OUR CALL TO THE SECOND
ANNUAL EDA YUKSEL SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE FOR PEOPLE SYMPOSIUM
People’s Architects and
Engineers will be organizing the second annual “Eda Yuksel Science for People,
Engineering for People” Symposium. This year, we are carrying the symposium
into an international level by hosting guest speakers from abroad. In our last
year’s symposium, we covered several topics that imperialism and its local
collaborators have been trying to put into practice including urban
transformation, commercialization of water, transportation, education, energy,
and agriculture. Furthermore, a discussion was held regarding our country’s
dependence on imperialism and its effects on the policies particularly in the
field of engineering and architecture. As engineers and architects, being
public intellectuals in the society, we discussed our roles and how we should
struggle against those policies. In this year’s symposium, we are planning to
bring engineering and architectural case projects from our county and around
the world that are in favor of people. Our goal will be to answer the question
of “how to become engineers and architects for people” throughout the
symposium.
