Erişen, Serdar
The interrelated togetherness of environment, city and architecture are in a flowing relationship into each other that create a unity under the general term aesthetics. Aesthetics defines the interaction between the human and its environment creating the knowledge of humanity, called as culture, including experiences and relations between phenomenological and intellectual identifications. The environment in the borderlines of the nature is intersected with the power of nature of subjectivity giving the exact form of the cultural. The city environment, in that sense, is directly engaged with the understanding of aesthetics and the direct relationship of the body with the world of objects ordered in social, economic, political and ecological aspects which are under the effect of mass communication and consumption
