Kitap, mimarlık alanının iç mimarlığı nasıl algılayageldiğini, bu çoğu kez küçümseyici algılayışın tarihte yavaşça nasıl ortaya çıktığını esasen politik bir okuma üzerinden inceler. Bütün bir meslek camiâsının kitlesel olarak böylesi bir hikâyeye bunca zaman nasıl kolayca inandırıldığının üzerindeki perdeleri kaldırmaya girişen kitapta, vaktiyle mimarların uhdesinde olan iç mimarlığın, bugün ayrı bir disiplin haline gelişinde etkili olan ekonomik ve politik gelişmelerin tarihi, farklı disiplinlerle bağlantılar kurarak incelenir. İnsanlığın yeryüzünde varoluşu, insanlığın biyolojik evrimi, yerleşme tarihi, teknoloji, sanat, ekonomi ve siyaset tarihi gibi alanlarla ilişkilendirilen mimarlık ve iç mimarlık arasındaki ayrışma sürecinin, kapitalizmin etkisiyle ciddi bir yarılma evresine ulaştığı iddia edilen bu kitapta, kutuplaşmanın ulaştığı boyut savaş kuramlarıyla ilişkilendirilerek de açıklanmaya çalışılır. Sözü edilen bu politik ve dolayısıyla mekânsal yarılma, emek-sermaye ve kent-kır çelişkileri bağlamında yorumlanmıştır. Yine, medya ve teknolojinin bu kutuplaşmada ve bu yarılmanın kamuoyundaki algısının şekillendirilmesinde oynadığı roller analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca mimarlık teorisini yönlendiren felsefi akımların bu küresel politik ajandaya nasıl hizmet ettiği, bunun mimar ve iç mimarların gündelik pratiklerine, mesleki örgütlenmelerine, eğitim sistemlerine ve kurumsallaşmasına nasıl yansıdığı incelenmiştir. “İç mimar mısın, dış mı?” sorusu üzerinden karikatürize edilme eğilimine maruz bırakılan iç mimarlık alanının geçirdiği bu tarihsel süreçte, vaktiyle bir bütün olan mimarlık-iç mimarlık çiftinin dış etkenlerle yıkılmaya ve düşmanlaşmaya doğru sürüklenen kadim birlikteliği, bir anlamda öyküleştirilerek de ele alınmıştır. Kitap bu ayrışmanın geleceğine dair olası senaryo önerileri ile sonlanmaktadır.

Therefore, architecture and urbanism can be considered as the spatial
dimensions of an ideological war of different interest groups in cities. Such a war mainly manifests itself as the polarisation between corporate sector and public sector, global and local, modern and traditional. Planning acts as a means of capitalist control over the urban (public) space under a macro-orthodoxy approach despite the public reaction via manipulation of public space through; microurbanism in urban-leftovers and queer-spaces, reclamation of landfills, and ephemeral architecture. A large body of community seem to resist through guerrilla war tactics of architecture against the comprehensive strategic war plans, technoscientific artillery, and devoted and well-trained troops of neo-liberal corporate bodies. Who will survive in such a relentless spatial war depends largely on the development of counter-strategies and accurate calculations based on game theory. The chapter will address the issue of reconstruction and resilience of cities with particular reference to the case of Istanbul, her transformation zones and conservation areas. Hence, the study will focus on urban paradigm shift and complexity of Istanbul as a multi-cultural, multi-layered metropolitan city in a post-modern era. The article intends to develop alternative strategies towards reshaping urban environment via architecture primarily by analysing the morphology of new urban spaces and emergent forms of life. Consequently, architecture of cities is argued as a para-military instrument for the tactical deployment of conflicting ideologies into an ongoing state of socio-cultural battle between opposing parties of the city.

Having conceived architecture and building practices as one of the leading economic activities globally, this chapter elucidates the role of architecture in creating business opportunities. The chapter tackles the subject from the perspective of technology and it analyzes the recent debates as well as developments in theory of architecture and building practice in construction industry. This chapter mainly argues that the ongoing paradigm shift moves beyond mere concern with environmental issues and creates an industry and economy of its own. The chapter introduces key concepts in the fields of green building and green architecture.

It elucidates the background of issues regarding the interaction between the fields of cultural production (architecture) and cultural consumption (tourism). The chapter argues that power of tourism industry has reached, under the pressure of global economics, to a capacity to turn even daily architecture into instruments of touristic show. In this context, technology is utilized as an instrument to produce such iconography only as a surface articulation. Thus, architecture becomes a commodity of touristic consumption in this current socio-economic and cultural context. The pressure of tourism industry seems to create a significant split between the architecture and its location in terms of specific cultural roots. This tendency is discussed as a potential threat to sustainability of tourism industry itself since it damages its own very source, that is to say, richness of cultural differences.

