Editorial Y. Çağatay SEÇKİN t &EJUPS

It’s already December. Can you believe it? Personally, 2017 felt like it just flew by. At the same time, I’m feeling really fulfilled and grounded. Because despite my failures, I learned a lot and I know they will help me in following years. I hope, you all are in agreement with me about that. Anyway, as the year fades away, let’s leave aside our personal feelings about 2017, and look back at some of the memorable architectural and design events of 2017. There is no doubt, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg is the architectural highlight of the year, which was opened in January 2017. Hamburg’s long-awaited and hugely expensive building has opened after 16 years of planning and construction. The Elbphilharmonie is the first concert hall designed by the Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron. Initial plans were priced at 186 million Euros, with the opening scheduled for 2010. After a succession of delays, revisions and legal disputes, the final bill for the city came to 798 million Euros, leading to political debates and public protests. After all these debates and protests, much of the initial curiosity is directed at the architecture by all means. The building is Hamburg’s new landmark, visible from far down the river and an icon of contemporary architecture. With its contemporary glass crystal, the Elbphilharmonie dynamically contrasts with its historical brick plinth, Kaispeicher A. The Kaispeicher A, designed by Werner Kallmorgen and constructed between 1963 and 1966, was originally used as a warehouse for cocoa beans until the end of the last century. The new building has been extruded from the shape of the Kaispeicher A and is perfectly compatible with the brick block. In contrast to the stoic brick facade of the Kaispeicher A, the glass facade of the new building transforms the new building into a gigantic crystal that catches the reflections of the sky, the water and the city

and transforms them into a complex puzzle on its facade. Actually, Hamburg, as an old trading city, is Germany’s principal port and its second-biggest city. But despite its fame, its soccer team lags near the bottom of the Bundesliga, and few international tourists visit. In recent decades, Hamburg has marketed itself as Germany’s capital of musicals. But the city’s robust classical-music scene is still overshadowed by Berlin and Munich. The new hall is expected to change that by raising the standards of the ensembles that will play in its inspiring and acoustically excellent interiors. The building is sufficiently spectacular and it can create a Bilbao Effect a reference to the Spanish city that became a major tourist destination, thanks to its Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim. With its waterfront position and optimistic thrust, the Elbphilharmonie also brings to mind Sydney’s Opera House, another landmark building that was criticized during its construction for overrunning budgets and missing deadlines. As well as critiques about Herzog & de Meuron’s Elbphilharmonie, Kengo Kuma’s self-criticism was also a remembered event from 2017. Kuma is particularly well-known for his use of wood which he incorporated into multiple buildings. He is even using wood to construct the stadium for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics where he won the competition. However, his early career was dominated by projects that were more experimental in style and form. In an exclusive interview, Kuma said he now avoids that type of architecture all together: “To be honest, sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed by some of my buildings. I studied the history of architecture and discovered that the basis for the European and American architecture tradition was in fact Ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Later, when I studied at Columbia University in New York City, I realized through discussions with my Americans friends that I should study Japanese architecture because I’m Japanese. In America, they have great knowledge of European architecture, but as I studied Japanese architectural history, I found depth

that one could view as equal to that of the European and American history of architecture. I realized that traditional Japanese wooden architecture is as great as Ancient Roman architecture. And that’s actually the result of my American experience.” As understood from this dialogue, Kuma is not a typical arrogant star architect. In fact, he is not quite fond of his old experimental-style buildings, such the M2 building in Tokyo which showcases an eclectic mix of styles and received a wave of negative publicity and criticism. He openly states that: “My method is to avoid heroic gestures, because you get to a point where the heroics kill the beauty of the material. I want to find a balance expressing form and material. The form of the building should be as subtle as possible, because then the material’s character can reveal itself. If the balance is there, it’s beautiful.” After this excerpt from the interview with Kenzo Kuma, let me talk about two architecture books in English that stuck in my mind from 2017. Four Walls and a Roof by Reinier de Graaf and Architecture and the Turkish City: An Urban History of Istanbul since the Ottomans by Murat Gül. Reinier de Graaf, in his book, talks about the rise and fall of Marzahn, a colossal East German housing development, built of factory-made standardized components. He recounts his own practice’s entanglements with the politics of Putin’s court, when trying to build something in Russia. One chapter consists entirely of quotations by famous architects, justifying their decisions to work for the Chinese government and other tyrannies. In brief, it is sharp, revealing, funny and strongly recommended. Murat Gül’s book was also another interesting book that I read in 2017. By exploring Istanbul’s modern architectural and urban history, Gül highlights

the dynamics of political and social change in Turkey from the late-Ottoman period until today. Looking beyond pure architectural styles or the physical manifestations of Istanbul’s cultural landscape, he offers critical insight into how Turkish attempts to modernize have affected both the city and its population. I really enjoyed this book where Gül laid out his argument on how architecture tells the city’s history as well as creates its fabric. Actually, in 2017, there are more memorable, confusing or spectacular topics for sure. But, not the pages reserved for this editorial nor the time of readers will be enough to tell all of them. So, I would like to put an end with a quote said by Babette Porcelijn in 2017. Porcelijn trained as an industrial designer, but recently authored a book titled Hidden Impact, which reveals the full extent to which human actions affect the planet. According to Porcelijn, the biggest human impact on the planet is the manufacture of new products. She advices designers to completely rethink their approach. She believes designers are better equipped than any other profession to offer solutions to issues such as pollution, climate change and depletion of resources. She says; “Scientists can show us what we should not do, but we need designers, not scientists, to show us what we should do and how to change the World.” As it always has been, I would like to thank all our readers for the support they provide to the Journal. We really look forward your comments, contributions, suggestions and criticisms. Please do not hesitate to share with us your feelings and especially, let us know if you have ideas or topics that we could be focusing on. Enjoy your reading and meet with us again in next issue on March 2018. Happy new year!

Abstract Export capacity can be used to integrate global networks in order to facilitate and enhance regional economic development. This tactic has been especially prevalent since the 1990s. This study focuses on the relationship between export capacity and regional economic success based on case study findings in 81 Turkish provinces. The findings of the case study are first discussed in terms of Turkish geography. Modeling results show that although there is a positive and significant relationship between regional income and industrial development in terms of export capacity, a region’s centrality in national networks is not related to its export capacity. Accordingly, the positive relationship between a border effect and export capacity is likely to yield economic development strategies for border regions. Keywords Border regions, Export capacity, Global networks, Regional economic success, Provinces in Turkey.


1. Introduction Export capacity has been an effective way of integrating global networks, and has frequently been used in scientific articles as an unambiguous measurement of global networks (Rodrigue, ¹BWVʰHJM ,OJHIU *Ocreasing exports in high value-added products is an important regional economic development strategy.

Here, regional income data is primarily used in addition to other related economic variables.

In this context, sub-hypotheses determine which indicators are to be used to measure economic success and the relation of these indicators to the export capacity. Accordingly, this research contributes to the evaluation and reexamination of regional economic framework. The paper is organized as follows.

Regional growth discussions regarding exports were based on the expectation that exports would bring economic success and income increases.

Specifically, regional integration into the global economy is one of the most important factors determining regional development and potential development. In general, a region’s competitive advantage is measured by its integration into global networks. In this vein, a region’s industrial production plays an important role in its economic success. Industrial clustering approaches, which emerged in tandem with internal growth approaches, are indicative of how important industry is for economic success. These approaches focus on the spatial and organizational structure of particular JOEVTUSJFT %FMHBEP FU BM $PPLF .PSHBO 4DIJNJU[ "Mthough studies on clustering primarily emphasize emerging local networks of related industries, various studies have shown that the capacity of local clusters to connect with global networks contributes to the economic success of UIFJS SFHJPOT "SNBUM‘ FU BM &SBZE‘O "SNBUM‘ #BQUJTUB Such geographically disparate interre-

Accordingly, the mobility of capital and information define urban networks. People, capital, and information networks play an important role in the power and centrality of cities within larger networks. Interestingly, economic success in global urban approaches is formulated through global networks, while being centralized in national networks is not directly linked to economic success.

Thus, this geographical and political reality must be utilized to gain competitiveness for regional economic success. 3. Methodological aspects of the case study; Export capacity and regional economic success This study investigates how provincial economic success influences export capacity, which is considered to be an effective way of connecting with global networks. Important metrics of provincial economic success are employment in the manufacturing sector, regional income, integration into the national network, and the border effect. In response, the following research questions have been posed: t Is there a relationship between export capacity and income level in a region? t How does a regionally clustered manufacturing industry affect regional export capacity? t How does integration into a national market affect regional export capacity? t What is the relationship between border regions and regional export capacity?

The last variable addressed in the model was the border effect, with the expectation that spatial proximity to exporting countries will increase export capacity. In previous studies, both regional development and economic success were lower in border provinces.

In this vein, if a region is integrated into global networks, it may prefer not to engage in competition in the national market. The last variable in the model, the border effect, had a positive effect on export capacity and a significance level of 0.01. This variable also had the highest coefficient of variation. While the other variables were consistent with and reflected regional development, the border effect required the analysis of less developed border regions. The analysis showed that in the economic development of the border regions, increasing export capacity was an important regional development strategy. 5.Conclusion Export analysis at the provincial level reveals that exporting provinces are located in the West and South of Turkey. There are four main export

zones: the Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, and Adana-Gaziantep regions.

These findings suggest that export capacity plays an important role in the economic success of Turkish regions. In particular, there is a positive relationship between regional income level, export capacity, and regional economic success. Moreover, the modeling results show that there is a meaningful relationship between the clustering of manufacturing industry and regional export capacity.

Abstract Darkale rural settlement is a village of Soma, Manisa. The main intention of this study is to make conservation aimed evaluation of the historical development of Darkale by questioning the physical characteristics of the present historical settlement with emphasis on its housing units. The way followed is literature review, archive research in the official website of the state archives; field survey, analysis and evaluation of Darkale with the tools of the discipline of architectural restoration; and interpretation of historical data together with physical data. The archive documents, monumental buildings and the settlement pattern, especially the organization of the housing units have provided a framework for interpreting Turkish period. Nevertheless, for the historical evaluation of the pre-Turkish period, further geo-prospection and archeological research are necessary. In all periods, the brook-valley system has been the gathering, production and commercial area of the settlement. The elevated plateau at the east of Darkale brook with full vista of the surroundings is evaluated as the earliest settlement area in Turkish period. It is relatively safe in terms of its elevated position and has preserved its authenticity. The latter settlement area, circumscribing the plateau at its north, west and south presents various solutions to cope with the high inclination: stone retaining walls, increase in number of stories, passages over streets, and increase in the amount of relations with neighbors including vertical interaction of housing units. Keywords Darkale village, Rural architecture, Rural settlement, Settlement history.

The earliest settlement area is relatively safer in terms of its elevated position and more comfortable in terms of its flatness giving way to the possibility of small courtyards. The settlement pattern has preserved its authenticity in terms of its fountains, ovens, small lot sizes, open hayat façades, blind side and rear facades, stone street covering and earthen roof, but in poor state of preservation. The latter settlement area presents solutions to cope with the high inclination such as stone retaining walls, increase in number of stories, passages over streets, and increase in the amount of relations with neighbors including vertical interaction of housing units.

Abstract Aim of the present article1 is to investigate the impact of trade liberalization on the evolution of regional income inequalities in Turkey between 2004-2011. Despite the large body of literature on this subject, there exists several directions which needs to be further explored. i. so far in the literature, the concept of trade openness is too broadly defined. However, it is not only ‘trade’ per se that can affect the regional economies but the composition of trade is also of great importance (Rodriquez-Pose and Gill, 2006). Indeed, it can be partitioned into two components, such as exports and imports. We analyze separately the impact of each component on the evolution of regional inequalities. ii. in most of the empirical studies dealing with this issue, neighboring regions are assumed to have no spatial economic interconnection between each other. We, therefore, incorporate spatial spillovers of trade and growth into our analysis. Our results are summarized in two groups: First, regional inequalities in Turkey are quite sizable but tend to decline over the period of analyses. Second, initially poorer regions that experience an export-based liberalization tend to grow faster than richer ones. Imports, on the other hand, have an opposite effect. Keywords Regional inequality, Trade liberalization.

1. Introduction 4JODF UIF T JOUFSOBUJPOBM GSFF trade has widely been recognized as promoting the economic growth in a variety of theoretical and empirical models (Dollar and Kraay, 2004; 'SBOLFM BOE 3PNFS .PTU JOfluential, Hecksher-Ohlin-Samuelson theory suggests that trade liberalization is likely to bring about substantial productivity gains by pushing countries to specialize according to their comparative advantage and relocating the production factors between tradable and non-tradable sectors (Daumal and Ă–zyurt, 2011; Ă–zyurt and Daumal 2011). In a similar vein, it is expected to induce the productivity by easenning the transmission of know-how and technology spillovers among tradJOH QBSUOFST $PF BOE )FMQNBO (SPTTNBO BOE )FMQNBO 0QFOning up the markets may also increase the internal competition that, possibly, forces local firms to improve their operational and managerial efficiency and upgrade their production systems (Daumal and Ă–zyurt, 2011; Fu, 2004). Although merits of trade are well known at the country level, its varying impact on regional economies remain largely ambiguous (Rodriquez-Pose, 2012). In other words, not all regions within a country can equally benefit the trade liberalization. In contrast, some of them are likely to generate greater benefits that constributes to the widenning or reduction of interregional disparities (Elveren, 2010). Despite its importance, the debate on the link between trade openess and regional inequality has not yet been conclusive in the literature (BrĂźlhart, 2011). 0O UIF POF IBOE B DMBTT PG /&( /FX &DPOPNJD (FPHSBQIZ NPEFMT argue that trade liberalization is likely to contribute to the reduction of disparJUJFT ,SVHNBO BOE &MJ[POEP Accoring to this claim, as a country opens its markets to trade, core regions tend to become less attractive for firms (Ă–zyurt and Daumal, 2011). Since land costs, internal competition, congestion and labor costs are high in large metropoliten areas, advantages created by locational concentration can not exceed these costs (Ă–zyurt and Daumal,

2011). Hence, firms prefer to relocate and move towards peripheral regions in search of a higher profit margin and ĕOFS FDPOPNJD DMJNBUF 'BO BOE $BTFUUJ 3PESJRVF[ 1PTF BOE (JMM 2006). Such a diffusion process is likely to foster the economic growth in backward regions and contribute to the reduction of income disparities. On the other hand, a group of scholars adopt a counter view by arguing that trade liberalization provides additional benefits to developed regions $SP[FU BOE ,PFOJH .ZSEBM 3JWBT ćF SBUJPOBMF CFIJOE UIJT claim is attributed to the advantages of agglomeration and centripetal effects of trade openess (in accordance with .ZSEBM

focusing on Turkey is rather scarce. In fact, Turkey is a country that includes large socio-economic and territorial imbalances as well as diverse economic structure and labor force across regions (Erkut and BaypÄąnar, #BZQ‘OBS BOE &SLVU (F[JDJ BOE )FXJOHT :‘ME‘S‘N ½DBM BOE ½[Z‘ME‘S‘N )FODF UBDLMJOH UIF spatial disparities and maintaining the economic and social cohesion is one of the major political concerns. In addition, Turkey has experienced a period of rapid liberalization over the MBTU GFX EFDBEFT 'SPN T UP T policies favouring the economic liberalization have been implemented. Such that the main growth startegy has switched from an import substitution approach to an export-led growth. Hence, we think it is crucial to identify the winners and loosers of this process to be able to provide relevant insights to policy makers which is one of the major targets of the present study. Second, so far in the literature, the consept of trade openess is too broadly defined. In reality, trade can be partitioned into several components, such as exports and imports In fact, each component can have far different effect on regional economies. In support of this argument, Rodriquez-Pose and Gill (2006) suggests that it is not only ‘trade’ per se that affect the regional inequality but the composition of trade is also of great importance. As trade shifts from from exports to imports (or manufacturing to agriculture) or vice verse, the implications on regional growth patterns can significantly change (Leichenko and Silvia, 2004). For these reasons, we intend to analyze separately the impact of each component on the evolution of regional inequalities. ćJSE JO NPTU PG UIF FNQJSJDBM TUVEies dealing with this issue, regions are assumed to have no economic interconnection between each other. In contrast, the importance of spatial spillovers of trade and income among the economic systems are well documented in the literature (Ertur and ,PDI ćVT XF Ä•OE JU VTFGVM to incorporate spatial factors into our analysis. Failing to do so, might in fact lead to distorted results due to a neglected spatial dependence.

Bachelor represents the education level and human capital stock of the regions which is measured by the number of university graduates in total regional population. ln_pop is the population of regions used to capture the impact of different economic sizes of regions. Finally, Îźi,t is the error term which is assumed to follow, iid(0,Ďƒ), an identical and independent normal distribution with zero mean and constant variance. With regard to the estimation method, one of the most important shortcomings of simple OLS is the problem of neglected endogeneity and spatial dependence.

Abstract The decision-makers’ choices regarding the design and construction of educational spaces have a direct impact on the academic culture. With regard to the design studios, the physical conditions of the studio spaces specifically act as the main element that creates the studio culture. The present study aims at understanding the relationship between the spatial transformation and the expectations of the students. Following a post occupancy approach, we asked, “What can we learn from collection of individual evaluations of students’ on transformed studio environment?� and “Where does this knowledge fit in the readily available literature on built environment and learning spaces?� Twenty-five students are asked to write texts on their expectations related to a transformed studio in which they were receiving education at the time of the study. The texts are first examined for the frequency of the words used via cloud analysis. Following that analysis, two independent evaluators identified the phenomena in the texts and conducted a content analysis. The student expectations are classified into two main groups: Learning Experiences and Spatial Experiences. Learning experience involves three subgroups namely variation in work practices, creativity and social interactions and spatial experience is made up of physical comfort and furniture subgroups. Although during the spatial transformation, some improvement have been made, they did not completely fulfill the students’ expectations. The present study proposes that in such spatial transformations, it would be possible to attain user satisfaction when decision-makers follow participatory processes in which all groups that would be effected can participate. Keywords Studio education, Post occupancy evaluation, Content analysis, Learning experience, Interior.

Today, we cannot avoid facing the reality that the learning expectations of the new generation of students are different and responding to these in design of campus environments is more crucial than ever 3VČP The present study seeks to understand the evaluations of the students regarding the spatial transformation carried out in the studios after the change in the studio pedagogy followed by the institutions. In order to frame the study we asked “What can we learn from collection of individual evaluations of students’ about a transformed studio environment?� and “Where does this knowledge fit in the readily available literature on built environment and learning spaces?� The literature review of this study is threefold. First, the literature on built environment and learning spaces will be discussed, and second review of literature on the design studio will be presented.

