Since this main ‘hub’serves both local people and other people from outside,it shelters several functions in it ,namely,shopping,eating,seating and religious activities.

When the historic site examined in terms of material and general appearance,builsings seem very unkempt,scattered and alod.

Although it reflects the old urban history, it effects the general silhoutte of the site dramatically.

In general,heights of the buildings are not so attracting they are appr.5-6 story buidings.

In considering the scenario,firstly,considered the scenario of Ulus itself.

Ulus was once thehub of main activities for Ankara but now seems the need to be injected with a dose of life and vivacity and one way to do that is to create a large space where there will be a concentration of people who themselves will become the life of Ulus through this propo sal.For this very reason this scenario essentially focuses on attracting not just the people of Ulus but the people of Turkey.The aim isto make this ‘library of libraries’ a landmark so that it not only raises Ulus’s va lue as social and intellectual centre but Ankara and Turkey’s value.

This proposal is a massive concept integrating not just typical ‘library’ functions but other facilities as well.Therefore,this library is transformed from just ‘a knowledge box’ to a cultural institution proposing achange in the image of the library.It is strongly asserted that this library is a sp ace with stacks of books placed one over the other where people simp ly come to read but imagined it as an organism as it distributes knowle dge to the country.This proposal has comprehensive program incorpor ating a mainly a ‘book’ section and a ‘digital’ section is as follows: BOOK: %�� of the used area periodicals: ����m� main book part:�����m� languages:turkish,english,arabic,french,

Sinpas Eco-Town Project took form in contemplation of exposure of space potentials as much as possible instead of the way of running full slogan which the investor firm has used many times before. At the first step it was important that permanent place quality supports project. On account of this,ithasbeen refrained from emblematic approach that tends to be speculated and be consumed easily. Besides basic problems like view, light and climatic features optimum space use, open- close-semi open space measures, mass comp osition, construction methods and system choices the project has an architectural approach emphasizing the ecological sustainability orientations is intended. Therefore, the basic criterias of the project were green area maximization; development of social substructure and suitable intensity; protection of hab itat and recover of lost properties; increase in shaded area and use of green roof;building parkinglotsunder green cover as much as possible; articulation of the cladding with the heating-ventilationsystemconsuming energy in minimum; diminution the use of cooling system with the passive design acquisition; focusing on energy ithe use of refined water instead of line water in the landscape areas .

The relation between the two different types depending on the strategies of using the landscapeland the view;and the tension between each other one of them too loose and the otheronemore intensive-togeither with the evalution of the slope were the determining factors of the site plan.Therefore,horizontalblockwhose major life factors has been directed to the sea and lake in the south is placed in northeast part of the area as some kind of building on the border. This bloc -started wih the hotel construction close to mainentrance of the residential area and then turned into dwelling units– has gained light and permeable identity by the mass disintegration articulation. There has been small buildings in the area which will be used as wind shield by keeping the border of territory.

as we consider courtyard and gardens as the important elements with relation to figure ground relationship,empty roads in Pergamum also the constituents of the relationship.They have public values.

partially used buildings

unused buildings

remains

Pergamon is a multi-layered town which has survived over ���� years.The twon basically studied in two stages.The first stage included research and analyses and thesecond stage included design ideas for an utopia.In both stages,it was important to consider the great history of the area but not to forget the current situation of the town.Thoughout the research and analysesof Pergamon,we tried to figure the values and problems of the town and the research area and according to the existing condition,we suggested some other usages providing other facilities.

partially used buildings in the site are also designations of the previous usage of the houses.This was due to need for a place to stay for animals and now these barns are used as storages.They arelocated in basement floors of the buildingsand as the family living in the house gets bigger,these parts are also included as living spaces.

unused buildings can easily be differentiated with their neglected looks and with their shuttered windows and doors.As some buildingsare left empty and there are nobody living in them, in some buildings,there are people only using their houses in summer times.

most of the buildings in Pergamum has historic values destroyed by individual interventions done by users of the houses and in some buildings we see that the whole building is built onto historical remains.

Street facades are remarkable factors in Pergamum in terms of contribution to city fabric.But we see that main character contrubuting these facades not only their historic values but also modifications made by users as well.Painting the facades,material chagings,adding fenestrations and dividing the facade both damages this historical value of the site and breaks the unity of hesingle buildings.Reason of these damages can be thought as users livingstandards forcing them to make wrong interventionsandtheir being unaware this historical value and its potentials that can change their life standards as well as the fabric of Pergamum.

Node can be an agent for shaping the public character of square across RedHall and an agent to determine the levels of this gradual passage in public density.In this sense our aim worthisnode is giving it semi-permeable character.

