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 World War II period between the 1950s-1970s corresponds to the total complexity of modernism with projections from and towards the spatio-temporal contingencies. The narration of campus case composes a unique assemblage with actant layers ranging from the architect’s intention, institutional requirements, regional and physical environment, social and political drive, cultural context, material availability, and further usage by students, professors, and personals. This study configures after multiple mapping trials with potentials, limitations, and shortcomings that occur in both representational and archival frames.

VOLUMETRIC READING OF THE MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY CAMPUS’ ALLEY Doğan, Ege; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2022-12-7) 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 m...
Exhibition-scapes from mise-en-scene to mise-en-cadre Önertürk, Cemre; Serin, Ufuk; Department of Architecture (2020) The aim of this study is to acknowledge the twofold condition of exhibition spaces regarding the measure of integration it holds with the moving visitor and reread the arising architectural experiences. The two distant relational dynamics exhibitions imply, which transpire with reference to the absence/presence of a moving visitor, have been a point of discussion in the architectural discourse, but they have only been recognized through the limited agenda of the “containing box”. Accordingly, understanding ...
Repositioning moving image in computational design education Kavakoğlu Akçay, Ayşegül; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Architecture (2015) The boundaries between science, art and design have begun to disappear with the developments in computational technologies particularly in the 21st century. Along with this convergence via computational technologies, architecture and design adapt new design tools and methods, which affected the design process at the first glance. The circumstances of these adaptations influenced both theory and praxis in architecture and design by resulting in paradigmatic shifts in which the meaning of design tools evolved...
Terminology Relating To ‘Buildings That Have Combined Functions’ In Anatolian Seljuk Architecture İpekoğlu, Başak (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1993) This research aims to assess the validity of a classification of architectural edifices, based on a new terminology developed for groups of buildings from the Anatolian Seljuk period. These groups of buildings are often combinations of mosques, 'turbe's, 'medrese's and 'darüşşifa's which have distinct design characteristics of the Seljuk period of Anatolia, and which seem to have evolved later into the Ottoman period. In some of these groups of buildings in this period, either two or three different functio...
Monitoring historic urban landscapes : MoSA: a monitoring system for Ayvalık-depots region / Özbayar, Gürem Fahriye; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2014) This thesis aims to review the studies made so far on systematic monitoring in urban context and develop a general methodology which has the potential to be adapted to every historic urban landscape. With the defined aim, a literature survey is carried out, and the key terms defined and used so far in monitoring methodology are studied. The key terms and the information gained through the literature survey are developed into a methodology proposal, while being applied to the case of Ayvalık-Depots Region. M...