They range from classical excavations to subway constructions, underground sports halls, power stations, waste repositories, underground cities and many others. The construction techniques are also very varied, from open air excavation to newly developed injection methods.
The use of underground spaces is challenging to a wide spectrum of engineers, designers, builders and constructors. Structures constructed below the terrain require special attention in their design and safety assessment. This means that the knowledge needs to be significantly higher than for surface structures and hence the importance of conferences like Underground Spaces to reach a better understanding of the issues involved. This is particularly the case when preparing to build chemical, nuclear or toxic waste repositories, where serious environmental issues can arise.
This book contains some of the papers presented at the International Conference on Underground Spaces - Design, Engineering and Environmental Aspects, held on the Campus of the Wessex Institute of Technology in the New Forest. The Conference was launched to discuss not only the structural and environmental material characterization aspects but also the trends regarding the development of underground spaces.

The interior space is discussed as extensions of urban spaces and urban spaces as extensions of interiors with specific reference to a case study selected in Balıkesir urban fabric. Under the light shed by these discussions, the paper questions the certainty of boundries between exterior and interior, thus between interior design and architecture. While the first axis of discussion fo-cuses on the duality between interior and exterior, the second axis of discussion concentrates on the insertion of new and contemporary architectural and spatial features into an existing and historic context. The Museum and Library of Photography project in Balıkesir, which is selected as case study, is based on a VOID connecting what exists with what disappeared long ago in a totally new combination. Consequently, paper shows that architectural identity of the existing (and sometimes disappeared) heritage is reproduced via injection of this new hybrid (interior-exterior) into the very heart of the existing urban fabric. The hybrid design of the VOID intends to resolve the tensions between the contrasting features of restoration and intervention merely by understanding the conditions and fun-dementals of the process of historical layering in the town.

Bu sayede edinilen prestije sahip mimar öznenin, mevcut sosyo-ekonomik düzen ve bu düzende (her şeyi olduğu gibi) yapılı çevreyi (de) emelleri doğrultusunda şekillendirme etkisi ve yetkisine sahip ‘erk’ ile işbirliği sonucunda, mimarlığın içinin boşaltılarak, ‘retorik erbabı yeni mimar’ eliyle erke teslim edilip, onun her alanda uyguladığı zulüm araçlarından birine dönüştürülme süreci sorgulanacaktır. Bu doğrultuda kasten araçsallaştırıldığı iddia edilecek olan ‘kuramsal şiddet ‘veya ‘kuram terörü’nün (gerek mimarlık eğitimi ve gerekse uygulaması alanında) yol açtığı kavramsal ve somut sonuçlar tarihteki ve günümüzdeki örnekleriyle ele alınacaktır.

examines the nature of ongoing change in the design of
architectural spaces, in accordance with the profound conversion
in the nature of social existence on Earth. The study aims to
tackle the issue mainly from a morphological standpoint with
cross-references to sociological dimension of space. Recently,
some started to believe that virtues of modernity were not
capable of coping with the emerging diversity and complexity
brought by new bodies, who were gradually introduced into the
urban scene through democratisation. Therefore, the
de(con)struction of the canons of the modernism was the only
solution in order to achieve a new phase in the material
evolution of humankind. Spatial reflection of such an ongoing
social transformation, that is to say, a major shift from „an ideal
society centrally controlled by corporate groups‟ to a much more
pragmatic one with „flexibility of control systems‟ is of prime
concern in this study. In other words, a paradigm shift from
„rational and sensible‟ state to a „chaotic, yet, perverse‟ state of
human condition, in the name of freedom, is central to the
discussion of the evolution of space design. In brief, newly
emerging social and corresponding spatial phenomena seem to
have took over, our cultural landscape via guerrilla war tactics,
and was supported by scholars, who advocated the „death of
architecture‟ for the sake of proliferation of low culture. Albeit,
an initiative with good intentions of integrating all parties of
the community, turned out to be working against the sense of
community. Hence, the very same issues of social concerns seem
to have shifted from socialist rhetoric towards the hands of a
more capitalist rhetoric. Therefore, the new power and her
weapons should be disguised in a seducing new skin... Fluid
architecture of late 90‟s was the ideal new mediatic solution... In
result, values characterised by grace, coherence, consensus,
durability, order, have been replaced by pride, unquestioned
wealth, corruption, falsification, distortion, humour, irony,
nihilism, and „in-your-face-attitude‟ of the new generation of

