Invited Talk in Antalya on Human Rights and Architecture

 "Architecture and Human Rights" was the theme of the 2011 World Day of Architecture. We have been invited by Antalya Chamber of Architects to give lectures on architecture and human rights. After a welcome speech of the head of Chamber of Architects, as the first lecture, I talked on "Architecture, Space and Human Rights", then Dr. Zeybekoglu Sadri did her speech on "The City, Urban Transformation and Human Rights".  In addition to professionals' involvement, participation of staff and students of Akdeniz University made the programme and QA and discussion part really excited. You can read more in Turkish from the website of Chamber of Architects:
