design III: resources in istanbul

Professor Karen Fairbanks

This traveling studio is focused on how students tackle design issues in Istanbul, a city in a foreign country, through issues related to resources in the city. The city’s morphology was analyzed with special attention paid to the horizontal development of the city and the treatment of city’s public spaces.
