Dating back to the 15th century, the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul can be considered as a small town consisting of more than 60 streets and 4000 shops.

Archaeological Sites as an Integral Part of Cultural Landscape

A very interesting presentation that I was lucky enough to be present during the CSAAR '08 Conference by Mirjana Roter, Gordana Milosevic and Ana Radiojevic from the University of Belgrade, Serbia. The paper was based on some student projects aiming at integration of contemporary design with archaeological sites.

THE STONES OF FAMAGUSTA

The Stones of Famagusta, a film about the architecture of the walled city of Famagusta is a must-see film for anyone interested in architectural background of the island as well as in Byzantine, French Gothic and Venetian architecture of the period. The film was also screened at the prestigious Santa Barbara International Film Festival in Santa Barbara, California.

Design Project: Museum Extension and Redevelopment

Master of Arts degree of Interior Design, September 2004.

During my MA studies, the hypothesis of the study was “to create a dialogue between the past and contemporary new design and to filter it through my vision in the museum/ exhibition space.”One of the objectives of my MA studies was to create a dialogue with the history of the building and with the place.

I was designed the project brief as above and will continue publishing about the project in this blog.
