Yener Torun’s Photographs of Istanbul
A Perspective of the Mélange of Real Estate in Istanbul.
When you think of Istanbul what image comes to mind? The fabulous historic skyline? The hustle and bustle of the Bosphorus? Narrow streets filled with historic architectural designs? These and more would only touch upon the amazing variety of scenes that project the multi-dimensional city of Istanbul. Just thinking about the range of diversity in the architecture found in the real estate in Istanbul is a truly amazing experience. Ottoman style to present day offers what each architect’s vision for the city was, a statement on the current time and a predictive of future time. Just walking through one area of Istanbul you will encounter a potpourri of styles, sizes and colour. The use of mosaics, marbling and tiles add to the distinctive feel of some of the buildings but over the years the colours have become muted and even grey in some circumstances. You can find this throughout Turkey but real estate in Istanbul is by far the biggest melting pot of styles.
The architect and photographer, Yener Torun shows us another perspective of Istanbul, one that is maybe not usually associated with the city. He visually, through his photographs, brings to us the colours that can be found in Istanbul. If you are wanting to see something more contemporary within Istanbul’s various architectural styles take a look at his photographs or follow him on Instagram. He highlights modern contemporary design with the uses of geometric shapes enhanced by colour, described as gems these buildings certainly brighten and enhance the city, providing some very attractive real estate in Istanbul for a purchaser or renter and off course a very pleasant perspective for anyone walking by.
