Bodrum Halikarnassos (1965-1991)

Ürün Açıklaması

Professor Dr. Reha Günay's new book, “A Journey Through The Triditional Architecture 1: BODRUM HALIKARNASSOS (1965-1991)”, which he created by using his identity as both a traditional architecture expert and a photographer, was published by YEM Publishing in cooperation with Bodrum Municipality.

In the 1960s, the opening of a new highway suddenly exposed the peninsula to a large-scale impact from the booming tourism activities. Whilst the peninsula maintained its settlement texture suitable to its own way of life for centuries, this mobility almost obliterated the traditional texture. This book presents observations and visuals from the period of around 1965 to 1991, with a few from 2011, capturing the early stages of disruption. With minimal external influence within environmental conditions, this unique and straightforward architectural and settlement texture, perhaps carrying traces of a history spanning thousands of years, directly connected us to nature and humanity. A comparison with the current situation reflects the harsh dimensions of chang...
