Having its origins in the discipline of philosophy and the work of Jacques Derrida and emerging from the architectural concerns of the late twentieth century, deconstructivism has profoundly affected architectural theory and practice. In contrast with extant analyses of deconstructivist architecture in formalistic and stylistic terms, this thesis undertakes in Part I in three chapters a survey of the pre-history of deconstruction starting with the early twentieth-century avant-garde movements, and modernism and postmodernism, demonstrating debt and difference, and describes in detail the paths by which deconstructive philosophy was assimilated into architecture, including an extensive reading of Derridean concepts and their implementation in architectural discourse.In two chapters, Part II undertakes demonstration of how and why Libeskind.s architectural design derives from a deconstructivist position and proves his difference from architects like Eisenman, Hadid, Tschumi, Koolhaas, Himmelb(l)au, and Gehry who have been classified as deconstructivist. The thesis identifies Libeskind as the paradigmatic deconstructivist architect by criteria obtained through close reading of Three Lessons, Micromegas, Chamberworks, and the Jewish Museum Berlin. He is shown to differ from his contemporaries by a design approach that attaches fundamental importance to .memory. and .history. as well as a systematically developed alternative to conventional architectural drawing.Part III, in two chapters, offers an overview of Turkish architectural history in the twentieth century in order to identify some contemporary Turkish architects as test cases for descriptive classification as deconstructivist and undertakes analysis of five architects with reference to criteria established in the Libeskindean context.

In the architectural, historical, and archaeological context of the eighteenth century, Italian architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) played an important role. He posited crucial theses in the debates on the 'origins of architecture' and 'aesthetics'. He is numbered foremost among the founders of modern archaeology. But Piranesi was misinterpreted both in his day and posthumously. The vectors of approach yielding misinterpretation of Piranesi derived from two phenomena: one is the early nineteenth-century Romanticist reception of Piranesi.s character and work. The second is the mode of codification of architectural history. The former interpretation derived from Piranesi.s position on aesthetics, the latter from his argument concerning origins. Both of these served the identification of Piranesi as .unclassifiable.. He has thus been excluded from the 'story' of the progress of western architectural history.Piranesi, however, conceived of these two debates as one interrelated topic.Concerning origins, he developed a history of architecture not based on the East/West division, and supported this by the argument that Roman architecture depended on Etruscans which was rooted in Egypt. Secondly, he distinguished Roman from Grecian architecture identified with 'ingenious beauty'.Thus Piranesi placed Romans in another aesthetical category which the eighteenth century called 'the sublime'.Piranesi's perception caused him to be described as madman or idiosyncratic. However, most of these evaluations lack a stable historical base. Therefore, restoring Piranesi, his arguments, executed works and drawings to architectural history appear as a necessity.
Residential Satisfaction in High-Rise Buildings
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2005) Aydoğan, Ahu; Şengel, Deniz; Şengel, Deniz; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the residential satisfaction in highrise buildings. It presents the study of factors influencing residential satisfaction in highrise buildings of a sample of subjects in a chosen residential area in MavisÌ§ehir, Izmir.The context is provided by focusing on the determinants which affect residential satisfaction such as housing system, safety and security, privacy, social interaction and relationships (neighborhood), and physical qualities of building material. The methodological argument of the thesis is that, contrary to conventional conceptions, resident satisfaction cannot be measured on the basis of subjects. response to their flat, but must take into consideration the apartment building and environment. The research methodology centers around the administering of a survey questionnaire to 262 subjects randomly selected from 58 high-rise apartment buildings in MavisÌ§ehir. The number included 98 males and 164 females. The age range of the sample group was between 16 and 85. Questions included items concerning the flat, the building, and the environment. The findings indicated general satisfaction. Scientific research, however, ought not remain at this level of conclusion and concentrate more on the negative data, which indicate the design problems architects and planners ought to focus on for production of spaces and built environment for human satisfaction. Keywords: Residential Satisfaction, High-rise, Design, Skyscraper, MavisÌ§ehir.
