The exhibition, curated by Hasan Kuruyazıcı, aims to manifest the contribution of Armenian architects, most of whom are now forgotten, who lived in Istanbul in the beginning of 20th century and who have played a significant role in the shaping of Istanbul.

The exhibition features life stories of more than 40 Armenian architects who lived in Istanbul between late 19th century and early 20th century, the history and the photos of more than 100 buildings.

The exhibited photographs of buildings, listed by Hasan Kuruyazıcı after long trips in the streets of Kurtuluş-Tatavla, Pangaltı, Taksim, Cihangir, Tarlabaşı, Tünel, Galata, Eminönü and Mahmutpaşa, show us the contribution of Armenian architects during the westernization process of Istanbul.

The exhibition, designed by Erkal Yavi was shown on April 13-30 in Istanbul, Bahçehir University and on May 13-31 in Ankara, Çankaya Municipality Exhibition Hall for Contemporary Art.

After these displays, the exhibition travelled to Armenia and was opened at the National Museum Institute of Architecture in Yerevan, on June 14. The exhibition was then shown in Gyumri between September 21-29, and in Vanadzor between October 2 – November 26.
