Islam, Republic, Neoliberalism comprises of three network maps where mosques, republican monuments, and shopping centers dispersed throughout Istanbul connect to each other within their areas of influence. These maps present a comparative display of network patterns that are formed through associations linking those architectural structures that represent the three dominant ideologies -–Islam, republic, neoliberalism–- in Turkey.

Network of Mosques connected through overlapping call to prayer sounds of 3000+ mosques in Istanbul (Call to prayer sound reaches ~300 meters in radius).

Network of Republic Monuments connected through physical proximity of the republic monuments/museums in Istanbul.

Network of Shopping Malls connected through overlapping range of reach of the shopping malls in Istanbul.
