In the Turkish project, we find again an idea that Cecilia Alemani had proposed for her Milk of Dreams. The title is a reference to an essay by Ursula K. Le Guin, The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, where the author rewrote the history of humankind imagining different initial conditions. In the same way, Ghost Stories invites us to free our mind from any preconceived notions and to listen to the stories that abandoned buildings tell us. How can these buildings, the result of accelerated urban expansion, be converted, instead of demolished or left behind?
