Product Description
"Istanbul, Cities, and Architecture" is the second book in our Selim Nüzhet Complete Works series. This book, which brings together Selim Nüzhet's articles written for newspapers and magazines, consists of sections formed by 3 themes. The first section is titled "Istanbul Writings," and the second section is titled "Cities." This section comprises a travel-themed article along with articles written about 9 cities other than Istanbul. The third section is titled "City and Architecture."
The writings that make up this work were primarily serialized in newspapers and magazines of that time, starting from 1941 up to and including 1944, approximately 80 years ago, and are meeting our readers for the first time in book form.
From today's perspective, these writings can rightly be considered an inventory of what we have lost. Secondly, they greet readers as an admirable account of the beauties we once possessed. Thirdly, it is a work where some of the problems we discuss today were identified and diagnosed back then, solutions were proposed, and it became evident that these were not taken into account. Fourthly, it draws attention to the importance of topics such as culture, city-space, architecture, historical-cultural heritage, particularly in Istanbul, where we have never quite found the right path and almost always failed. With the aesthetic perspective and city-space sensitivity that dominate Selim Nüzhet's writings, he not only enables us to notice the beauties and subtleties we once possessed but also instills in us the responsibility to cherish them like our own eyes. The culture of living in the city, the character of the city-human bond that constructs each other—the human constructing the city, and the city constructing the human—and the awareness of conveying the unique heritage from the past to future generations, starting from today, are the most fundamental concerns of this book. Finally, these writings exemplify a delight in language with high simplicity, line by line. The author of these writings fulfills the responsibility of expressing the city he was born and lived in, and the cities he traveled and saw, with a superior delight in language and sensitive perspectives, bringing them to his own time. Therefore, let us hope that by taking his understanding and comprehension as an example, and learning about the city and our cities from his pen, we may also partake in this understanding and way of perception.