Post occupancy evaluation of a transformed design studio


In the first project class that was held at the new studio, a post occupancy evaluation was carried out to understand which aspects of the student expectations are fulfilled by this new space. Another aim was to have this study act as a source in the form of a case study on the given studio topic that is focused on education spaces. With post occupancy evaluation of this studio, a research-focused approach is followed with a goal of making students question the use/occupancy of the buildings, which are assigned to them as the project topic, via different techniques. Within this framework, the students had the opportunity to experience the post occupancy evaluation approach initially as a participant and later as an implementer. An approach that considers research to be an integral part of undergraduate education as well as acknowledging research-focused education to be scientific are now XJEFMZ BDDFQUFE #PZFS #PZFS BOE .JUHBOH ,FQF[ *O this context, the design studio is not an environment that is merely designed upon debatable tastes and personal approaches, where the instructors are the “masters� and the students are the “apprentices�. On the contrary, the studio is an environment of interaction and sharing where the provision of education is considered within the framework of “scholarship of teaching�. This, in turn, makes the studio a research space which is nourished by knowledge from other disciplines, where accepted research findings are shared and where the students and instructors investigate their questions and several phenomena together. This definition also pertains to the studio where the present research is undertaken and the work discussed in the article is also among the studio components. 6. Methodology Post occupancy evaluation is an approach that incorporates various action SFTFBSDI NFUIPET ;FJTFM ćFTF methods may involve short visits by the experts of the field to the building that will be evaluated, and reports of a certain pre-determined format they prepare on the observations and views CBTFE PO UIFTF WJTJUT ;JNSJOH

In addition to that, other post occupancy evaluation methods such as focus groups and new generation post occupancy evaluations that use mobile technologies for data collection are BWBJMBCMF 6MUJNBUFMZ QPTU PDDVQBODZ evaluation techniques form a rich scale and they are field techniques that are designed in line with the goal, time and budget. When preliminary criteria are set for post occupancy evaluation, this in turn, leads to a reduction of the occupant feedback into only these preset criteria. When the pedagogical approach at the project studio is considered, it becomes obvious that evaluating complex phenomena with a reductionist method will not help students build awareness on the issue. Based on this premise, no preset criteria were determined, instead students were asked to write texts accounting their experiences in this new studio. This way, rather than being given predetermined criteria, which may be leading, the students focused on their own experiences. In fact, each text has the characteristic of an open ended question they answered regarding their spatial experience. Through these texts, the students are expected to build the act of designing the studio space over their own learning practices, making use of their own experiences. With the texts the students are asked to write, the aim was to make them criticize the learning space, system and style and thus re-think on the studio space, face the problems and evaluate them.

Conclusion Presented study carried out content analyses of individual texts written about a transformed studio by students and reported multiple aspects of environment that played role in students’ learning and spatial experiences in the studio environment. There are a few limitations of the study. The first one is related to the fact that the research focused only on the area where the spatial transformation in the building is carried out without considering its relationship to the other related spaces. Moreover, the research was done at a time when the students have experienced the studio for just two weeks. Additionally, due to the fact that the research is carried out as an integrated part of the project taught at the studio, it was not possible to keep the identity PG UIF TUVEFOUT BOPOZNPVT )PXFWFS through the democratic and participatory execution of the classes, the students are reassured to freely express their thoughts at every phase of the studio.

experience. This control entails being able to modify both physical comfort components and spatial components according to personal preferences and even having a say in the activities that take place as a part of the studio education. The present work reveals that the students highlight the necessity of a studio environment which goes beyond being a space that fulfills the students’ expectations regarding physical environment and furniture components. They seek a space where they can work individually and in groups, be inspired to work for long stretches of time, interacting and communicating not only with their own classmates but also with academicians from their own discipline as well as from other disciplines. The present research indicates the modifications detached from the views of the occupants will not yield satisfaction. The studio spaces, which are the focus of this work, are turned into large and spacious spaces from constricted, tight places, however this is not enough to fulfill the expectations of the students completely. As a result, we see that the students’ expectations regarding studio space and the views of decision-makers, who consider studios merely as physical environments where classes are held, do not match. It is important to handle the processes related to creation of spaces through participatory design workshops where all user groups that will be affected by these decisions are involved in the process. The buildings and studio spaces, where design education is provided, should be exemplary living environments by offering humanistic standards for future designers and architects. It is not a coincidence that the context of this research and the research that are carried out at universities with very prominent design schools report similar complaints, even when the spaces are high-budgeted designs created by well-known architects. The buildings that look pleasant and nice and that are impressive at first glance can be embraced only as much as the quality they add to the lives of their daily occupants. On the other hand, it is also an issue of debate how much an occu-

pant-focused, participatory approach is pursued in studio education. In other words, the design studio also has the responsibility to be the space where the students learn to include the occupants in the design process. Within that context, the studio where this study is carried out followed a research based approach by employing a user-oriented design knowledge. Applying textual content analysis as a post occupancy evaluation method is a novel approach as well as the original findings of this study. The study is replicable, and it would be interesting to conduct study in different learning environments in different cultures. From a more general perspective, as we witness an era when the universities redefining their own existence when most of the knowledge and educational training can be freely accessed online, quality of physical environments and their outcomes become even more crucial. At a time the competition in higher education is globally on the rise, the frequently used concept of “being student focusedâ€? undoubtedly necessitates spaces developed with a focus on students.

Abstract This article is the result of a study which aimed to evaluate how a group of resettled residents have adapted to their new houses in Istanbul. The removal of squatter dwellers and their relocation to social housing units affect their quality of life after the removal. To assess the quality of life of residents who have now been living for a long time in social housing after their slums were demolished by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, interviews were conducted with the aid of a questionnaire. A total of 506 interviews was completed in the districts of Eyup, Kartal and Sisli. The results of this research shall serve to provide valuable information, from which improvements in future social housing projects can be made. In the analyses of interview and questionnaire data, seven areas were identified: (1) living conditions, (2) physical factors, (3) environmental factors, (4) comparisons for social relationships, (5) access to services, (6) economic factors, (7) general satisfaction. At the completion of the research, it was found that the users seemed to be more satisfied with the physical factors than the social factors following the demolition of the slums. This study is important insofar as it helps to show that some methods are essential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of social housing produced by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. In addition, the study may enable practitioners and policy makers to identify ways of improving the quality of life for social housing residents and the sustainability of new social housing developments.

1. Introduction To cope with the problem of housing, a basic human necessity, in Turkey, people resort to constructing unauthorized buildings, or gecekondus in Turkish (Bodur, 2012). The gecekondu, which is known by different names (squatter house, slums, shanty, ghetto, rancho, favelas, gourbeville, and bidonville) in various countries, has emerged in Turkey as unauthorized and illegal buildings erected in plots that do not belong to the person(s) building on them. An example of a gecekondu in the district of KâÄ&#x;Äąthane is shown in 'JHVSF *O UIJT TUVEZ XF FYBNJOF IPX gecekondu owners have experienced the change in their living conditions after moving to social housing in Istanbul. As part of the study, a clear analysis of the relationship between quality of life and social housing policies are explained in order to arrive at indicators and measures for the determination of quality of life. The primary limitation of this study is that it involved a very specific target group, namely, residents who live in social housing units develPQFE CZ UIF )PVTJOH %FQBSUNFOU PG the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality after the demolition of gecekondus. Theoretical studies based on quality of life were examined once the problem, aim, assumptions, limitations, methods and steps of the present study had been determined and the study’s contribution to the relevant literature had been confirmed. Additionally, quality of life studies conducted in developed and developing countries which involved the indicators used in this study were reviewed. The quality of life of families can be strongly influenced by various needs, challenges and obstacles (Soliman et al., 2015). Throughout the world, especially in the developed countries, it has been observed that starting towards the end of the 1970s, housing environments have created an atmosphere of discomfort and dissatisfaction for people (Zainal et al., 2012). The mass migration and urbanization actions that resulted from intensification of industrial productivity, especially after the Second World War, have increased the need for housing and thereby has generated a housing crisis of sorts (Gur,

2009). Today, the rapidly changing living conditions have fundamentally altered expectations and priorities in life. In this post-modern globalized era, where economic growth and disparities co-exist, studies on human welfare and quality of life take on even greater significance (Jha and Tripathi, 2014).

Slum clearance and resettlement schemes have become an increasingly common feature of life in the world. However, resettlement in new homes is not easy for residents (Camargo-Cavalheiro and Abiko, 2015). Improving the lives of slum dwellers has been recognized as one of the essential means to ending poverty worldwide 6/ )BCJUBU 4PDJBM QSPCMFNT disparities, well-being and quality of life are the new domains of geographic study in this post-modern era. Quality of life studies are becoming more relevant in the pursuit of the inclusive development of society and country (Jha and Tripathi, 2014). Starting from the beginning of the twentieth century, rapid and often uncontrolled urban development has not only had a negative impact on nature, but has also led to the deterioration of quality of life for individuals (Oren and Yuksel, 2013). Since the 1960s, the social housing projects being undertaken in developing countries have focused on relocating people from the slums surrounding the largest cities, (Pulat, 1992). In recent years, certain government agen-

cies have been involved in this effort of relocating the urban poor (Booth and Camp, 2007). The rapid, malformed development and growth of cities has led to a decline in the quality of life of the city’s inhabitants (Oren and Yuksel, 2013). Moreover, although a review of the international literature shows that studies on quality of life have been conducted regularly over a long period of time, in Turkey, quality of life research is relatively new (Seker, 2011). The quality of urban life is negatively affected when there is an increase in the people’s demand for city services. In Turkey, this is a particularly serious problem, in the sense that services are not able to be presented effectively and efficiently by municipalities (Ucer, 2009; Karasu, 2005). States and local municipalities have, however, begun to focus on social housing in an effort to find solutions to low-income housing problems and to prevent gecekondus, the effects of which shall serve to improve the quality of life in Istanbul, Turkey.

Studies on life quality Quality of life is a subject that has been being investigated for more than forty years. Research on the quality of life in today’s sense is based on the movement of social indicators in the United States in the 1960s (Yavuzcehre and Torlak, 2006). It has been stated that the concept of quality of life emerged in part in order to investigate the differences and inequalities in social conditions and living conditions (Koramaz, 2010). The quality of life research agenda gained particular importance at the end of the restructuring process following World War II in order to achieve a better living standard and improve the welfare of the people (Ersin, 2012). Because of various life demands, challenges, and barriers, families are faced

with conditions that influence their quality of life (Soliman et al, 2015). In recent years, research on quality of life has been developing towards analyzing the components of quality of life and understanding the affecting factors (Jha and Tripathi, 2014). Investigations today focus on multiple dimensions, such as affordable and quality housing, comprehensive quality services and access to them, and the quality of life in urban areas (Ucer, 2009). The concept of quality of life has numerous definitions, yet no single agreed upon definition has emerged over time (Ucer, 2009; Koramaz, 2010; Atik, 2014; Ulengin et al., 2001). In the literature, there are more than a hundred definitions for quality of life (El Ariane, 2012). Quality of life is a complex, multi-dimensional concept, requiring multiple approaches from different theoretical perspectives (Seker, 2011). According to Andrews (2001), in bad conditions, descriptions focus on basic needs, such as business, food, shelter and security facilities. In contrast, the definition of quality of life in good conditions is expanding to include a successful personal and professional life, access to entertainment and recreation facilities, a happy society, and a clean environment (Andrews, 2001). On the other hand, the quality of life in research is measured by different methods, in line with different goals and objectives. Research scales also differ from each other in this respect 1BDJPOF 8JTI 'FMDF BOE Perry, 1995; Cummins, 1999). Quality of life research carried out on a local scale, that is, in a city or neighborhood unit, aims to redirect local policies to identify local problems (Koramaz, 2010). Although there are different definitions of quality of life, Marans (2007) argues that the definitions generally fall under one of two different aspects, namely those that are related to the individual himself/herself and those that are more environmental in character and subjectively shaped by individuals (Marans, 2007). -BOE %JFOFS BOE 4VI and Rogerson (1999) point out that it is possible to speak of three main apQSPBDIFT 'JSTU B OPSNBUJWF JEFBM BQ-

The answer to the question of which indicators should be used to measure quality of life remains unclear. There is no consensus on the criteria for the indicator types used to measure quality PG MJGF 7BO $BNQ FU BM ,PZVODV "UJL 'BDUPST SFMBUed to quality of life can change over time, depending on the circumstances (Yavuzcehre and Torlak, 2006). In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in quality of life research in developing countries, while research on this subject in developed countries has been advancing at a slower pace. Quality of life studies in Turkey did not begin simultaneously with the conduct of these studies in Western countries nor did they move forward at the same speed. Studies conducted by various government agencies are intended to develop an understanding of quality of life (Koyuncu, 2011). In Turkey, the quality of life studies done at the corporate level can be divided into two groups, one which focuses on measuring quality of life, and the other which focuses on identifying the quality of life indicators (Ucer, 2009). Although the number of studies conducted in Turkey on quality of life has been on the rise, this number is still insufficient (Koyuncu, 2011; Aktas, 2007). Efforts are also being made to improve the quality of life for conventional and underprivileged households and to measure the quality of life satisfaction of people. The concept of quality of life in Turkey is included in the five-year development plans, the latest PG XIJDI JT UIF UI 'JWF :FBS %FWFMopment Plan (2014-2018), in which it is mentioned that priority will be given to transformation projects that generate high utility and value in production and common use areas, especially areas bearing a disaster risk, and that contribute to growth and development and widespread increase in space and qualJUZ PG MJGF .JOJTUSZ PG %FWFMPQNFOU 2013).

and measures introduced by the development plans to address the housing problem have not been sufficiently implemented, and the problems related to the speed of urbanization have even gradually increased (Bodur, 2012). A number of studies have been carried out in Turkey to improve the quality of life in the social housing area. In the next section, information on the studies related to improving the quality of life in social housing is discussed. A review of the literature showed that approaches to the concept of quality of life that have been used in different studies vary according to purpose, method and scale. Given the nature of this subject, it is not possible to make a generalization about the scale on which the quality of life indicators will be assessed. 3. Social housing and recent studies After the housing shortage problem first began to emerge following World War I, western governments were forced to start thinking about solutions to this issue. Since then, national governments in the West have played an active role in the generation of social housing policies, as well as in the solutions to this problem, by supporting local governments (Kara, 2012). %FWFMPQFE DPVOUSJFT IBWF CFFO BCMF to successfully address the problem of housing with the social housing policies they put into effect after World War II (Bayraktar, 2009). As a result, the thirty year period after World War II can be called the golden age for social housing, as it was during this time that many of the social housing policies had been implemented (Reinprecht et al., 2008). However, the number of houses generated for the low income groups continues to be one of the major problems affecting both developed and developing countries (Soliman et al, 2015). In the literature, social housing is referred to alternatively as state dwellings, public housing, and affordable housing. Social housing is affordable for the poorest or lowest-income families and is standardized to meet the needs of housing (Akdemir, 1998). Officially, the definition can vary according to each country (Whitehead and Scan-

lon, 2007). Priemus (2010) proposed a definition of social housing that described it as housing that is aimed to house predominantly households with a weak negotiation position on the housing market, such as low-income households, physically and/or mentally handicapped persons, ethnic minorities, immigrants and asylum seekers (Priemus, 2010). While social housing practices in developed countries have commonalities, there is no standard social housing practice and policy applicable to every country (Whitehead and Scanlon, 2007). Social housing emerged in the form of cheap rental housing for citizens constituting middle and low income groups in the western developed countries. In developing countries, however, social housing involves the sale of low-interest housing and longterm housing loans (KunduracÄą, 2013). In some countries, only the poorest segment of the population can benefit from these residences, while in others, low-wage segments or middle-income segments can benefit from them (KunduracÄą, 2013; Blanc, 2010). Starting in the 1980s, social housing activities were gradually incorporated into the social policies of developing DPVOUSJFT %JÄŒFSFOU EFWFMPQNFOUBM trends have been observed for each country. Yet, the number of developing countries active in this area and the prominence of social housing in housing policies is continuously rising (Bodur, 2012). In Europe, the construction of social housing is carried out by many different institutions, including central and local governments, non-profit public or private organizations, volunteer organizations or foundations, and cooperatives (Kutsal, 2012). It is very difficult to discern whether or not there is standard social housing in Europe (Tutin, 2008). On the other hand, in the United States, as a result of the economic crisis of 1929, social housing projects were, and continue to be, specifically implemented as a need (KunduracÄą, 2013). However, these social housing areas, once inhabited by the poor, have been transformed into places where there is a dominant culture of poverty and social exclusion (Keith, 1973). The evolution of the planning approaches

and methods applied in Europe and the United States has not been positively reflected in Turkey (Mutlu, 2007). Urban renewal activities in Turkey are implemented as slum transformation processes (Bayraktar, 2009). It is impossible, therefore, in Turkey to speak of a systematic public policy of social housing, as applied in European countries and the USA (AlkÄąser and Yurekli, 2004; Tasar and Cevik, 2009). At the end of the 1980s, with the local governments as the main actors, urban renewal projects in Turkey were implemented in high rentable areas and served as an alternative to the improvement plans .VUMV 'SPN UP UIF QSFTent, significant changes have been seen in housing policy, particularly in terms of the main actors in the industry.

However, recently, mass housing projects have been increasingly viewed to be a social, economic, technical and aesthetic failure %VMHFSPHMV :VLTFM FU BM *O UIF present study, a survey was performed to determine the quality of life of the slum owners who were transported to municipality-generated social housing in Istanbul, followed by an in-depth assessment of the subject. 4. Methodology The principal aim of this research was to evaluate how gecekondu owners have experienced the change in the lives after moving to social housing in *TUBOCVM %VSJOH JOUFSWJFX TFTTJPOT conducted in March of 2016, residents were asked about their housing situation and quality of life before and since their arrival to social housing. The universe of the research included slum dwellers who moved to the social housing units developed by the IstanCVM .FUSPQPMJUBO .VOJDJQBMJUZ %JSFDtorate of Housing. In this study, research on the concept of the quality of life, which is defined by different perspectives and different approaches in the literature, was reviewed for the purpose of identifying and applying the terminology commonly employed for this subject, as well as for the purpose of establishing proper indicators for social housing.

The studies that have been carried out show that the concept of the quality of life involves more than one dimension, as it covers a wide area, emerges with different purposes and has been explained by different indicators and different variables, depending on the specific aims and targets. The indicators presented in this study were prepared on the basis of the pilot survey questionnaire and the relevant literature. The questionnaire created for the evaluation included the following items: (1) living conditions, (2) physical factors, (3) environmental factors, (4) comparisons for social relationships, (5) access to services, (6) economic factors, (7) general satisfaction. The research sample was created on the basis of the data obtained from the universe. Social housing units in Eyup, Sisli and Kartal were designated as pilot areas on account of the fact they include people whose living quarters in another district or remote areas had been demolished and who, as a result, have had to adapt to different cultures, even within the same city. The questionnaire was created as part of the research model, which included completion of a pilot survey to determine the questions for the questionnaire. With the project support of Istanbul Technical University Scientific Research Center and the help of a research company, a total of 506 face-to-face interviews (378 in Eyup, 93 in Kartal and 35 in Sisli district) were completed. Before the research, a 1-day training program was administered to the pollsters. As part of the training program, information was given to them about the research and they were introduced to the documents to be used in the field survey. On January 29, 2016, some parts of the pilot survey, including questions, were removed, while some notes were added.

