The aim of this study is to acknowledge the twofold condition of exhibition spaces regarding the measure of integration it holds with the moving visitor and reread the arising architectural experiences. The two distant relational dynamics exhibitions imply, which transpire with reference to the absence/presence of a moving visitor, have been a point of discussion in the architectural discourse, but they have only been recognized through the limited agenda of the “containing box”. Accordingly, understanding the experiences that exhibitions culminate in has been considered through the isolated characteristics of architectural space and the objects of display. In order to transcend this approach and enhance the twofold statement, the research asserts the necessity of making use of additional disciplines in a way that existing tools of architectural representation are not capable of. Embodying a cross disciplinary approach, this study aims to unfold the changing condition of exhibitions via deploying the “productive metaphors” of mise-en-scène and montage. Resulting from the inherent tension between the conceptual framework of the adopted terms, the study introduces the term mise-en-cadre which constructs a decoding vocabulary and a methodology that propound an elaborate way of re-reading exhibition-scapes and their unfolded experiences. Through the ‘narrative’ structure mise-en-cadre culminates in, as a result of its ontological condition, the study unfolds the exhibition “Each Moment is a Portal” which is produced by the artist Özlem Altın and displayed within the 16th Istanbul Biennial ‘The Seventh Continent’ with the author’s participation as an artist assistant.

Relief-spaces: trans-positions in display environments Sarıca, Sezin; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2019) The aim of this study is to redefine the relationship between the exhibition space and the object on display. With the recognition that architecture of exhibition space has been a renowned problematic in the architectural discourse, this study specifically focuses on the spatial integrity of both the container, the exhibition space, and the content, the object on display. The inquiry is into the possibility of using the visual field of artistic production, “relief”, as a decoder, in order to be able to defi...
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. Exhibitions work as a medium for architecture while framing and redefining the profession over and over again. Although their existence is temporary, their effects on the development of architectural theory is permanent. Architectural exhibitions display an object which is not physically there by using drawings, models or photographs in full scale or in fragments. Alongside h...
An Architectural history of the movie theaters in Ankara Kaymaz, Elif; Yoncacı Arslan, Pelin; Department of History of Architecture (2019) The purpose of this work is to study the movie theater as a product of the architectural culture of the 20th century and to develop a comprehensive discourse which allows for an understanding and discussion of such spaces, their social and spatial conditions and meanings in different times and places. Starting from the very experience of the spectator, touching the topics of the historical and architectural formation of the space of public exhibition and the practice of moviegoing, finally a conversation be...
On critique of architectural image : reading Jean Baudrillard through Jean Nouvel Uslu, İrem; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2011) The aim of this study is to question the relationality between conception of image, social condition of an era and architecture. With acceptance of a transition to a new kind of relationality in contemporary era, a trialectical analysis is carried on, in order to understand changes in this relationality and its effects on contemporary architecture. Image, mainly depicted as the tool for communication, loses its transcendental and ideal status and degrades to an artificial and tricky state under the contempo...
Comparison of design codes for seismically isolated structures Acar, Emre; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) This study presents information on the design procedure of seismic base isolation systems. Analysis of the seismic responses of isolated structures, which is oriented to give a clear understanding of the effect of base isolation on the nature of the structure; and discussion of various isolator types are involved in this work. Seismic isolation consists essentially of the installation of mechanisms, which decouple the structure, and its contents, from potentially damaging earthquake induced ground motions. ...
