    Soylulaştırmanın Evrimi: Yerel Bir Olgudan Küresel Bir Kentsel Stratejiye
    (2025) Köroğlu, Sinem Nermin Karakundak; Erten, Erdem
    Bu tez, soylulaştırma kavramının mimarlık ve planlama söylemi içindeki evrilen kavramsallaştırmasını ve bu kavramsal çerçevenin Türkiye'deki soylulaştırma çalışmalarında nasıl tanımlandığını, uyarlandığını ve işlevsel hâle geldiğini incelemektedir. Soylulaştırma, ilk olarak 1960'larda Londra'da yerel bir kentsel olgu olarak ortaya çıkmış olsa da, zamanla disiplinler ve coğrafyalar arasında çok boyutlu ve tartışmalı bir kavrama dönüşerek önemli bir kuramsal genişleme kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, bu dönüşümü anlamak, kavramın Türkiye'ye nasıl aktarıldığını incelemek ve farklı yapısal ve siyasal koşullar altında nasıl yeniden yorumlandığını eleştirel biçimde değerlendirmektir. Nitel, yoruma dayalı ve metin merkezli bir yöntem benimseyen araştırma, soylulaştırma üzerine kapsamlı bir literatür analizi gerçekleştirmekte; bu analizde özellikle Türk akademik yazınına kısmi bir odak sunulmaktadır. Kavramın anlamındaki değişim — aşağıdan yukarıya ve sınıfa dayalı bir kentsel dönüşüm sürecinden, yukarıdan aşağıya uygulanan, politika odaklı yeniden geliştirme süreçlerine yönelmesi — araştırmanın merkezinde yer almaktadır. Türkiye bağlamında soylulaştırma kavramının dönüşümünde mimari müdahalelerin, neoliberal yönetişim biçimlerinin ve söylemsel stratejilerin rolüne özel bir önem verilmektedir. Bulgular, soylulaştırmanın sabit ya da evrensel olarak uygulanabilir bir kuramsal çerçeveyle açıklanamayacağını, süreçlerinin bağlamsal olarak farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Türkiye'de, son yirmi yılda bir kalkınma stratejisi olarak soylulaştırma; yasal reformlar, politika araçları ve devlet-sermaye ittifakları yoluyla giderek kurumsallaşmıştır. Bu çerçevede tez, soylulaştırmanın yalnızca mekânsal ya da toplumsal bir sonuç olarak ele alınamayacağını, aksine değişen kavramsal çerçeveler aracılığıyla inşa edilen ve devlet gücü ile küresel sermayenin eşgüdümlü işleyişi sayesinde mümkün kılınan siyasal olarak yapılandırılmış bir süreç olduğunu ileri sürmektedir.

    Any Magazine (1993-2000) and the Post-Critical Transition in Architectural Theory
    (2023) Sökülmez, Buse Ezgi; Erten, Erdem
    This thesis examines the influence of ANY (Architecture New York) Magazine (1993-2000) in shaping the debates in architectural theory between critical and postcritical perspectives in the 1990s and 2000s. Dissecting ANY's contributors, its interaction with the construction and culture industries, its thematic and visual narratives, and its coverage, the research aims to reveal how the periodical mediated a significant transition in architectural theory. This transition involved a move away from a purely critical approach rooted in Continental theories characterized by ideological and post-structuralist critique towards a more practical, pragmatic, and solution-oriented architectural theory. The critical-to-post-critical transition was influenced by global technological, economic, and environmental changes, which prompted a reorientation of architectural theory towards real-world applications and pragmatic solutions. In analyzing ANY's influence in this transition through its contributors, its interaction with the construction and culture industries, its thematic and visual narratives, and its coverage, the research sheds light on the broader post-critical transition in architectural theory in the 1990s and the 2000s. Keywords: ANY Magazine, Post-Critical Architectural Theory, 1990s Architectural History and Theory, Critical-to-Post-Critical Transition, Architectural Media

    From Space To Junkspace: Four Episodes Of/In Architectural Theory
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Yalçın, Zeynep Özge; Erten, Erdem
    This thesis focuses on four concepts in architectural theory; space, place, nonplace, and junkspace, and points to understanding possible connections and relationships between these concepts. It aims to investigate how these relationships are established and possible causes in architectural history which might have led to their emergence and use by tracing the evolution of these concepts through a literature review. The discussion will be framed around episodes of debate on the concepts regarding the history of architectural theory. Conceptualized as a force field generated by the dynamism of bodily movement, the understanding of space by empathy theory profoundly influenced modern architecture. Modern architecture’s preoccupation with space was criticized with recourse to the concept of place. Anticipating postmodernist sensitivity place challenged the dominance of space. However, the focus on place, in opposition to space, was also criticized for the tendency to create scenographic effects driven by commercial interest. The “production” of “places” was followed by the definition of two important concepts: “non-place” by Augé and “junkspace” by Koolhaas. By reading the debates around these four concepts as episodes of/in architectural theory, I not only aim to see the relations between these concepts but also understand how the impact of globalization is visible regarding “non-place” and “junkspace.”

    Architecture, Community and the Aga Khan Award for Architecture
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Keser, Elif; Erten, Erdem; Yücel, Şebnem
    This thesis aims to understand/explore how architecture can assume social responsibility and offer solutions to social problems by focusing on projects awarded by the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA). Unlike many major architecture awards, the AKAA prioritizes social contribution and the projects selected by the award features architects taking social roles other than simply being the designer. While examining the social responsibility of architecture, the thesis explains the alternative roles that the architect can take on regarding certain themes. The first chapter investigates the history of "community-oriented architecture" and its examples in the literature. The second chapter focuses on the projects awarded by the AKAA with reference to the contributions of architecture to social development. From the first award period to the last (1980-2019), 124 projects were examined and 8 examples suitable to the scope of the thesis were selected. When selecting these examples, three main themes were determined (using parameters such as economic resources, relations with local government, organization, community education, etc.): "Participatory Architecture", "Urban Upgrading and Community Development", "Historical Restoration and Socio-Economic Revival". Under these themes, subheadings were created according to the alternative social role assumed by the architect. The extensive archive of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture was used for the necessary documents such as detailed information about the projects, technical reports, jury reports.

    Portrait of an Architect From İzmir: Erbil Coşkuner's Early Works
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Temelli, Feyza; Erten, Erdem
    This thesis aims to examine the work of, Erbil Coşkuner, one of the prominent names of modern Turkish architecture in İzmir. The thesis adopts a chronological layout in order to contextualize Coşkuner's career against the historical background that influenced him. The text is divided into three sections to periodize his career in order to shed light on the formative influences behind Coşkuner's career as an architect, as well as his intellectual development. The main aim of the thesis is not to position Erbil Coşkuner as a "leading actor" of İzmir and Turkey's architectural scene and to construct a hagiographic narrative, but rather to understand his career within a broader historical framework. The thesis is partially based on a series of open-ended interviews held with Coşkuner in person, and recorded with his consent. The interviews laid the groundwork for further research into Coşkuner's personal archives as well as publications based on his work. The primary material collected after the archival research and the interviews which helped construct a micro-history of the architect's career was then evaluated against histories of modern Turkish architecture. The thesis thus aims to question as well as contribute to this framework through the lens of Coşkuner's career.
