an iconic city, a city facing conflicting social, political and cultural pressures in its search for a place in Europe and on the world stage in the twenty-first century.
Studies on Turkish Politics and Society
This book comprises a collection of articles and essays published in a variety of journals during the past decades, which seek to identify and analyze the main factors in Turkish politics. Political parties, military interventions, international relations and cultural developments are given wide coverage alongside studies on literature.
The New Urban Question
The New Urban Question is an exuberant and illuminating adventure through our current global urban condition, tracing the connections between radical urban theory and political activism. From Haussmann's attempts to use urban planning to rid 19th-century Paris of workers revolution to the contemporary metropolis, including urban disaster-zones such as downtown Detroit, Merrifield reveals how the urban experience has been profoundly shaped by class antagonism and been the battle-ground for conspiracies, revolts and social eruptions. Going beyond the work of earlier urban theorists such as Manuel Castells, Merrifield identifies the new urban question that has emerged and demands urgent attention, as the city becomes a site of active plunder by capital and the setting for new forms of urban struggle, from Occupy to the Indignados.
