Regardless of the common grounds and shared entities, landscape and architecture have been segregated in theory and professional practice since late 19th century. This longstanding disciplinary division resulted in unhealthy built environment, composed of isolated buildings from their surroundings, which can be healed by an integrated practice of landscape and architecture. Thus, this study seeks to reveal conceptual frameworks that question the false dichotomy between architecture and landscape by analyzing Tadao Ando’s theories and practice. In order to contextualize the relation between architecture and landscape; this study grasps the division of these disciplines from the ideological roots to contemporary situation. Then the roots of Tadao Ando’s architectural vocabulary and philosophy are analyzed to provide a background information on which his interplay between architecture and landscape dwells. As the final output of this study, five conceptual frameworks are proposed to integrate architecture and landscape in varying contexts.

An Ontological inquiry on potentials of criticality and conceptualization of program in architecture

Paradoxes of exhibiting architecture
Köse, Melte; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2019)
This thesis starts with the assumption that architectural exhibitions are powerful enough to define a research field in architecture.

A new approach for defining the conservation status of early Republican architecture, case study : primary school buildings in İzmir
Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Madran, Emre; Department of Architecture (2010)
International discussions on the conservation of the twentieth-century architectural heritage emphasize the diversity of the whole of the built environment of the entire century, rather than limiting consideration to canonic examples of the architectural historiography during the identification and assessment of the properties to be conserved. In contrast to this international holistic and inclusive approach, the approach to the identification and assessment of the properties in Turkey has in general been s...
