Mapping though sense_ Smell mapping of Tarlabaşı


This mapping was the occassion to focus on one sense which is always solicited in Istanbul : smell but in a conscious way. I choose my neighboorhood Tarlabaşı because it is full of different smell changing with the hours, the days and also the part of the quarter. Smell can be particular events that constantly change or ambiant smell that remind the activity of a quarter. Some streets are enlightened even though they are small or unknown. For exemple, Akkiraz Sokagi is a small street where workers cook the mussel the whole day. Kurdela sokagi is on sunday the market street so the smells are different and stronger than the others days. Night smell maps can also be added. We can see that on the other side of Tarlabaşı Bulvar, there is less variety of smells.
