From House to House: Architecture - Arrangement - Practical in the Turkish House

From House to House: Architecture - Arrangement in the Turkish House - Practical Book Description "Whether we live in an apartment, a village or a mountain house, the habits in our daily lives, the ways of arranging and evaluating the space, the items we use and our relationships with them, consciously or unconsciously... We build a world. The bonds we will establish with a new house we move into have a share in the deep traces left in our collective memory by a place culture we have jointly built, rather than dreams about what we want to do in this place in the future. We do more than just living here..." Home is much more than just a shelter. A household appliance is more than simply a "tool"; it contributes to the formation of a style of doing. As furniture ages, it becomes a fixture of memories. Every house has its own unique smell. The space culture shaped around the home leaves its mark on the entire culture and lifestyle. With this awareness of space culture, Seyhan Kurt shows that the image of the "traditional Turkish house" is not a fixed architectural form, but constantly transforms with the practice of daily life. To understand this transformation, he carefully looks at the "meaning and importance" of the kitchen, living room or balcony. It traverses the historical change of the house and its functions, from the extended household to the “nucleated” dwelling, from the wedding to the funeral. From Home to Home is a book written with literary pleasure and "love of home", accompanied by the reflections of our relationship with home in literature. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
