Article Citation - WoS: 7Review of Literature for the Concept of Post-Disaster Housing in Turkey(Gazi University, 2008) Baradan, BernaThere have been implementations of post-disaster housing even in historical ages and mentioned in studies concerning a specific period in time in which the disaster occurred in Turkey. With a brief overview of such history of post-disaster housing, the studies were reviewed based on the relationship between approaches and time periods concerning the architectural literature of post-disaster housing in Turkey between 1977 and 2005. There are mainly two types of architectural studies about this concept; observations and analyses about the general policy in Turkey, and case specific studies. These two types of studies can also classified within their writing style as well; descriptive style and analytical style of writing is used for a basis for the comparison of approaches used in the studies. The term ‘architectural literature’ used in this article were used for the works published by the architects and/or studies published in architectural magazines. From this analysis, it could be concluded that the architectural society in Turkey changed its point of view to more humanistic solutions in post-disaster housing after the 1999 Marmara Earthquake.Article Citation - WoS: 5Piranesi Between Classical and Sublime(Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, 2007) Ek, Fatma İpek; Şengel, DenizOn sekizinci yüzyılda, estetik biliminin olduğu kadar mimarlık tarihinin de doğuşu bağlamında ivme kazanan tartışmalar, mimarlık disiplinini doğal olarak etkilemişti. Estetik tartışmaların temeli mimarilerin tarihsel köken tartışmalarına bağlanıyor ve ‘güzel’ ile ‘yüce’ olmak üzere iki etki üzerine odaklanıyordu: ‘Güzel’i temsil ettiği düşünülen Yunan tarzı, ‘yüce’yle özdeşleştirilen Roma ve Mısır tarzlarının karşısına yerleştirilmekteydi. Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) gibi mimar ve düşünürlerin görsel ve yazınsal çalışmalarında söz konusu estetik ve tarihsel savlar takip edilebiliyordu. Piranesi, Roma mimarlık ve uygarlığının kökenini ‘güzel’ Yunan’a dayandıran Winckelmann gibi çağdaşlarının aksine, Roma mimarî estetiğinin ‘yüce’ unsurlar barındırdığını, dolayısıyla Mısır medeniyetinden türediğini savunuyordu. Tüm çizimlerinde antik Roma’nın ‘yüce’ mimarisini resmeden Piranesi, böylece estetik tartışmaların ‘yüce’ cephesinde yerini alıyordu.On sekizinci yüzyılın iki önemli filozofu Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) ile Edmund Burke (1729-1797) estetiğin bileşenleri ‘güzel’ ve ‘yüce’ üzerine çalışmalarıyla tartışmaları hızlandırmıştı. Bu iki kavram on sekizinci yüzyıl felsefe ve tasarım kuramlarını aynı ölçüde etkilemekle birlikte, makale temel olarak Kant ile Burke’ün ‘yüce’ tanımları üzerinden Piranesi’nin görsel ve metinsel çalışmalarının karşılaştırmalı okumasını yapmaktadır. Kant ve Burke’ün ‘yüce’ açıklamalarında küçük ayrılıklar görülmekle birlikte ikisi de temelde aynı şeyi söylemişlerdir. Özellikle Kant’ın Güzellik ve Yücelik Duygusu Üzerine Gözlemler (1764) ve Burke’ün Yücelik ve Güzellik Fikirlerimizin Kaynağı Hakkında Felsefî bir Araştırma (1757) başlıklı çalışmalarındaki ifadeler Piranesi’nin çizimlerinde takip edilebilmektedir. Piranesi, Kant’ın ve Burke’ün anlattığı ‘yüce’yi mimarî çizim diliyle aktarmıştı. Piranesi, on sekizinci yüzyıla egemen olan ‘yüce’ etkiyi Venedikli bir mimarın gözüyle yeniden yorumluyordu.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Mısır, Etrüsk, Roma: Piranesi ve Bir On Sekizinci Yüzyıl Tartışması(Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, 2008) Ek, Fatma İpek; Şengel, DenizOne crucial debate that resonated in eighteenth-century Europe concerned the origins of European architecture whose effects continue to inform present-day notions of the same. Numerous important eighteenth-century works were produced in the context of emergence of the discipline of architectural history. In this architectural, historical, and archaeological framework, Venetian architect and scholar Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720- 1778) played an important role by his visual and literary works as well as original approach to history. Piranesi developed a history of architecture that was not based on the East/West division and the separation of continents. In opposition to writers like Winckelmann who rooted the origin of Roman