Rewriting History: Interpreting Heritage in Saint Petersburg and Istanbul
(Taylor and Francis, 2019) Erek, Ayşe Nur; Erek, Ayşe Nur
Our chapter analyses the paradoxes of reconstructing and reinterpreting architectural heritage, with a focus on the phenomenon of disappearing history. We argue: In the process of multiplication of actors involved in the reconstruction and reinterpretation of heritage sites, history and historical facts are playing a dwindling role. Using two case studies—Degtyarnyy Lane, a former tram station and park in Saint Petersburg, and the Emek Cinema building and Roma Garden in Istanbul, both of which are signifiers of the overall changes in Istanbul’s central Beyoğlu district after the 2000s—this chapter investigates how the multiplication of actors affects, on the one hand, the production of new histories of the highlighted heritage sites, and how this process leads to the disappearance of history in these cities; and on the other hand, how ‘rewriting’ the histories of these sites through heritage production affects the growing securitization around these sites and thereby access to them. Which social groups are included and which are excluded from these newly recreated places and sites and their ‘historical’ narratives? The analysis takes into account the strong spatio-temporal interplay in urban heritage sites.

Writing Model Making and Inventing in Paul Scheerbart’s the Perpetual Motion Machine
(Taylor & Francis, 2018) Ekinci, Sevil Enginsoy; Enginsoy Ekinci, Ayşe Sevil
First published in German in 1910 and in English as late as 2011 Das Perpetuum Mobile: Die Geschichte einer Erfindung/The Perpetual Motion Machine: The Story of an Invention narrates the German visionary writer and artist Paul Scheerbart’s (1863-1915) obsessive efforts to produce numerous models of a fantastic machine. Written in the form of a diary between 1907 and 1910 and supplemented by twenty-six diagrams the book is a record of his “flights of imagination” manifested in a series of fanciful futures to be created by the machine. As such it is a documentation of this process as well as of his emotional state oscillating between hope and dissappointment laughter and frustration. While reading the book as “the story of an invention” this chapter traces Scheerbart’s use of the words “story” and “machine” synonymously meaning an “invented story/machine” and focuses on the role played by model making in this process of “invention.” Here it draws attention to the central place occupied by architecture in Scheerbart’s futuristic scenarios through the models of “a colossal art of space” to be exhibited in “a gigantic architectural park” covering “the entire Harz region” in Germany in a scale “larger than anything we have witnessed in architecture up to now.” Accordingly the chapter aims to discuss the book’s relevancy to today’s architectural education as a design tool of writing/making the model of an architectural “story”/“machine” which documents its own process of “invention.” © 2018 Taylor & Francis.
