 |
| kobene, foto Herdem Doğru |
"Mimarın toplumsal rolü son yıllarda uluslararası ortamda; kentsel dönüşüm, savaş ve sömürge bölgeleri, konut spekülasyonu ve radikal demokrasi bağlamlarında yoğun olarak tartışılıyor. Teddy Cruz, Alessandro Petti, Sandi Hilal, Eyal Weizman, farklı yöntemler ve pratiklerle mimarlığın politik rolünü sorgulayan, son on beş senedir bu konuda öne çıkan mimarlar. Yöntem ve pratiklerini incelemeden önce; mekân ve arazinin statik ve kendi başına fiziksel bir öğe olmadığını ve mimari tasarımın da sadece bina inşası anlamına artık gelmediğini aklımızda bulundurmamız gerekir"

Towards a Decolonizing Pedagogy in Spatial Practices
- Knowledge Production under Regimes of Oppression
Workshop, at Concrete Tent / DAAR, 11-13 Sept.2015
Campus in Camps/Tree School/ MAU Architecture Graduate Studies.
After several visits and collaboration with Campus in Camps and DAAR working on the potentialities of commoning practices in refugee camps and developing transversal pedagogical modalities; we worked in three days working workshop on presenting cases from Southeast Anatolia (Turkey) spatial practices and focusing on practices in Al Fawar refugee camp and Dheisheh refugee camps. Is architecture after destruction and revolution possible? How autonomy and institutionalism take part in our practices? Organized by Alessandro Petti, Pelin Tan, Sandi Hilal, Isshaq Albarbary as a upcoming wider collaboration between architecture faculty of Mardin and Campus in Camps initiations; Ayat Al Turshan (Director of Women center of Al-Fawar), David Harvey (CUNY), Katya Sander (artist) and her students, grad.students architects Önder Duyan, Yahya Aydın, Yıldız Tahtacı, Nese Akkaya, Elif Ebru, Medya Aydın, Melike Elik.
First day gathering opened with a public forum in Concrete Tent, discussing what does "autonomy" nowadays means in our practices by Pelin Tan, David Harvey, Sandi Hilal and Yıldız Tahtacı. The relation between autonomy and infrastructure after destruction and the labor in the day after is crucial as we want to define any autonomy of an emancipatory movement. What is the role of architects and planners? These start up discussion led to design the presentations and topics in the following days.
Second day started, with a presentation by Ayat Al Thursan, my friend who is from Al Fawar refugee camp and is the new executive director of the Women center that initiates projects and activities in the Square and at the center. Women liberation and movements in both places such as in a Palestinian refugee camp and in Diyarbakır-Mardin were in common in most cases. Urban commons as the leading role of women centers, cooperative structures are the main bones of the activities and visibility of women in public spaces. Elif gave information of her research on women cooperatives and centers in Diyarbakır and they function.
Third day took part in DAAR office; research by Melike and Pelin on Rebuilding Kobene and questioning how architecture is possible after revolution, what is autonomy in that perspective? Önder, a practicing architect from Mardin presented an analyse on his village and its relation to panopticon and military base. Yahya, presented his village Goderne in Silvan which burned and evicted several times by military and now it is under threat of waterdams. By the presentation of Sandi and Alessandro about their practice and projects we got more deeper what is the role of architects in decolonization of territorities and what are forms and pedagogy for it.
A larger collective publication will come up soon with details.
