2025 - 2026 Fall
Landscape Design I Studio
"Liminal Space - Thresholds of Memory and Publicness"

Landscape Design I - PEM 212E (CRN 13884) - "Liminal Space - Thresholds of Memory and Publicness" will be conducted by Arzu Türk (Ph.D.) in the 2025-2026 Fall Semester. 

This studio explores Fındıklı Park as a contested urban landscape shaped by processes of transformation, displacement, and memory. Situated between Martı Project, Galataport, and the shifting shoreline, the park embodies conditions of in-betweenness where the right to the city and the question of publicness are at stake. Through the method of an “atlas” —a layered and speculative mapping of ecological, social, historical, and spatial dimensions—students will investigate the palimpsest character of the site.
