Course Objectives: This course aims to survey the culture of modern architecture and design in Turkey with a focus on specific themes and key architectural figures. The study of selected architects and designers from different periods in history will enable students to explore and recognize new relations between architectural education, profession, discourse and practice. Tracing the origins of key debates in modern architecture and design back to the end of 19th century will provide students with new analytical tools to reevaluate the current architectural culture by situating today's "star" architects in a historical trajectory.

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
I. explore new analytical tools to define the particularities of architectural design culture in Turkey from the early 20th century to the present
II. reevaluate standard historical categories and narratives which have influenced the making of a mainstream history of modern architecture and design in Turkey
III. comprehend the ways in which architectural education, profession, discourse and practice are closely interrelated
IV. compare the culture of modern architecture and design in Turkey to other local cultures of modernism and postmodernism.

Course Content

This critical survey explores various themes of modern architecture and design in Turkey in a historical perspective. From the formation of early 20th century "nationalist" architects to the contemporary “star” architects, the course aims to focus on the common grounds of architectural education, profession, discourse and practice by complicating the standard historical categories and narratives. As an alternative to stylistic movements, selected architects and designers representing different periods will be studied in depth.
