Mental. Physical. The discussion goes back to Ancient times as the soul and the body. It does, however, keep up to date, which makes space issue go beyond the discipline of architecture, and relate it with other disciplines, such as mathematics, physics or philosophy, and hence the comprehensive theory of space. In the scope of the thesis, the process of reproduction of space that is the concrete form of abstract time is approached from different perspectives across disciplines by decomposing space theory into elements. Besides theoretical part, there is a practical dimension in which the decomposed elements of the theory are compounded in the form of the city. In practice, the production and reproduction processes of the city of Çanakkale are analysed by using Henri Lefebvre’s concepts of space based on the dialectical relation between “the conceived,” “the perceived” and “the lived.” These processes are discussed by using the plans of the city as abstract representations of the state which is one of the component elements of space in addition to the society. In this regard, the reproduction of space in time, represented through the maps, is examined in respect of the interaction between the state and the society. Inasmuch as Lefebvre determines mental space as the base to reach “reality,” this thesis attempts to reveal the process of the reproduction by means of the contradictions of abstract space obtained from history, and to produce its own representation as a result of macro and micro level analysis.
