ArchitectureWeek Description
Essays by urban historians and designers about the changing role of public space in the cities of Beirut and Istanbul as they undergo major urban redevelopment. The study of Beirut looks at the redesign of Martyrs' Square, the city's primary public space, in the aftermath of the civil war and the ongoing reconstruction efforts. In Istanbul, the focus is on Sirkeci Square, one of the main intermodal hubs on the historic peninsula, as it readies itself to host a new station for the first under-Bosphorus train tunnel.
