This week, I worked on Turkish history and architectures. My language partner, Gokhan gave me a presentation and taught me the geography or Turkey, and the architectural history of Turkey. It was really interesting for me, because I am minoring in Visual and Media Arts Practice, and took art history class. I had few chance to learn about Turkish architecture, so that the presentation was really helpful and informative. I think I want to do a cultural presentation on the Turkish architecture. There are lots of historical buildings in Turkey that they are tied to the culture. I learned that it is also connected to economy in Turkey. I wrote down several names of buildings including an old library in Ankara. I will keep researching online, and rent books on architecture from UR library. Although I did some research and gave a presentation on Turkish tourism history, it was still interesting and new for me to listen more about Gokhan's presentation on the Turkish legends and politics. It was amazing how people still admire Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who was the founder of the Republic of Turkey. Attached below is the simple version of presentation about Turkish Architecture that I made after I was inspired by Gokhan's presentation.
