Pieces of Istanbul_ space and life


this short video shows some spices in Istanbul trip which i am interested in. Istanbul is such a place we can see all kinds of things pile up-- food , fruit, clothes for sale,people, and houses.. like breeding and scattering in the space. In a city of migrants, the footprint of life occupied land and spaces. lots of unprogrammed activities changed the identity of spaces, making chaos in this old city and comprising the important characters of social life and network among people.

children's playground is another way to occupy the public space by designers,appearing everywhere, from small courtyard of community to wide empty suburb land,where nobody seems will use these facilities. Playground becomes a symbol of "vibrant and healthy life" , sets up with endless loneliness.

moreover,sound,smell,shadow,smoke..these short time phenomenons are recording the life here.Feeling them gave a more real existence.
