  • More about Istanbul: Informal Settlements and Generative Urbanism


Istanbul: Informal Settlements and Generative Urbanism explores how generative built structures and neighborhoods can be successfully realized in a modern, burgeoning urban context. It evaluates the constructs of living structures, pattern languages, and generative urban design processes in relation to Istanbul's informal settlements and establishes them as a modern settlement typology.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Istanbul: Informal Settlements and Generative Urbanism delves into the examination of two informal housing settlements in Istanbul, Turkey: Karanfilköy and Fatih Sultan Mehmet. The study aims to explore the successful realization of generative built structures and neighborhoods within a modern and rapidly expanding urban context. While generative development processes adapt to existing conditions and evolve over time, there have been relatively few examples in the 20th and 21st centuries. This book evaluates the constructs of living structures, pattern languages, and generative urban design processes in relation to Istanbul's informal settlements. It provides exemplars of communities creating liveable, dynamic, and user-adapted neighborhoods, thus establishing them as a modern settlement typology in generative urban design theory.
