TEMP’s second workshop brought together students from Dr. Faika Çelik’s class at Manisa Celal Bayar University in Türkiye and the doctoral students in Dr. Ipek Türeli’s Fall 2025 ARCH 711/712 Proseminar at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture at ��VR��Ƶ. Throughout the semester, the ��VR��Ƶ doctoral students worked with oral history interviews from the TEMP website—first by closely analyzing an interview of their choice, and then by developing a research-creation project grounded in that material.

During the workshop, Dr. Çelik’s students presented their experiences conducting interviews and shared additional insights about their interviewees. The ARCH 711/712 students, in turn, engaged with these presentations by posing prepared questions and discussing connections to their own developing projects.
