Overview
Located in the centre of Izmir, this In Other Latitudes visiting school offered by Architectural Association views the recurring condition of displacement and its effects on the city.
Features
The historically migrant neighbourhoods surrounding Izmir’s Roman Agora continue to be the point of arrival in the city for contemporary refugees due to the construction of the train station in the 19th century.
By looking at urban space within architectural, sociological, and political discourses, discussions on issues of identity, temporality, and informality are developed.
Here, we will be facilitating points of contact and observing cultural products of migrants from within by examining the material conditions of social frameworks and their manifestations in architecture.
