Architectural Histories of the “Global Sunbelt”

The lecture presents the historical and theoretical framework of the edited volume Coastal Architectures and Politics of Tourism: Leisurescapes in the Global Sunbelt (2022). It addresses the ways in which the term ‘Global Sunbelt’, coined jointly with co-editors P. Pyla and S. Bozdoğan, offers historiographical potential in rethinking the dividing lines of East–West and North–South, while foregrounding connections between leisure and tourism and broader issues of power, identity, religion, conflict, political economy, and nationalism, particularly in regional and formerly colonised contexts of the ‘Global South.’ Drawing on recent case studies, the lecture further critically interrogates the role of architectural design…
Architecture and Social Sustainability: Understanding the New Paradigm

Tracing how the professionalization of architecture and urban design has often excluded stakeholder input, this talk presents a range of methods and theoretical approaches aimed at retooling the design process toward greater social sustainability. The presentation illustrates these ideas through a series of case studies addressing systemic inequalities, recapturing stakeholder voices, and promoting spatial and social justice. It argues for a renewed paradigm in which participatory practices and inclusive design processes become central to architectural thinking. Biography: Alexandra Staub is Professor of Architecture at Penn State University, College of Arts and Architecture. Her research focuses on the intersections of architecture,…
Building Pera, Burning Pera: The 1870 Fire and the “Imaginary Lines” of Urbanization

On 5 June 1870, the heart of Istanbul’s capitalist urbanization, Pera, was ravaged by one of the most disastrous fires in the city’s history. Killing thousands of people (and uncounted nonhumans) and destroying large swathes of the built environment, the Great Fire of 1870 has so far not been investigated in its material complexity and its unequal and heterogeneous impact on the urban landscape. This talk, partially based on a work-in-progress article co-authored with Ahmet Ersoy, remaps the fire’s impact and demonstrates that the post-disaster expertise on the fire was shaped by and contributed to the socio-ecological inequalities in the…

Biography: Aslıhan Demirtaş is a practicing architect, educator, and co-founder of KHORA, an expanded architectural and design practice grounded in research, art and ecology. Established in New York and based in Istanbul, KHORA is a collaborative, multi-scale and…

Architecture of Migration: The Dadaab Refugee Camps and Humanitarian Settlement

Environments associated with migration are often seen as provisional, lacking both history andarchitecture. As Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi demonstrates in Architecture of Migration, a refugeecamp’s aesthetic and material landscapes—even if born out of emergency—reveal histories,futures, politics, and rhetorics. She identifies forces of colonial and humanitarian settlement,tracing spatial and racial politics in the Dadaab refugee camps established in 1991 on the Kenya-Somalia border—at once a dense setting that manifests decades of architectural, planning, anddesign initiatives and a much older constructed environment that reflects its own ways ofknowing. She moves beyond ahistorical representations of camps and their inhabitants byconstructing a material and visual archive…