architecture in the Greek, he claimed that Roman architecture derived from the Etruscan which found its roots in Egypt. Discussion of roots depended on the eighteenth century on aesthetical theory interpreting Grecian architecture as ‘beautiful’ and Roman -thus Egyptian- as ‘sublime’. It was in this lively intellectual environment that Piranesi searched the origins of Roman -and thus the whole Europeanarchitecture. His works were, however, misinterpreted as being Orientalist by contemporary scholars following Said.Article Modern ve Skolastik: Ruskin'in İncelenmemiş Bir Önsözü(Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, 2006) Şengel, DenizIn the brief Preface to the second edition of The Seven Lamps of Architecture published in 1855, John Ruskin identified four kinds of admiration viewers might feel regarding an architectural work: Sentimental Admiration, Proud Admiration, Workmanly Admiration, Artistical or Rational Admiration. Unexplored by Ruskin critics, the Preface poses significant interpretive problems: neither the Preface nor the elaboration of the fourfold typology contained in it bears reference to the content of The Seven Lamps which had first appeared in 1849. The key lies in the Preface's explicit and implicit references to The Stones of Venice which Ruskin had published in 1853 and to the latter work's all-important middle chapter entitled "The Nature of Gothic." Read in conjunction with "The Nature of Gothic," the 1855 Preface emerges as a belated gloss to The Stones, witnessed above all in the coalescence of the complementary notions of production and reading of the Gothic in both articles. "The Nature of Gothic" further offers the clue to the source of the fourfold typology and to Ruskin's employment of the term admiration by identifying the reading of architectural works with textual reading, viz. the reading of Gothic cathedrals with the reading of epic poetry. The representation of Gothic cathedrals and the reference to Dante offer certain proof that Ruskin found the prototype of the fourfold typology and admiration in the Scholastic elaboration on the four levels of Biblical exegesis and on admiratio as, again, a mode of reading the Bible and viewing religious painting. In fact, Ruskin's treatment of the fourfold typology and admiration follows as it were in verbatim fashion the description of Dante's adaptation of the Biblical modes to the reading of his Divine Comedy in the "Epistle to Can Grande" as well as Dante's sources in Aristotle, Aquinas, and Bonaventure. Ruskin's radical reduction, found much puzzling by critics today, of the value of architecture to the value of the painting and sculpture contained in an edifice underscores the medieval conception of admiratio that had particularly flourished in the era of Gothic architecture. Not only will these findings compel us further to revise our notion of Ruskin's stance toward the Evangelical Protestantism of his day as well as add to the demonstration of the author's commitment to Gothic architecture, but they equally call for re-investigating Ruskin as a major force in the assimilation of architecture into the then-burgeoning discipline of art history.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Kırılan Temsiliyet : Libeskind'de Bellek,tarih ve Mimarlık(Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, 2009) Maden, Feray; Şengel, DenizMimarisini ‘yokluk,’ ‘yitirilmişlik’ ve ‘bellek’ kavramları üzerinden çizgiler, çarpıtılmış açılar, kesişen geometriler ve boşluklar etrafında kurgulayan Daniel Libeskind, çok disiplinli mimarisi ve radikal yaklaşımları ile kuşkusuz mimarlık kuram ve pratiğini etkileyen ustaların başında gelmektedir (1). Bellek ve tarihin ‘izleri’ üzerinde şekillenen projeleri ve çoğunlukla da müze yapıları ile karşımıza çıkan Libeskind, Rönesanstan bu yana süregelen mimarlıkta temsiliyet sorunsalı, mimarî temsil ve temsilin mimarlığı gibi tartışmalara, sergilediği aykırı mimari ile yeni bir yön kazandırmaktadır. Makalenin hedefi, Libeskind’in proje ve çizimleri üzerinden, mimarın tarihi yorumlaması çerçevesinde temsiliyet sorununu irdelemektir. Bu irdeleme, mimarlık ile tarih arasında kurulan ilişki bakımından birbirinden farklılaşan modern ve postmodern dönemler arasında kendisine yeni bir konum bulan Libeskind’in tarih anlayışını bir kez daha gözden geçirerek yorumlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Yazı ayrıca