    Batna'nın Kapalı Sitelerinde Var Olan Yaşam Dinamiklerini Açığa Çıkarmak
    (2025) Fellahi, Nadjla; Erten, Erdem
    Gated Communities (GC'ler) dünya genelinde birçok bölgede ortaya çıkan küresel bir eğilim haline gelmiştir. Cezayir'de ilk olarak 1980'lerde uygulamaya konan neoliberal politikalar ve özelleştirme süreci sonrasında, başta Cezayir ve Annaba gibi büyük şehirlerde görülmeye başlamıştır. Yıllar içinde bu eğilim, 2010 civarında GC'lerin ortaya çıkmaya başladığı Batna gibi diğer şehirlere de yayılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Bat-na'daki bu yeni kapalı konut tipolojisine odaklanmakta ve bu konuyu ele alan ilk araştırma olarak, çok boyutlu bir çözümleme sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. GC'lerin ortaya çıkışının yapısal ve öznel nedenlerini, tasarım tercihlerinin ardındaki motivasyonları ve bu konutların nasıl pazarlanıp tanıtıldığını incelemektedir. Ayrıca, bu topluluklardaki sa-kinlerin sosyal yapısını, iç mekân düzenlemelerini ve bu düzenlemelerin ardındaki man-tığı, hem kullanıcıların hem de kullanıcı olmayanların bakış açılarıyla birlikte analiz et-mektedir. Araştırma, Batna'da seçilen beş örnek olay üzerinden saha gözlemleri, fotoğraflar ve kent yetkilileri, mimarlar, özel geliştiriciler, sakinler ve dış kullanıcılarla yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelere dayanmaktadır. Ayrıca belge analizi ve çevrim içi içerikler gibi ikincil veriler de kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, Batna'daki GC'lerin ortaya çıkışının internet ve medya aracılığıyla küreselleşme, özelleştirme gibi neoliberal reform-lar, konut düzenlemeleri, devlet konut politikaları, tüketim kültürü ve güvenlik gibi yapısal ve öznel faktörlerin bir kombinasyonu ile şekillendiğini göstermektedir. Her ne kadar GC'ler küresel ölçekte ayrıcalıklı konut tipleri olarak pazarlansa da, Batna'daki örnekler büyük ölçüde yerel itibar üzerinden varlık göstermektedir. Planlar, geleneksel devlet konutlarının mekânsal mantığını ve içeriğini yansıtıyor. Çalışma ayrıca, topluluklar arasındaki güçlü aile ve sosyal bağları ve geleneksel mekânsal düzenlemeleri de ortaya koyuyor.

    Residual Spaces of the Informal Empire: Rereading Smyrna as an Incomplete Colonial Project
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Sheridan, Işılay Tiarnagh; Erten, Erdem
    Smyrna (İzmir) has always been a busy and privileged trade node with its fertile Western Anatolian hinterland and naturally-protected harbour. During the 19th century, however, the city experienced an unprecedented trade boom and urban expansion mainly due to foreign industrial initiatives, modernisation projects, and its increasing importance in Mediterranean trade. Its port surpassed the size of Constantinople's port, the Ottoman capital city, and Smyrna became an arena of commercial competition, especially attracting Britain and France. As the leading imperial power and world economic centre of the 19th century, Britain was the first to establish railways connecting Smyrna's harbour to the hinterland as a modernisation project. British entrepreneurs bought 1/3 of Western Anatolian territory and ultimately controlled half of the port's trade volume. Although the economic history of this shift towards semi-colonisation has interested many scholars, how its clandestine colonial makeup left traces on the city remains to be studied. Regarding post-industrial revolution port city development, Smyrna was an odd example since after the Tanzimat Reforms', the modernisation strategies of different foreign investors, including the British, left a fragmented assemblage of urban spaces behind. The strange likeness of this assemblage to certain British colonial port cities rather than to port city models is worth exploring as new archival evidence shows that Smyrna was an incomplete imperial project formed in 'British imagination'. This thesis aims to reveal how this informal empire embedded in modernisation acts was actualised, through morphological analysis combined with memoires, diaries and correspondances as the founding narratives of residual semi-colonial urban space.

    Site as a Generative Force To Architectural Theory
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Bingöl, Ebru; Erten, Erdem
    In recent architecture literature, the debate on context seems to have given way to a discussion that sees “site” as a strong conceptual alternative to “context.” One can trace this development back to the 1940s when the debate on context gradually emerged in response to rebuild war-torn European cities. The recent discussions on site, preserve important fragments of the debate on context that emerged after World War II, flourished in 1960s and arguably disappeared after the 1980s. The discussion on “site” was also enriched by the expansion of the notion of landscape by a ground-breaking shift in landscape architecture after the1980s, as a result of poststructuralist questioning of binary oppositions, like urban versus rural, or nature versus culture. By the 1980s, the extended notion of landscape which included the natural as cultural construct, led to the introduction of a broad range of formulations, such as the temporal, multiscalar, performative, adaptive and relational understandings of site. These developments indicate a recent convergence between architecture and landscape architecture with respect to urbanism. This study is a critical investigation into why “site” became an important target in the late 20th and the early 21st century for architecture and landscape architecture by putting that this did not randomly emerge. The thesis also reflects on the recent formulations of site might provide a rich territory for speculation on the relationship between site, architecture and landscape architecture both with reference to theory and pedagogy.

    Advertising Media and Housing Production: Gated Communities of İstanbul in the Post-2000s
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2009) Kan Ülkü, Gözde; Erten, Erdem
    In this dissertation I investigate how the marketing strategies of the developing consumer society has infiltrated the marketing of high end housing in Istanbul as a corollary development of globalization. I aim to analyze marketing strategies as active agents that shape the design of these newly emerging housing developments based on the theme of .an ideal life style. through advertising media in the form of TV commercials, newspaper ads, publicity brochures etc.This study also focuses on the representation and dissemination of this elusive .ideal. to the public via the advertising campaigns of these housing settlements. Therefore the cases that the study is based on concentrates on the Turkish architectural scene after 1990 when consumer culture.s most significant impacts on architectural products are observed. The study observes that the marketing of this new type of suburbanization in Turkey is concomitant with the rise of a new middle class that has a high purchasing power. Therefore I analyse the life style characteristics of architectural projects that provide for this class, according to Bourdieu.s conceptualization of life styles, and aim to uncover how this conceptualization reflects on the marketing of high-end housing.In this regard, the concept of .distinction. will be used as key theoretical tool to analyse the qualities of environments proposed in the selected cases. The relation between the advertising strategies of a .distinct life style. and its legitimization process which directly affect the .fabrication. of these specialized housing settlements will remain at the core of my thesis problem.
