The protests in Istanbul indicated one simple thing for architects (designers?): We need new definitions for architecture in situations when architecture is removed from architects.Each unique structure that we encounter in the streets and Gezi Park has its own in-situ design and implementation process. Documentation of these temporary structures is of huge importance for further examination, considering their limited life-cycle.
Since 15M, map out the architecture of the settlements has been a constant idea. The penultimate occupation of a place, in this case in Turkey has prompted a group of architects to document the temporary structures dismantled by police in Gezi Park in Istanbul, -buildings inspired by the Turks, the first Central Asian nomads . Below, you have some drawings and photographs about their work. Congrats!
