Seismic Talks: Expert Forum on earthquake safety at new trade fair in Istanbul
During the new "Seismic Safety" trade fair, which will take place at the end of April 2014 in Istanbul, an international forum organised by DETAIL entitled "Seismic Talks" will also be held on the topic of "earthquake-resistant planning and construction". It is aimed at architects and urban planners worldwide. The following are some of the questions and solutions that will be discussed: Which techniques and strategies for earthquake-proof construction do Turkish architects use? What consequences can be drawn from past earthquake disasters, e.g. in Italy or New Zealand? Which synergies arise from international cooperation?
Date: 28. and 29.04.2014, Istanbul, Turkey
Location: Seismic Safety, WOW Convention Center, Atatürk International Airport, Istanbul, Turkey
Date: 28. and 29.04.2014, Istanbul, Turkey
Location: Seismic Safety, WOW Convention Center, Atatürk International Airport, Istanbul, Turkey
On 28. and 29.04.2014 the international dialogue and knowledge exchange at trade fair "Seismic Safety" will be focused on the topic of "earthquake-resistant planning and construction". Together, architects and other experts will develop architectural and urban planning and social solutions for earthquake-prone cities and regions using their experiences from projects in earthquake-prone areas of Istanbul (Turkey), L'Aquila (Italy) and Christchurch (New Zealand).
On the first day of the fair, architects from Turkey will demonstrate using practical examples how urban planning and architecture should approach the topic of earthquake resistance. New construction and renovation projects will be presented and the redesign of entire districts will be discussed. Following the lectures, an open round-table discussion will take place with invited architects and other experts. The results of this discussion will be presented to the partners on the second day in form of brief podium statements, afterwards they will be discussed openly with the visitors of the fair.
Taking place alongside the "Seismic Safety" trade fair will be the "Intergeo Eurasia" trade fair. It will focus on the topics of surveying, geographic information, remote sensing and photogrammetry. The synergies between the two fairs with respect to earthquake resistance will be highlighted in lectures during joint sessions on 28. and 29.04.2014. Visitors can participate in these joint sessions free of charge. The "Seismic Talks" forum will be organised by the architectural journal DETAIL. Architectural historian and Istanbul expert Olaf Bartels will moderate the talks and joint discussion rounds.

Exhibition "Learning from Istanbul – The Use and Appropriation of Urban Space"
The exhibition "Learning from Istanbul - The Use and Appropriation of Urban Space", which will be held during "Seismic Talks" and is organised by Studio HBohle (Berlin, Germany), will show places that make up the identity of Istanbul.
The exhibition "Learning from Istanbul - The Use and Appropriation of Urban Space", which will be held during "Seismic Talks" and is organised by Studio HBohle (Berlin, Germany), will show places that make up the identity of Istanbul.
Improvised and mobile: Each day, thousands of street vendors, shoe shiners and knife sharpeners swarm through the streets of Istanbul and disappear again. Urban niches are filled and threshold spaces occupied. The provisional structures set up on Istanbul's streets allow the goods and services required by its inhabitants to be supplied, and new livelihoods to be established. Performative practices significantly shape the face of the city. The exhibition "Learning from Istanbul - The Use and Appropriation of Urban Space" shows extracts from a comprehensive compendium that illustrates these exceptional structures in detail. Could they be a response to the social and aesthetic erosion of central European urban spaces? Could they point to possible solutions for making urban spaces more earthquake-resistant? The "Filler" and "Slider" categories of the exhibition answer these and other questions.
"Seismic Talks" has been conceived and organised by the architectural journal DETAIL.
