Abstract: This article is dedicated to the cherished memory and honor of our beloved Instructor Erkin Aytaç, a faculty member at METU Faculty of Architecture, who left us three years ago, passing into eternity and leaving an irreplaceable void among us.The author's scholarly interest and academic journey related to Istanbul's Moda district initially began years ago as a research assistant during a 3rd-year architectural design studio excursion alongside Erkin Aytaç.That memorable trip rapidly evolved into a profound intellectual engagement, marked by delightful memories and inspiring reflections upon the intricate urban fabric, historical richness, and vibrant cosmopolitan life of Istanbul and Moda.In this context, the author finds it a profound duty to express sincere respect, deep gratitude, and heartfelt appreciation to all professors of the METU Faculty of Architecture, whose dedicated teaching and mentorship have contributed significantly to this article's formation, as well as to the author's understanding of related historical, social, urban, and modernist concepts.
