task #2




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
