From antiquity to the present, the supremacy of vision is an undeniable fact, which, however, shows an alteration in modern times due to the technological improvements. This alteration in the supremacy of vision has also affected architecture, causing it to be experienced merely by its appearance. Yet, this thesis argues that it is not sufficient to understand and experience architecture by its appearance. Accordingly, this thesis aims to voice criticism towards this supremacy of vision in experiencing architecture, laying stress on the reasons why „solely‟ vision is inadequate. As opposed to the supremacy of vision, the thesis argues that understanding as well as experiencing a building occurs with „dwelling‟. Benefiting from the field of phenomenology, the thesis introduces an interpreted understanding of dwelling, namely „plural architectural experience‟ through „movement‟, „sensation‟ and „memory‟, progressing in „time‟. To concretize these defined concepts, the plural architectural experience will be narrated via METU Faculty of Architecture. By this means, the importance of this plural experience is highlighted in order to create awareness for those creating and for those experiencing.

A genomic snapshot of demographic and cultural dynamism in Upper Mesopotamia during the Neolithic Transition
Altınışık, Nefize Ezgi; et. al. (bioRxiv, 2022-02-01)
Upper Mesopotamia played a key role in the Neolithic Transition in Southwest Asia through marked innovations in symbolism, technology, and foodways. We present thirteen ancient genomes (c.8500-7500 calBCE) from Pre-Pottery Neolithic Çayönü in the Tigris basin together with bioarchaeological and material culture data. Our findings reveal that Çayönü was a genetically diverse population, carrying a mixed ancestry from western and eastern Fertile Crescent, and that the community received immigrants. Our result...
The display of hekatomnid power in karian settlements through urban imagery
Üzel, Ayça; Güven, Suna Naziyet; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2007)
This thesis focuses on a distinctive period in Karian history marked by the Hekatomnid dynasty in the 4th century BC. The basic question is the ways in which the Hekatomnid power was reflected in the Karian settlement practices and urban imagery. In this regard Maussollos, the most well-known member of the Hekatomnid dynasty, and his policies, including vast building projects and synoikismoi activities, are important indicators in giving a hint on Karian political praxis for the solution of conjectural prob...
A genomic snapshot of demographic and cultural dynamism in Upper Mesopotamia during the Neolithic Transition
ALTINIŞIK, NEFİZE EZGİ; et. al. (2022-11-04)
Upper Mesopotamia played a key role in the Neolithic Transition in Southwest Asia through marked innovations in symbolism, technology, and diet. We present 13 ancient genomes (c. 8500 to 7500 cal BCE) from Pre-Pottery Neolithic Çayönü in the Tigris basin together with bioarchaeological and material culture data. Our findings reveal that Çayönü was a genetically diverse population, carrying mixed ancestry from western and eastern Fertile Crescent, and that the community received immigrants. Our results furth...
The Design of new buildings in historical urban context: formal interpretation as a way of transforming architectural elements of the past
Bekar, Elif; Balamir, Aydan; Department of Architecture (2018)
The idea of new architecture in old settings is based on the concept of continuity in history. Ensuring this continuity and creating appropriate coexistence of old and new buildings are difficult tasks because of the changes that have taken place in architectural attitudes, building materials, and construction techniques. After briefly exploring different approaches developed to fulfil this challenging task and their applications, this thesis focuses on buildings that are designed by interpreting the existi...
‘‘Form’’ and ‘‘space’’ in Roman domestic architecture: the architectural language of the Atrium house
Şeker Ilgın, Ayşegül; Özgenel, Lale; Department of History of Architecture (2008)
This study investigates two significant components of architectural design, ‘‘form’’ and ‘‘space’’ and the basic design elements and principles used in their creation in the context of Roman domestic architecture. It more specifically examines how, by which means and for which purposes certain form and space defining tools such as the column, wall, floor, ceiling and opening with their architectural equivalents as the point, line, plane and volume were used in the atrium houses exemplified in Pompeii in Ita...
