Nowadays, all countries seem to be seeking one pressing issue and that is heritage maintenance, especially in Architecture and Urban design. Organizations and Universities play a vital role in saving or rather conserving old cities through Conferences. Therefore, a conference on “Cities’ Identity Through Architecture & Arts” will be held in 2018.

In this conference, examples, and tendencies dealing with urban identities as well as the transformation of cities that shape the current art scene in different places of the world will be discussed. This type of architectural art continuously renews itself -from new materials to different means of communication, from new approaches to perceptional paradigms and nature in the millennium, from new subjects to manifestations. Contemporary art continues to be produced in various directions, consumed and put forward into ideas.

This conference will present how citizens see their cities and how they physically or mentally compare it with the ideal city in their own perceptions.

However, a city’s identity presents distinguishing factors that make it unique and unlike any other.

IEREK aims to dedicate the investigation of the different and new approaches developed in Architecture and Contemporary arts.
