The project is a collaboration between Vincenzo Meoli, co-founder of Italian born collective, Migrant Landscapes (Paesaggi Migranti) and Ass. Prof. Dr. Ebru Bingöl, Department of Architecture at Mustafa Kemal University, teaming with other professionals from different disciplines.

They met in a workshop in Pennabilli, Italy, that was organized by the collective,  which aims at experimenting mul­tidisciplinary research on landscape and questioning meaning of place through the relationships between human and nature.

As the project guaranteed funding from the Spaces of Culture programme, the group acquired new members from varied disciplines and backgrounds. The team started gathering their attention around Asi River (Orontes) by reading, listening, searching, drawing, framing the forgotten memories of the River and its immense landscape value based on gathered information, stories, myths and personal experiences. The result can be consulted in our ASI Tale section.

Our challenge is to collect and showcase our story inside a global tale of unreachable flowscapes.

PEOPLE

EBRU BINGÖL

 

I am an Assistant Professor Dr. with a PHD in Architecture in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. My research topics include site, context, public space design, site-art (land-art) and involved in national and international workshops and conferences about these topics. I have been in TUDelft (Holland) as a guest researcher, granted by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.  I consulted many urban design projects and awarded in some national design projects. I am keen on being in nature and observing the community and the landscape. Personally, I feel more in-between disciplines and at the intersection between science and art.

ALESSANDRO CARABIA


I am a third year PhD student at the University of Birmingham, working on the archaeology of Byzantine Liguria.  However, it all began when I was a kid, in a mix of Indiana Jones movies and school trips to Etruscan necropoleis. It became more serious at the University of Siena, where I was bewitched by the world of Late Antique and Early Byzantine studies, which ended up in a thesis on the eastern Byzantine frontier under Justinian. After one-year experience into the commercial sector I decided to return to academia with a different perspective and a new project.