Reliability of the variables was tested by using The Cronbach’s alpha value calculated in the reliability test of the variables was 0.958, which is “highly reliable according to KalaycĹ’s 4-Reliability scale (KalaycÄą, 2005).

According to the results obtained from the survey questions, the questionnaire study for the implementation of the preparatory phase was updated before being completed and the goal was considered to be within the scope of the information gathered. 5. Findings and evaluation In the survey, socio-demographic information, such as the age of the participants, gender, marital status, educational status, place of birth, profession, social security status, and the average monthly income, was gathered. According to the result of this survey, nearly half of the respondents were between the ages of 36 and 55, and almost half had emigrated from the Black Sea Region of Turkey. The sample included 204 males and 302 females. More than half of the participants were elementary and junior high school graduates, and the majority were married, with almost half of the respondents being housewives. The majority of the participants had social security, and more than half of the households living in social housing were supported by the work of one person. Most of the families were living on a monthly income of between 1,000 TL and 1500 TL (equivalent to US$282.25- US$423.38) (Url-3). To continue, almost all the participants had a washing machine (98.8%) and a dishwasher (84.4%), while 52.4% of them had a computer and 44.7% had internet access. The percentage of the participants who had a car (29.1%) or owned a credit card (35.8%) was low. 21.5% of the participants had lived in

gecekondus for 6 to 10 years at most, while 46.4% had been living in social housing for 6 to 10 years at most. The participants who had lived in the slums for 10 years or less were found to be more satisfied with their quality of life in their new homes according to this survey. Similarly, findings in the study showed that the longer the period the participants had been living in social housing, the higher the satisfaction they had. Yavuzcehre and Torlak (2006) pointed out in their study that long-term residents in social housing can improve their living conditions over time. According to the majority of respondents, an ideal house should have a single-storey and a garden, it should have a good view (28.3%), be close to the city center (35.2%) and be located in an area that has potential for increasing property value (27.5%). The participants also stated that the idea of quality of life involved living in a secure city (22.3%), free of livelihood difficulties (20.9%) and with good health facilities (14.7%). More than half of the participants (61.5%) did not want to move out of their social housing, and 37.3% expressed that the larger and more comfortable home was the main reason for their move.

other service factors related to social housing there has been little to no improvements. In terms of the economic factors, it was found that other factors, besides that of the economic aid provided by the state, were better when the people had lived in the slums. In other words, the economic factors generally do not improve in social housing. Studies in slum areas have generally been carried out with the aim of developing social housing with a better functioning system (Kintrea, 2007). The destruction of a neighborhood is a serious consequence of the changing landscape of cities (Eke, 2000). The number of relatives and friends

on the periphery is an objective indicator for the existence of social relations (Tßrkoglu et al., 2008; Salleh and Badarulzaman, 2012). Being from the same region is very important in the slum areas. In the course of conducting this study, it was found that no preliminary work has been done by the municipality on the impact the demolition of the slums and the people’s relocation to social housing will have on the existing relationship between the citizens. It was also discovered in the course of the study that the demographic characteristics of the households undergoing this transformation process have not been evaluated by the municipality. Bolt et al. (2010), and Phillips and Harrison (2010) stated that the state agencies demolished not only the houses but also the social relations existing within the slum dwellings. In the work of Clampet-Lundquist (2004), it was shown that many people in America wish to move closer UP UIFJS GPSNFS IPNF 'VSUIFSNPSF studies by Kleinhans (2003), Gaumer et al. (2014), Cavalheiro (2015) and Icli (2011) have shown that the social interaction between neighbors was lower in the social housing as compared to the interaction in their former living arrangements. When the perceptions of the factors related to social relations were examined in this research, similar to other studies, the results revealed that the social relations were much better in the slum life, having deteriorated after moving to the social housing areas. The participants’ perceptions of TPDJBM SFMBUJPOT BSF TIPXO JO 'JHVSF 'SPN UIF SFTVMUT JU DBO TBJE UIBU SBUIFS than being constructive, moving from the slums to social housing is a rather shattering affair insofar as it relates to the deterioration of social relations. %JTQMBDFNFOU BMPOH XJUI UIJT EFUFSJPration of social relations, has played a role in maintaining the people’s loyalty to the past as opposed to increasing their sense of belonging to the social housing that they have been moved into. In general, the results of this research have revealed that significant positive change took place in the physical, environmental, access to services, and general satisfaction dimensions of

the lives of those who had been relocated to social housing; but in social relations and economic factors, the participants valued these more so in the slums than in social housing, and expressed that social relations were better in the slums. These findings suggest that the municipality-generated social housing in Istanbul has not been successful enough in improving the gecekondu owners’ quality of life BęFS UIFJS EJTQMBDFNFOUT 'PS UIJT SFBson, the municipality should do more to strengthen these displaced people’s sense of belonging in order to reduce the acclimatization period in social housing and to increase satisfaction in social housing. 6. Conclusion The increasing world population, inefficient consumption of resources, destruction of natural habitats and the diminishment in quality of life for individuals are issues that are gaining increasingly more importance with each QBTTJOH EBZ %FTQJUF UIFTF BEWFSTF DPOditions, serious works are being done to ease the burdens of life and thereby improve the quality of life on a global, national and local scale. The aim of this study has been to determine the characteristics that contribute to the quality of life of slum dwellers who have been relocated to social housing. To achieve this aim, the relationship between upgrading the quality of life and social housing allocation was analyzed. With the results, recommendations can be made for future improvements to the quality of life of social housing dwellers. The benefits of providing good quality social housing to urban dwellers will be reflected on the entire city, but this issue needs to be addressed in a holistic manner. In Istanbul, the social housing provided by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality is satisfactory from the physical point of view. However, according to this research, greater effort needs to be directed towards building better social relationships between social housing dwellers. If the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality does not work on building social relationships, the solution of “improving life quality PG TPDJBM IPVTJOH EXFMMFSTw XJMM OPU CF fully realized, and the targets related to

social objectives will fail to be achieved. The general perception of households is positive, in terms of living in social housing. However, lack of knowledge of the demographics of the families living in social housing adversely affects perceptions of quality of life. Social and demographic features of the family should be taken into account, as well as the wishes and needs of the people, in social housing allocations. Local governments have very important roles according to quality of life studies. In order to improve the quality of life in social housing developed by the local administrations to replace slum dwellings, indicators should be determined. By collaborating with other organizations, such as universities and trade unions, a more holistic approach can be applied in identifying these indicators, so as to improve living conditions in every sense. To date, there are no life quality indicators set by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality regarding social housing developed in Istanbul. Particularly in the gecekondu areas to be demolished, it is necessary to carry out repetitive studies with a view to determining the demographic structure. Serving as a model for Turkey, the life quality studies in developed countries have dynamic processes. Municipalities in Turkey should likewise demonstrate greater dynamism in their approach by regularly conducting studies for the purpose of improving the life quality of social housing dwellers. The municipalities must make result-oriented practices and evaluate these every year. Similar studies should be repeated at regular intervals, as done in developed countries, and an information system should be established whereby all data can be entered into one system. In this way, changes in life quality of social housing dwellers can be monitored and evaluated. To help motivate local governments to be successful in their development of social housing projects, strategic objectives of municipalities should be directed towards these studies. If the municipalities want to achieve their strategic goals, they must understand the significance of problems related to social housing.

Central and local governments have initiated many activities to prevent certain problems, such as unemployment, economic problems, housing, infrastructure deficiencies, and uneven urbanization, which have arisen due to rapid urbanization in Turkey. These studies, where housing demand is one of the first targets, show that quantitative qualification is at the foreground in discourses carried out for improving activities related to environment and quality of life. As of recently, it has been observed that the solution to the problem is expressed in numbers and different ways at arriving at a solution are regularly being investigated. As one of the limited number of studies that have been conducted in Turkey on the quality of life, this study can serve as a guide to improving the quality of life in the social housing settlements that have been built to replace the slums that have been demolished. The number of gecekondu in Turkey is still an important issue, considering how many of them constitute part of the total number of housing units. As one of the consequences of rapid urbanization, the issue of what how to transform the slum areas is now on the agenda. Along with this transformation, it has become a priority to improve the living conditions of the slum areas and to ensure that they have a healthy structure. One of the aims of social housing production should be to reduce unemployment by increasing the workforce and thereby improve the living conditions. In Istanbul, the social housing developed by the municipality with the aim of improving the quality of life seems to have not reached its target in this sense. Accordingly, it is necessary for the municipality to take greater measures from here on out to increase the income of those living in social housing units. One of the most important contributions of the study to theory and practice is that the social services offered by municipalities should be reflected in social housing practices according to the characteristics of the target population. The demographic characteristics of the target population are as important as the characteristics of the

house they lived in previously. Considering that the aim of social housing production is to produce a happy life in a healthier and higher quality environment, it is impossible to achieve this aim without knowing the characteristics of the target group. The solutions and applications related to the housing problem which have emerged with the increasing rate of urbanization will continue long into the future. Sustainable solutions to these problems and the success of the municipalities go hand in hand with the participants and actors coming together and taking into consideration the current conditions. Lastly, in looking at the study results from a broad perspective, it can be seen that the issue of quality of life remains the most multifaceted, practical problems that needs to be solved in order for Turkey to achieve sustainable social housing production.

Abstract Descartes states “Divide each difficulty into as many parts as possible and necessary to resolve it.â€? Deconstruction is not a new idea as demonstrated by Descartes quote but a compelling one for understanding the issues behind complex systems especially as vast as cities. Built form is a relational process and the overall spatial form emerges with a sense of wholeness, a certain degree of completeness, in its topologic embodiment. Using Alexander’s “levels of scaleâ€? property of wholeness as a morphologic translation interface, the method developed in this research allows questioning various relative spatial formations. Shannon’s entropy theory has been employed for measuring the state of uncertainty, and disorderliness conveyed through the multivariate context of morpho-information across varying scales. This study aims to cross-evaluate mean Entropy-IQR values generated for ten cities using proposed method with the survey results that ten experts, architects, urban planners, and landscape architects have rated for ten cities urban layouts in three aspects of the wholeness. Experts do not have an agreement among each other about the wholeness of case study, inter-raters reliability (KÎą) is 0,14 and the correlation coefficient between normalized median expert views and mean Entropy-IQR values is 25%. The results indicate that definition and sense of wholeness even for place making experts is not as intuitive as Alexander claims. These findings help to point out the need for evidence-informed analytical methods that measure the relative degree of wholeness in constantly changing cities. Keywords Wholeness, Completeness, Multi-scalar, Information entropy, Measuring.


1. Introduction Urban design is an interdisciplinary approach to urban space. Critical role of urban design, between planning and architecture, is to set an order, a feeling of wholeness and a scaling harmony in urban space (Konuk, 1992). The urban design approach in this definition is about concepts of order, hierarchy, and harmony in the process of making robust urban spaces. According to Hanson, the order in its most largely approved definition is a notion of sameness, harmony, repetition, geometry, rhythm, symmetry and grid (HanTPO ćF JOUFSQMBZ BNPOH CVJMU elements in various orders, in different size and scales, create the morphology. The order that emerges through such multiplicity of morphologic interplay comes to the front as a measurable notion. Shannon’s information entropy, in this study, is being used as a method to measure the “relationship between PSEFS BOE EJTPSEFSw "SOIFJN Morphologic interplay at various scale levels is a form of information conveyed through the units of a grid system. Measuring such information using Shannon’s entropy is hypothesized to correlate with the degree of the wholeness of the morphologic system. The raw data used in this research is the open street map data land cover vector data in equivalent scale and pixel resolutions belonging to 10 cities, -POEPO /FX %FMIJ /FX :PSL $JUZ 1BSJT 3PNF 4BOUB .POJDB 4BO 'SBOcisco, Siena, Tokyo and Washington DC, showing their two-dimensional urban layouts. Cities are about functions that are perfectly integrated into agglomerated layers of built environment. Layers of different forms of spatial entities are seemingly complex but logically simple ways of scaling (Jiang B., 2012). Cities have their very own scaling patterns embedded in the multivariate NPSQIPMPHJD GPSNBUJPOT 'PS TP NBOZ reasons, scaling hierarchy in cities can be deformed through the time. Salingaros states that lively and vibrant cities accommodate unique scaling regimes in touch with all their living systems (Salingaros, 2005). An emergent need for automobile-led 20th-century urbanization and uncontrolled popula-

tion growth in cities caused a disregard for the scaling-laws in cities and imposed piecemeal lay outs and typological forms. This brought an inevitable change on scaling patterns of spatial formations and thus on the wholeness. Cities are made of built entities that make the morphologic and symbolic character of spaces, and they create the evaluative and measurable qualities /BTBS -BSHF PS TNBMM CVJMU FOtities that create the morphologic character in cities are measurable. According to Jiang geographic space is made of far more small things than large ones and the scaling pattern can evoke a certain sense of wholeness (Jiang & Sui, 2014). This kind of wholeness and beauty was initially defined by C. Alexander and compiled in his master XPSL ićF /BUVSF PG 0SEFSw "MFYBOder, 2002-2005). The concept of wholeness for a spatial context is a relational OPUJPO *U JT B GSBHJMF SFMBUJPOBMJUZ 0ODF a single entity that belongs to a built context changes, the configuration and the distribution of the information and thus the entropy, of the system changes. This happens across different scales. Therefore, measuring the entropy of a particular built context requires a multi-scalar approach. Major raw data used for this study is open street map sourced land cover vector data. The multi-scalar approach in this research is being methodized through superimposing a grid with equivalent units upon the raw data. The grid units simply frame equivalent amounts of pixels and generate units of equal size. Each grid unit in each particular grid scale bounds a certain type of morphologic interplay. Changing the grid scale allows creating different size of grid units scanning different built formations exponentially and recursively. The interplay between the built elements and their overall spatial content is in a continuous process of change. This kind of change in real space is a space compromise ending up in a gradual adaptation. Undoubtedly, if not a natural disaster, this is foremost a human-led process. The human factor, as the decision-maker, builds up the causality about the degree and intensity of the spatial change. Although it mostly occurs in micro scale, the pro-

cess of change and adaptation gradually remakes the overall urban built context. According to Baynes and Heckber (2009), understanding and modeling the dynamics of spatial change may lead to better understanding and management of the human process that leads to change. Cullen in “Townscape� (Cullen, 1961) states that space is a meaningful context in its in-situ relationality. The spatial change also embodies and is perceived within such contextual relationality. This kind of relationality requires a site-specific approach considering near and related things that form a geographic context. Tobler, in IJT JOĘVFOUJBM i'JSTU -BX PG (FPHSBphy,� states that everything is related to each other; yet, the things that are close to each other are more related than the EJTUBOU POFT 5PCMFS .JMMFS PO this issue notes that measuring the space does not just generate simple metric or geometric findings, but also develops new spatial attributes considering the nearness and relatedness of various spatial issues. It allows measuring the geographic space through the interplay between diverse urban and environmental phenomena in different scales. Mathematical models in urban planning and design studies can give precise and accurate results by measuring the inputs that embody urban space JO BO PCKFDUJWF XBZ /BTBS This study hypothesizes that morphologic formation in cities is a significant element of spatial signature. Regarding the causation between disorder and law of entropy, an entropy value might define a degree of wholeness for spatial formations. The data used for the case areas in this paper comprises the top view images for 1/5000 scale urban areas’ land cover vector data with 1024x1024 pixels resolution. Using the analysis tool developed in this study, case study areas’ source data are overlaid by a grid system. In each case area, as seen in 'JHVSF BO FOUSPQZ WBMVF JT HFOFSBUFE for each unit that has maximum adjacency, connected to eight surrounding units, throughout the grid. The units by the edges of the grid lack of maximum adjacency and thus they are exempted in the calculation of entropy.

