Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yırtıcı briefly summarizes his presentation titled “From the Immemorial Space to the House, Its States of Being” prepared for the EMU Faculty of Architecture: “The house has its own states. The states depend on the variety, time and circumstances. It is the object of change throughout history, but it is also our only constant. We attribute a special meaning to the house as an interior against the outside. But it is also the object of political economy, the favorite of the real estate market. Every change in the forces that establish daily life is reflected in the house, reconstructing its meaning and our lives, over and over again. You can listen to the infinite states of the house and every aspect of it telling us about our lives in the series of 'Storyboarding the Home and the City'.
