  • CONSTANTINOPLE COMPOSITE the PLEIADES PATTERN the 7 Hills of the Golden Horn by Luis B
    CONSTANTINOPLE COMPOSITE THE PLEIADES PATTERN The 7 Hills of the Golden Horn by Luis B. Vega [email protected] www.PostScripts.org The purpose of this illustration is to suggest that the Golden Horn of the ancient city of Constantinople is configured to the Cydonia, Mars pyramid complex. The Martian motif consists of a 7 pyramid Pleiadian City, the giant Pentagon Pyramid and the Face of Mars or that of a supposed mausoleum to the demigod, Ala-lu. What is unique about this 2nd Roman Capital founded by the Emperor Constantine in 330 AD is that the breath of the Horn or peninsula is laid out in the approximate depiction of the Pleiades star cluster corresponding to the 7 hills of the Golden Horn. During the Roman and Byzantium periods, the 7 hills corresponded to various religious monasteries or churches as were with its twin capital of Rome with its 7 hills. The most prominent being the Hagia Sophia basilica or Holy Wisdom from the Greek. One of the main reasons the move of imperial capitals was made from Rome to Constantinople was because Rome was being sacked so many times by the northern Germanic tribes. Since the fall of Constantinople to the Muslims in 1453 the various churches have been converted into mosques. The name of Constantinople was changed to Istanbul by the Ottoman Turks who are Asiatic and used the Greek word for ‘The City’. The Golden Horn is in the European site of the Straits of the Bosphorus. The other celestial association with this Golden Horn is that it is referencing to the constellation of Taurus in which the Pleaides are situated.

  • TURKEY Threats to the World Heritage in the Changing Metropolitan Areas of Istanbul
    Turkey 175 TURKEY Threats to the World Heritage in the Changing Metropolitan Areas of Istanbul The Historic Areas of Istanbul on the Bosporus peninsula were in- scribed in 1985 in the World Heritage List, not including Galata and without a buffer zone to protect the surroundings. Risks for the historic urban topography of Istanbul, especially by a series of high- rise buildings threatening the historic urban silhouette, were already presented in Heritage at Risk 2006/2007 (see the visual impact as- sessment study by Astrid Debold-Kritter on pp. 159 –164). In the last years, dynamic development and transformation have changed the metropolitan areas with a new scale of building inter- ventions and private investments. Furthermore, the privatisation of urban areas and the development of high-rise buildings with large ground plans or in large clusters have dramatically increased. orld eritagea,,eerules and standards set upby arely knownconveyrthe ap- provedConflicts in managing the World Heritage areas of Istanbul Metropolis derive from changing the law relevant for the core area- sisthe .

This study discusses the positions of public and private sector investments in the region during the process of creating "The Golden Horn Cultural Valley" and reveals the policies that managed this regeneration. The research uses a multi-dimensional method considering both qualitative and quantitative data throughout economics, politics/urban cultural policies, society, culture and space. With respect to the projects, the authors highlight three main outcomes: (1) processes vary according to the actors, (2) lack of integrated vision and (3) disconnected cultural visibility.

  • The Golden Horn: Heritage Industry Vs
    Uludağ Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi Dergisi, Cilt 19, Sayı 2, 2014 ARAŞTIRMA THE GOLDEN HORN: HERITAGE INDUSTRY VS. INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE Zeynep GÜNAY * Abstract: The revitalization of former industrial areas has been one of the crucial tasks of urban policy agenda throughout the world since the mid 1970s; whereas heritage industry has become the new orthodoxy in the shift from production to consumption as means for the restructuring and reimaging of post-industrial economies in the global order. The increasing tendency to link heritage and conservation with economic development has brought new meanings to cultural assets, the value of which has started to be related solely to the economic value it sustains or generates. The commodification and instrumentalization of industrial heritage by the heritage industry, in particular, has turned out to be the determining factor for creating opportunity spaces in the post-industrial areas. At the same time, many academics are critical on the attempts to reform post-industrial spaces of consumption with privatized spaces and commodified cultures. Within this context, the paper attempts to evaluate the role and the impact of heritage industry in the revitalisation of the post-industrial spaces of Istanbul, with a case study on the Golden Horn. The results of the paper are related to the following questions: What role the industrial heritage play in the revitalisation of historic environments? What are the ways to turn such industrial heritage into sources of social and economic development? What are the likely impacts on the local economy and local community? The conclusion gives an overview of the extent of the impacts that industrial heritage has on the Golden Horn, and in turn relates this back to the wider idea of heritage industry being promoted for the urban policy- making in Istanbul.

