"ZAMANLIK"

Zamanlık! Safranbolu

ZAMANLIK! 
Safranbolu'da -ÇEKÜL Vakfı sayesinde tanıdıklarımdan- Canbolat'ların blogunda eski samanlıklardan birinin "Zamanlık" olup da zamana karşı nasıl bir ortak bellek oluşturduğunun resmidir! 

For my English speaking friends: 
Gül and İbrahim Canbulat left Istanbul and settled in Safranbolu in 2001. Gülevi Safranbolu project came out in 2003 as an exemplary project of "living through vitalization" in context of rapidly growing culture tourism in Safranbolu. See: http://www.gulevisafranbolu.com/en/hotel. Below, is one of the latest project that they completed and submitted to public use: "Zamanlık" (that was created out of a similar Turkish word "Samanlık"; in English "barn", "hay loft" but the latter here means "somewhere for time"!) Once upon a time, every house in Safranbolu had a "Samanlık" but in time they were disappeared. So that they revitalized one of the old "samanlık"s as a research center for the sake of Safranbolu's "collective memory" by coining it as "Zamanlık"!
