Perception of the architectural space in the phenomenal world is through different senses. However, in the films, this perception is through the faculty of vision only and in the order of the vision of the director and the cinematographer. These artists control the spatial observation of spectators with the control of the camera. Despite the differences in the space understanding of films and architecture, they are also parallel conceptually and practically as the number of architects involved in the design of the spatial organization of the films imply. Hence thesis starts with a theoretical study to understand the common ground in both fields regarding space. The Room - the smallest unit of architectural space- is also the most basic component of the complex spatial organization in the films. However, some narrative films are shot predominantly in just one single room. This thesis focuses on such movies created in existing or imaginary setups. The thesis categorizes such stage sets as Scenographic,which are created by the architects, decorators and/or set designers for the action of the spectatorial reality. Whereas actual architectural interior spaces i.e. buildings, in which films took place are categorized as Tectonic spaces. In many cases, such tectonic spaces are also manipulated and such redesigned spaces are named as Hybrid.With the advent of the digital technologies, alterations of the real spaces or creation of totally fictitious spaces are becoming more commonplace.This thesis focuses mostly on the single space films of the pre-digital era. Trying to understand the motives of the economy of space in these films, the thesis makes a classification of narrative films based on the role and the design of the spaces. Spatial representations in these films are studied in depth to comprehend the viewpoints of the directors, set-designers and architects.

Complexity management and mutability in architectural form conception: form-blindness and softform
Kızılcan, Egemen Berker; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2015)
Expressions in architecture, as modes of conveying information, have the power to shape perception and thinking, as well as architectural production. Architectural conception is today induced by custom information models with the advent of technologies and methodologies associated with the computational paradigm and therefore are capable of inhabiting complex orders that arise from a multiplicity of concerns. Architecture is no longer constituted by the fixity of a single instance of form, instead possibili...
Perspective for the Reproduction of Architectural Space: ARCH524 as a Pretext
Kapusuz, Bilge Beril; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2012)
Discovery of the linear perspective of the Renaissance is momentous in terms of the appearance of a new “way of seeing” that is central to the “subject” and emergence of a “subjective” “way of representing” the world. With the assumption that “perspective” is a cultural constituent of the “Renaissance paradigm” that generates the representational notions of art and architecture, perspective is considered as a “convention” and a “mode of representation” that has been influential until the “paradigm shifts” i...
Construction of “physical” and “dream” spaces through things/objects in the selected works of Georges Perec and Orhan Pamuk
Özmen, Müge; Enginsoy Ekinci, Ayşe Sevil; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2014)
This thesis is an attempt to examine the construction of “physical” and “dream” spaces through things/objects of daily life belonging to the past and the present. As an interdisciplinary study, it focuses on Things by Georges Perec (1965) and The Museum of Innocence (novel/2008), The Museum of Innocence (museum/2012) and The Innocence of Objects (catalogue of the museum/2012) by Orhan Pamuk and looks comparatively into the dynamics between “physical” and “dream” spaces in these works, and the roles played b...
Analysis of the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals
Bakht, Nazlı; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2007)
This study aims to analyze the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals within architectural media that shape today’s architectural production. This aim is accomplished in three sections; “examining the power of image in architecture”; “examining architectural media” and “examining the periodicals’ attitudes towards using architectural photography”. A case study is done to uncover the relationship between the photograph and the medium that it takes place on and determine ...
Improvement of Atatürk Street İn Antalya as a problem of spatial continuity
Saydam, Oya; İmamoğlu, Vacit; Department of Architecture (2006)
The city is a fundamental and universal human creation. It is a unique centre for social life as well as individual and collective fulfillment. However, cities have been shaped and reshaped by mere functionalistic, stylistic and materialistic aspects rather than developmental ones that incorporate social, cultural and environmental variables. The frantic, irreversible urban growth that societies throughout the world have experienced over the past few decades has caused a transformation of urban spaces and a...
