459 pages, 2015 PDF EPUB Becoming Istanbul is a critical dictionary exploring the problematics of Istanbul. Made up of 152 entries focusing on transformations to the city, clich#s used by observers to evaluate these transformations, and commonplace complaints and conditions, Becoming Istanbul invites the reader to question and critique popular discourses. This collection of original writings, seeking to examine Istanbul from different perspectives, has brought together a diverse selection of writers, including architects, musicians, urban planners, orchestral conductors, activists, sociologists, economists, film critics, authors, museum directors, geographers, reporters, anthropologists and historians.
This encyclopedia was originally conceived and published in 2008 to accompany the exhibition of the same name, in the Autumn of 2008 at the DAM (German Architecture Museum) in Frankfurt. The "re-publishing" of this book took place after the peaceful riots of Gezi Park in Taksim in 2013. Many of the biographies are updated in this publication and it is not connected to the gallery where the 2008 exhibition took place.