Libeskind mimarisinin, mimarlığın geleneksel temsillerinden farklılaşarak disiplinler arası bir yaklaşımla diğer alanlarla kurduğu ilişkiyi sorgulamayı da hedeflemektedir.Conference Object Documentation of a Vernacular House With Close-Range Digital Photogrammetry(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2007) Akbaylar, İpek; Turan, MineThis study aims to present a combined documentation method that can be easily applied on the built vernacular heritage prior to establishment of appropriate conservation methodology and treatment strategy. It takes into consideration the vernacular house type of Alaçati, Izmir, Turkey and defines the appropriate techniques to be used in the conservation aimed analytic recording process. The prismatic house masses at human scale, with plain façade orders and orthogonal plan layouts at this settlement can be recorded fast and accurately with close-range digital photogrammetry. The concepts of mapping should be utilized for the representation of analtic data. Within this frame, a 19th century house located in the urban conservation site of Alaçati is to be presented as the case study. © 2007 International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.

Yüzyıl İzmir Konutu: Biçimsel ve Kavramsal Ortaklıklar(Middle East Technical University, 2009) Çıkış, ŞenizDünyanın değişik coğrafyalarında, Batı’yla eş zamanlı ve Batı’daki gibi tarihin farklı anlarına yayılmış, birbirinden farklı modernleşme biçimlerinin var olabileceğini bugün artık hepimiz biliyoruz (1). Biçimsel kategorilerle algılamayı çoktan bırakmış olmamıza karşın modern mimarlığın yapılı çevreye uyarlamaları konusunda çok büyük ilerlemeler sağladığımız söylenemez (Baydar, 2000). Özellikle yapılı çevrenin büyük bir bölümünü oluşturan ve modern mimarlık tartışmalarının odağında yer alan konut konusunda tarihsel ilerlemeci bir çerçevenin dışına çok az çalışmanın çıkabildiğini görüyoruz. Örneğin “alternatif” ya da “öteki” konut repertuarımız daha çok kadın çalışmaları, evsellik, kısmen de yöresellik alanlarıyla sınırlı kalmakta (2). Oysa elimizde, geniş bir coğrafyaya ve en az iki yüzyıllık bir geçmişe yayılmış, etnik köken, toplumsal sınıf ya da cinsiyet gruplarına ait ve yorumlanmayı bekleyen geniş bir yapı stoku mevcut. Bu stoku oluşturan yapı örüntülerinden biri de XIX. yüzyılda İzmir’de biçimlenen yeni bir konut türü. Makalede, modern konutun temel niteliklerini taşıyan, ancak biçimsel olarak geleneksel konut türlerini çağrıştıran bir tür “öteki konut” olarak XIX. yüzyıl İzmir konutu ele alınmaktadır. Ondokuzuncu yüzyılın son çeyreğinde, İzmir’de karşımıza çıkan ve hızla tüm kente yayılan bu yeni konut örüntüsünün ilk örnekleri şehrin yeni semtlerinden Punta’da inşa edilmişti. Tıpkı Londra’daki sıra evler ya da Paris’teki apartman blokları gibi, kentin etnik, sınıfsal ve coğrafi her türlü katmanında hâkimiyet kuran bu konut türünün Anadolu ve belki de İmparatorluk sınırları içinde karşımıza çıkan ilk modern konut örnekleri arasında sayılması gerektiği düşüncesi, bu yazının ana tartışma eksenini oluşturmaktadır.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 15Thomas Sharp's Collaboration With H. De C. Hastings: the Formulation of Townscape as Urban Design Pedagogy(Routledge, 2009) Erten, ErdemThis paper focuses on the collaboration between the Architectural Review's (AR) chief editor and proprietor Hubert de Cronin Hastings (1902-1986) and planner Thomas Sharp (1901-1978) in the formulation and dissemination of Townscape as urban design pedagogy in the period between 1935 and 1955. This pedagogy proved effective in questioning the modernist planning attitude defined by the CIAM congresses and the prevalent Garden City mentality of the New Town proposals during post-World War II reconstruction efforts. Growing out of the shared interests and ideological affinities of the people engaged in British post-war reconstruction, 'Townscape' emerged as the result of a collective effort of those affiliated with Hastings for which Nikolaus Pevsner, Thomas Sharp and Gordon Cullen assumed major roles. If the Architectural Press has been the linchpin of this propagation by several books including those by Sharp and the articles published within AR, Sharp's role as a practicing planning consultant was influential, but more importantly institutional in disseminating 'Townscape'. The intermittent collaboration between Hastings and Sharp was a part