about.
Bagdat Avenue district (Ä°stanbul), which has come to the forefront as a city summer resort (“sayfiye”) since the first years of the settlement, has gone through 4 major periods of change, evolving from mansions to multi-story buildings from the late 1800s to the present. Especially after the Izmit Earthquake, the region has come to the point of losing its original identity today, with the radical transformation experienced since the 2000s. This collective project aims to build a memory bridge through audiovisual recording and archiving of the lost 'sayfiye' identity and to convey the past residents and their stories to the present.
