Salt is organizing a program with the support of Kalebodur to mark World Architecture Day, observed on the first Monday of October since 1985. Comprising a screening, a panel discussion, and an urban walk, this year’s program focuses on the work and practices of women architects active in the 20th century. 

As part of the program, a series of photographs documenting Istanbul University’s Central Library will also be accessible at archives.saltresearch.org.
