Background
CS-Culture and Space was conceived, during the International Conference “Culture and Space in the Home Environment” held in June 1997 in Istanbul. At the “Culture and Space in the Home Environment” symposium many critical questions and evaluations on culture and space interactions in the built environment were identified. Since the world is becoming an increasingly interrelated entity where culture appears more information based and less place and tradition rooted, it seems as a vital issue to evaluate these new trends and paradigms within this perspective. A host group of researches within the IAPS have emphasized the study of the built environment as a means of exploring the conflicts arising between inevitable development and cultural continuity; Culture change and identity; quality and quantity; global and local. Exploring these contradictions and paradigms, researchers from a variety of disciplines are aiming to contribute to the future improvement of the built environment around the world both in rural and urban environment at micro, mezzo and macro-system resolution levels.
Aim of the network
The aim of the Network is to dentify issues and problems related to culture and space interactions in the built environment and facilitate collaborative research studies within and interdisciplinary framework. It is also intended:
- to establish a database,
- to organize meetings such as symposium, workshop,
- to circulate the information between concerned researchers,
- to encourage research studies on the topic
Conferences and meetings
Since its inception the network has organized two types of meetings. First group of meeting is series of international symposium which happen every four years and workshops and network meetings which occur every two years in IAPS main conferences or in other confrernces. The second group of meeting is national symposium and workshops organized in Turkish in Turkey.