citizens. Masochistic experience of contemporary urban life,
grotesque images of environment, the parasitic and violent
character of architecture, yet seductive outlook of their figures
have fascinated the minds of the new (yet perverted) urban
population. Hence, a fluid, vague, indeterminate archi-tectonic
language was becoming politically correct decor for a rapidly
eroding society. In fact, this new architecture should be
evaluated within the web of concepts like otherness, utopia,
fantasy, media, Post-Modern popular culture, consumption,
marketability, pluralism, as well as the shift in the conception
of “reality and simulation”.
In this study, it is argued whether architects, as spatial
artists, should shift their focus from the timeless qualities,
tectonic virtues and ethical principles of modernism towards
transient, ephemeral imagery of this fashionable formalism,
simply because, capital is shifting hand from the former-elite
towards neo-elite (formerly accepted as underground, grunge,
illegal, disapproved, etc.). The decision obviously constitutes a
fine line between architecture and prostitution in an age of
social hysteria, schizophrenia, fetish, frenzy, disintegration,
fragmentation, and thus, perversion. The argument is primarily
based on the question of whether new vocabulary of fantastic
images is an avant-garde formal jamborine, recurrent trend or
fashion-like movement, or alternatively a major breakthrough
in the sociological, epistemological, hence architectural
frameworks.

The urban history of Ayvalik, like many other waterfront towns, is associated with the story of water, i.e. Aegean Sea. The local culture, which is based on water in Ayvalık, has also
been the major determinant of social life. The physical reflection of this social fabric is easily read on the urban structure as well as in the waterworks. This whole can enable us to follow the traces of a morphological formation, which is a reminiscent of a “net” constituted by waterworks. Today, a gap can be observed in the relationship between Ayvalik and water. This relationship has been limited to the waterfront level by the impact of tourism. The vehicular road lying along the coast and the serving buildings, which altogether exhibits a wall effect, seem to have caused the nodes of above-mentioned network, in other words, the points where waterfront is connected to the water elements within the city, to break up from each other. However, the path lying along the coast has always been a coastal line emphasizing the connection rather than being an obstacle. Identifying the connection between coastal water and inner water elements, their clarification and revitalisation in daily life could be a preliminary step in the renewal of urban and water culture in the town. Should such a network and its nodes could be re-interpreted in connection with the historical, urban and architectural characteristics; it would contribute to the unique urban tissue. Such a reinterpretation should focus on the concept of “net” and its “nodes”, which can be accepted as a metaphor to complete the urban tissue. In this study, the waterworks, which act as the generators of urban regeneration proposal are analysed with specific reference to Ayazma building. The contribution of these buildings to physical and social stock, their location within the projected network, and their physical relationship with each other are scrutinised. Nets of building, life and water are reconciled with the proposed scheme in Ayvalik.
A multi-phase systematic framework for performance appraisal of architectural design studio facilities

Design/methodology/approach – The authors carried out a number of activities. These include reviewing the published literature to address the significance of the architectural design studio as a resource for students majoring in architectural design, and ascertaining the significance of post-occupancy evaluation as a performance appraisal methodology in educational facilities. On the development of the proposed framework, the authors carried out a case study in one of the studios of the Architecture Department at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The authors utilized a series of data collection methods, including hotographic
documentation, observations through walkthrough inspection, questionnaires and interviews.
Findings – The developed framework consists of four phases. It entails identifying the performance requirements of the architectural design studio; collecting data – through conducting walkthrough inspection, questionnaire survey and interviews – to ascertain the present performance level of the architectural design studio; analyzing the data gathered from the preceding steps and subsequent reporting of findings on the degree of user satisfaction with the architectural design studio space and
facilities; and developing a plan of actions in the form of recommendations to improve the conditions of the evaluated design studio. The case study served as a validation of the developed performance appraisal framework.
Originality/value – The architectural design studio is known to be the place where students majoring in architectural design generate, review and display their design projects. Previous research on the performance appraisal of educational facilities indicates that the comfort of the architectural design studio space is a significant aspect to be considered and maintained for the success of the architectural education process. The paper provides a systematic approach for evaluating the major
performance requirements of an architectural design studio. It is of practical value to space planners, design professionals, facility managers and administrators involved in the planning, design, operation and management of such facilities.

It is argued here that arabesque is a fusion of styles rather than a pure and homogenous style. Furthermore, the paper aims to show that although the arabesque style appears to be a fanciful and freely organized manner of artistic treatment it is based on a very complex mathematical logic which is expressed through abstractionism. In this context, the grammar of geometry is elaborately used in the implementation of abstraction. Here, general characteristics as well as different modes or types of arabesque are discussed. Starting with the etymological roots of the term, the history of its use in the literature is explored through the paper. After the inquiry of its material and pragmatic aspects, the development of the arabesque style is evaluated with regard to its transformations that took place along with its injection to Anatolia and mixing with Turkish culture. Finally, the morphological character of this fusion is put forward.

