Michael Wolgemut, Views of Constantinople, Nuremberg Chronicle, c. 1493.
Architecture student Evan Wakelin has produced drawings that juxtapose the old and new homes of migrants in Toronto, to convey the emotional and physical upheaval these people experience. Wakelin’s thesis research project is part of his ongoing studies at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, where he is enrolled on the Master of Architecture course.
“The drawings illustrate hypothetical migrations to the city, whereby the original home of the migrant is layered with their current home within the city of Toronto,” explained Wakelin in his thesis research paper. “This intersection of past and present, over different geographical locations, describes a divided identity where the sense of belonging and sentiment exist somewhere in between.”

Kyz Kala, a 7th-century CE fortress outside of the city of Merv (in modern day Turkmenistan). Although now off the beaten path, Merv was a central trade city along the Silk Roads because it was near a key oasis in the dry central Asian environment. By the twelfth century, it was one of the largest cities in the world, containing perhaps 200,000 people. When the Mongols arrived in the 1220s, they supposedly slaughtered almost the entire population of the city, and Merv never regained its prominence.
