As part of the Architectural Design 1 (MTS1) course, the talk titled "Paper in Beykoz" was delivered by Hakan Koçak, focusing on Beykoz's industrial history through the lens of paper production. The session examined the city's production heritage, the role of the paper industry in Beykoz's development, and the relationship between local history and the built environment.
The presentation highlighted that architecture extends beyond the design of physical structures, serving also as a medium for preserving production processes, collective memory, and local identity. Through discussions on Beykoz's industrial heritage, participants gained a broader perspective on the significance of urban memory in architectural education.
The presentation accompanied Module 01: Paper of the Architectural Design 1 (MTS1) course, contributing to students' understanding of design within its historical and cultural context.
