CATEGORY: SOUL OF CITY
PROJECT: WALLS
“Walls” installation question how “fragmentation” develop spaces at various scales from micro to macro. Since Rome, the complex city of the Roman Empire the cities emerged through partitioning by growth and its stratification.
THE EMERGENCE OF THE “PROPERTY” STARTED WITH THE “DOUBLE WALL” OF NERO, THE ROMAN EMPEROR WHICH EVENTUALLY BECAME THE BASIS FOR THE BUILDING PLOTS
Similarly we can trace the emergence of marble minerals, which happens through fragmentation and stratification of it. The installation approach the marble as a topographic language by stratifying the crystals on its own with a partitional structure. Also aims to reveal the subdivisons of the marble and the strategy results the texture with thin walls on the surface in a way that simulates the essence of the city at a micro scale. Walls implement a boundary, a representation of space, or even the space itself founded by reconsideration of the wall concept which is the main building-element.
ALPER DERINBOGAZ
Alper Derinbogaz, winner of the International Plan Award for Innovative Architecture, recognized as an “emerging and influential architect”. Derinbogaz graduated from ITU and studied in UCLA and received Fulbright Scholarship. He won the Graduate Award for his master’s studies. He represented Turkey in the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale in its debut year of the Pavilion of Turkey in 2014. He was awarded for A+ Architizer Award in 2015 for his recent work. Currently he is teaching his design studio at ITU and heads the work at his practice.

In recent years, stone has become the protagonist of numerous emblematic contemporary works and has significantly influenced the thinking of designers and the evolution of current architectural languages. The introduction of sophisticated processing technologies has also enabled sustainable application as well as helping to promote new levels of expression.
The exhibition Soul of City explores possible visions of contemporary cities through stone. This research project into the use of natural stone interprets the topic of the 2017 UIA which took place in Seoul. Seven international design studies combined with Italian companies in the natural stone sector take up the challenge of this material from an architectural point of view in order to represent their ideas for cities.
