GMU:Istanbul/Surrogates: Difference between revisions

So this is what it looks like? A gecekondu.

Istanbul is a big city. A city where a lot of things happen and a lot of different people live next to each other.
As far as I know Istanbul conglomerates of different residential styles which I regard as imperative to explore. I am interested in how the city manages to meet the domestic demands of a 13 million inhabitants. While researching following questions have been arisen:

Where do most of the inhabitants live?
Are Gecekondular still a hot topic in Istanbul?
Will I see Plattenbauten?

What I'll need for my fieldwork.

After a locally fieldwork I want to interpret the collected data. Be it raw facts or digital imaging. With the help of my catalogue of information I hopefully can depict the cityscape. ~~My intention is to actually rebuild a Gecekondu in a urban surrounding somewhere in Germany (Weimar or Berlin).~~
