Book Description
"In an effort to afford a glimpse into Kayseri’s rich sociocultural past, this book traces the physical and built environment that has been left from the Armenian and Greek communities of the region and presents the relationship of the urban culture of Ottoman Kayseri to its rural hinterland by way of statistical information and visual material. The book comprises mainly the results of the fieldwork in Kayseri in the summer and fall of 2015 that was jointly undertaken by the Hrant Dink Foundation and the Association for the Protection of Cultural Heritage. Accompanied by contextualizing introductory articles that shed light on the social and economic history of the Armenian and Greek communities in Kayseri, this book attests to t[h]e fact that Kayseri that we know today in [sic] very much the product of the cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity it once enjoyed. At the end of the 19th century, non-Muslims constituted one-third of the population of the Kayseri Province. A significant number of their buildings have unexpectedly withstood the perils to this day, and yet they are deterioriating at an alarming pace. This book, which should be considered a 2015 photograph of this cultural heritage, was prepared with the hope that it will contribute to the processes of reconciling with the past. The latter is the prerequisite for the cultural heritage of the peoples who have been forcefully expelled from their homelands to not be neglected but to instead be protected like other cultural heritage."--

The Silent Generation
Author: Haig SarajianPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Armenia
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The story of the "Silent Generation" is based on the biographical recollections of six survivors and their families of the Ottoman Empire's Genocide against its Armenian populace. Although each survivor's odyssey is distinctly unique, together they represent the depth and overwhelming tragedy that engulfed more than 2 million people. Today but a small scattering of survivors are alive. Sadly, for almost 100 years their voices were quashed by guilt, remorse, fear and an attempt to protect their heirs from the horrors they had escaped. The Silent Generation attempts to pause, look back, listen and give voice to what happened a century ago.

Biomimetics in Architecture
Author: Petra GruberPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3709103320
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The purpose of investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive, but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to investigate the emerging discipline of „biomimetics in architecture" [Architekturbionik]. An overview of the present state of research in the relatively young scientific field of biomimetics shows the potential of the approach. The new discipline aims at innovation by making use of the subtle systems and solutions in nature having evolved within millions of years. Approaches that have been taken to transfer nature's principles to architecture have provided successful developments. The new approach presented in this book transfers the abstract concept of life onto built environment. Strategic search for life's criteria in architecture delivers a new view of architectural achievements and makes the innovative potential visible, which has not been exploited yet. A selection of case studies illustrates the diversity of starting points: from vernacular architecture to space exploration.

The Armenian Genocide
Author: Richard G. HovannisianPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351485857
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
World War I was a watershed, a defining moment, in Armenian history. Its effects were unprecedented in that it resulted in what no other war, invasion, or occupation had achieved in three thousand years of identifiable Armenian existence. This calamity was the physical elimination of the Armenian people and most of the evidence of their ever having lived on the great Armenian Plateau, to which the perpetrator side soon gave the new name of Eastern Anatolia. The bearers of an impressive martial and cultural history, the Armenians had also known repeated trials and tribulations, waves of massacre, captivity, and exile, but even in the darkest of times there had always been enough remaining to revive, rebuild, and go forward.This third volume in a series edited by Richard Hovannisian, the dean of Armenian historians, provides a unique fusion of the history, philosophy, literature, art, music, and educational aspects of the Armenian experience. It further provides a rich storehouse of information on comparative dimensions of the Armenian genocide in relation to the Assyrian, Greek and Jewish situations, and beyond that, paradoxes in American and French policy responses to the Armenian genocides. The volume concludes with a trio of essays concerning fundamental questions of historiography and politics that either make possible or can inhibit reconciliation of ancient truths and righting ancient wrongs.
