• About the Exhibition

    Within the context of a graduate course and an undergraduate design studio, Grandbazaar became the focus of the urban research & reading area; a discovery field where experiences of the place experimented, presented and re-presented. With its ever articulating and changing physical and fictive structure, without hiding its imperfect embodiment, the Grandbazaar is a constantly evolving "playground" in the thoughts of coordinators and students of this project. The project presents the place analysis, living sections and audio-visual works of a group of graduate and undergraduate students from Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Architecture.

Mohammed's Sword

by Batuhan Akkaya
Mohammed’s Sword The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true (J. Baudrillard) Relying on the process of sword production, the video reevaluates the new meanings of crafts, symbols, religion and historical places from the theoretical perspective of Simulacra & Simulation A rich man from Kütahya goes to Denizli, a city noted with sword making. He finds a craftsman asks him to imitate Mohammed’s gold and gem embroidered sword which is now in Topkapý Museum but the sword is so sophisticated that craftsman refers A to Aram Usta from Kapalýçarþý and this is only the start of the new partnerships
