This thesis investigates space through its relationship with society based on the idea of the social production of space. By employing the social concepts of community and institution, and the spatial concepts of shelter space and marker space, it provides a theoretical perspective for the evaluation of space in architectural history. This theoretical frame is supplied with a case study on the evolution of Early Christian community and their meeting place. The historical course of the Early Christianity in the Roman Empire from community formation to become an institution – Christendom - constitutes the paradigm for the social premise of the thesis. On the other hand, the proposed outline for the spatial evolution is demonstrated on the house-church at Dura-Europos.

Reading Sulukule as a social production of space: ownership/possession and boundaries of the dwelling
Baş, Miray; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2008)
The main subject of this thesis is focused on the notion of taking space as a production and the relations that effect this production. The theoretical background of this study will be based on Henri Lefebvre’s ‘Production of Space’. In this context, the notion of house which is the spatialization of social life, interrogated within the concepts of possession and ownership. This interrogation is constructed on the Sulukule district which presents unfamiliar social and physical relations. According to this, ...
Producing Space : an ethnographic case study in Banyabashi Mosque, Sofia, Bulgaria
Kahraman, Yakup Deniz; Strasser, Sabine; Mücen, Barış; Department of Sociology (2012)
This thesis aims to explore the role of social practice in the production of space within an anthropological perspective. In particular I drew my empirical data from my fieldwork in the site of Banyabashi Mosque. Banyabashi Mosque is the only active mosque which is located at the very representative, cultural and commercial center of Bulgaria’s capital city, Sofia. The historical background of Bulgaria together with its current socio-political situation as the country having the largest historically indigen...
Heideggerrian Existentialism and Post-Marxism
Ertuğrul, Kürşad (2006-01-01)
In this article, the articulation of Heideggerian existentialism to the post-Marxist theory of politics isexamined critically. With this articulation, post-Marxism aims to grant politics an ontological statusby using concepts which are detached from their philosophical context. The article argues that thisarticulation is problematic, as the theoretical and philosophical problems generated by thisincorporation remain unresolved. However, it also argues that this problematic articulation revealsth...
PRODUCTION OF SPACE AND SOCIAL COHESION: ROMA, IRAQIS, AND LOCALS IN THE ANKARA NEIGHBORHOOD OF DEMIRLIBAHÇE
KARAYİĞİT, HAKKI OZAN; RİTTERSBERGER-TILIÇ, HELGA; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2021-1)
This research investigates the relationship between social cohesion and the production of space through the socio-spatial transformations that four specific streets of Ankara’s Demirlibahçe neighborhood have been experiencing. The primary aim of focusing on these four streets, which have been appropriated by three communities (Roma, Turkmen migrants from Iraq/Telafer, and locals) is to scrutinize how the production of space in particular streets hampers possible social cohesion at the local level. In relati...
Design, production and development of mini/micro robots to form a cooperative colony
Başaran, Dilek; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
Design, production and development of individual mini/micro robots and then formation of their cooperative colony are the main topics of this thesis. The produced mini/micro robots are as small and light as possible. In addition, they are multifunctional (programmable), flexible and intelligent while maintaining a very low production cost. Mini/micro robots, called MinT-DB series are able to communicate with each other to work cooperatively. Moreover, these robots can be the basis for the future studies con...
