The practice of museology has a broad discourse based upon ideological, sociological, technological and architectural disciplines. This thesis will only cover two of these disciplines, architecture and technology, while analysing the museum environment as it is believed that museums are one of the most independent architectural spaces in both design and narration. Today, the field of virtual museums becomes very dynamic due to technological innovations and it offers different conceptual ideas for architecture and museography. Museums that are designed using virtual applications function in-between real and virtual spaces. Therefore, this study aims at focusing on virtual museums as a new space for architectural documentation and display. In this context, an unusual museum project at “METU Lodgings”, House No. 05 will be used as a tool and subject that illustrates the relation between museum architecture and contemporary technology. House No. 05 was designed as a temporary museum, however it suggests a permanency. This thesis can highlight the influence of a virtual website a museum although it no longer exists.

Environmental aesthetics of the rural architectural tradition in the Mediterranean highlander settlement: the case study of Ürünlü Kavas, Kemal Reha; Erzen, Jale Adile; Department of History of Architecture (2009) This thesis formulates a conceptual framework to account for the rural architectural traditions. The proposal is presented by referring to Ürünlü, a Mediterranean highland settlement in Southwestern Turkey. The thesis' basic assumption is the environmental coherence of the traditional rural culture. Environmental aesthetics provides the conceptual basis through which architectural elements of the environmental coherence are investigated. Environmental aesthetics enhances the inclusive conceptions of "enviro...
Urban transportation: sections at minus Erol, Ezgi; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2010) This thesis focuses on the underground transportation forms that began to emerge in city centers in the second half of the 20th century. Besides providing an illustration and evaluation of the selected case projects, the notions of speed and time are opened for discussion as significant concepts that interact to affect the physical formations both of cities and transport policies.

ON VARIETIES OF ARCHITECTURAL UTOPIANISM A CRITICAL READING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY UTOPIAN ARCHITECTURE Güneri Söğüt, Gizem Deniz (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-01-01) This text dwells on and manifests the methodological significance of utopianism for the practices of the urban, and specifically architecture, building upon the core definitions made by Ruth Levitas in delineating utopia as method. It surveys various manners of architectural utopianisms - but not architectural utopias themselves - in their broadest sense, to identify the main tendencies of this methodology throughout the twentieth century.
Authenticity in house museums: a tool for the reinterpretation of architectural space Uz, Melek Pınar; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2016) This thesis is a critical inquiry into the term “authenticity” in the relationship between the architectural aspects of museum spaces and the display context. By reinterpreting the expanded definitions and conceptualizations in the fields of art, museology and preservation and conservation studies, authenticity in architecture refers to all the architectural qualities, forming the physical and spiritual constitution of an architectural product. The aim of this study, in this sense, is to reintroduce authent...
Heideggerian way-making to language Sezgi, Damla; Karademir, Aret; Department of Philosophy (2016) The main concern of the present thesis is ‘language’ in Heidegger. Beginning with a discussion of the place of the Heideggerian thought within the context of the history of philosophy, which at that time witnessed a shift which is called ‘linguistic turn’, the question ‘What is language?’ is scrutinized to show the dilemma which arises from the fact that this question itself is in language. After, from the Heideggerian perspective, the interrogation of the whatness of language is shown to be inadequate, req...