The number of units that a grid owns varies depending on the scale of the grid selected for the analysis. Afterward, a statistical method of data measuring –inter quartile range (IQR)- is employed to eliminate the extremes of the generated data set to measure and reduce it to a single value for each case analysis area. The analysis can be applied either for a single particular grid scale or different grid scales for the same analysis. Either case, total sum of entropy-IQR values as a cumulative value implies a degree of wholeness specific for the selected grid scale levels. This study asks whether or not the degree of wholeness in morphologic systems can be mathematically measured. The results of the method are compared with survey results that spatial design experts intuitively rated the case study cities from the strongest to the weakest through their morphologic layouts. This kind of an approach to urban conservation may have significant implications for the built environments that are facing a possible change in different scales. 2. Wholeness of the spatial formations Alexander (2002-2005) states that natural or human-made, every single identifiable piece of a system is a center and it is unique in its way. The wholeness or life imposed through a system is its very own kind of order. This is an order that arranges a special and adequate mix of decisively nested structures, which both locally and globally interact and reinforce each other. Wholeness, in this respect, is a matter of a vital interrelationship among the elements of any size, shape, and scale in a system. In his own words, Alexander describes this situation as: “I propose a view of physical reality which is dominated by the existence of this one particular structure, W, the wholeness. In any given region of space, some sub-regions have higher intensity as centers; others have less. Many sub-regions have weak intensity or none at all. The overall configurations of the nested centers, together with their relative intensities, comprise a single structure. I define this structure as “the� wholeness of that region� (Alexander C. , 2002-2005, p. 96)

0OF PG UIF DSJUJDBM QPJOUT JO "Mexander’s definition of wholeness is about understanding what a center is and why it is vital in creating life and XIPMFOFTT GPS UIJOHT PS QMBDFT 0ODF it is grasped, then the entire Theory of Wholeness and the way in which it is employed in the method used in this study get comprehensible. A center is simply a smallest, identifiable piece, PCKFDU PS QBSU JO B TZTUFN 'PS JOTUBODF the head of the body is a center. At the same time, each of the eyes, nose, forehead, and mouth is a center too. At a subtle level, eyebrows, eyelashes or even the iris of the eye are all centers in their very own way. When the context is a built environment, each single building is an object that can be categorized as a center. Two things are essential to understanding it better: first, a center does not have to be a separate part of the context that it belongs to. A mouth, for instance, is properly located as the continuum of a face itself. Second, centers can exist at different levels of scale. Starting from the globe, the continents, countries, regions, cities, districts, neighborhoods, streets, buildings, apartments, rooms, and even the furniture are all centers in different scales. The way in which centers interact with each other is the most critical matter in understanding Alexander’s overall idea of wholeness. The centers in a system may empower or weaken each other through the way that they exist and interact. The position, size, and shape of each constituent gradually affect the overall degree of the wholeness of the system. At the end of his extensive studies, Alexander defined fifteen properties where the centers exist in diverse morphologic relationships with each other in forming a degree of wholeness. A “property,� as a geometric quality, in Alexander’s texts, is a fundamentally informative characteristic for “wholeness� (Waguespack, 2010). Either used in a single way or a context of a multitude of patterns, property as Alexander asserts, is critical in forming “life� and generating some level of wholeness. The concept of wholeness and the life for a spatial setting is a broad notion, and the connection between two

concepts is controversial. Building definitive and conclusive analogical bridges between wholeness and life is not always as tangible as Alexander claims in several ways. The entire question of wholeness is a large, flexible and not so clear phenomenon and there is a loose relationship between wholeness BOE MJGF &LJOPHMV ,VCBU *O other words, beyond strict definitions of “dead� and “alive� life can exist in various degrees in-between for space. /FWFSUIFMFTT JU JT IBSE UP DPOTUSVDU B direct and determinant relationship between two concepts since different levels of life can exist in space with various degrees of wholeness. The idea of wholeness and life in space requires a profound and site-specific investigation considering its various cultural, social, symbolic ingredients and architectural attachments. Therefore, reducing the concept of wholeness merely to the relationships of the sub-constituents of a built system’s layout might be highly limiting. To avoid this shortfall, in this study, the concept of wholeness that Alexander depicts is being referred as a spatial quality of “completeness� that emerges through the relationships among the sub-constituents of the system across scales. Moreover, Alexander’s overall idea of wholeness and life also stands on a firm basis of completeness (EkJOPHMV ,VCBU Alexander proposed fifteen figurative qualities, which he found similar in things that have a life. These features are “(1) levels of scale, (2) strong centers, (3) boundaries, (4) alternating repetition, (5) positive space, HPPE TIBQF MPDBM TZNNFUSJFT EFFQ JOUFSMPDL BOE BNCJHVJUZ contrast, (10) gradients, (11) roughness, (12) echoes, (13) the void, (14) simplicity and inner calm, and finally (15) non-separateness� (Alexander C., 2002-2005). The properties can be described as the syntax rules for spatial translations in examining how centers of an existing built space get together and help each other for evoking life. This kind of process of spatial translation can also be algorithmically coded for each of the properties mentioned above. In this study, the property that has been

selected for the spatial translation is “Levels of Scale� since syntactically it is the most general and base property in explaining the most of the other remaining properties. 3. Shannon’s entropy approach The entropy concept was first used as part of thermodynamic systems in the nineteenth century. The second rule of thermodynamics says that every living or non-living system has an amount of free energy, and it always moves towards equilibrium (Bailey, 2015), and the entropy increases towards this realization. In other words, a system spontaneously evolves toXBSET B MFTT PSEFSFE TUBUF /BUVSF UFOET to disorderliness more than order. The probability of a disordered or irregular occasion is higher than an ordered BOE SFHVMBS POF 4IBOOPO ćJT is an act of seeking equilibrium, and maximum entropy is thus what leads to disorderliness. Since the probability of a disordered state is higher than an ordered state, entropy always increases but never decreases. Maximum entropy takes a system to the death. Briefly, energy or substance in nature cannot vanish but evolve from one state to another. Entropy is the measure of this evolution or transformation. In addition to thermodynamic entropy, statistical entropy was first inUSPEVDFE CZ 4IBOOPO BT a “basic concept in information theory, measuring the average missing information on a random source� (Jat, Garg, ,IBSF i4IBOOPO T FOUSPQZ originated from information theory as a measure of uncertainty of conveyed information over a noisy channel� #BJMFZ +BU FU BM ćF larger the value of Shannon’s entropy, the higher is the uncertainty of information conveyed. Shannon developed the mathematical explanation of the information theory. He focused on how to minimize the loss of information in revealing a message in another point. Entropy (H), in this sense, is a measure of information. H is dependent on the number of information categories, K. Higher, a number of data types, conveyed by a piece of information, lower the probability of the same type of data to gather. It is also the least predictable

state (Bailey, 2015). Hence in such a case, the entropy is always towards most probable or most likely state. When the entropy is maximum, the categories of information get to their most random state where the most uncertainty occurs. The high amount of information with diverse information categories is most likely to emerge as high entropy and thus high uncertainty. Bailey (2015), states that Shannon’s entropy is content-free and can be applied to measure any information with a multiplicity of data types. Shannon entropy is a quantity measuring the relations in a data category. Use of logarithm, see Equation 3, makes this quantity growing linearly with system size and “behaving like information.â€? Shannon in his original paper states that the logarithmic measure is more convenient since it is mathematically suitable in measuring the number of possible states in which a system can be found (Ekinoglu & KuCBU ćF VOJU PG FOUSPQZ JT B iCJUw (Wang, 2016). The information entropy as a method with a rising trend has been employed in diverse design-reMBUFE EJTDJQMJOFT ,SBNQFO BOE Stamps (2003) used Shannon’s entropy in measuring the data belonging to the façade elements to measure and evaluate their behavior. BostancÄą (2009) employed entropy approach in assessing the unique urban skylines from their design quality standpoint. Thanks to the developments in data storing & processing technology, measuring the information is more and more getting one of the central topics in architecture, art, and urban studies that are dealing with multivariate nature of big data and data-intense technologies 0ÄŒFOIVCFS 3BUUJ &OUSPQZ approach in this sense serves as a device for measuring the visually-diversified information. 4.

or a weak degree of wholeness. This paper, in the spirit of Alexander’s definition of wholeness and life through centers, considers buildings as the fundamental centers in built environment. In brief, the method is simply based on questioning various morphologic formations that the buildings come together to form the built environment. A dynamic grid, as a data-mining interface, acts to translate a particular built context into a digitized equivalent. In other words, grid serves as an instrument that reads the levels of scale blueprint of the built area through the specified grid units. This study, using Shannon’s information entropy theory, develops an alternative quantifiable approach that can measure the contextual nature of completeness for a built environment from the scale levels point of view. To achieve it, a spatial analysis tool has been developed by using two major programming languages; “C#� and i1SPDFTTJOHw ćF UPPM IBT UXP NBjor functions: 1) Data-mining and 2) Data-visualization. The data-mining function has been developed by compiling different image processing algorithms to develop a hybrid feature extraction algorithm, compiling inrange – edge - canny – color filter algorithms, 0QFODW PO $ UP SFUSJFWF EBUB out of land cover vector data. Data-visualization function visualizes the retrieved data sets and illustrates the outcomes of the analysis. Levels of scale as a parameter in data-mining enables running this investigation reiteratively in a multi-scalar way. This investigation is done at different grid scale levels, so the way each single grid unit interacts with its adjacent units mathematically matters in the calculation of entropy of each max adjacent unit throughout a grid system. As a formulation of the wholeness through the method of this study, it is possible to say that low entropy implies a relatively higher degree of wholeness as it is also theoretically taken both from the definition of entropy -FJCPWJDJ 4IBOOPO BOE Alexander’s thoughts on wholeness in i/BUVSF PG 0SEFSw "MFYBOEFS T 145, 146).

Built probability framed by each grid unit is termed as G. G, and H by definition are two co-dependent spatial measures. G is referred to specific gravity in physics, and it is termed to be the measure of relative scale-based built probability for each grid unit, while entropy(H) is termed to be the measure of uncertainty that each unit holds considering its adjacent units’ built probabilities (see Equations 1,2 and 3). G, in this sense, is unit-specific and represents the scale-dependent built probability while H is relational and system-specific and represents the level of uncertainty for a unit considering the eight surrounding-units G values. 1SJODJQBMMZ BDDPSEJOH UP JOGPSNBUJPO entropy a more organized complexity contains less amount of information

and hence less potential of different probabilities. A somewhat organized but still more random one contains the higher potential of new probabilities and references while a very randomly and diversely organized one contains the most amount of information types and thus the greatest potential for new possibilities. This is no different for built environments. The higher possibility of spatial references in a unit of built area leads to a bigger tendency for new occurrences and a growing potential for change. In brief, the higher the spatial entropy, the more is the uncertainty, and hence a bigger potential of change is there. Higher entropy suggests a lower degree of wholeness. Depending on the scale of the grid, the analysis tool may generate highly diversified datasets with the different type of deviations along the data depending on the analyzed area. The multivariate nature of the entropy datasets requires discretization to eliminate the extremes and the deviations that exist across the data. IQR (Interquartile Range) statistical data measuring method does the discretization process. It arranges the values GSPN UIF TNBMMFTU UP UIF CJHHFTU 'PS discretization of the deviations in the EBUBTFU *23 BT JMMVTUSBUFE JO 'JHVSF 2, plays a role in extracting the “middle fifty� where it draws a new dataset.

It is where the bulk of the values falls into, and in statistics is preferred over many other measures of spread (i.e. the average or median) when reporting multivariate data sets e.g. school performances based on the scores of the various tests. Each dataset generated by this analysis tool is scale-dependent, so the ranges of the quartiles change as the scale of the analysis change. In other words, any change in the IQR value for a data set is either about the changing morphologic state of the analyzed area or the changing grid scale. Leibovici (2009) notes that the integration of specific spatial aspects or adjacency properties into the entropy generation is essential when considering the spatial distributions of geographic entities. In other words, entropy among the interactions of geographic entities requires consideration of multi-scalar proximities and adjacencies systematically. Application of “Levels of Scale� as data-collecting/ classifying rule in data-mining process entails the definition of certain proportions between pixels and scale levels, i.e. corresponding metric distances. Scaling via pixels for an image is similar to changing the levels of the camera objective while looking at a particular area from the top view. This kind of changeability sets equilibrium between pixels on an image and metric distances in real space. Any particular change in scale of the grid refers to a certain proportional change for the pixel-area GSBNFE CZ FBDI HSJE VOJU BT TFFO JO 'JHure 3.

agreement among the surveyors about which case study layout creates a stronger sense of wholeness and which one creates a weaker and weakest. The concept of wholeness in this

study is a measure defined by three spatial parameters: i) solid-void relationships ii) road hierarchy iii) harmony among the adjacent masses. The experts’ ratings for the analyzed cities show that, even when asked through its three specific aspects, there is no agreement about wholeness. Experts’ views indicate that this kind of survey to measure wholeness through three given parameters still shapes a highly subjective assessment and ad hoc definition of wholeness and its components with varying evaluations. The finding implies that spatial orders in varying size and scales require an evidence-informed and data-driven analytical method to measure built environment, especially for spatiotemporal investigations.

rating implies high wholeness which, in entropic scale, is supposed to be low H-IQR and vice-versa. Although 25% is a low enough correlation coefficient and would imply a high consistency with a high Kα, the low Kα value- high disagreement among the surveyorsblocks the way to articulate that the results between two methods are consistent. Dramatic disagreement, on the idea of wholeness, among the surveyors trigger another significant issue. The idea and sense of wholeness even for place making experts is not as intuitive as Alexander claims but a loose and controversial quality. This finding helps to point out the need for data-driven and evidence-informed analytical methods that measure the relative degree of wholeness in constantly changing urban environments. Such as the method developed in this study.

Results also prove that idea of wholeness, more than perceivable, is a measurable concept. It is neither purely a quantifiable nor an intuitive notion but both of them. This is mostly because the wholeness of the spatial layout is just one of the several other significant factors that trigger an overall sense of wholeness. Results, using the proposed analytical method indicate that the quality of wholeness embedded in the morphologic layout is a measurable concept more than perceivable. It is not a purely intuitive notion. This might be because the human-eye cognitively tends to the catch simple legible layouts in the most complex systems. Human-eye may neglect many pieces that an algorithm will not. Results also prove that wholeness, being used for “completeness” in this study, does not necessarily rely on the

organic or geometric order of the analyzed layout but the order that reveals a particular scaling hierarchy across scales. The quality of the order is about the success of constituents in making a greater whole and the legibility of morphologic signature that the system reveals at various scale levels. This study suggests that Shannon’s entropy is a convenient theory for measuring the entropy of various morphologic occurrences in built settings from the relationality of scale levels point of view. The results of this study show that urban built layout can be measured. The design is a multi-scalar wholeness-seeking task among various spatial and functional parameters. Design as a wholeness-seeking and life-extending process in built environment requires inspecting and questioning the relational nature of spatial context across scales. Wholeness in this sense is not merely a spatial notion relying on the Euclidian geometric thinking but instead a product of living geometric and fractal thinking. It is, in this study, suggested that wholeness as a qualitative concept can be a measurable spatial quality through the proposed method. The results indicate that wholeness as a space term is not an only an abstract, subjective and intuitive term, but rather a measurable and visualize-able concept. Briefly; Information entropy approach allows measuring the multi-scalar behavior of the spatial and geographic entities so that it is convenient to assess the morphologic occurrences. Information entropy approach gives meaningful and verified findings for the comparative spatiotemporal analysis about the cities (Ekinoglu & Kubat, 6TJOH UIF QSPQPTFE NFUIPE different parts of the city can be measured by different time periods and grid scales which may have significant implications on the site-specific reasons that alter the degree of the wholeness of the space. Using the entropy approach, synchronizing GIS datasets, e.g. heat island effect maps can give an alternative way of measuring and better monitoring the consequences of the changing nature of built environment and its

irreversible effects on environmental sustainability and urban energy consumption issues.

Abstract The identity of the city is formed of understanding and meaning (image) of something that exists or ever existed/attached in the city or the introduction of physical and non-physical objects that are formed in time to time. The city’s identity is one of an essential goal to improve the environmental conditions in the future. This study aims to reveal the identity of the Donggala city based on aspects of forming integrated urban identity as a uniqueness overview and its hallmark. The study emphasizes on the descriptive and explanation design through qualitative and quantitative approach conducted by using survey methods. The results showed that there are five aspects of identity-forming of the integrated city: the geographical aspects, historical aspects, accessories aspects, humanist aspects, and the strategic aspects. The best identity in representing Donggala city based on those five aspects is dominated by the disclosure of the identity as the city tourism which emphasis on marine and historical tourism.

Donggala City is chosen as a Tourism city on the strategic aspects is still the most dominant chosen by the respondent to represent the identity of Donggala City. The amount of the respondent interest to make the city’s identity as Tourism city is quite reasonable, because most of them expect that this identity will provide a clear orientation towards planning and forward planning, especially the need to provide treatment arrangement exclusively to the existence of the city as Kota Tua with the buildings and historic area ought to be preserved as a legacy of the past. "ęFS MPPLJOH BU WBSJPVT BTQFDUT which play a role in explaining the disclosure of the identity of Donggala city, it can be argued that the description of the aspects of the city’s identity on a case study in the city of Donggala should be seen as a whole dimension or aspect of a comprehensive and integrated, although there are aspects that stand out the disclosure of her identity does not mean that other aspects of the picture and then ignored its role as the basis for the disclosure of the its identity. It is because all of dimensions forming the city’s identity have a relationship of mutual support to each other and which distinguishes only perceptions of respondents in understanding the unique and characteristic of Donggala owned by the city as a location for research. 4. Conclusion The existence of the cities in Indonesia should support the growth of local cultural values actually stuck in the mass culture. Because it is recognized or not cultural values is what will ultimately shape the character and identity as a nation. This is caused by the neglect of historical aspects of the city formation so that the continuity of the historical area of the city as disconnected as a result of lack attention to control the development of life and area of functionality aspects .The reality shows that cities have launched the city’s identity based on the uniqueness and characteristics which owned by one of the city life functions continues to maintain the environmental quality of the city with the revamping and restructuring in order to continue to be occu-

Abstract Optimizing thermal insulation thickness to save energy and reduce carbon emissions in Mediterranean climates is important. Many standards and regulations on energy efficiency or thermal insulation focus insulation thickness without considering life cycle energy efficiency or environmental impacts. This may lead to unexpected and undesirable results. A new approach for identifying the optimal insulation material and thickness has been applied to a multi-storey residential building in a Mediterranean climate in Turkey. The approach considers life cycle energy consumption, carbon emissions and cost. Energy performance is calculated with details of occupancy, lighting system and internal gains. Results are compared with those of the same building in a cold climate region to show how climate affects life cycle energy and carbon performance. The results of the study show that if insulation thickness is not optimized for a material’s entire life cycle, it may end up being less efficient, more expensive, and have greater carbon emissions than expected, especially in Mediterranean climates. Keywords Thermal insulation thickness, Life cycle energy analysis, Life cycle carbon emission analysis, Life cycle cost analysis.

Energy consumption of buildings affect building’s carbon emission and energy cost significantly. Therefore, energy efficient building is an important issue for energy saving, carbon emission and cost reduction. Energy efficient building design depends on some criteria such as climate, building’s orientation, distance between buildings, window-wall ratio and building envelope’s thermo physical properties. As it is known, most of the energy efficient building design criteria such as orientation and distance between buildings couldn’t be consider in built environment. Thus, building envelope design has important role in energy efficient building design. Increasing thermal mass and reduction heat loss from building envelope are major issues for energy efficiency in envelope design. Increasing thermal insulation is most common strategy for reducing heat losses especially in cold climates but thermal mass is an important approach for hot climates.

Conclusion This study has presented and demonstrated a new approach to selecting insulation material and thickness though a case study of a multi-storey residential building that optimizes energy efficiency, carbon emission reduction and cost over the building’s MJGF DZDMF %FUBJMFE FOFSHZ QFSGPSNBODF calculations included occupancy, activity level, equipment and lighting system. The results were compared to the same building in a cold climate to highlight the effect of climate on energy efficiency and carbon emissions. Using a life cycle perspective is important for countries working toward reduced energy consumption, carbon emission targets and cost in buildings. Energy efficiency in buildings depends on some parameters such as building form, orientation, distance between buildings, but most of these parameters couldn’t be consider while building design in built environment. Therefore design of building envelope is a key factor for energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction.

Therefore, adding thermal insulation to building envelope or increasing thermal insulation thickness become most common energy efficiency strategy in envelope for buildings. Adding a thick insulation layer has a significantly different impact on carbon emissions and energy consumption in Mediterranean and cold climates. Cooling energy consumption in Mediterranean climates significantly increases energy consumption, carbon emission and cost because of the electricity conversion factor. Therefore, reducing cooling energy consumption is an important strategy for saving energy and reducing carbon emissions in Mediterranean climate.

Thermal insulation material and various thickness’ performance could change according to climate and building typology significantly. Thus, as seen from results of this study, optimum thermal insulation material and thickness should be determined according to multiple criteria such as energy, carbon emission and cost from life cycle perspective. Many standards and regulations on energy efficiency or thermal insulation focus energy consumption, carbon emission and cost without considering material’s life cycle performance. This study’s results show that determining insulation thickness without considering life cycle performance results in unexpected performance, especially in Mediterranean climates. Therefore optimization with multiple criteria such as LCEA, LCCA and LCC should be done to determine insulation material and thickness. Many standards and regulations generally focus on heating energy consumption or energy performance for end use. This study’s results show that energy consumption of buildings’ primary energy consumption should be calculated to determine optimum efficiency measures. Occupancy, activity level, heat gain from house appliances and lighting systems should be taken into account in calculations because these parameters directly affect energy consumption. Standards and regulation should be revised to include life cycle calculations, including the details of different building types. Such a revision would be significant for countries targeting energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction.

