AGENDA

Revenge-ist Architecture of the AKP Period / Ali Uzay Peker

Architecture, being one of the tools for demonstrating the presence and power of the government, assumes a new identity with each new administration that comes to power. The author evaluating on the effects of 13 years of AKP government to the city and architecture of the country, explains the change through the concept of “revenge-ism”. He further states that the cities that are regarded as “Westernised” at the beginning of the 20th century, are re-conquered with a “conservative” aim.

The author reveals Egli’s ideas in the planning of the site, whose borders and functions have become a controversial issue today. In the urban plans proposed by the architect in early 1930s, the site was proposed to act as a “public park”, which according to the author, can be considered as an open-air school, for cultivating the young generations, citizens and villagers.

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

Discussion on Ethics and Architecture: Addressing the “State and Progress” of Profession / Arif Şentek

The author focusing on the current debates, prefers to discuss the issue through the use of basic terminology, rather than discussing it in the light of abstract notions, and presents his evaluations by referring to “state & progress”, which is a name once given to the evaluation of “ethics” in the report cards given to students in the elementary school.

FROM RURAL / CITY

Muratlı: A Republican Village / Zeynep Eres

Located 30km north of Tekirdağ, Muratlı was a little village in the Ottoman era, however with the arrival of the railway at the northern part of the village in the last quarter of the 19th century, it has developed to become one of the largest exemplar villages of the Thrace region in the Republican period. Today the village has become a central district. The author analyses the village, which is one of the exemplar realisations of the “ideal Republican village”.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

A New Generation Summer House: Mi’Costa / Şebnem Yücel

While moving our urban lives to summer houses rapidly, we fuel an “unplanned” urban development in our coastal regions, getting them filled with architectural work lacking any quality but only realised in order to meet the demand. The author analysing Mi’Costa building, one of the noteworthy architectural examples and 2014 National Architecture Awards nominee in “Building Category”, draws attention to the plain lines and modern architectural language of the building as its characteristic differing the design from its surroundings.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

“Tragedy of Listening”: Prometheus Concert Hall / Devrim Işıkkaya

Can architectural design, when it comes to the execution of performance, reshape the network of relationships that have been accepted or already ongoing for years? The author, focusing on the Prometheus Concert Hall, designed in the scope of 1983 Venice Biennale, evaluates how the project by reversing the conventional plan-programme organisation scheme in a revolutionary manner, offers a unique experience to its visitors, by carrying the performer-audience interaction to another level.

CONSERVATION – REVITALISATION

Physical, Social and Cultural Effects of Architectural Conservation Practices: İzmir Church of Hagia Voukolos / Hümeyra Birol Akkurt

The discipline of conservation, rather than dealing with the “revival” of individual buildings, calls for a holistic approach that requires interdisciplinary work. The author, while analysing the conservation work of Church of Hagia Voukolos in İzmir, discusses whether the physical endurance of the building, which has a significant place in the urban memory, is sufficient for the sustainability of the identity of place and cultural values, or not.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PERIOD

A Modern Architectural Heritage in İzmir: Yamanlar Sanatorium / N. Ebru Karabağ Aydeniz, Begüm Erdoğmuş Manav

Sanatorium buildings, once heavily used, are now completely abandoned with the change of treatment methods. This building typology, besides having a place in collective memory, bears the traces of a period, yet has remained as a subject left unstudied and didn't produce enough research. The authors evaluating on Yamanlar Sanatorium, a small-scaled example of rationalist-purist approach, draw attention to the fact that this building is one of the earliest examples of international style in İzmir. They also state the need to take necessary actions in bringing the site back to urban life.

A Story of Construction and Destruction: Ankara Sports and Exhibition Hall (1957-1958) / Hilal Tuğba Örmecioğlu

The year was 1974. Following the competition for the new stadium of Ankara the project of the winning team, proposing the building of a vault, was decided to be built out of concrete due to economic conditions of the era. However the construction of the reinforced concrete shell, as a “new” idea not practiced in Turkey as yet, had the opportunity to present itself and its technology within a short period like nine months. The author addressing the life cycle of the building draws attention to the question and prejudices raised upon its demolition.
