This paper argues that the experimental cut-out animation of Larry Jordan demonstrates a strong interest in the cinematic construction of places, settings, and sites, one that reflects an understanding of place as a blend of history, memory, fantasy, and experience. Since the early 1960s, Jordan’s animations have appropriated a variety of still imagery, ranging from Victorian engravings and paintings to archival photographs. By transforming these materials through cut-out stop-motion techniques, these animations evoke an indexical relation to the outside world. Inasmuch as an index constitutes a trace of an object and bears an existential relation to it, Jordan’s dense tapestry of collaged ephemera serves as an index of the Victorian era. But the stop-motion manipulation also renders these indexical documents surreal through the juxtaposition of apparently unrelated images. Blending extensive archival research with a close visual analysis of Patricia Gives Birth to a Dream by the Doorway (1964) and The Centennial Exposition (1964), I contend that Jordan’s work focuses on the historiography of actual and imaginary places through an emphasis on the productive tension not just between still and moving imagery, but between indexicality and illusion as well. Rather than securely embalming the places of the past in their historical context, Jordan’s use of stop-motion exposes histories of places as fragmentary constructions open to alteration, re-reading, and reconfiguration.

The Transformation of gecekondu phenomenon via visual and spatial narratives
Özalp, Öncü; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2017)
This thesis aims narrating the transformation of gecekondu phenomenon from use to exchange value via visual and spatial narratives by starting from the 1940s to the first half of the 1980s in Turkey. While the concentration of important breaks and ruptures during this transformation process are evaluated through discussions on use value of space and representations indicating visual narratives of successive spatial changes of gecekondu in its commodification process, the spatial qualities it possesses are e...
The architectural precedent and the diagram: a comparative analysis of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye and Rem Koolhaas' Maison a Bordeaux
Küçük, Alper; İmamoğlu, Vacit; Department of Architecture (2007)
The last decade of the 20th century witnessed a revival of interest in the idea of diagrams in many disciplines, including architecture. Thus, terms like 'diagram architecture' and 'diagrammatic practice' have started to dominate the architectural discourse, both in theory and practice. Although much of the contemporary work examined under the rubric 'diagram architecture' celebrate diagram's capacity to generate new ideas and forms and embrace the diagram as a tool to revolt against the authority of establ...
The effects of interdisciplinary relations on architecture : a case study Frank Gehry
Yücesan, Dilek; Erzen, Jale Adile; Department of Architecture (2004)

The Historiographic Problem in the Renaissance
Vatan Demirkan, Pelin; Boztemur, Recep; Department of History (2023-3-22)
This thesis aims to analyze some characteristics of history writing in the Renaissance era as an overlooked concept of the subject. In the literature, the period is perceived either in too romantic or too critical perspectives. The former side views the era as the emergent movement of modern European culture, without analyzing its Medieval characteristics. On the other hand, the latter side tends to underestimate the significant features of this era, mostly because of romantic perspective’s effect. Neverthe...
