Temas Exhibition Open at Karaköy Palas Welcomes Visitors
Meeting audiences in the historic building constructed in 1920, the event focuses on the neighborhood's past and architectural heritage.
The historic Karaköy Palas building, constructed by Giulio Mongeri in 1920, is hosting the Temas exhibition, curated by Murat Kösemen.
Purpose and Scope of the Exhibition
Curated by Murat Kösemen, the Temas exhibition treats Karaköy Palas not merely as an exhibition space, but as a witness to the transformations the neighborhood has undergone and an integral part of Istanbul's urban memory.
Architect Giulio Mongeri and Period Works
In addition to the building's architectural features, the event extensively covers the life of architect Giulio Mongeri, the architectural understanding of that period, and the architectural works of Mongeri's students and peers across Turkey.
An Architectural Journey Spanning Two Floors
While the first floor of the two-story exhibition addresses the architectural features and history of Karaköy Palas, the second floor focuses on Karaköy's transformation, Mongeri's life, and the projects of his close circle.
In the Nature of a Visual Biography
Curator Murat Kösemen stated that the Temas exhibition is a continuation of the previously held Mümkün exhibition, expressing that it reflects the interactions in Karaköy's development as a financial center and that the work is an enjoyable visual biography exhibition.