Abstract Urbanization acceleration, land shortage, the prominence of the service sector due to globalization, the development of high technology and information systems, the expansion of multinational companies as well as changing types of users have been the factors that trigger the design of high-rise buildings. The scope of research deals with five different urban centers in Istanbul where high rise housing is increasing dramatically after 2000’s. Therefore, the research regards multi centered urban residential model being created by high rise housing structures in the urban area. In the framework of research hypothesis, it is aimed to prove that the character of vertical dense structuring in Istanbul is based on differentiation, form and image making in the expressive quality, considering the production of existing high rise buildings in residential areas in recent years. As the methodology of research, it is benefited from convenience sampling method while determining high-rises according to some criteria supported by thesis scope. The site analysis is realized by the help of the Sign model of Charles Sanders Peirce. The high rise buildings have been analysed in the context of icon-index-symbol sign parameters, questioning the search for differentiation, form and image. Keywords High-rise, Housing, Image, Multi-centered, Urban.


1.The development of high-rise housing in Istanbul: Concepts and structures 1.1. Global-local The concept of global, which is relating to entire world rather than a specific region or country, should be considered together with the concept of local. According to the first definitions of global city, it is said that the capital is global and its spatial organization is hierarchical. Globally, the cities that provide the capital’s control functions, producer services and labour world-wide are seen as reflections PG UIJT IJFSBSDIZ ,FZEFS .Ftropolises are, on the one hand, part of the network of international goods, money, people, information and indicative flow on the other hand under the geographical dominance and laws of their own countries. This results in distinctive approaches relating to different acceptation of global flows in world DPVOUSJFT %VF UP UIBU *TUBOCVM SFNBJOT in between discourses of globalization and locality, it displays a hybrid image consisting of the concepts of confusion, contradiction and uncertainty (GĂśnen ½[FS The cultural identity and the image created by the city play a key role in the competitive environment that other cities enter. Especially in cities with diverse and multi-layered history such as Istanbul, which parts of the past are to be preserved or marketed become serious political problems. The conflict between the global and the local not only affects the cities but also the language of BSDIJUFDUVSF BOE EFTJHO 'SPN %VCBJ to Kuala Lumpur, skyscrapers inspired by regionalism are being built in many metropolises around the world. The major problems are how high-rise buildings affect the local identity and whether they have a local identity specific to their surroundings in residential areas to global-local relation. 1.2. Metropolis-city The word of mĂŠtropole, its origin DPNFT GSPN 'SFODI NFBOT CJH DFOUSBM city and capital. While metropolises were previously bordered settlements governed with the concept of locality, they have opened up to the world and governed at the global scale with glo-

balization. In the period of globalization, parameters such as change in the concept of border, the phenomena of global and whole world are attracting among the determinative indicators of metropolis concept.

Within this framework, one of the studies carried out for Istanbul to become a global world city is the need for the presence of mega projects that will speed up the transformation of the city in this context. 1.3.

Multi centered-single centered Urban decentralization derives from the multitude and variety of central functions gathered in a city and is based on a system of one or more transport networks aggregated in that location.

On the other hand, metropolitan boundaries are merging with the walls and the periphery, clear CPVOEBSJFT EJTBQQFBS #BCB Based on Peter Marcuse’s Polycentrism, Concentrated Decentralization theory, the forms of cities are constantly changing, physical and spatial changes are explained by the concepts of polycentrism and urban fragmentation .BSDVTF "T UIF DJUZ DPOUJOVFT to grow towards the border settlements and rural areas, a multi-centered structure emerges in the form. The evolutionary process leading to the creation of multi centered city from the single centered city seen in recent years in Istanbul overlaps with the theory of Marcuse. While high-rise buildings are concentrated only on the BĂźyĂźkdere-Maslak axis, where the business centers are located, it is seen that different urban foci such as Maltepe-Kartal, KozyataÄ&#x;Äą-AtaĹ&#x;ehir and BaĹ&#x;akĹ&#x;ehir-BeylikdĂźzĂź have been created with the increasing tendency especially in the high-rise housing area. This can be seen as a micro-scale reflection of the multi-global network, as the shift of global economy based UK and United States to urban peripheries such as China and India. 2. The development parameters of high-rise housing in Istanbul: Policies 2.1. Globalization The globalization policy is one of the policies that trigger the development of high-rise housing, and many develop-

Until this period, investments in the city have been of interest to local entrepreneurs, but have since become of interest to global capital.

high-rise initiatives in Istanbul since UIF T #BCB Considering the boom of high-rise housing constructions in Istanbul on the theory of global city, these structures can be regarded as a few spatial results in the process of reaching the hierarchical structure created by the global economy on the macro scale. As a result of the global capital has become widespread since 2000, international capital groups and local governments that support these groups have entered a competition to built edifice and ambitious structures in Istanbul. With the rise of mega projects, high office and residence towers, mixed-use complexes and foreign investments developed in this context, Istanbul becomes prominent as a world city in the global economy. 2.2.

International financial capitals, big banks,

construction companies, real estate developers, international investors, units in the construction market are among the actors of this change. The opening of new areas for agricultural land or forest land for construction and the sale of public lands in major urban areas to private real estate development firms are among the developments observed in this period. On the contrary to economic policy before 1980, Turkey has adopted outward-oriented growth, sought to develop new economic institutions and to focus on the telecommunication investments that the global economy needs (TekeMJ *TUBOCVM JT USBOTGPSNFE B DJUZ where the industry is moving out of the city and where creative industries, producer services, finance and real estate sectors are strengthened due to new economic structure. 2.3.

Housing and settlement Besides urbanization policy, housing and settlement policies have a very important role in shaping the city. The growing city needs modern working and living spaces and the construction of the transportation network to serve these structures encourages the development of new sub-centers in the city. Modern residential areas built around these sub-centers for upper and middle income groups also appear as spatial results of this change and transformation. As part of the search for a quality life after 1980, gated communities represent housing areas based on ideal living and ideal home that are

shaped around a concept, and offer leisure facilities and high-level security. Some large companies moving to the suburban of the city have occasionally attempted to make housing for their staff in residential areas close to new businesses. These settlements are similar to the rings surrounding the city, each of which is about one hour away from the center of the city, with the potential to become a center for itself on time. Basaksehir-BeylikdĂźzĂź region, which is about forty kilometers southwest of the center of Istanbul, is a good example.

Given the main expressions emphasized in the architectural design concept, modern, universal language and local technology become prominent.

Metrocity is a mixed-use complex that houses shopping, office and residential functions within the project. There are also social and sports areas that serve the main functions of the building. With a variety of functions and possibilities, the building refers to the image of modern housing that offers contemporary living and comfort in the era when it was built. Symbol analyses the structure with several parameters such as form-image, order, rhythm and silhouette examining form-function relations. In the context of form-image relations, Metrocity towers reflect finished form image as well as rational, static and linear façade lines. The parameter of order analyses the structure in respect to use of symmetry, asymmetry, axes and façade-mass relations. In this respect, Metrocity residential towers are located using the symmetry and axial arrangement in the site plan. There are two twin residential towers reflecting the same architectural form and character in the project.

In addition to that, the structure has a mass rhythm determined by static and repetitive twin towers. The parameter of silhouette, apart from questioning the urban fabric the structure is located, assesses the reflection of building appearance in urban silhouette and aerial photographs.

There are many high-rise offices and residential towers due to the reconstruction permit for high-rises in ĹžiĹ&#x;li-Maslak axis, the central business area of Istanbul.

4. Discussion Housing design acquires new images and meanings on a global scale with strong, symbolic and massive images of high-rise buildings due to the fact that the height criteria is preferred not only in office and otel structures but also in residential structures. The reflections of the recent architecture on the urban image and silhouette, as differentiation, form and image quests have increased in parallel with the height case, have become the main debate issue of architects and urbanists and civil society organizations. The local, historical character and silhouette of the city of Istanbul is in a constant struggle with the global iconic image that urban authorities have been trying to construct. Urban image and silhouette are clearly changing and creating a multi-layered structure, with the integrity of global and local patterns. A spontaneous urban image and silhouette is emerging as a result of the construction of high-rise buildings, contrary to the current development plans, by obtaining privileged development rights and by carrying out plan renovations. According to Baykan (Ă OBZ GSPN UIF VSCBO BOE SFgional planning discipline, contrary to the comprehensive public-focused

Some skyscraper projects planned or in the construction process in Istanbul have been the subject of some public cases opened by the Chamber of Architects related to the plans and licensing decisions, yet the expected steps have not been realized. While it is discussed as a primary issue how these skyscraper projects will affect the city skyline, it turns out that the main concern is not only the building but also the urban fabric. If the relationship between high-rise building, architecture and urbanism is not correctly assessed, these structures will continue to be perceived as a barrier that distorts the silhouette of the city. 5. Conclusion 7FSUJDBM EFOTF SFTJEFOUJBM CVJMEJOHT have increased based on the reasons such as the rise of urbanization, land shortage, the development of high technology and information systems, the expansion of service sector with multinational companies as well as the change of user and lifestyle in Istanbul. High-rise residential development in Istanbul depends on several policies of globalization, economic liberalization, urbanization and housing. With the rise of mega projects, high office and residence towers, mixed-use complexes and foreign investments developed in this context, Istanbul becomes prominent as a world city in the global economy. In the process of globalization, due to the lack of city center, sub-centers and new residential development areas has appeared in the periphery of Istanbul. In the past, highrise buildings were located densely on the ĹžiĹ&#x;li-Maslak axis being the central business area of the city. However, Maltepe-Kartal, KozyataÄ&#x;Äą-AtaĹ&#x;ehir and BaĹ&#x;akĹ&#x;ehir-BeylikdĂźzĂź have appeared as new developing sub-centers in the city, which is in line with the multi-centered urban development model in Istanbul. There are five different urban foci where vertical dense housing has been concentrated, which led to the urban transformation of the area with new developing projects,

uses and functions. One high-rise project from each residential development area is selected for the site analysis and examined according to Semantic method and its sign model. Within the frame of Sign model, the projects which were analysed according to Icon, Index and Symbol sign parameters are Metrocity towers in ĹžiĹ&#x;li-Maslak area, BatÄąĹ&#x;ehir in BaĹ&#x;akĹ&#x;ehir-BeylikdĂźzĂź area, Safi Espadon towFS JO .BMUFQF ,BSUBM BSFB %VNBOLBZB Ä°kon in KozyataÄ&#x;Äą-AtaĹ&#x;ehir area and finally Ottomare Suites in Historical Peninsula and Walls area. All of these high-rise projects reflects multiple images according to icon-index-symbol sign analysis. Although they use mostly a rational order based on geometric form relations on site plan and floor plans, the facades can be differentiated as form and image. In terms of geometry, they display usually combined geometries consisting of defined and undefined geometries as seen in the projects such as BatÄąĹ&#x;ehir, Safi EspaEPO 0UUPNBSF 4VJUFT BOE %VNBOLBZB Ä°kon. Being one of the early examples of high-rises of Istanbul, Metrocity towers is a late modern structure that reflects the final stages of rationalization as an architectural image. It uses defined and rational geometries both on site plan and façade apart from other projects. As part of façade-form relations the geometry brings iconic form image to the structures with dynamic and sculptural lines as seen in Safi EsQBEPO BOE %VNBOLBZB É—LPO QSPKFDUT There is also disconnection between the form and function relationship in some high-rise residential buildings such as Safi Espadon. The form is used generally as a shell covering the functions in the building, which is the attitude of expressionist and post modern architecture. The façade, the form and the plan are not integrated with each other in most high-rise residential buildings. While the plan uses a rational order, the façade and the form show dynamic and changeable images in line with icon-index-sign relationships. In this respect, it cannot be talked about an integrative approach on the basis of architectural image and design. On the contrary, the image is used just as

In addition, the main problem of high-rises in Istanbul, the buildings are not integrated with urban fabric, BT TFFO JO .FUSPDJUZ 0UUPNBSF %Vmankaya Ä°kon and Safi Espadon projects. All of these high-rises give a new silhouette to the city of Istanbul, but they indicate the lack of integrated urban design at macro scale. The issue of polarization and integration in the global metropolis is a major problem in terms of developing world cities. The new urban structure caused by globalization consists of irregular crosses of differentiated textures, which prevents integration at macro scale. In this respect, Istanbul is similar to the examples of world cities such as Mumbai, Mexico City, Sao Paulo in the context of both social and physical problems.

Abstract During the early republican period of Turkey, new industrial complexes were emerged through modernity project and modern architecture. One of this industrial complexes were the sugar factories with their production and residential buildings, which were particularly significant, both as quintessential modern buildings and as built manifestations of modernity project in Turkey. This study is focused on the architectural findings of the primary sugar factories built in early republican period in Turkey. As a case study, the primary/main four sugar factories, which were established at the first ten years of Republic; Alpullu, UĹ&#x;ak, EskiĹ&#x;ehir and Turhal factories were selected. These factories have been the subject of limited studies separately so far. Therefore the present study investigates the role of primary sugar factories in the industrialization period, as a new architectural planning reflecting industrial city idea of modernism and their effects on the community of the cities. The research methods include field study procedures to identify and analyze them, with their site complexes, building materials and architectural elements that characterize the continuity of settlement identity. As a result, primary sugar factories in Turkey have characteristically simple form, small, variable in squares and well-designed buildings and their architectural complexes actually serve as symbols of social and cultural identities of their time. Keywords Early republican period, EskiĹ&#x;ehir Sugar Factory, Industrial buildings, Sugar factories, UĹ&#x;ak Sugar Factory.

During this period, construction of industrial buildings which is the subject of this paper has formed not only a new physical environment in many cities around the country but also an imagined community.

In the case of industrialization period of Turkish Republic, this process imposes upon the formation of industrial buildings such as “sugar factoriesâ€?, insofar as urban images reflect and the shared narrative of imagined communities. In this sense, one of the most important early republican industrial complexes as being sugar factories established in the mentioned period by new government, provide an interesting urban settlement with all of its architectural/urban designs in rural parts of Anatolia.

As a case study, the primary/main four sugar factories in these rural parts, which were established at the first ten years of Republic; Alpullu, UĹ&#x;ak, EskiĹ&#x;ehir and Turhal factories were selected. These factories have been the subject of limited studies separately so far. Therefore the present study investigates the role of primary sugar factories in the industrialization period, as a new architectural planning reflecting industrial city idea of modernism and their effects on the community of the cities. The research methods include field study procedures to identify and analyze them, also the building materials and architectural elements that characterize the continuity of settlement identity. Not only their common aspects such as, proximity to the railway lines, water and beat cultivation areas were considered but also site plans, locations, architectural expressions of them were analyzed separately.

After the proclamation of Republic, the state has taken a leading role in the industrialization movement particularly. As the continuity of political revolutions, industrial investment has been approached as a sine qua non to achieve economic and social development goals for modernization project. The state has not only established factories at various points in Anatolia but also stimulated the economy, by interpreting them as a part of this project. These new settlements were an example of spatial and social environment of the revolution which desired to be established. So, new urban models were produced with regard to their factory schools with cooperative housing, hospital, health, culture and social spaces including sports fields. In this regard, in the Early Republican era architecture movement, industrialization has a special significance (Asiliskender, Therefore, a comprehensive industrialization program was developed for

Since they were designed as an integrated complex to provide the formation of “new farmerâ€?, “new engineerâ€?, “new workerâ€? and “new citizenâ€?. So, in this study, Sugar factories were covered not only in the single structure but also in industrial areas, housing, mechanical units, cinema, casino and recreation areas, covering the periphery of buildings.

Their residents explain it well, because one of this long term residents of factory tells these words; “Sugar factories were home, heart, homeland for us. We know nowhere except there. We do not need to know. Because there were all facilities and social service areas such as schools, kindergartens, shopping markets, cinemas, swimming pools, mosque, restaurants, sport areas, camps and farms.

When we talk about the architectural discourse of factories we see a common sense of Modernism traces.

He says; “The Industrial Revolution had changed the society at the turn of the century, social and technical. Apart from the changing concept of time, the building also demonstrates the increasing tendency to experiment and innovate in social technical and aesthetic matters. For many architects the modern movement was not so much an aesthetic principle or a style, but rather a method of working, a way of thinking about people and their environment. These buildings should primarily be constructed as a utility. They were to be designed as economically as possible and should express the openness, transparency and accountability of the new culture, they should fulfil the ambitions of the emancipating masses, be hygienic and healthy, and they should be produced and assembled as efficiently as possible, making use of as little material as possible by employing the latest technological innovations.� )FOLFU 3.

The main factory, turbine-boiler-lime circles, beet-coal-coke and limestone silos, where the entrance of sugar beet was made, were dissolved near the train station.

Territory decisions and architectural construction techniques and design of settlements were surprisingly resemble to each other. At this point, the modernity project of Republican government would be effective. Since, the state has given significant roles to spatial strategies, in order to achieve modernist approach, their architectural approaches were similar to each other, like sugar factories.

Conclusion During the early republican period of Turkey, new industrial complexes were emerged through modernity project and modern architecture. One of this industrial complexes were the sugar factories with their production and residential buildings, which were particularly significant, both as quintessential modern buildings and as built manifestations of modernity project in Turkey.

complexes were the main sites for daily life of its inhabitants. They represent not only industrial history but also social past of a nation since sugar factory community plays an important role for the collective memory of the time they lived in these buildings. Therefore preserving and reusing these buildings have importance for protecting of these social memories and transferring them to next generations. Furthermore, their success is also emphasized by Gez. Prof. Spenglerand Gez. Fr. Wilh. Meyer, Wiesmar, I.Mckglbg as he states in his diary found in EskiĹ&#x;ehir factory archieve ; â€œâ€ŚSince three weeks we have visited all sugar factories in Turkey and witnessed that young industry is on a very high valuable level and the sugar factories are equally level with European ones.. Also sugar industry works with chancery beets is an important point. We can say that the factory works very well... 7FMEFU

These complexes also present an ideal ground for their reuse as they are characteristically simple form, small, variable in squares and well-designed buildings. In addition to their modern architectural properties, they also represent strong social and cultural values as the concept of intangible heritage. When we speak with the people lived there in the past, we see a strong link between its community, buildings and their past. In this context, sugar factories provide the people who has lived in, with a sense belonging and connecting and defining the character of a community by sustaining a strong connection with the past, present and GVUVSF $POTFRVFOUMZ JO BMM QSJNBSZ sugar factories in Turkey, these architectural complexes actually serve as symbols of social and cultural identities of their time and therefore preserving and reusing of these sites is essential for transferring social identity memory to the next generation.

