Architectural Design theme of habitus workshop
The MATERIART Istanbul Workshop focuses on the question of relating the notion of habitus to the future within the context of Istanbul and calls for design proposals for an intervention along the Golden Horn to support the creation and development of “a habitus of the future”. The Golden Horn (Haliç) is one of the waterways existent in the historic fabric of this metropolitan city, and a natural estuary that joins the Bosporus Strait at the point where it meets the Sea of Marmara.
Proposals are called for a design intervention/mediation in one of the selected regions along the Golden Horn that may develop an envisioned habitus of the future, particular to that place and its “inhabitants” at large, and also with regards to issues of new materiality in architecture. Based on critical analysis of the characteristics of the region/site past and present, its physical, cultural, and social structures, what would you propose, as architects, towards transforming it into a state that would afford people’s living in the ways of the envisioned future.
Architectural Design theme of workshop is new small temporary devices with the capacity to carry out community activities of a social, educational and cultural nature in the area of intervention.
