mapping Taksim Square
The square has been represented in traditional maps
as, for example, the crossroads of transportation and touristic attraction.
But neither of these are able to reveal the everyday spatial practices and
accordingly the variety of meanings attached to this place by different users
at different times. The exercise is aimed for observing and documenting the
everyday uses of the square. Each mapping will challenge both the observer’s
position and the fixed knowledges of this place.
Pay attention to:
- urban systems, visible and invisible structures, particular urban configurations
- processes, uses, events, temporalities
- histories, stakeholders