Abstract This paper presents the learning outcomes of the international project, ‘RE-PUBLIC: Remaking the Public Space’, funded by European Union Life Long Learning - Erasmus Intensive Programme. It focused on complex and diversified layers of public space within the context of the place-making logic. Istanbul’s Taksim region including the Taksim Square, Gezi Park and Istiklal Street acted as the core problem area with its disintegrated and segregated physical and cultural territorial borders. The participants were invited to develop their own understanding of public space and jointly produce their own place-making strategies on possible alternatives for the process of planning, designing and implementing change in public spaces in accordance to their scope, use and meaning. As a result, the Re-PUBLIC Programme tested a number of innovative research and planning methods to improve teaching in planning and design studies. A major impact was expected from the cross-country approach and joint-learning. It is hoped that the experience of Re-PUBLIC will provide a critical medium of knowledge transfer in design education. Keywords Public space, Urban design, Place-making, Design education.

1. Introduction Throughout the world’s cities, public space is playing an ever more important role in the production of places. At the same time, it has become the core of contradicting demand. Commodification, commercialisation and even militarisation of public space are indicators of its declining quality as a factor of urban identity, culture and the freedom of communication. While neglect and deterioration are among the factors for this withering; the transformation into pseudo-public spaces is also effective in conjunction with privatisation and an extension of market principles to the provision of QVCMJD TQBDF TFF 1VOUFS $SBXford, 1995; Defilippis, 1997). On the one hand, they have come under the influence of a neo-liberal commercialisation of the cities, while on the other; they have increasingly been adopted by civil society as a space of self-definition and cultural action. The old role of public space as a set format of the state and the government’s self-representation is obsolete and new approaches for a co-production of public space are needed to turn contested public space into an element of inclusive urbanity. The relations are manifold and reciprocal: Public space is designed and made by people and at the same time, public space by its design and form influences people in their everyday and political life. Citizens contribute to the identity of the places and places are influencing the spatial reality and the social life of the cities. In this sense, we should develop a thinking of space with reference to the different levels of collectivity as EFĕOFE CZ .PSBMFT EFNPDSBDZ CZ 'SBTFS 1BSLJOTPO social integration (or disintegration) and borders as described by MadaOJQPVS BOE UFSSJUPSJBM PSHBOJTBtion including physical, territorial and cultural order by Habraken (1998). Place-making is therefore of major importance in re-creating interrelations between buildings, time and space, institutions and people. Regarding the TPDJP TQBUJBM MJUFSBUVSF #VUMFS #BVNBOO 4OPX < > we, today, aware that people (and communities) are making place and people (and communities) are made by space.

Regarding this conceptualisation, ‘The Re-PUBLIC: Remaking the Public Space’ focused on complex and diversified layers of public space within the context of the place-making logic. The Workshop, which took place JO *TUBOCVM GSPN UP +VMZ JO Taskisla – Istanbul Technical UniversiUZ *56 'BDVMUZ PG "SDIJUFDUVSF BT QBSU of European Union Life Long Learning Erasmus Intensive Programme, was a joint undertaking between four higher education institutions including ITU (coordinator), Brandenburg Technical 6OJWFSTJUZ ,6 -FVWFO 'BDVMUZ PG "Schitecture and Politecnico di Torino with 12 tutors1 and 31 participants2. The participants of the workshop were 3rd or 4th year students of the undergraduate programmes and the students of graduate programmes in partner institutions. The core idea was to respond to the above mentioned issues regarding Istanbul’s Taksim region including the Taksim Square, Gezi Park and Istiklal Street as a core problem area that has been disintegrated and segregated with specific physical and cultural territorial borders (Adanali, 6[VNLFTJDJ &SLVU The participants were invited to develop their own understanding of public space and jointly produce their own place-making strategies on possible alternatives for the process of planning, designing and implementing change in public spaces in accordance to their scope, use and meaning. Among the key questions the intensive programme intends to respond to are: What role does public space play in defining the urban cultural, social and spatial identity of cities in rapidly transforming societies? How is public space transforming cities and citizens in the interplay of the public and the private in cities at a time of increasing marketisation? What is the role of the citizens in the using and making of the public space? How to research and map the various actors and influences shaping public spaces? What are the meaning and role of public space in building democracy, cultural identity and in reviving city’s image, economy and liveability? How can public space be qualified to build a bridge between the past, the present and the future?

What are the driving and restraining forces in remaking public space? What are the characteristics of good quality public space? How should design, planning process and maintenance of public space respond to the changes in society and to the current financial crisis of the public sector? How can the theories and concepts of place-making be utilised to improve the relations in the triangle between urban politics and planning administration, the economic realm, and the citizens as owners? By responding to these questions, the Re-PUBLIC tested a number of innovative research and planning methods to improve teaching in planning studies. A major impact was expected from the cross-country approach and the joint learning of students and teachers with the partly diverse background of the professions and experiences in the various countries taking part. Knowledge transfer and management played an important role and the experience of the Re-PUBLIC filtered into the teaching and learning methodologies of the universities taking part. This paper presents the outcome of this intensive workshop. 2. Re-PUBLIC methodology The methodological approach of the Re-PUBLIC was based in a cross-disciplinary collaboration of researches and planners, as it is characteristic of place-making based projects. The Workshop incorporated qualitative as well as quantitative methods, and had a strong analytic and design-oriented basis grounded on various scientific foundations of socio-spatial research. Taksim region was analysed according to the agreed research strategy with a student empirical research programme and hands-on design practice, including developing various pathways of implementation. The student empirical research phase of the workshop was a ‘pre-preparation’ phase with empirical research on the subject and on the spot prior to the starting date of Workshop. Local meetings were provided before the workshop in each partner university. The teaching materials were made available through the website. The hands-on practice part of the workshop XBT B EBZ KPJOU XPSLJOH QIBTF *U

was structured through empirical research and analysis, seminar series, mapping-oriented field studies, discussion sessions, studio work, frequent presentation of the findings and the preparation of design boards and power-point presentations. An intensive programme of seminars was provided by the tutors of the four participating higher education institutions who are highly involved with public space and place-making. They were thematic and methodology-oriented with the target of finding evidence and success oriented methodological innovations in teaching and research, especially with regards to a cross-cultural environment of an international collaboration. Panel was organised with the contributions of Ipek Akpinar and Murat Guvenc to help students to gain acknowledgement on recent developments in the Taksim square, Gezi events and their relation to general idea of place-making, in contrast to the lectures aiming at providing thematic and methodology-oriented discussion on place-making. The main component of the workshop was Field studies. This helped participants to observe, analyse and assess the meaning and role of public space as well as the current challenges in the remaking of these spaces. Design workshop was conducted in 3 stages: (i) analysis, (ii) evaluation/ synthesis and (iii) place-making. (i) There is a long tradition of analysing public spaces from various research perspectives, theoretically grounded and empirically performed. The realm is wide, from understanding the psychological impact of various spaces on the user and on looker to finding out about the pedagogic meaning of certain place patterns. Descriptive analyses of the use of various spaces are also well-known and used in teaching and designing of open spaces, as in the literature on public space as it was developed with regards to the iconic as well as the everyday places and gardens TJODF UIF TFDPOE IBMG PG UIF UI DFOtury a broad body of knowledge has been built up (e.g. Gehl, 1987; Carr, 1992; Sachs Pfeiffer, 1995; Kayden, BOE NBOZ PUIFST GSPN XIJDI a process of theory-based, and at the same time, practice-oriented learning

can be facilitated. The approaches to analysing public spaces are based upon a variety of observations. Sounds, the boundaries towards other sorts of use and between public and private, the embeddedness in the surrounding built environment, the observation of how the places are used, sigh-lines, the textures and materials, including greenery (flora and fauna), and their meaning for the usability and image, are of as much importance as the typologies of use from representation to pleasure and (often) undesired uses by homeless or other people. The genealogy and history of the places are as much of importance for the analysis as the history of decisions, management and maintenance and who takes up the responsibility of place-keeping for the present and the future. As it is claimed JO .BEBOJQPVS FU BM BOBMZTing the public space is a crossroad in which different stakeholders interact within the context of economic, political, social, environmental, and cultural challenges. (ii) The approaches to evaluating public spaces are social science based (evaluation theory and research) as well as founded in the analysis of concrete places and the effect they have internally and externally. Procedures of decision making and design, public participation and residents’ and civil-society’s interests and responsibilities are playing a role as does the itemised check of usability on the regional, urban and neighbourhood level (the ‘meaning of place’). (iii) Theories and practices of place-making are the final turn from analysis and evaluation to finding out about the planning methodology that can lead to better places based upon professional planning knowledge and the participation of residents, users, economic actors and politics. Planning in this sense is not a finalised piece of work, but a process oriented form of action, which continues during the use-period of spaces and includes collaborative running and maintenance of public places. The studio work was supported by Discussion – Forum and Knowledge Cafe sessions to evaluate up-to-date progress. The method of ‘knowledge cafÊ’ was used to introduce a focused form of cross-disciplinary learning

aiming at providing an open and creative conversation on a topic of mutual interest to utilise their collective knowledge, share ideas and insights, and gain a deeper understanding of the subject and the issues involved. The dialogue between students and staff was mediated in various ways using social software, mapping and information aggregation services; and brought to a level where the web environment supports, augments and enriches the reflective learning processes.

Re-PUBLIC scope: Taksim BeyoÄ&#x;lu has been the cultural and economic heart of Istanbul since the 19th century through its European/Levantine population, architecture, and everyday life facilities including hotels, theatres, cafes. It was within those circumstances that the proposal to create a public square as the symbol of new republic was appeared in Henri Prost Plan in Lutfi Kirdar Period of 1939. The plan proposed the demolition of 5BLTJN "SUJMMFSZ #BSSBDLT UP build the Inonu Esplanade ‘Gezi Park’ and new Republican Square around Monument of Independence (1928) (for an overview of history of square, TFF :JMEJSJN %FNJS ,BISBNBO )F EFTJHOFE 5BLTJN 4RVBSF with Inonu Esplanade over Topcu Barracks to be integrated with a grand park stretching through the valley between Dolmabahce, Macka and Harbiye.

Urban interface “At the present moment, Taksim Square is not a square; but instead, it is an urban platform, containing different spaces with their own character and different uses. By identifying the existent and potential edges, we create a strategy of activating Taksim as ‘one’ square. Being aware that the edges of Taksim Square are in people’s memories, we have the intention to materialize them. Edges are not obstacles, but

rather spaces to generate life. Besides the physical and social ones, in Taksim’s undefined perimeter, the sensorial edges played an important role. They are the tools to analyze the perception of space, intuition within orientation, smell, as well as textures. The physical edges are treated in two ways: sharpening or blurring them. They become interfaces! By restructuring the traffic around the northern entrance in the tunnel, the pedestrian surface adjacent to the park increases. By inserting wooden structures for resting on the western slope of Gezi, the park’s edge becomes an opportunity for introducing new functions. The problematic South-West corner of the park initiates the participation process in Taksim and this concept extends from the park to the square. This is achieved with furniture modules, which can be placed by the users according to their wish anywhere in the square, thus appropriating the space. The participation through design is considered to be embedded in the (young) square due to the ironic way it was born: a plate of cement created byte apparatus of control, after the Gezi protests to facilitate their access, has been taken over by the daily move of the Istanbul citizens. In the spirit of giving back to the citizen the city, Taksim is the place where to initiate the process of participation in decision-making. The tramline is extended towards the north following the historical route, linking visually Istiklal to the newly formed promenade alongside Gezi. By uncovering the historical layer, the relationship with water is accentuated. A line of water flows through the tramline, passing by Maksem to Istiklal. The Maksem becomes more visible after clearing the facade from street vendors. The surface ending on the Tarlabasi Street hosts new water works, strengthening the importance of water in Taksim’s history and at its present. An important part of our design is that it has no borders and it doesn’t end with the urban platform. We include the surrounding streets, Istiklal being one of them, which in the past was separated from the Taksim area, having certain physical and cultural territorial CPSEFST 'PS UIJT XF GPSN B WJTVBM DPOnection in the pavement by extending

the tramline on the historical route instead of keeping the current loop. In Taksim Square, we try to highlight the empty urban platform by underlining the quality of the polyvalent space. We create a stage where different kind of activities can be accommodated – forums, open-air cinema, concert, press conference, sports. While designing we also question ourselves - How to redistribute the place in order to invite different users? We want it to be a space of self-expression. In this sense, the proposal contains changeable modules, which people can transform and build up according to their perception. These modules consist of wooden cubes and movable platforms on rails with different textures suitable for resting. We were inspired by one of the statements forwarded in discussion sessions: “If people can build houses themselves, what can they do if you let them build in Taksim square?â€? Our project is not a finalized work, where everything is defined, it is a process, a background for further development. “Times are a changingâ€? as Bob Dylan says‌â€?3 Making an explorative analysis of the social, physical, sensorial and perceptual edges around the Taksim Square, team 1 based their design on the idea of developing ‘urban interfaces’.

have recognized numerous types of surfaces on the site and identified their users, which came from various social groups, ages and gender backgrounds. The main aim of the design was to create urban interfaces to (re)activate Taksim in a holistic manner. In order to accomplish this, team 1 successfully employed several design strategies. Among those were: (i) Connecting the park with the undefined promenade emerged after the tunnel construction, (ii) Creating a gathering and communication space opposite and around the Taksim monument, (iii) Reframing the center of Gezi Park using the ‘artistic backstage’ as a metaphor, (iv) Reconfiguring the square in front of AKM Ataturk Cultural Centre as an open

participatory front stage. Overall, the treatment of the currently undefined space around the Gezi Park was effecUJWF BU TFWFSBM MFWFMT 'JSTU UIF DSFBUJPO of intervention zones with blurred edges enabled a meaningful combination of spaces with various dynamic functions. Second, the design solutions offered by the team effectively addressed multiple scales, ranging from topographical interventions to the urban furniture. Some of the inspiring intervention proposed by this team was to use dynamic ‘flying carpet’ platforms, portable walls and cubical seating elements in front the AKM, which can potentially enable the users configure space according to their needs. The team purposefully designed these as a response to the existing problems of self-expression in the area. They skillfully illustrated several scenarios of use such as an open-air concert hall, cinema, demonstrations and small-scale group interactions. These ideas were perceived as quite applicable in real MJGF 'VSUIFSNPSF CZ SFTQFDUGVMMZ SF

appropriating the existing elements of the square such as the stairs leading to the park, the area around the Taksim monument and the Maksem was (re) activated as space for alternative forms of participatory urban life. Another positive aspect of the team was the careful incorporation of ideas introduced during the lectures provided at the beginning of the workshop. 4.2.

Beside the historical city core, another city centre developed at the heart of city, which was influenced by western cultures and ideologies. During the last centuries, Taksim Square became one of the most meaningful places in Istanbul. At the top of one of the seven hills, it served for water distribution and was a relevant component of physical city growth. The Gezi Park with its historical meaning on the area of the old castle has also changed in the field of social aspects, especially during

the riots in the last years against political actions. Located at the north end of the Istiklal- Shopping-Street, which was closed for motorized traffic since UIF T FYDMVEFE UIF IJTUPSJDBM USBN which brings people from Taksim to Galata, it is the spatial connection between any kind of city functions and XFMM DPOOFDUFE CZ .FUSP 'VOJDVMBS Tram, Bus and Dolmus. Taksim was in the firing line of different actors of EJWFSTF JOUFSFTUT DPOTJTUFOUMZ *O the Turkish government realized its project to keep the traffic out of Taksim Square and constructed a tunnel for motorized vehicles beneath the Taksim. Since that intervention, Taksim Square became a concrete flat unstructured space with no kind of qualities and got the risk of losing its very special character and meaning. Accessibility from each side is needed, according to the pedestrian flow and the major merging points. Barriers as roads are reduced in our design. The square will be divided into three main areas with imperceptible boundaries, but it will still be consistent throughout its surface. We’ve noticed that some areas suffer from exclusion, so we will try to ensure an inclusive design. Our goal is to enhance connections in the square creating paths and defining directions and new meeting points. Connectivity is crucial and will lead the design for the whole square. Physical connections between Gezi Park, AKM Ataturk Cultural Center, the northern Metro entrance, Taksim Square Monument, old water distribution building - Maksem and Istiklal Street must be reinforced. The aim is to create interactivity between the fragments of the Taksim area. Multifunctional use in the sections of our design is our purpose and also including all types of interests with recreational space and event space and moreover keeping the function as a transition area between different functions and uses. Street-vendors and informal use are integrated in our vision in order to get a balanced design.�4 The analytic studies of Team 2 led to the recognition of mobility issues and connectivity around the project TJUF 'PDVTJOH PO UIFTF NBUUFST UIFZ aimed at reinforcing the physical connections between Gezi Park, AKM

As a result of the design interventions above, Team 2 demonstrated the potentials of making multi-dimensional connections along, around and through the project site. Jury members noted that the design proposal could be improved through a better integration of the underground transportation points and stops. Moreover, the clear-cut definition of functional zones could be improved to enable a more flexible use of space.

