Bu amaçla, çalışma ünlü mimar ve teorisyen Robert Venturi'nin kitabında yer verdiği mimari çelişkiler ve karmaşıklıkları ortaya çıkarmaya çalışır. Mimarlığın ayrılmaz parçası olan 'mekân' haricinde ki dinamiklerini, 'Las Vegas Bulvarı Mimarisi' aracılığıyla ele alarak, Venturi'nin kitabında yer verdiği; 'iletişim mimarlığı/sembolik mimarlık/mimarsız mimarlık' gibi kavramları inceler. Post-modernizm'e değinirken özellikle, 'Venturi'nin Las Vegas Şeridi' ve gündelik kentsel peyzajda ki eklektizme ve dinamizme odaklanır. Post-modernizm (1960'lar) ile gelişme göstermeye başlayan Las Vegas Şerit mimarisi, çok disiplinli bir yaklaşım ile kentsel tasarım ve kentsel peyzaj açısından ele alınarak, işaret mimarlığı ve eklektizmin kentsel tasarıma yansımaları üzerine yoğunlaşarak, bulvarın gündelik tasarım felsefesi incelenmiştir. Venturi'nin Las Vegas'tan öğrenmemiz gerekenler olduğunu savunurken aslında gündelik mimariyi niçin övdüğü de tartışılmıştır. Princeton Üniversitesi 'Mimarlık ve Kentsel Tasarım Okulu'nda danışma kurulu üyesi de olan Venturi (1966); 'Mimarlıkta Karmaşıklık ve Çelişki' kitabın da mimarlık felsefesini açıkça ortaya koyarak; 'Less is more'(az çoktur) deyimi ile bilinen Mies Van Der Rohe'ye karşılık 'Less is bore' (az sıkıcıdır) söylemi ile karşılık vermiştir. Dolayısıyla, bu çalışma post-modern dönemde gelişen kentsel tasarım anlayışını, Venturi'nin yorumları ve eserleri üzerinden araştırmış ve mekânız bir mimarlığın, semboller ve hangarlardan oluşan bir yöresel bağlamın dünyada nasıl geniş bir yankı uyandırdığı üzerine bir incelemedir.

Space is naturally a unit with defined boundaries and we stand in the middle of this unit, thus, spaces have more or less boundaries, and when these boundaries become more transparent, permeable, and dynamic instead of rigid and fixed the spatial values of spaces increase and turn into flexible spaces. In this framework, spatial design is an organization that is; flexible and dynamic with various scenarios and necessities, it’s the art of space-making with both 2-d (two-dimensional) and 3-d (three-dimensional) tools and methods. Spatial design is creative and innovative, hence contemporary. By adapting spatial design; instead of traditional fixed walls, it is possible to obtain scenario-based, flexible, multi...

Being remarkably different from traditional types of spatial organizations, the new house types present an open plan concept with a highly flexible and adaptable spatial arrangement that exhibit diverse functional spaces within one open, integrated space. In light of this, the main aim of this study is to reveal the new dynamics of spatial organization found in today's small house types and identify the significant changes in the contemporary design approaches to small house layouts which have evolved from a need for minimized space usage and a requirement for diverse living spatiality. Subsequently, thirty houses have been chosen to be analysed for the purpose of this study to reveal the differences between integrated and segregated spatial organizations in regard to flexibility, adaptability, transfo...

In fact, bridges gave many samples at history with high aesthetic qualities; constructed with diverse materials and vernacular traditional construction methods of the region and era they had been built. Bridges, however, known as engineering products, today it is expected from them to accommodate high aesthetic qualities as being perceptual productions of their environment. It is this ‘construction and aesthetics’ combination that makes them landmarks, which will be demonstrated in the paper by selected cases include both high structural and aesthetical qualities, transforms them to landmarks and icons of their city. On the other hand, by the development of new materials and construction styles, aesthetic consideration come forward by productions of sculptural steel construction bridges in cities. Basically paper consists of two parts, which first one is literature review that introduces ...
