New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Oblong small 4to. (22 x 26 cm). In English. 340 p., b/w and color ills. Turgutreis, 1974. Turgutreis 1974 is a pioneering study of late 20th century urbanization engaging the evolution of a new municipality on the Bodrum peninsula along the Turkish Southeast Aegean coast. Since 1974, in less than four decades, three small villages with 2,464 inhabitants grew to a new city comprising more than 250,000 summer residents. This study documents in detail the timeless material culture of the original inhabitants, heavily grounded in subsistence agriculture and without modern infrastructure, and with a predominance of livelihoods related to grain and citrus production and traditional building crafts. By the turn of the millennium there had been a complete transition to a service economy for tourism with little left of the original built environment that was displaced by second homes and condominiums. The massive transformation of the original lifeworld typifies the urbanization of much of the Mediterranean coast during this same period, including the entire Bodrum peninsula. The story unfolds through an exacting documentation of the lives and livelihoods of fifteen of the original families including textual material and 140 original drawings and 250 photographs. Also included is an account of the historical development of the peninsula culled from a formal record of more than two thousand years. The research pushes the normative boundaries of built environment studies to include a lexicon of the traditional local building elements and methods, and their transition to modern practice. The field research entailed study over the entire period by the authors with teams from Columbia University and Middle East Technical University. Co-authors of the study are Suha Ozkan, Emeritus Professor of Architecture at METU; and Richard Plunz, Professor of Architecture at Columbia. Ozkan has been Deputy and Secretary General of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture between the years 1982 and 2006; and is presently founder of the Bodrum Architecture Library. Plunz has been Professor of Architecture at Columbia since 1974, where he has directed the Division of Architecture and the Urban Design Program. He is presently Director of the Urban Design Lab at Columbia's Earth Institute.

The frequent fires that occurred in the city were major disasters for its inhabitants, but at the same time created opportunities for the city administrators who intended to push through this modernization. In the aftermath of the 1870 Beyoglu fire, one of the biggest of these fires, a significant change occurered in the realitonship between society and fires. The population of Istanbul became acquainted with insurance that covered fire risks. Numerous insurance companies established branches in Istanbul. Fire insurance became a productive industry. This development turned maps showing the fire risks in the building stock of the city an extremely necessary source of information for insurance companies. Initially, insurance maps were commisioned to the C.E. Goad Company for a rahter limited area of the city between 1904-1906. Later, Jacques Pervititch prepared much more detailed maps covering almost the entire area of the city for the Central Office of Turkish Insurance Agents. Pervititch drew over 230 maps between 1922 and 1945.
