Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Aims graduate students to:
1. Approach architecture as an intellectual and critical field,
2. Produce architectural thought together with other disciplinary thoughts,
3. Develop the ability to discuss current design problems and propose creative solutions,
4. Evaluate new technical/technological opportunities in terms of architecture,
7. Develop ideas on designing and producing architecture in the context of the contemporary environment of Turkey.

Course Content:

The issue of building sociality with architecture will be reviewed regarding the developments in Europe and North America by focusing on Turkey's transformation between 18th and 21st centuries. The course is not in the nature of a conventional history of Turkish architecture. The stylistic discussions will be completely excluded, and the argument that architecture cannot be discussed autonomous from other cultural practices will be taken as the basis.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) To gain consciousness of the historicity of architectural knowledge and environment,
2) To gain consciousness of architecture as also an urban practice,
3) To be able to view and interpret architecture through local, geographical and social diversities,

Course Flow Plan

Week	Subject	Related Preparation
1)	The issue of the sociability of space: Opportunities to move away from depression-centered narratives to normalize sociality
2)	Architecture and cosmopolitanism: What is ethno-religious, class and cultural pluralism in Turkey? The destruction of traditional cosmopolitanism and the construction of pluralism and its dilemmas in Turkey.
3)	The planability of the city: As myth and reality… To imagine an urban planning without “consensus”. The state of the disciplinary founding authority to imagine itself as a non-social power center.
4)	The city as a subtext in rural and village discourses: From the late Ottoman to the 1990s... From rural utopias to the discourses of villagers in the city…
5)	The politics of space and architecture. To imagine space and architecture as a means of political representation.
6)	The visual construction of the space. Plans, miniatures, silhouettes, engravings, photographs, films... The fact that visuality is one of the space-making practices…
7)	Gender, space and architecture in Turkey. The possibilities and impossibilities of the genders to appear in public.
8)	The metropolis as the construction site of modern uncanny and the site of crime. Conflict as a means of sociation, and concealment of conflict with narratives of uncanny…
9)	Architecture of escape: Escaping from the neighborhood, the city, the metropolis. Starting from the 18th century, the escape from the multitude to the singularity. Escape without escape.
10)	Cultural autarky and architecture: The myth of self-sufficiency and its implications. A critique of the architectural conception whose only value judgment is "domestic or foreign".
11)	The invention of modern domesticity: Radical reconstitution of housing as a family space.
12)	The invention of the child and childhood: A shift and its architectural extensions that started in the 18th century in Western Europe and the late 19th century in Turkey.
13)	Final paper presentation and discussion
13)	Final paper presentation and discussion
