This situation continued until the construction of a highway in the 1930s, which more or less allowed the passage of motorized vehicles. In the 1960s, with the opening of a new highway, it was greatly affected by the sudden boom in tourism. While maintaining a settlement fabric suitable for its own way of life within its own environment for centuries, this activity virtually destroyed the traditional fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this book, you will follow observations and visuals from 1965 to 1991, and a small amount from 2011, when the degradation had just begun. This unique and very simple residential architecture, formed with very little external influence in environmental conditions, perhaps bearing the traces of thousands of years of history, and the uniform architectural and settlement fabric it achieved, led us directly to nature and humanity. A comparison with the current situation reflects the cruel dimensions of the change. It is almost impossible to recognize many places now...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBodrum Mayor Ahmet Aras, in his \"Foreword\" written in the book, touches upon the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"We were children of the sea, full of hopes and dreams in a unique, small fishing town. We played with the sea in tangerine groves, on the shore, in the streets. With the zeferiye wind in our hair, the scorching of the sun and sea on our faces; we smelled of sea salt. Our breath rose and fell with shouts of joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs we grew up, our free city, Bodrum, transformed into a modern tourism city. In the hustle and bustle of life, while gaining on one hand, we often failed to realize what we were losing on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe streets we ran through in our childhood; our neighbor whose door we knocked on, whose window we broke, our corner grocer remained in memories. Our neighborhood, where we played the leading role, as our own history, our own world, is now the mark on our leg from cutting it while moving from tree to tree in the tangerine groves, hand in hand, dancing the halay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe tourism boom that peaked in Bodrum and the demand for holiday homes led to rapid construction across the peninsula. Most of us struggled to resist this demand and its financial returns. Our gardens, lands, and coves became concretized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI do not want to instrumentalize what has been experienced into the spiral of politics. I am not saying 'this one did it' or 'that one did it'; 'could we have avoided it?' is a separate discussion. Without hiding behind a weak statement like 'I wish it hadn't happened!', not only because I am the mayor, but also because I have not been disconnected from my own geography and culture since childhood, because I am Ahmet Aras from Bodrum, I think about what I need to do and what we can do together. I believe we need to refresh our memory about what we do not want to find and what we do not want to lose regarding our shared love for Bodrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe are not yet a city with closed air corridors, breathless and airless; the imbat of the Archipelago, the meltem still caresses our coves. Huge blocks do not build castles on our shores like impenetrable walls. Although our winter population has skyrocketed from 180 thousand to 600 thousand in the last three years, I believe we are not without solutions with our two-story white houses and our resistance to multi-story, vertical construction: By turning our faces to Bodrum, by correctly analyzing Bodrum's dynamics, with the responsibility of being residents of Bodrum, with decisions we will make together, by planning locally, we must approach construction with a 'sustainable city' perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur esteemed professor, who examines Chios-type, musandara-roofed, and tower-type house examples specific to Bodrum architecture; who defines forgotten concepts of Bodrum home life such as ayazlık (cool courtyard), çanaklık (dish rack), yunmalık (laundry area), yüklük (storage cupboard), and terek (shelf), describes the traditional Müsgebi neighborhood architecture where I spent my childhood as follows: \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'As a result, everyone is equal and respectful of each other.
