The economic and political restructuring of the 1980s whose main aim was to integrate Turkey to the global economic network via constructing “global cities” initiated not only new architectural programs such as grand shopping malls, office towers, world trade centers, five-star hotels but also new housing patterns all of which played an important role in shaping the urban character. As a result of these new architectural programs Ankara’s urban landscape has been reterritorialized according to the logic of capital. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of the emerging residential programs on Ankara’s urban transformation since 2000. Specifically, this research critically concentrates on the process of transformation of a low rise-low density residential area into a high rise-high density residence through construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction of the same site initiating a “re-scaled” urban landscape. With this respect, this study endeavours to deal with the case of destructing the TBMM Milletvekili Lojmanları for constructing Park Oran Konutları.

Architecture as an urban and social sign : understanding the nature of urban transformation in Eskişehir highway, Ankara Bonjaku Gökdemir, Ornela; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2009) The buildings of a city such as shopping malls, plazas, world trade centers, hotels or even residential complexes are not only alternative urban building typologies but they represent power in social, economical, political and even religious terms. In this sense buildings should not be seen as specific design and research areas limited with single building scale but rather should be seen as urban statements in city scale. However the eclectic existence of these buildings in urban fabric causes a series of u...

"The Maximum Architecture Can Do" : architecture versus urbanism from Le Corbusier to Rem Koolhaas Tağmat, Tuğçe Selin; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2004) As from the beginning of the 20th century, there has been a shift in the scale of architectural production as an outcome of advanced construction technologies, new range of building materials, automation of building services and progressive infrastructural networks. The increased physical capacity -the deeper and taller buildings- not only increased the scale of the architectural practice in relation with urban planning, but also presented architecture the possibility to offer a wider social programmation f...
