This dissertation examines the place of the concept of “local” in architectural historiography by focusing on the modernization process of Antalya. The analysis of the process is realized within two major contexts. On the one hand, the “peripheral” position of Antalya in canonic historiography is discussed in the frame of center-periphery relations and central-local actors; on the other hand, the developments both in the city center and its hinterlands are examined through the dualities of rural and urban, and natural and built environments. In the early Republican period, major modernization steps were experienced in the rural hinterlands considering the agricultural identity of Antalya developed in relation to the characteristics of its natural environment. On the other hand, urbanization, which is commonly associated with the modernization process implemented by the state during the twentieth century, started to transform the built environment in the city center and also affected its hinterland by the construction of new buildings for administration and public services, finance and trade, leisure and recreation, dwelling, and production, in which local initiatives also took on roles. Tourism policies after the 1960s had the most dramatic effect on the transformation of Antalya, increasing the touristic places in its center and hinterland, and turning the city itself into a center of tourism towards the end of the century by appropriating its natural and cultural richness. Thus, the formation of Antalya as a modern city from the 1920s to the 1980s was realized via the transformation of its built environment according to the constraints of its natural characteristics, and by the effects of both central policies and local responses.

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...

Naycı, Nida; Özgönül, Nimet; Department of Architecture (2005)
This thesis subjects the old Agricultural Bank Building in Mersin, which is one of the important traditional late 19th and early 20th century buildings of Mersin and which reflects important architectural features of that period. The main scope of this thesis is to prepare a conservation and restoration project for the أOld Agricultural Bank Buildingؤ which will pass the historical, architectural, cultural values of the building to the next generations.

Housing the modern nation: the transformation of residential architecture in Ankara during the 1920s
Avcı Hosanlı, Deniz; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2018)
The dissertation examines the residential architecture produced in Ankara during the 1920s. Scholars have studied the traditional housing in the historic city of Ankara constructed from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, as well as the modern housing constructed in the newly developed parts of the city during the period from the 1930s onwards; however, studies on the housing production of the first decade of the Turkish Republic in both the old and the new parts of Ankara are still insufficient. The p...
Printed architectures: architects’ auto-monographs in Turkey 1950s-1980s
Bancı, Selda; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2016)
This dissertation examines architecture in Turkey from the 1950s to the 1980s through printed mediums and focuses on the auto-monographs prepared by practising architects, one of the genres of printed mediums in architecture. These books retrospectively display architects’ complete œuvre via images and texts and provide a place for architects to structure their own architectural production and to develop an understanding of architecture itself as a practice. The monographs live longer than the buildings and...
Diagrammatic potency of the "nine square grid" in architectural design
Kalfazade, Nihat; Gür, Berin Fatma; Department of Architecture (2004)
The aim of this thesis is to search for the diagrammatic potency of the أnine square gridؤ (9SG) in architectural design. The thesis refers to the diagram as a tool for bringing order to the essential elements of architecture (i.e. program, structure and context). It highlights the potential relationships among these elements. In this study, the 9SG is approached as a diagram that has the potential to generate different spatial relations. The thesis investigates different uses of the 9SG in reference to the...