In our three experience in Pergamon we spent our breaksdrinking tea around a local cafe on the corner of this node.Sitting on the side walks and observing the lives in streets connectedtothenode we realised that this square was capable of gathering people around.Our aim in this project was benefitting from this character of the node.Firstly,we thought this publicness of the nodehas the potential of being a meeting point for inhabitants and the people who come to visit Prgamon.Secondly,we decided thatthisspotcan be the location for a center where local people meet with experts who came for making researches and restorations. This meeting will occur such a scenerio:

Node can be seen also as an intersection of activities as well.

‘‘ a group of experts are going to study on and renovate the historically valued and

approved buildings.During this period they are going to stay in the town and work on the selected three buildings to restore.They are the pilot buildings that are chosen consciously.During this restoration period there are going to be workshop days which will include the local people to the project.The aim is to inform the locals about the history and the structures of the historically approved buildingsand to make experts have ideas on the lives of local residents.Thus people from different social parts of Turkey will be interacted.The locals will contribute not only during the workshop days but also will be included whenever they would like to volu nteer.During this restoration project the experts will need a space to work in. The chosen building was previously vacant and did not have any special feature.So it is modified according to use and also to the historical remains that it isadjacentto.

After the pilot period,this whole process will hopefully inspire the citizens of the Alp Street and later will spread to other streets.When the restoration project successfully ends,this building will serve as an exhibition hall, exposing the whole process.

eet The buildings with larger ground floor entrances and/or with two different ground floor entrances were used as partially commercial and partially residential at their time.The ground floors were for sales and storage purposes and the upper floors were residential.This building was not probably one of them and the large entrance door is probably the door of abarn.After the restoration,it is suggested to be fully commercial:the upper floors for production and the ground floor for sales and storage purposes.

Those parameters were function,scale,identity,user Profile and user identity.Before starting the design process, some program elements were decomposed and tried to make different combinations by making cross –referenced map.After deciding some unions, those double or triple elements were evaluated according to existing situation like Atakule or lower buildings.All of those external forces decided the Location of units in a context.Although those units were decomposed to a larger extent, they were continued with main network that circulates all the building.Even if units are separate from each other, they also keep visual contact among themselves.In Addition , in order to provide continuity defining like chain of events , a scenario was developed and some activity layers were created according to this scenario.Those activity layers provide continuity and variety.

Transformation Of TEMPELHOF AIRPORT at urban scale

Berrin Chatzi Chousein

+�� ��� ������� Until XXII and after the establishment of Third Reich, Hitler played an important role both in changing the history of Berlin, and changing of Europe.Berlin was the capital of the city of Third Reich and Hitler intended to plan the city center symbolizing the and of its governmentbeca use it was Hitler’s ideology representing the German Nation.The new urban planning concept was based on politics of government and architecture used as a tool for the propaganda of Hitler’s Ideology.

tempelhof

Tempelhof Airport is an nothern anatolian city which

is was designed in ���� by Ernst Sagebiel in Berlin an architect who had served as the manager of Erich Mendelson’spractice until the latter’s emigration in ����.In general, for Tempelhof Airport, Sagebiel’s design creates a complex form with open quadrant showing his style was not uniform and it shows sig nificance of the project.Tempelhof Airport was tounderlinethe modern,international style of the age and provide astriking ex ample of recent buildings type. Tempelhof Airport’s dim ensions were thirty times greater than what actuallyrequired at the middle of the ����’s.Actually, Sagebiel’s architectural style was appreciated by the Nazis is verified by commision from the government for the construction of the airport build ing in ����.It is originally Knights Templer or Order of Temple lan in Medieval Berlin and from this beginning came thename Tempelhof.The main area that forms Tempelhof airport and it was said that a surface area of ��� ha was necessary for the new airport.centre.Thanks to its location,Tempelhof was to be come Europe’s principal aerial croos-roads and stresses Berlin’s status as the capital of the Third Reich.Hitler’s idea was to keep

Berlin’s airport on the Tempelhof Feld,inside the city limits the only �,� km from the city centre as a new urban focus.