    Regenerating »Public Istanbul«. Two Projects on the Golden Horn SENEM ZEYBEKOLU Today, under the impacts of economic globalization, many of the world’s largest cities are witnessing major economic and spatial restruc- turing (Fainstein 1990), a multidimensional process involving interna- tional flows of capital, goods, people, cultural values and consumption of information (Van Kempen/Marcuse 1997) on a non-tangible level. On physical level, developments in transportation and communication tech- nologies (Giddens 1998), the changing spatial structure of economic ac- tivities (Van Kempen/Marcuse 1997), and the increasing ability of transnational companies to conduct transactions in non-spaces (Judd/ Parkinson 1990) are also part of this economic globalization. Further- more, the declining autonomy of the nation states over the control of their economies (Sassen 1998) is also leading to economic restructuring in many cities. Within this changing economic environment, major cities find them- selves in severe competition. Cities competing for mobile capital invest in technological infrastructures and transportation systems such as air- ports, highways, bridges. To attract headquarters of transnational com- panies, cities invest in high-tech office-buildings and luxurious residen- tial enclaves to house their workers in. To appease the newly emerging professional class who is part of this new economic system, many cities are providing more spaces for consumption and recreational activities. Major festivals, sports events, concerts and international conferences that a growing number of cities are hosting are also indicators of a newly emerging international economy (Short/Kim 1999). 163 SENEM ZEYBEKOLU With the election of Turgut Özal’s neo-liberal Motherland Party (ANAP) in 1983, Turkey also began to feel the impacts of economic globalization.

  • ISTANBUL the Ancient Constantinople the Ancient Constantinople
    ISTANBUL the ancient Constantinople DAY 1 / Khartoum – Istanbul by night flight and city sightseeing Departure from Khartoum airport with Turkish Airline. Arrival at Istanbul airport, meet and greet with your local guide and transfer to your hotel. Breakfast and city tour. You will proceed discovering the treasures of this amazing city, gateway to the Western and Eastern world. You will visit first the Basilica Cistern , an extraordinary subterranean cistern featuring a wildly atmospheric forest of columns (336 to be exact), vaulted brick ceilings, mysterious carved Medusa-head capitals and ghostly patrols of carp. This amazing building is a testament to the ambitious town planning and engineering expertise of the Byzantines. You will visit then Aya Sofya , a majestic Byzantine basilica. Built by order of the Emperor Justinian in the sixth century AD, its soaring dome, huge nave and glittering gold mosaic contribute to its reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful buildings, and its long and fascinating history as church, mosque and museum makes it the city’s most revealing time capsule. Looted by marauding Crusaders in the 13 th century, stormed by Ottoman invaders during the Conquest in 1453 and visited by millions of tourists since becoming a museum, it is Turkey’s greatest treasure. You will then visit Topkapi Palace , an opulent Ottoman palace complex occupying the promontory of Istanbul’s Old City. A series of mad, sad and downright bad sultans lived here with their concubines and courtiers between 1465 and 1830, and extravagant relics of their centuries of folly, intrigue, excess, patronage, diplomacy and war are everywhere you look.

  • Palace Gardens in Istanbul; the Example of Topkapi
    IJAUS PALACE GARDENS IN ISTANBUL; THE EXAMPLE OF TOPKAPI YILDIZ AKSOY, ÖZGE GÜRSOY, AYŞEGÜL SEZEGEN, İBRAHİM TEYMUR Abstract Historical gardens as an important type of green areas are important for today's societies in terms of their natural characteristics as well as their historical, cultural and aesthetic values. These historic gardens, which provide an environment for period buildings, are an important part of our cultural heritage, as well as evidence of the past and historical-social change. Palaces and their gardens, which were often built centuries ago, have significant environmental and cultural importance for today's cities and the societies that inhabit them. Istanbul, together with its other natural and cultural features, is also intimately associated with its historical environment of palaces. Istanbul, which is the most populated city in Turkey, possesses a number of palaces, namely Topkapı, Dolmabahce, Cırağan, Yıldız, and Beylerbeyi. The oldest one among them is Topkapı Palace, located on the peninsula where the Bosporus, Golden Horn and Marmara Sea interconnect. Topkapı Palace was the seat of government of the Ottoman Empire and the residence of the sultans for centuries. Keywords: Ottoman, Palace, Topkapı, Garden, Historical Landscape 38 IJAUS 1. Introduction Historical gardens as an important type of green areas are important for today's societies in terms of their natural characteristics as well as their historical, cultural and aesthetic values. These historic gardens, which provide an environment for period buildings, are an important part of our cultural heritage, as well as evidence of the past and historical-social change (Looker and Patrick, 1987).
