Antalya, Turkey - This photograph captures the contrast between the traditional Ottoman-style house and the modern apartment building in Kaleici, the Old Town of Antalya. The dilapidated and derelict condition of the former stands in stark contrast to the perfect condition of the latter. The image reflects the changes brought about by urbanization and gentrification, raising concerns about preservation and restoration of the historical architecture that reflects the cultural heritage of the Ottoman, Roman, and Byzantine empires. The juxtaposition of old and new, rundown and perfect, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the authenticity and history of traditional housing in the face of modern urban development.