It was considered that since Tempelhof Airport and the building consumed,the building keptas a remembrance factor, because it represents and also reminds the history While doing that,climatic significance was also considered comprehensible.

the history

selectivememoryconstruction Relates with how Berlin is affected by its own history and what does Berlin want to forget?

remembranceandamnesia In the result of all quarters with all houses damaged in the cities of GDR and some historic houses were replaced by modern buildings in Plattenbau styleas for example in Berlin-Fischerkietz according to the new general principle of compact city and historic houses existed in the shade of the ideal of newcity scape and it is reflected in the remodelling of Alexanderplatz.The competitions organized in Alexanplatz promoted new image in the city.Planned �� Office Tower projects were criticised,because his planning strategy was to erase the traces of division by demolishing the symbols of socialism from reunified Berlin

consumption

It mainly relates with the government’s policy in order to close Tempelhof Airport as well as ecological and social impacts. The other reason of closing the Tempelhof Airport is associated with opening of Schoneberg Airport because the government wanted to enlarge the Schoneberg Airport.Though,these events show that the history of Tempelhof Airport and its history consumed.

and what does Berlin want to remember?Similarly,after Berlin reunification,it came up with several economic,social,political and cultural difficulties and the image of the city and formation of the city played very important role.

Berlin’s strategic urban planning was directly linked to politics of national remembrance and reconstruction of all collective memories because it was important in order toconstruct new identity of Berlin and Neill calls it

selective memory construction.

coldwar

Allied powers(the U.S. France and England) and the Soviet Union divided Germany into two zones at the end of XXI.West Germany occupied by the Soviet Union which was strictly controlled communist state.The city of Berlin,located in East Germany is also divided.Though surrounded by East Germany half of Berlin West Berlin was actually part of Wetst Germany.

In cultural and intellectual concepts Berlin is the most attractive place of Germany.Nowadays the industrial structure of Berlin is clearly dominated.

Chemical&Pharmaceutical&Biotechnological industries,research&education,as well as film&media&telecommunication industries are other modern sectors which have potential for future growth.Berlin needs a and rhe ragion around the airport does not offer many attractions for the citizens and visitors.

A Book Review ARCHITECTURE BETWEEN SPECTACLE AND USE edited by Anthony Vidler.Williamstown.2008.240 Reviewed by Berrin Chatzi Chousein 2009

Architecture between Spectacle and Use edited by Anthony Vidler� mainly discusses the concepts of spectacle and use. While doing that, the book presents some different approaches by evaluating today’s architecture. Especially, if the content of the book considered to a large extent, the book actually not only evaluates today’s architecture but also makes some comparisons between history and contemporary architecture. So, the title of the book gives a huge clue about the book itself and readers can easily understand what they should expect from the book.

What is important here that organization of the book divided into three sections.

They are titled as ‘Questioning of Spectacle’, ‘Histories and Genealogies’, and ‘Redefining Spectacle’ and each section consists of � or � chapters within itself. However, if we look at the distribution of the chapters as content, the chapters of first section mainly discuss the topic in a more architectural way.

The chapters of second section present new digital environment or new technological developments in architecture and lastly the chapters of third section again question the concepts of spectacle and use in a more architectural way.

Anthony Vidler makes a long introduction about the book by presenting concrete discussion which refers to Hal Foster’s critique. Namely, Vidler makes a critique of critique in the introduction of the book. Vidlerwith three statements of Hal Foster; the first one is about Hal Foster’s expression about Frank Gehry’s architecture and Foster believes that ‘Frank Gehry’s architecture arbitrary, perverse and oppressive’� but he supports this statement by referring Guy Debord’s expression in a reverse manner: spectacle is ‘an image accumulated to the point where it becomes capital’� .The other statement is that Hal foster criticizes not only Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao but also criticizes other master architects like Rem Koolhaas and their works. The last statement is about Foster’s approache as related with architecture because according to the Vidler, Hal Foster avoids characterizing architecture and because of that he does not use any specific terms like ‘baroque’ or ‘sublime’. Vidler explicitly shows the position of Hal Foster because he stands in the middle of the discussion. While Vidler making a long introduction about the book, he presents the book in a detailed way because he talks about the term of ‘esthetic’ or Kiesler tradition or Marx Weber’s claiming etc.

Although each section consists of different chapters which show different approaches and contents about the concepts of spectacle and use, I will choose two different chapters from each section which completely shows different attitudes the terms of spectacle and use. Namely, each chapter I choose will focus on the concepts of spectacle and use in a different content in terms of seeing new points of view about the topic. For example, one chapter will talk about more architecturally; the other one will talk about more digitally. So new chapters I choose will create new reiterative.In the first section of the book which consists of the article ‘Their Master’s Voice: Notes on the Architecture of Hans Scharoun’s and Frank Gehry’s Concert Halls’� explicitly reveals that the concepts of spectacle and use work with together in some examples Kurt W. Foster shows. The text is mainly about the comparison between Hans Scharoun’s Berlin Philharmonie and Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in an architectural manner.

