The seeds of postmodern architecture were sown in the early 1950s and 1960s when architects, theoreticians and teachers developed new design approaches and pedagogies related to the notion of context in order to heal the ill effects of orthodox modern architecture and planning. Critical Regionalism was suggested as an alternative to postmodern architecture in the 1980s, though it strongly aligns with its original premises on context. To unfold this relation, this paper provides a critical re-reading of Kenneth Frampton’s seminal text ‘Towards a Critical Regionalism’ in comparison to postmodern architecture’s early contextuality, which is discussed specifically through the works of its protagonists Colin Rowe and Robert Venturi.

ON VARIETIES OF ARCHITECTURAL UTOPIANISM A CRITICAL READING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY UTOPIAN ARCHITECTURE
Güneri Söğüt, Gizem Deniz (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-01-01)
This text dwells on and manifests the methodological significance of utopianism for the practices of the urban, and specifically architecture, building upon the core definitions made by Ruth Levitas in delineating utopia as method. It surveys various manners of architectural utopianisms - but not architectural utopias themselves - in their broadest sense, to identify the main tendencies of this methodology throughout the twentieth century.
Understanding transformations in architecture from post-industrial condition to the second digital turn
Alankaya, Ece Alara; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2022-5-13)
The influence between architecture and industry manifested itself in a series of new technical developments, styles, and trends in architectural practice in the 19th and 20th centuries. With the inclusion of the advanced machine of industry, 'computer' into this sphere of influence, the sequential mode of transformations furcated and dispersed into a reticulated structure and began to penetrate the fundamentals of architecture. Today, while the non-human intervention/involvement of advanced computation, rob...
An Ontological inquiry on potentials of criticality and conceptualization of program in architecture
Kızıl, Sinan Cem; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2017)
The relation between architecture and social change is one of the key themes in historical discourse of architectural theory. The tradition of criticality has been consolidated after enlightenment and it caused distrust towards norms of architecture. Even though this tradition of criticality eventually turns to its roots and criticises the ideals of enlightenment in postmodern discourses, it is clear that namely postmodern architectures still subjected to criticism similar to their modernist predecessors. I...

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...
