A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Exhibition: ‘Signs Taken in Wonder: Searching for Contemporary Istanbul’
Signs Taken in Wonder: Searching for Contemporary Istanbul, which took place in the Museum for Applied Arts and Contemporary Art (Museum für Angewandte Kunst, MAK), Vienna, in early 2013, is the most recent example of the vogue for city exhibitions over the past decade. Pondering the representation of the city, the Exhibition is engaged with questions about the representation of Istanbul, drawing attention to such issues as urban transformation, conflicted spaces, utopian perspectives of modernisation, the past as an invented space and architectural representation, in terms of spatial concerns both personal and political.