The author evaluates these two buildings not only in terms of appearance of the building but also explains functional properties. Namely, Foster’s approach is very consistent in terms of the concepts of spectacle and use because he starts with today’s some concert halls typologies and their variations which provide a new form of music-making and different atmosphere that is created inside of the building.

In addition, the author revives the concert halls by giving some information about musical developments with new technological revolutions and he supports the topic by defining concert halls ‘new form of music making and different acoustical ideals’.� Kurt Foster gives the first concert hall example from the Sydney Opera House by Jorn Utzon because he believes that radical rethinking of concert hall started with this example and Sydney Opera House created an urban landmark with its distinctive property� .While explaining the evolution of the music and architecture, the author also adverts some design principles which consists of structural variations like parabolic or curvatures reappeared Le Corbusier’s Philips Pavilion and the most important reason of explaining about these design principles is to emphasize the functionality in the building. Especially, the author compares these two buildings in common terms,he says that ‘generally they are percepted in similar way because they are characterized according to some experimental basis and thanks to different design methods, user can experience different occasions in unexpected ways � .

As a different approach to the concepts of spectacle and use, the text written by Beatriz Colomina called ‘Media as Modern Architecture’� follows different way of explanation by taking into consideration the role of media in architecture or just media as architecture. In this article, Colomina associates the media with architecture directly and shegives an example of Thomas Demand, a photographer, because according to the author, ‘Thomas Demand sees media as architecture’.�

She starts her discussion with Thomas Demand’s life and his works which relates media because Demand’s attitude is very different towards media and representation; he really builds an image and according to Colomina ‘the architecture he finds within the spectacle is completely unspectacular’��.Demand creates so extensive images that he exhibits a kind of city,a vast landscape and it becomes media industry itself. The reason of stressing Demand’s position is that there is an accepted situation about modern architecture and media and Colomina supports this issue by expressing ‘Modern architecture is all about the mass-media image’�� and in order to make a connection between media and architecture in that respect she goes on her discussion with Mies Van Der Rohe as the most important example of modern architecture which shows the role of him in form of media because Mies Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion was known from the images, it was a kind of media construction. Although modern architecture is known with some design principles which display the properties of glass, concrete or light materials, it is mostly related with some publications, a media figure because media (newspapers, magazines..etc) serves the modern substantially.After evaluating the concepts of spectacle and use within two different approaches, ‘Monumentality in the Pictorial Still’ written by Sarah Williams Goldhagen’�� focuses on the ‘monumentality’ in the buildings after the World War II. While starting her discussion, Goldhagen explains the statements of Henry Rusell Hitchcock about monumental buildings. However, according to Goldhagen, Henry Rusell Hitchcock’s list more abstract and it directly refers to the Western monumentality’s formal attributes. After that, actually, the author defines ‘a new monumentality’ which shows an iconographic program called ‘embodied experience’ and she defines it like ‘these attributes, however, rely on a nonsemantic but nevertheless cognitive form of architectural apprehension �� that contemporary neuroscientists call ‘embodied experince’. The author goes on her discussion by making some historical analyses and she gives three main examples after World War II: the capital complex at Brasilia by Oscar Niemeyer, World Trade Center towers in New York City by Minoru Yamasaki and the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York, by Wallace K. Harrison. What is important here that the concept of spectacle is really discussed and questioned because those three examples evaluated not only as photograph but also she stresses that they are perceived easily from far away and those buildings draw a visual frame in the viewer’s eye. The concept of monumentality is important in terms of spectacle because those buildings created a new kind of monumentality aspictorial still and it gave rise to the question of ‘what kind of a spectacle is this’.

Felicity D.Scott in ‘Acid Visions’��mainly discusses the relationship between technology and architecture. The most important thing is that Scott tries to explain how the counterculture in ��’s gave rise the concept of spectacle because she firstly presents counter culture environment by giving an example of Buckminister Fuller’s ‘geodesic dome’. Scott discusses all the aspects (spatial, social, and psychological) of the people of counterculture environment and she explains the technological developments by giving an example of ‘Film Culture’ devoted to ‘Expanded Art’ published by Jonas Mekas and she touches on new electronic environment because thanks to new digital environment, mediacontact has gained new perspective. Scott explains her argument by saying that ‘bringing film into encounter with different media-from projected light and sound to architecture’ ‘Drop City’�� is anotherstatement in the Scott’s text because she cites Drop City as ‘totally removed from the traditional economic system’,�� that is, all the information about the object like dome construction which is presented as ‘total media environment intermix’��.In Drop City, Scott stresses the transmission of information. Moreover, she presents one example from the new type of geodesic dome or totally new art –Expo �� in Montreal and the author explains the Clard Svenson and other Dropper’s expressions because they explained that ‘a relatively new art form that’s getting its first big exposure at Expo �� in Montreal’��.At the end of the text ,Scott strongly emphasizes that in spite of all technological developments integrates with architecture unwitting, this kind of integration serves today’s architecture substantially because the concept of spectacle shows itself in this point like ‘Bilbao Effect’.

