EAA- Emre Arolat Architects, a leading international architectural practice based in İstanbul and London, presents an exhibition exploring the urban histories of both cities. Through a two way, dual city approach the practice will reveal “situations” that unite and differentiate these two great cities at the east and west ends of Europe in their development. The exhibition covers a timeline beginning with the mid 19th century that shows key events or turning-points in the course of their stories respectively. The exhibition is curated by EAA – Emre Arolat Architects, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Murat Güvenç from Istanbul City University and London-based Urban Planning & Development Consultant Ömer Çavuşoğlu.

Such a retrospective view helps us getting in touch with the contemporary urban situations of Istanbul that EAA- Emre Arolat Architects continually faces in practice. Along with the visual material and text focusing on the background of the urban situations, a selection of recent projects and those underway by EAA-Emre Arolat Architects in different regions of Istanbul are showcased, as ‘agents’ of the current urban scene. The exhibition features original drawings, models, photographs and films of EAA’s projects.