4.3. Green Istanbul “When you arrive Taksim for the first time, you notice that it’s one of the busiest places in the Beyoglu district both for tourists and locals. Taksim is also a gigantic public transportation hub. What you perceive first is that it’s a really crowded undefined public space both from pedestrians and cars. It is impossible to find your way, to understand where you are going to, and also Gezi Park is not well-connected with the lower level. The AKM Ataturk Cultural Centre facing the square is not used nowadays. It’s a pity, because it’s the cultural centre, and without it the place lose its identity. After this first visit to the area, we decided to call our project “Taksim Square is everywhere� in relationship with our idea of the green loop. The green area analysis shows us that there is a great potential in this part of Istanbul city because there are lots of green areas around Taksim Square that we’d like to connect to each other to create a big green loop that could finish on the seaside. The neighbourhood analysis shows us different type of activities around the square: On the north, mostly offices and hotels are located, conversely on the south, there are residential uses, offices and important landmarks such as Maksem and the Monument of the Republic. According to our SWOT analysis, we found out that the square is not exactly a good example of wellused public space. There is a huge empty space, which is not appropriate to be a meeting point. Accordingly,

we determine our vision with three keywords: ‘reconnection’, ‘define the entrances’ and ‘reactivate’. We particularly focused on reconnection because of the lack of green relations. In order to improve this aspect, we designed a vast green loop, which collects the European part of Istanbul city. The main point of this loop is Gezi Park, which nowadays is not related with Macka Park because of the break down bridge. As a result of our loop, pedestrian ways will be created to connect seaside with the square. In order to make the loop accessible, entrances will be designed and Gezi Park will become the main green entrance. Our project will define how a good public space should be: (i) Attractive and more interactive (ii) Safe in a greener city (iii) Cleaner, better-maintained. To respect this purpose, the square is divided in different functions for different users according to our vision about how people move inside the square. The four zones to define the needs of the different users are: (i) Long stay zone (ii) Short stay zone (iii) Event space (iv) Gezi Park. As a last step, Taksim Square was designed to equalize the level of Gezi Park with the level of the rest of the square through a path. As a result it formed a green trail that connect the entire green ring to the rest of the city.�5 Team 3 made a large-scale analysis of the green areas and different type of activities around the project site. They found that Gezi Park was not well connected with the larger and ‘lower’ scale. Accordingly, the team has focused on three main themes: reconnection, defining entrances and reactivation. Based on these themes and inspired by the urban plan proposed by Henri 1SPTU JO UIFZ IBWF EFWFMPQFE TPMid strategies regarding Gezi Park’s relation to the city. Among those were: (i) Making a new ecological system which can be connected to other parks, (ii) Connecting all parks together to make one green system, (iii) Giving an individual character to each park. The focal point of this system would be Gezi Park. It was suggested to be reconnected with the Macka Park, creating pedestrian routes linking the BospoSVT XJUI UIF TRVBSF 'VSUIFSNPSF UIF team identified key connection points

and reframed them as ‘entrances’. In this context, Gezi Park was proposed as the main green entrance. The design suggestions were not only limited to large-scale strategies. According to the project, the square was divided into different functions for different uses and users: long stay and short stay zones, event space and the Gezi Park (as a special category). Specific urban interventions were chosen to facilitate these functions: sitting, lighting elements, floor material, canopies for creating shadow. The team also developed more detailed plan drawings regarding the square, but these were conceived as underdeveloped by the jury members. However, the aforementioned suggestions were welcome. 4.4. See the memory / Look into the square “Our investigation into Taksim square was guided by the following founding principle: ‘See the Memory, Look into the Square’. In its current form, Taksim exists as a palimpsest of deconstructed historical elements. The intention of our project, therefore, is to re-appropriate the layers of historical identity, which exist around the public space so as to define a more structured and identifiable public space. Two categories of historical interventions have been identified: The ancient history of Taksim is one of large scale underground infrastructures, a water distribution centre along with subterranean public transport connections, which allowed for an open flat space in the centre of the city’s difficult topography. The contemporary history, on the other hand, is informed by the Gezi Park protests where the symbolism of open space in Istanbul was inverted from a militaristic space for control to a democratic space for bottom up representation. Our intervention, therefore, had to respond on these two levels. 'JSTUMZ UIF CFMPX HSPVOE BTQFDU PG UIF space, the access to the metro and bus links, was to be revealed and celebrated as the founding forms of Taksim. Secondly, our project had to provide a new kind of urban space, which allowed for a bottom up form of appropriation, which could counteract the chaotic neo-liberal interventions cur-

rently defining Istanbul development. We concretized these aspects into a singular line that could define space in and around Taksim Square with a more manageable scale. The line would remain entirely permeable so as to define without dividing, and active interface, which would bring commercial, design friendly, zones to Cumhuriyet Avenue and the two zones of Taksim Square. The square in front of the AKM Ataturk Cultural Centre is now redefined as a space for repose, with a softer groundscape intervention connecting it to the Cultural Centre and, importantly, the disused zone to the north of the AKM where a great view over the city can be found. The pavilion bookending the south of our Line is an interface between the square and the monument where market stalls are moved from wall of the Maksem - Water Distribution Centre (thereby returning it to its symbolic importance) and entrances to the underground are

congregated. The northern pavilion serves the same function whilst reclaiming pedestrian space from the street and acting as an entrance to the QBSL 'JOBMMZ PVS TUSVDUVSF GPS BQQSPpriation has been designed as a hierarchy between enclosed, defined space, which supports a forest of columns, which may be overtaken by the public as they see fit. This forms a new kind of public space, which has extended Gezi Park and activated Cumhuriyet Avenue. The columns are given a series of corbels, which can be used to define programmatic relations unforeseen by any top-down intervention.�6 Team 4 focused on the historical aspects of Taksim Square and created a conceptual discourse on the accumulation of these elements. In this sense, the square was interpreted as a ‘palimpsest’ made of two layers: (i) ancient archaeological remains and (ii) contemporary events in the memories of the people. In relation to these, the proposed design suggested interventions at the level of two layers: below ground and the social space for bottom up appropriation while extending the Gezi Park and activating the Cumhuriyet Avenue. 'JSTU .BLTFN XBT DPVQMFE XJUI XBUFS features and underground entrances. In this way the team aimed at returning its symbolic meaning back. Second -and the most important- layer of the proposal involved the development of a novel social urban space for bottom up appropriation as a means to counteracting the existing gridlock situation. In order to serve this purpose, the team established an interaction-axis along the Gezi Park, next to the Cumhuriyet Avenue. This axis was enforced by a flexible structure facilitating various functions emerged before and after the manifestations. The potentials of this structure were recognized by several Jury members but the decisions regarding its implementation were found underdeveloped in general. Another interesting aspect of the proposal was rescaling and redefinition of square in front of AKM Ataturk Cultural Centre as a space for ‘repose’. It successfully connected the underutilized area at the back of the center with the rest of the square, demonstrating a significant potential as a vista point.

5. Re-PUBLIC evaluation and impact Re-PUBLIC constructed an inter-active research and hands-on practice platform to understand the complex and diversified relations in the triangle between city, citizens and planners, and the logics of place-making. It explored the cultural, historical, economical, ecological and political spheres of remaking the public space. While it questioned the way in which the public space is transforming the cities, it identified the diversified, multi-layered and complex meaning and role of public space including the revival of cities’ image, improvement of quality of life and liveability, influencing economic value, building inter-cultural dialogue and democracy etc. Taksim Square was used as a platform to discuss the future of public spaces. By doing so, it tested a number of innovative research and planning methods to improve teaching in planning studies. A major impact was rooted from the cross-country approach and the joint-learning of students and tutors with the partly diverse background of the professions in the various countries taking part. Knowledge transfer and management played an important role and the experience of the Re-PUBLIC hoped to filter into the teaching and learning methodologies of the universities taking part. Expanding upon the collaborative relationship between ITU, Brandenburg Technical University, KU Leuven 'BDVMUZ PG "SDIJUFDUVSF BOE 1PMJUFDOJco di Torino, the Re-PUBLIC enabled cultural and academic exchange as an everyday experience through studying the multi-contextual spheres in the remaking the public space. The intensive ten-day studies increased insights, perspectives and experiences of participants in terms of culture – society – everyday life and public space providing an innovative approach through which public space was observed as a place of society and cultural experience. Both the fundamental aspects of urban planning and design and personal perception of public space were central to the Workshop as the critical dimensions. To improve the quality and to increase the volume of student and teaching staff mobility throughout Europe, the hosting of participants from different coun-

tries allowed to examine and to discuss different types and uses of public spaces and culture while experiencing them as the real users. The workshop used necessary ICT tools not only in teaching programme but also in conducting systematic dissemination and exploitation of results. Project website and blog diaries helped to disseminate the results throughout the planned process with the active participation of students and tutors. Website introduced all the materials on the workshop to increase the e-learning capacity. A web-based social geographic platform was utilized for the enhancement of design-learning before, during and after the IP workshop. The platform provided various opportunities for enhanced integration and improving the learning processes. In the erasmus IP context, the dialogue between the design students and studio tutors were mediated in various ways using social software, mapping and information aggregation services; and brought to a level where the web environment supports, augments and enriches the reflective learning processes. Increasing the quality and quantity of multilateral co-operation between the IP partners, interdisciplinary aspects of urban design was reinforced and the importance of collaborative communication processes within city planning, urban design, architecture, civil engineering, landscape architecture was emphasized. Re-PUBLIC was a call for rethinking the public space as a bridge between the past, present and future, while emphasizing the current economic-political processes and socio-spatial challenges. The outputs included a geographic web platform as a knowledge-base with an integrated learning/mapping tool reflecting different stages of the workshop, a thematic workshop report providing guidelines for future development, an exhibition during the World 1MBOOJOH %BZ /PWFNCFS IPTUFE by ITU). The intensive programme has contributed to the cohesion of the academic realm concerned with the analysis and planning/development of public space in the societies of the 21st century (study, teaching, research). Sharing the outputs of this intensive programme that include the examining process of the use and making of public spaces in

Abstract This paper evaluated two alternatives to rightfully conceive the relation between landscape and architecture: a historical reconstruction and some interpretations of philosophical sources, as. This evaluation was achieved by an identification of precedents in order to characterize the context of the problem; by a selection of representative examples for illustrating the type of difficulties that arise from historical reconstructions or from interpretations of philosophical sources; and by a proposal of some criteria to articulate both historical and theoretical sources, based in the analysis of the selected examples. As a conclusion of such evaluation, it was stated that by keeping in mind the distance between the philosophical sources and its interpretation, and by appreciating an architectural theory by its performance, rather than by its production of truths, it is possible, at least partially, to overcome the found difficulties. This conclusion invites to understand civilization as a project to contribute to a common heritage. In its turn, such understanding would help to reach a balance with interests tied to local cultures. Keywords Architectural theory, Place-based thinking, Landscape theory.

1. Introduction This paper is about the usefulness of the concept of landscape in the realm of architecture. It is grounded on a research project on the concept of landscape in architectural composition’s learning processes, developed by two BSDIJUFDUVSF TDIPPMT JO #PHPUB $PMPNCJB EVSJOH In Latin America, some schools of architecture regard special relevance to landscape in the design studio.

This paper contributes to solve the problem of how to rightfully conceive the relation between landscape and architecture with an evaluation of two alternative ways in which this relationship has been argued. The first alternative considered is a historical reconstruction, while the second one is an interpretation of philosophical sources. Such evaluation provides some criteria, useful to identify, select and articulate historical and theoretical sources. In order to evaluate these historical and theoretical alternatives it was needed first to characterize the context in which a conception of the relation between the concepts of landscape and BSDIJUFDUVSF JT SFRVJSFE UIFO UP JMMVT-

Nowadays, it is possible to find authors that quoting Rappoport’s House Form and Culture to stand: “Culture has always been an essential dimension in the life of man who has manifested in the production of his livingâ€? (Layachi, 2016, pĂĄg. 80)

Smienk and Niemeijer added to this: “He [Palladio] has even exploited the given situation here so well that he, and not Alexander Pope (a few centuries later), would appear to have invented the concept of genius lociâ€? (Smienk & Niemeijer, 2011, pĂĄg. 10)

The phrase alteram naturam could be read as a reference to the other that is not nature, as the Arendt´s idea of worldliness from The Human Condition (1998 [1958]): “Work in the activity which corresponds to the unnaturalness of human existence, which is not imbedded in, and whose mortality is not compensated by, the species’ everrecurring life cycle. Work provides an “artificialâ€? world of things, distinctly different from all natural surroundings. Within its borders each individual life is hosed, while this world itself is meant to outlast and transcended them all. The human condition of work is worldliness.â€? (Arendt, 1998 [1958], pĂĄg. 7)

“[‌] on one occasion, when the topic of the immortal gods was made the subject of a very searching and thorough discussion at the house of my friend Gaius Cotta. It was the Latin Festival, and I had come at Cotta’s express invitation to pay him a visit. I found him sitting in an alcove, engaged in debate with Gaius Velleius, a Member of the Senate, accounted by the Epicureans as their chief Roman adherent at the time. With them was Quintus Lucius Balbus, who was so accomplished a student of Stoicism as to rank with the leading Greek exponents of that system.â€? (Cicero, 1967 [1933]/45 a. C., pĂĄg. 17 y 19) 5 After saying: “I think that I have said enough to prove the existence of the gods and their natureâ€? (Cicero, 1967 [1933]/45 a. C., pĂĄg. 193), at the end of the II Book’s 28th chapter, Balbus’ character begins next chapter declaring: “Next I have to show that the world is governed by divine providence.â€? (Cicero, 1967 [1933]/45 a. C., pĂĄg. 195)

6 An example of how Cotta’s character refutes the stoic divine providence doctrine is: “[‌] similarly, if men abuse the faculty of reason, bestowed on them with a good intention by the immortal gods, by employing it to cheat and wrong their fellows, it would have been better for it not to be bestowed upon the human race than to be bestowed. Just as, supposing a doctor to know that a patient for whom he prescribes wine will be certain to drink it with too little water and will die on the spot, that doctor would be greatly to blame, so your Stoic providence is to be censured for bestowing reason upon those whom it knew to be going to use [363] it wrongly and evilly. Unless perhaps you say that providence did not know. I only wish you would ! but you will not dare to, for I am well aware how highly you esteem its name.â€? (Cicero, 1967 [1933]/45 a. C., pĂĄg. 363 y 365) 7

“Balbus the Stoic is speaking here, but Cicero has revealed elsewhere his appraisal of the power of men to change the earth about them.â€? (Glacken, 1967, pĂĄg. 145)

“In short, what advantage and convenience could have been realized from the brute creation, had not men assisted? Men, undoubtedly were the first who discovered what useful results we might realize from every animal; nor could we even at this time either feed, tame, preserve, or drive from them advantages suited to the occasion, without the help of man. And it is by the same that such as are hurtful are destroyed and such as may be useful are taken. Why should I enumerate the variety of arts without which life could by no means be sustained? [Cic., De officiis, II, 4.]â€? (Glacken, 1967, pĂĄg. 145) After this quotation Glacken adds: “With Cicero surely it was not a matter of philosophy alone; it must also have been the observation of past and present Roman technical achievements: mining, commerce, trade, the Cloaca Maxima, the land surveys, and the roads were evidences that the power of man was not only great but of a different order than that of any other kind of life,â€?

Palladio also explicitly supports his Four Books of Architecture (1570) in Vitruvius’ treatise, as he declare in the first paragraph: “I proposed to myself Vitruvius for my master and guide, who is the only antient writer of this art, and myself to search into the reliques of all the antient edifices, that, in spight of time and the cruelty of the Barbarians, yet remain [‌]â€?

Abstract Innovative applications of post consumer packaging units in architecture are traced from the Hellenistic period. Interpreting the Romans’ eco sensitivity, post industrial revolution era witnessed the development of ‘eco-centric ideal’ and ‘prospector’s, cook’s and nomad’s approaches’. The primary objective is to study the unique strategies and techniques developed by architects, artists, technocrats and environmentalists in reusing the primary, secondary and tertiary packaging waste in the built environments. For the study, thematic analysis is adopted to investigate and consolidate the diverse practices in today’s context. The summary of findings reveals the embedded design processes, the vocabulary created by such structures in the environment portraying the current use of post consumer packaging waste as building blocks in load and non load bearing components, techniques developed in erecting ephemeral spaces creating a dialogue with the environment, offering a variety of spatial experiences to the viewers, visitors and the users. We posit that a comprehensive understanding of such approaches and concepts give new directions to evolve and develop ideas with the used packaging materials in open ended prefabricated systems. Keywords Architecture, Design process, Packaging waste, Vocabulary.

Based on the commodities, classification of primary and secondary packaging keeps interchanging. With respect to agricultural goods, baskets, barrels, jute bags and polymer bags are used which fall under the primary as well as tertiary packaging. 1.1. Origin of packaging waste use in built forms The innovative application of post consumer packaging wastes can be traced from the Romans’ era.

The primary reasons for such applications are exhaustive use of natural and virgin materials in packaging industry, an alternative use to the materials which becomes a waste after the primary use, address the shelter crisis through developing appropriate construction techniques, to create an awareness to the public, use technology to develop the waste in to novel building materials, components etc. The primary objective of this study is to explore the ideas, approaches and methods adopted by architects, environmentalists and artists in erecting permanent and temporary structures intuitively, poetically and as problem

Abstract This study investigates the exhibition spaces designed by Le Corbusier and their common features by describing and classifying them as the existing literature does not offer a full genealogy of his exhibition spaces with the intent to identify connections between them. The relationship of architecture and the exhibited object is the key concept in understanding of the exhibition spaces, including the pavilions, galleries, and some of his museums, which can be described in three main groups: in the first group, architecture becomes the representation itself as a nomadic gesture. In the second group, the structure separates itself from the materiality of the exhibition to create a dual existence and in the third group, the structure and the exhibition obtain singular yet connected and well-defined identities. The reading of exhibition spaces indicates a career-long search by Corbusier for the identity of architecture as a representation of the exhibition itself, which explains the emergence of a template in the late years. The development of exhibition spaces from 1924 to 1962, evidences the existence of a clear leitmotif, which connects Corbusier’s pavilions one another and represents his conception of exhibition space. All temporary exhibition spaces have a very specific shape, which can be described as a reverse double triangular at the roof or on the facade. The relation of this formal leitmotif as the common feature and the understanding of exhibition space reveals an example of Corbusier’s rationalism, which contains elements of symbolism, formalism, functionalism and structural innovation as a synthesis. Keywords Le Corbusier, Exhibition Pavilions, Representation, Functionalism, Leitmotiv.

1. Introduction This paper will focus on the relationship of the exhibition pavilions Le Corbusier has designed throughout his career. In addition to the analysis of formal features of the temporary exhibition spaces, how Le Corbusier conceives them will also be described. On the basis of a classification and genealogy, the common features of pavilions will be brought to spotlight in terms of symbolism, formalism and functionalism. In the first part, the first exhibition pavilions will be studied. The L’Esprit Nouveau Pavilion /FTUM� 1BWJMJPO #BU B 1BWJMJPO BOE /FX 5JNFT 1BWJMJPO can be considered as a group of exhibition spaces, where an experimental and light structure puts forward the exhibition and acts predominantly as a faceless skin to transform the architecture into the exhibition itself. The structure in its pure sense exposes various timid triangular experimentations. In the second part, it will be focused on the two pavilions as a period of transition. The Water Pavilion and Synthesis of Major Arts Pavilion represent an intermediate tone where the structure becomes more independent than the exhibition areas. Thus, as the structure becomes less attached to the exhibition, it also becomes less representative. The independent umbrellas exhibit wave-like rise and falls in obtuse angles. In the third part, some of the museum designs of Le Corbusier will be analyzed in terms of their relation to the exhibition pavilions to emphasize the role of the triangle leitmotif. The World Museum of Mundaneum, the City and State Museum and the Knowledge Museum in Chandigarh (are the atypical museums of Le Corbusier, which are in a formal dialogue with exhibition pavilions. They have a direct connection with the archaic pyramidal shape that was first used in Mundaneum’s museum. It will be shown that the pyramidal reference obtains certain concrete and representational functions, whereas the historical reference weakens after the Mundaneum project. A fourth group of pavilions can be described as a template, which were EFTJHOFE JO T BOE QSPQPTFE NBOZ times as a part of a cultural complex.