of Hastings's unrelenting effort in conceptualizing a model of environmental intervention linked to ideals of cultural continuity. Townscape series remained a part of AR during Hastings's editorial reign for more than a quarter century, repeating the same message for different contextual cases as an instrument of teaching its readers how to perceive, visualize and intervene into the urban environment, as much as Townscape was an inseparable component of Sharp's career as planner, lecturer and author that established precedents for many planners to follow.Conference Object News From the Field: Visual Planning and Urbanism in the Mid-Twentieth Century Conference, Newcastle, Uk, 11-13 September 2007(Routledge, 2008) Erten, ErdemWhile the understanding of planning or urban design through their visual aspects alone would be reductive, attitudes to planning that focus on visual and three-dimensional modes remain understudied. To fill this gap, a conference entitled, ‘Visual planning and urbanism in the mid-twentieth century’, was held in Newcastle on 11–13 September 2007. The conference focused on ‘a strand of more practical urbanism, modernist in flavour but historically informed [which sought] to recover positive conceptions of the city and town after the perceived deprivations of the nineteenth century’. The topics discussed at the conference papers focused upon the modern period, during which planners sought to rethink cities radically – as evidenced by such interventions as the CIAM doctrine codified by the Athens Charter, Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City, the de-urbanist proposals contained within Frank Lloyd Wright’s Broadacre City, or interpretations of the linear city by Okhitovich and Milyutin – but also remained critical of drastic restructuring.Article Citation - Scopus: 4Postwar Visions of Apocalypse and Architectural Culture: the Architectural Review's Turn To Ecology(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Erten, ErdemIn the post-war era, Hubert de Cronin Hastings, the owner and editor (until 1971) of the English periodical The Architectural Review (AR), saw mankind facing its demise through its own scientific creation, the atom bomb. Hastings's editorial policies for the AR were very much influenced by the prospect of impending nuclear disaster during the Cold War and the decline of the British Empire in a world divided into the mandates of two superpowers. While the post-war period brought mistrust of the promise of emancipation through technology and science for those like Hastings, for others there was all the more reason to believe in these ideals with the dawning of a consumerist society and the development of pop culture. Within this cultural context AR aimed to develop and sustain an environmental culture as a holistic strategy in order to respond to planning problems. Targeting not only architects but local and national authorities as well as the 'man on the street', AR launched a series of campaigns that aimed to increase environmental awareness against post-war industrial transformation and the rise of consumerism. After the decline of the affluent consumer society of the 1960s and the devaluation of the pound in 1967, AR revamped its structure and contents and launched its 'Manplan' campaign, reacting against economic crisis and environmental decline. Taking issue with 'Non-Plan: An Experiment in Freedom' written by Reyner Banham, Peter Hall, Paul Barker and Cedric Price in New Society in 1969, 'Manplan' demanded centralization and comprehensive planning against decentralization and dispersal as a means of planning democracy. According to the editors, scientific progress enjoined to consumer culture and ever-expanding economic growth brought a ruthless exploitation of resources as well as destruction of the natural landscape. Before the journal itself went into economic crisis and Hastings left the editorial board, the first issue of the pioneering journal The Ecologist themed 'A Blueprint for Survival' was brought on the board's agenda by Hastings. In the light of global warming and increasing rate of environmental disasters today, the history of AR's editorial campaigns deserve renewed interest. This paper focuses on the neo-romantic ideology that underlay the post-war editorial policies of AR motivated by approaching environmental disaster within the continuum of a quarter century.
