"An area in current discourse about migration and integration that up until now has been given little attention is the migration of spaces. When people move, so do spaces, along with images, cultural practices and lifestyles. Using the example of 'Almancı' houses, built by former Turkish guest workers who return to Turkey, Stefanie Bürkle has investigated the complex and conflicting relationships between German-Turkish identity and built space. The results of the research project provides fascinating and surprising insights into the lives and spaces created by Turkish migrants when they return."
Content:
"Over more than three years, the artist Stefanie Bürkle, along with an interdisciplinary team at the Department of Fine Art at the Institute for Architecture at the TU Berlin, investigated self-built dream houses belonging to migrants who have returned to Turkey. The innovative research approach, viewing space as the basis for visual research into how migration, integration and their inscriptions in the architectural environment can be interpreted, was the main foundation for an interdisciplinary method that overcomes the usual barriers to mixing the disciplines of art and science. Unusual perspectives thus enable access to socially relevant topics through aesthetics and the senses. Migrating Spaces examines the structures and elements belonging to German architectural culture that migrants integrate into the houses they build or apartments they renovate in their culture of origin. What parts of German architectural language are exported abroad? Are there specific 'German' elements on the buildings there? What role does building a house in Turkey have for the translocal identity of the person who builds it? This book describes a typology of returned migrant architecture, both the interiors and exteriors of mostly residential houses, which have been designed and also often built by the owners themselves."
