Editor's Note:
Istanbul is rare among world cities for having apartment buildings named after animals, plants, and fruit, even feelings. From the early 1900s to the 1970s, these names were painted on apartment entrances as elegant, idiosyncratic signs. In the present day, these unacknowledged works of art are threatened by rampant urban renewal and gentrification. A landmark volume on Istanbul’s history and architecture, The Disappearing City contains a collection of more than three thousand such hand-painted apartment-name signs from various historical districts of Istanbul. In documenting the work of certain early 20th-century sign-painters such as M. Haytayan, A. Levi and G. Vrioni, this study also documents the stories of Armenian, Jewish and Greek artisans who once lived in Istanbul.Hundreds of accessory photographs; belonging to historic structures, vernacular architecture and associated urban details are also shared alongside the extensive collection of hand-painted signs. The Disappearing City: Hand-painted Apartment Signs and Architectural Details from 20th-Century Istanbul will be a source of reference for architects, designers, artists, photographers, historians, urban studies specialists, and more; for generations to come…In two volumes; 615 and 497 pages; 5000+ colour photographs.
