Research on Architecture and Westernization in Istanbul
At CCIR Academy, Kaan conducted a research project titled “Tanzimat Westernization to Raimondo D’Aronco’s Architecture: Examination of the Effects of the Architectural Innovations on Istanbul between 1876 and 1922 in the Scope of Art Nouveau.”
His research examines architectural changes in Istanbul between 1876 and 1922. In particular, it explores how Westernization influenced the city’s architecture during the Tanzimat period. The study also considers Raimondo D’Aronco’s influence and the role of Art Nouveau.
