For some time now, Antalya Culture and Arts Center's Forum Antalya hall, which hosts exhibitions focusing on Antalya, is hosting student works from Antalya Science University's Department of Architecture that offer new approaches and solutions to the city's current and critical issues. The exhibition, which can be viewed until August 29, 2021, will also feature a series of talks titled "Antalya in the Workshop," where faculty members from the university's Department of Architecture will engage with participants through parallel discussions.
The third talk in the "Antalya in the Workshop" series will be held on Friday, August 13, 2021, and will feature Dr. Hülya Aybek and Lecturer Ramazan Sarı with a talk titled "Greenhouses in Antalya and Their Integration with the City." Lecturer Beste Sabır will moderate the talk.
The rapidly growing world, with its urban populations changing shape and theme due to migration, is turning to solutions to new problems. Experts have included energy efficiency, the driving forces of the information technology sector, and other key issues of the millennium, as well as smart cities, sustainable urban models, and food security, in their new frameworks awaiting solutions. Developing countries are resorting to incorrect, incomplete, and unsustainable solutions to feed their rapidly growing urban populations; these solutions do not support economic development, harm the natural environment, create social injustice, and endanger the future of the city and its inhabitants. Although unsustainable, rapid, and thoughtless solutions may seem to solve the problem in the short term, they lay the groundwork for bigger problems in the long term. The rapid and incorrect growth of cities, the food system, and food security necessitate sustainable development plans. This presentation will share a study conducted in Antalya province on ways to create a sustainable urban model using greenhouse structures.
