Focusing on ruins, a foray will be made into the tangled relationship between history, mythology, literature and the past in architectural historiography. How does imagination navigate between verbal and visual narratives where ruins are concerned? What can ruins tell us? Beyond constituting bridges between past and present, the utility of ruins in designing memory will also be highlighted using evidence from Rome, Ancyra and Gordion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biography:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suna G\u00fcven studied at Wellesley College and MIT with an Independent Major in Architectural Studies.