In order to carry discussion a bit further, Mario Carpo’s text ‘Nonstandard Morality: Digital Technology and Its Discontents’��again explains new digital technologies in architecture. While starting his discussion at the beginning of the text, Carpo firstly inquires ‘nonstandard architecture’-why do we need it?

Or what nonstandard architecture might be? and he supports his sentences by stating clearly that ‘European critics often characterize nonstandard architectural forms as a revival or a vindication of twentieth –century organicism, but they fail to explain why organicism should be better idea today than it was a century ago’�� .Then, he starts to make some definitions about nonstandard architecture in terms of technical and visual terms. While defining it technically, he says that ‘it is the simplest technical definition; nonstandard seriality means the mass media reproduction of identical parts.’��.While defining nonstandard architecture in visual terms, he explains that ‘a nonstandard series comprises a theoretically unlimited number of items that can all be all different but must also be, to some extent, all similar, in so far as some design

parameters and technical processes that were used to make them left a trace that should be somehow detectable in all end products’�� However, actually, Carpo believes that it was already classical tradition or was the starting point of nonstandard architecture. Because of that, he gives an example of Italian Renaissance-Alberti’s paradigm in order to make a relationship between past and today’s design methodology. While doing that, he always goes back and forward within a content.

Although Carpo believes that today’s design methodology actually based on classical tradition, he also presents other potentials of nonstandard architecture which referrers to the structural flexibility. For instance the author explains this;’ nonstandard technologies could interact with such irregularities and adapt from and design to the variability of nature almost as aptly as artisan manipulation used to do. In short,if this comes true, structural design could once again become an art, as it was up until a century ago, when building material was rare and human intelligence abundant.’��.Furthermore, Carpo touches on manufacturing methods and mentions different production manners. He believes that ‘thanks to the nonstandard architecture, one can produce variable products which means better, cheaper and more suitable.’�� .After presenting all the arguments about nonstandard architecture which referres to the concept of spectacle, Carpo terminates his discussion with Rem Koolhaas’s Seattle Central Library by emphasizing to the term of ‘monumentality’ because according to the author, Rem Koolhaas is totally out of nonstandard architecture and Rem Koolhaas does not conform to some norms of nonstandard architecture and he asks: what they stand for?As the most critical writing about the concepts of spectacle and use, ’Image building’ written by Hal Foster�� makes a real assessment about the topic. The text is mainly about history/story of pop architecture. Foster discusses Pop dimension which extendscontemporary architecture and basically he continues with two names: Reyner Benham and Robert Venturi. According to the author, actually, Banham sees Pop architecture as the ‘radical updating of modern technological but Venturi’s approach is more commercial.

Berrin Chatzi Chousein

While explaining the history of Pop architecture, Foster comes to two names which keep the traces of Pop architecture in different respect: Rem Koolhaas and Frank Gehry. Foster evaluates their architectures as ‘Pop sign’ because they are the best example of the concept of spectacle. They create a medialogo, a sign or media production. While doing that , he explains his argument like ‘But neither image works even as a Pop version of site specificity, for one cannot read them at ground level; in fact one has to see them in media reproduction, which might be the primary site of neo-pop architecture in the Internet age’.�� The most important thing is that Foster exhibits very consistent attitude in the text because after drawing a general frame about the history of Pop architecture, he directly relates the topic with today’s examples and the content of ‘Image Building’ is the best approach in the way of explaining of concept of spectacle. In conclusion, although the concepts of spectacle and use are discussed from many points of view, it is mostly accepted that ‘spectacle’ does not act as if just ‘an image’, actually, with the new developments of technology, new design methods have some other potentials which needs to be evaluated as mentioned in the text of ‘Nonstandard Morality: Digital Technology and Its Discontents’ by Mario Carpo. In addition, the concepts of spectacle and use become inseparable parts of design-they work together. Even if the concept of spectacle serves to commercial purposes-time to time, it becomes a fundamental issue in order to display art because the way of displaying art changes anymore and people want to goto the building which seems totally different or interesting, that is, they go to just ‘images’ because people like those buildings and they do not care about their function, that’s why, the concept of spectacle becomes more questionable.
