This thesis positions itself as an archival effort on the METU Campus and aims to carry the ideas of “research by design” and “conservation by documentation.” The conceptual focus of this research is “Volume” and “Volume Defining Enclosures” on the campus, especially on the “Alle”, the main pedestrian circulation space of the academic zone. The “Alley” and the exterior spaces surrounding it are researched extensively utilizing the architects' original drawings, by conducting on-site research and using the metaphor of brush strokes. The findings are presented in the form of case studies, resulting from a systematic representation process, and include a series of axonometric models paired with original architectural drawings and photographs.

Interpretive schemes and Ottoman historiography in the twentieth century
Kılınçoğlu, Deniz T; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2005)
This thesis analyzes the influences of three eminent social scientists on Ottoman historiography. Fernand Braudel, Immanuel Wallerstein and Michael Mann are three important scholars, who challenged the paradigms of world historiography in the twentieth century. Nevertheless, whereas the studies of Braudel and Wallerstein made more strong impacts on the area, the influences of Mann remain limited. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influences of the former two scholars on Ottoman historiography and th...
MAPPING MODERN CAMPUSES: “AN IMAGINATIVE PROJECTION BACKWARD IN TIME”
Yürekli, Yurdanur Melike; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2023-1-19)
This study aims to map a specific network of modernism that embodies operational projections. Based on Genz and Lucas-Drago’s definition, mapping is understood as a technique to generate a representation of spaces and places of the “actors” and their relation to each other. Mapping modern campuses, here, are interpreted in multiple contexts and considered both a research tool, an interface, and a visualization problem for revealing the network. University campus as an urban model particularly after the...
University campus design in spatial, social and political considerations
Ilgaz, Berkay; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2014)
The subject matter of this research is university campus design, and it is discussed in a wider framework of some of the general concerns of the field of urban design. In this study the concept ‘campus’ is not only taken as model of university settlement, but in a broader sense, any type of space on which higher education institutions are found. The problem is defined in both a universal scale of the general issues and practices developed in the post industrial cities, and the case of Turkish higher educati...
