INTERDISCIPLINARY INTERACTION
When it comes to literature and architecture in interdisciplinary interaction, every form of space and life, whether real or fiction, is reflected in every type of writing. From this point of view, although literature and architecture seem to include different disciplines, they are not independent of each other.
Both of them are influenced by the same concern and the same quest, and in essence represent an imaginary, visual, linear and literary production.
Literature and architecture are arts as old as the history of humanity, and they accompany the construction of life, both locally and globally, with the role they play in transferring the past to the future, in the development and maintenance of culture and civilization.
In other words, writing is the textual design of architecture and sheds multi-faceted light on the past, whether abstract or concrete.
It is clear that literature and architecture mediate social representation and narrative, and they often come together in this context.
In many forms such as literature, novels, poems, memories, diaries, epics, travel books, it continues to convey the social structure, urban / spatial texture, culture, destroyed and transformed structures, the relationship between human – nature – city – space, from the past to the present and from the present to the future. .
Spatial narratives, fictional or real images of space, which are depicted in literary works, create environments that are formed in the mind of the reader.
Architecture is not just a technical education, reinforced concrete, materials and drawings. Just like literature, it is the expression of cultural, artistic and social accumulation.
In this context, architecture and literature are fields of art that emerge in line with social realities and have continuity.