The exhibition areas preserve their semi public, circulation-based character, but the limitless shell structure of attached units becomes a more formally defined roof with double pediments. The last pavilions, namely the Philips Pavilion, Ahrenberg Palace and Heidi Weber Pavilion, the last realized project of the architect, represent a maturity where the expressionist character of the shell continues, whereas the exhibition spaces become less nomadic and more unique. While Phillips Pavilion is rather an exception, combining architecture with the exhibition space, the Heidi Weber museum embodies the separation of shell of folded steel and exhibition space and they both have their own architectural formal character. In the fifth part, the leitmotif will be evaluated on the background of Le Corbusier’s architecture. It will be noted that a certain understanding of exhibition space reveals itself throughout the development of exhibition pavilions and, thus, prints its stamp as a leitmotiv, which is the reverse triangles. Finally, it will be suggested that reverse triangels have representational, formal and structural connotations. As a conclusion, it will be noted that the leitmotiv as reverse triangles in exhibition is an example of Le Corbusier’s rationalist attitude. 2. Exhibition pavilions: From NestlÊ Pavilion to Water Pavilion Exhibition Pavilions are signs, like billboards, that have the intention to draw attention. As portable structures, an exhibition pavilion is expected to stand for something else. Le Corbusier’s first pavilion in 1924, L’Espirit Nouveau, was a pavilion showcasing the modern life and it’s style of designs. The graphically designed letters on the outer wall reminds us that it was not a real modern villa, but a promotion of it. It was standing in the place of modern architecture itself.

All walls were covered with photographs and texts or simply painted. An airplane was suspended to intensify the inseparable character of representation from the space. Representation was becoming one with the space. It was a combination of artifacts in the size of a building to surround the visitor completely with the objects, visual material and texts. Whereas the interior was designed a separate entity from the structure, it was inseparably from the represented objects.

Le Corbusier was trying to use steel’s potential and in Bat’a he used the truss system not only in columns but also in the roof. Except a ceremonious shed roof no triangular dominated shape can be seen in this unrealized building. But the truss with a slight angle can be noticed in the section. yet the roof detail connects this pavilion to the former galleries. The space inside is covered with documents; even the walls were proper for projection. It is not a void; it is a customized space for a particular group of artifacts. Le Corbusier’s emphasizing on standard production elements exists here as well. By standardization, the construction becomes easier to proceed and it gives his designs the notion of reproductively.

ion. The combination of steel-trussed poles and wires became horizontally expandable double vaulted trusses. Structurally more complex, it was designed as a unit to be attached to each other at all sides. Le Corbusier defined his building as ‘infinite nave’ reminding his Museum of Infinite Growth of FTQFDJBMMZ JO UFSNT PG UIF BTZNmetrical swastika of the ramps. But his exhibition space can be considered as a total flux in one axis instead of the spiral growth of the museum.

This aspect XBT QSFNBUVSF JO /FX 5JNFT CVU JU was the Water Pavilion that completely separated the structure from the exhibition.

looking up, the next looking down. A rhythmic rise and fall movement then, dominate the structure. The “infinite naveâ€? remained unrealized but the wave movement of umbrellas reemerged as a motif right after the Second World War. Le Corbusier already made an appeal for a synthesis of the major arts in his essay for the journal VolontĂŠ in 1944. The theme then was taken up by CIAM and finally, a meeting was held in Paris to put in practice this introduction of the plastic arts into architecture in 1948. The concrete task, which Le Corbusier undertook was to create, the “architectural conditionsâ€? into which painting and sculpture might be introduced in the form of an exhibition at Porte Maillot, a ground which was provisionally loaned by the town of Paris. The selected artists was supposed to show their work to under “a series of shelters, umbrellas and parasolsâ€? placed along a circulation ramp to from “a succession of coPSEJOBUFE TFOTBUJPOTw -F $PSCVTJFS The main aspect of the design is a double roof structure, covering independent units and the ramp for public exhibition. The double unit roof structure has its roots in the semi open parasols of Water Pavilion. It creates a public space, independent of the exhibition itself. The roof does not consist of curved trusses but of angular sheetsteel units, which face opposite directions -one heading down, the other up. It is not an infinite number of the roof unites, but only two, whereas the alternation effect is similar to Water Pavilion. This alternation of orientation of the grand steel umbrellas implies the continuity as a possibility, expressing a f dynamism at the same time. The continuous sinus curves of the roof of Water Pavilion became the recognizable alternating triangles of Synthesis of Major Arts Pavilion. Le Corbusier firmly believed that architecture itself was the synthesis of arts and as he became more of a poet of “right angelâ€? then the prophet of machine age after the Second World War, it was understandable he initiated an association and an majestic exhibition to fortify architecture’s artistic value and his position as the most suitable delegate of it. At this stage, it

was obvious that the architecture has separated from the representation, it became the synthesis itself, sheltering the semi-public exhibition of painting and sculpture. 4. The pyramid and Le Corbusier’s museums Le Corbusier’s museums and exhibition pavilions together constitute the solution of exhibition problem in two compartments, permanent and temporary. They should be covered as a whole as many museum and pavilions were proposed next to each other on the same side as part of his cultural center baggage. Moreover some of his museums, which do not fit to the strictly applied, trademark museum temples, the generic Museum of Infinite Growth, can rather be linked to exhibition pavilions.

cient reference seems not being of great importance. But as it is well documented, Le Corbusier, an admirer of Greek architecture, always stayed close, if not loyal, to the mathematical formalism of guiding lines and basic shapes that he considered as fundamentals of ancient temples. Fittingly, a pyramid pops up in the first pages of Oeuvre Complète, the self-edited book of collected works by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanerette. This project, maybe unconsciously, sets the tone of art related projects in Le Corbusier’s career.

and Pierre Jeanneret designed an urban complex as a meeting point of cultures, called Mundaneum, which also included a World Museum. Although the timid modernity of its architecture was not approved in the final round of the competition, it was the first museum project Le Corbusier worked on. Mundaneum project is based on a three-dimensional spiral, which forms the exhibition naves, setting up an obscure main hall in the middle. The circulation, starting from early cultures, brings the visitor to present which is symbolized by the escalation of ramps. The project was not built, but it played a subtle but an important role as an early prototype for the museums and exhibition centers throughout Le Corbusier’s career. In 1929, right after the publication of the plans, Karel Teige published a harsh criticism towards Le Corbusier from the camp of functionalist architecture.

One side of the building creates a sliced pyramid, while the other side creates another sliced pyramid on its top. On the facade, both sides clearly reveal the pyramidal outline, but in a fragmented way. It can be argued that a similar formalist scheme was processed in a modernist manner. Le Corbusier’s museums soon found their archetype in Museum of Infinite Growth, leaving the pyramidal references behind until the Knowledge Museum of Chandigarh, a project that remained unrealized as one of the last projects Le Corbusier presented to the Indian authorities.

The exterior ramp, which is identical to Secretariat in Chandigarh, can be compared with the vertical “tree trunk� transitions of City and State Museum. Furthermore, the sun shields placed on either facade between all columns, differ along floor in a rhythmic movement. The modules including stairs to connect storeys vertically have a more solid look and by sliding them one step towards the middle on each floor, Le Corbusier creates a triangle on one side and a reverse triangle on the other side. The building shows strange but obvious similarity to the City and State Museum. It gives the first impression as if Le Corbusier put the terraced part of the City and State Museum on the top of the other side to obtain a rectangular prism with a junction mark on the triangle facade. The City and State Museum and Knowledge Museum are derivations of Le Corbusier’s strictly followed museum archetype manifested in the built Chandigarh museum, an elevated building without facade, with a swastika plan presenting multiple vistas - a version of museum of unlimited growth without the ability of growth. The resemblance to pyramid or triangular terraced organization may have the archaic reference or its functional aspect, too, but it essentially reveals a representational attitude. The terraced

The roof structure and exhibition spaces would reach a mature and balanced self-expression. The first example of that balance was designed in 1962.

closed building under the double umbrellas. This difference lies on the program, as Ahrenberg Palace was not part of a cultural complex, as second tier to the major museum building. In PUIFS WFSTJPOT TJODF UIF FYIJCJtion spaces were composed of either independent small buildings integrated through ramps or walkways, or, at most, a semi-open single building. Ahrenberg Palace, on the contrary, has its own proper facade balanced with the roof structure. “Circulation has been designed in such a way, that visitors are guided through a great variety of spaces: along an esplanade, through a two storied covered space, then lower spaces 2,26 m high, by a garden with monumental sculptures and over a ramp underneath the umbrellas� (Le $PSCVTJFS On the other hand, all exhibition pavilions, including the one for Stockholm, had the twin parasols, two butterfly-shaped steel folds facing opposite directions. In the meantime, a deviation form the template can be seen in the famous experimental design of Philips pavilion. Yet, it also represents the expected dynamism of his exhibition spaces created again by triangular shapes, even if it is much more complicated. Philips Pavilion in Brussels fair in 1958 cannot be considered in the line of typical exhibition spaces with the pressed triangular trusses. The pavilion completely toys with some other structural opportunities. The structure is composed of hyperbolic-parabolic shells. But it is interesting to see the complex facade of various triangles. It is called an electronic poem, creating a space with possibilities of projection and sound. The architecture becomes one with representation, as in his early pavilions, but Philips Pavilion has its unique formal character. It is not a faceless structure to bring the exhibition area under the spotlight. The complex triangular three-dimensionality expresses lightness and dynamism as expected. Le Corbusier’s last pavilion and last realized design is located in Zurich and based on his pavilion template containing an angular sheet-steel roof cantilevered from a series of steel piers

The design of the roof is characteristic, steel screens fitted together as brisesoleil. It consists of two square parts of welded metal sheets that were lifted and fixed on the pillars.

The building has two floors connected by a concrete ramp, which is a mass itself, reminding the ramp of the Knowledge Museum (also the 4FDSFUBSJBU PG $IBOEJHBSI FTTFOUJBMMZ Heidi Weber Pavilion manifests the independent parts as self sustained architectural entities. The roof structure has the same expressionist character of the template. But the spaces underneath are not walkways or scattered prisms; but they constitute the building itself. The building has a balance between the roof structure and interior as two separate entities. Furthermore, today’s Le Corbusier Center in Zurich is a representation of Le Corbusier’s architecture itself. Painted panels in primary colors dominate the facade, whereas the distances maintain the standard of Modulor, the 2.26 m height as a basic unit.

The main difference is that in Zurich the architecture is on the spotlight and it attracts the attention with its own formal features. In a way the architecture became more dominant to the temporary representation space. Still the nomadic sense

is there -the flying roof, tens of thousands of bolts and other parts whixh were prefabricated and assembled in the ground. It is conspicuous that folded steel sheets were placed behind two triangles - one looking up, one looking down, which can also be found at the sides of the building.

Revealing the leitmotiv 4UBSUJOH GSPN T VOUJM IJT EFBUI Le Corbusier designed numerous exhibition pavilions. It is intriguing to notice that all of them, albeit their varying contexts, have a set of common features. His conception of temporary exhibition space can be defined as a single search guided by the dialogue between architecture and audience. An anecdote related to the complaints by La Roche of his house in Paris gives an early example of this tension: “I commissioned from you a ‘frame for my collection’. You provided me with a ‘poem of walls’. Which of us most UP CMBNFw 8FCFS .PPT PODF noted that Le Corbusier “left no stone unturned in order to emphasize his anti-utilitarian position within ModernJTNw WPO .PPT Q The problem of representational architecture naturally arises in the architecture of representation. His exhibition spaces, therefore, reflects a shared conception and can be evaluated in four groups. The first group, the early designs, brings architecture and the exhibited object together, transforming architecture into the representation.

The second group, Liege and Port Maillot pavilions, represents a transition from the billboard-like lightness to the floating umbrella. The structure is separated from the exhibition creating a semiopen, boundless space underneath. The structure acts as a sunshade in the

air, definitely apart from the exhibition masses. It is not an integral part of it, such that it floats in the air even without touching it. The third group of exhibition spaces includes the temporary exhibition Pavilions of Chandigarh, Tokyo, Fort-Lamy, Erlenbach and Paris. Among all parts of the ideal cultural center, the umbrella structure becomes a formally defined shell construction with a more self-confident identity and relation to the ground. The distance remains, however, between the roof and exhibition space and the semi-open and extendable exhibition area does not cease to exist immediately. The fluid character of the exhibition spaces was obvious in cases whenever they were placed next to a museum as part of the cultural complexes, providing the necessary rigidity for permanent exhibitions. The exception is Philips Pavilion, which represents a reunion of architecture and representation and where architecture has its own geometric language in contrast to the less eye catching functional constructions of the first pavilions. The last group also includes the pavilions the unbuilt Palais Ahrenberg and another house/ gallery, the Heidi Weber Pavilion, being the mature final examples of the development. The well-defined shell remains without any change, so does the independent ramp, but the exhibition spaces drop off their nomadic character. The Heidi Weber Pavilion expresses a balanced relationship between independent roof and prismatic exhibition space, so that it acquires their own architectural agenda. While the development shows a variety of directions, certain common features can clearly be traced. Firstly, the free plan of the exhibition area and the ramps imply that the circulation was of major importance. Rather than a total and empty space, Le Corbusier designed the circulation scheme, even it was never an imposing orientation. On the contrary, he tried creating ambiguous boundaries, telescopic divisions and dramatic ramps. “It was not merely the ramp as such that we discovered here but its special formation as a path which is open to the outside permitting the visitor to look back to whence he has just comeâ€?Â

(Le $PSCVTJFS BOE 1JFSSF +FBOOFSFU B ćF SBNQT DSFBUF B UISFF EJNFOsional dramatic effect and adds a duration aspect to the visitor’s perspective. This leads us to the second feature, the nomadic character of pavilions, as explicitly seen in the construction techniques and the semi-open exhibition areas. Le Corbusier strictly emphasized the temporary character of his pavilions, even for Heidi Weber pavilion, which was never meant to be a temporary structure. The demountable steel constructions, small structures around the walkways, free installation of partition wall created the nomadic impression in various examples. A third and a most important feature can be defined as a proper Leitmotif /FJUIFS TUSJDUMZ functional, nor absolutely formalistic, the triangles continued to pop up in each and every pavilion. Although the triangles on the facades and roofs have different forms, they can be detected like a signature for each exhibition design. As it was pointed out, the three atypical museum designs of Le Corbusier have their triangular elevations themselves. *O T BOE T UIF MFJUNPUJW mainly emerges as a structural soluUJPO BT UIF CVUUFSĘZ SPPG PG /FTUMĂ? 1Bvilion or the braced pylons of Temps Nouveau. Mundaneum’s pyramid and the City and State Museum’s terraced structures were functional solutions. Still, they all are very powerfully expressed. Le Corbusier abandoned the obvious pyramid but kept the triangles at his facades in an alternating formation. The wave-like umbrellas of de L’Eau Pavilion can be considered as a clue, as the constant widening and narrowing of the roof imply a horizontal flow. Another clue and the most formalist one of all can be found in Chandigarh’s Knowledge Museum. It simply indicates a beginning and an ending on a facade decorated by repetitive brise-soleils. It refers to temporariness by being continuous like a wave, yet it is obvious where it starts and finishes. In house of Heidi Weber, the double

reverse pediments pinpoint the final strokes of the leitmotiv’s evolution. They create a balanced composition between triangular pediments and the static prism on the ground.

Conclusion It can be argued that Le Corbusier’s exhibition pavilions and some of his museums use the reverse triangles as a leitmotiv. The temporary exhibition space is represented by the dynamic expression by their wave-like up and down movement. The evolution of the pavilions into a representation of Le Corbusier’s architecture assisted the emergence of the roof as an independent element. Thus an ideal solution was developed comprising a dynamic effect and a formalist geometry at the same time, which is not only supported but also well hidden by the structural necessities. As Moos once underlined “the assumption that an elementary geometry is inherent in the nature of mechanical design, and that ‘the wholesome spirit of the engineer’ will quite automatically result in forms that possess the objective, immutable charBDUFS PG DMBTTJD CFBVUZw WPO .PPT Le Corbusier’s play with the forms has always been controversial, to say the least. He extensively used formal comQPTJUJPOT PO IPVTF GBDBEFT JO T designed radical reconstruction urban plans, famously introduced a sculptural latitude of BĂŠton brut after the Second World War or curiously practiced his meditation on proportions, the Modulor theory, on many occasions. Sometimes implicitly formalist, sometimes cavalierly lyrical, his architectural attiude never only fed from the functionalist aesthetics of the industrial age. He insisted in using highly individualized devices such as pilotis, architectural promenade or reverse triangular roofs.

Only Mies van der Rohe among major figures of modernism was as consistant as Corbusier to apply trademark forms, but he never went towards an expressionist interpretation. Alvar Aalto or Hans Scharoun may have followed him in his poetic manners but they tried to avoid any kind formalism like most of their contemporaries. As Le Corbuiser’s architecture does not only contain the functional and scientific standardization of forms but also the subjectification of them by the creative ego of the architect. It is no coincidence that Le Corbusier instantly took the opportunity given by the exhibition spaces to manifest his ideas and created a leitmotiv as part of his search for a synthesis of his representational and functional perspectives of archicture. Self-expression has always been one of the idiosynchratic aspects of Le Corbusier’s persona. Le Corbusier was used to set up rules to promote his vision. It is a leitmotiv, not a rule, which is standing in the center of a exhibition pavilion template as a result of a long search. It can be argued that his pavilions are all interconnected as Le Corbusier was looking for a synthesis of symbolism and the needs of nomadic structures for wide spans. The expressionist use of triangles as a leitmotiv combines representational aspects of architectural design with the functional aspets. On the one hand the leitmotiv can be read as an archaic reference or as a symbol of dynamic circulation, on the other hand it is a functional solution and a structural convenience. While the leitmotiv of reverse-triangle in pavilions gave the opportunity to knead the forms beyond their function, the border between representation and function are quite complex in an exhibition space as an exhibition space itself do have the function of representation. The leitmotiv represents the nomadic character, the anti-hierarchical installation, free circulation, the separation of container and contained, which are the functional aspects of the pavilion template defining his ideal exhibition space. What transforms the functional agenda into the representational form is Le Corbusier’s desire to highlight them to the user and render them as

specialities of the visitor’s experience. They can be read in the spaces as a text through the representational character of the forms. Le Corbusier’s pavilion leitmotiv is respresentional of its functional raison d’etre, which means it simply represents its own function. The function is not only functioning but it also becomes evident to that extent that the particular function separates the building from other kinds of exhibition spaces. It can be said that the representational character of Le Corbusier pavilion has a deep connection to its idiosynchratic function agenda. While the rationalist composition as a reference to antiquity in disguise and the representational aspect of architecture find their place in the leitmotiv of reverse triangles, the standardized modern techniques and the basic roofing function are also part of the same leitmotiv. It is a synthesis to exemplify Le Corbusier’s contradictary inclanations. As a conclusion, it can be said that the leitmotivs of the exhibition pavilions manifests the heterogeneous character of Le Corbusier’s modernism.
