Bare Lives of Sur / BLoS

Spatial Transformation through Power&Violence Relations

During the BAK Fellowship for Situated Practice they will work on the spatial transformation of Diyarbakır in the post-conflict era and investigate the social, cultural, economic, and political effects on society that occurred after the expropriation of Diyarbakır’s structures in 2016 and their subsequent reconstruction, alienated from their environment. Post-migration scenarios and the affected people’s human rights to use public space will be discussed. The complex relation between architecture, power, and violence will be analyzed via philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s concept of “bare life” and “homo sacer” as considered through the lens of imperial powers, (post-)colonialism, and post-migration in Diyarbakır. This research aims to propose a new reading of architectural history with an understanding away from supremacy, antagonism, and colonial and imperialist forms in the intersection of politics, sociology, and architecture. This research explores the possibilities of incorporating the effects of silent violence into the architectural narrative without fetishizing it.