Urban design is described as a formal language. Underlying principles of urban transformation are argued as what constitute the grammatical structure of urban form and its change. Thus, socio-cultural significance of grammatical encoding inherent in the morphology of urban space is emphasised whereby geometrical relationships are utilised as
instruments of spatial analysis. Urban transformation is analysed in terms of rule-based, compositional systems called ‘formal grammars’. It is observed that there is a linguistic logic composed of an initial form of the design, a set of possible rules applied to this initial form, and recursive structures which define
the sequence, order and location of the rules applied to it. Formal grammars are proposed as a helpful instrument of understanding to the broader framework of townscape and morphological analyses prior to urban design.

It is argued that city is evolving as a hybrid (of technology and natural organisms), and that it is significant to convert existing information on cities into new technological format. Therefore, the parallels between the concepts of 'bodymachine complex' and 'contemporary city' are discussed on the basis of their common transformation processes. A scientific study of architecture and urbanism is advocated towards an understanding of cultural transmission encoded in urban transformation. An alternative process, leading to linguistic abstraction of urban form, is proposed as an analytical approach so as to enable coming to terms with dynamic mechanisms currently acting upon cities and transforming them into hybrid entities (i.e. an organic machine or a mechanical organism). Statistical approaches are interpreted within the scientific framework of urban studies for purposes of pattern recognition, with cross-references to linguistics, music, and science-fiction and new technologies. It is concluded that scientific innovation should not only increase technology but also promote a symbiosis of nature, history, culture, technology, economy and society, and that of nature and technology in the city.

Here, the notion of resilience is defined as life strategies developed by communities as well as critical interventions that oppose against government investments towards her re-configuring of the spatial economy to the benefit of a specific section of society instead of for all urban actors. In a political context of socio-economic segregation and polarization rather than poverty alleviation, attempts of suppressed urban actors to address highly specific developmental problems, to establish new relationships with a living planet, humility and, most importantly, to establish a sense of respect through diversity is analysed from a spatial perspective.

Ayrıca, gecekondu yerleşimlerinin pozitif kentsel ve kamusal değerlerini hala barındıran Küçük Armutlu mahallesi, Türkiye kentleşme tarihinde ‘gecekondulaşma’ sürecinden ‘çarpık apartmanlaşma’ sürecine geçmeden, gecekondunun özgün vernaküler niteliklerini bugüne dek taşıyabilmiş ve Istanbul kent dokusu içinde nadir bulunabilecek bir örnektir. Bu anlamda bu kentsel dokunun kültürel mirasolarak korunmasına dair fikir geliştirilmesi de bu yarışmanın öncelikli hedef ve kriterlerindendir.
Pir Sultan Abdal Kültür Derneği Sarıyer Şubesi, yarışma kapsamında geliştirilecek iyileştirme ve dönüşüm fikir üretimlerinin yerel olanaklar gözetilerek geliştirilmesini önemsemektedir. Yarışma, arka planındaki eşitlikçi ve komünal görüşe dayalı olarak, gönüllülük esası üzerine çalışan düzenleme ve değerlendirme ekiplerince, rekabet ve maddi karşılık barındırmayacak şekilde, ‘eşdeğer ve ayni ödüllü’ olarak düzenlenmiş olup, eşdeğer ödül sahiplerinin biraraya gelerek önerilen fikirlerin olanaklar ölçüsünde sentezlenip uygulamaya koyulacağı bir çalıştayla sonlanacaktır. Bu çalıştay, kolektif bir üretimin sonucu olarak mahallede kalıcı bir yerinde iyileştirme örneği oluşturacaktır. Bu mütevazı örnek, bugün Türkiye’de tartışılmakta olan dev kentsel dönüşüm projelerine karşı barınma hakkı için mücadele eden halkın tutunacağı bir dal olacaktır.

The interior space is discussed as extensions of urban spaces and urban spaces as extensions of interiors with specific reference to a case study selected in Balıkesir urban fabric. Under the light shed by these discussions, the paper questions the certainty of boundries between exterior and interior, thus between interior design and architecture. While the first axis of discussion focuses on the duality between interior and exterior, the second axis of discussion concentrates on the insertion of new and contemporary architectural and spatial features into an existing and historic context. The Museum and Library of Photography project in Balıkesir, which is selected as case study, is based on a VOID connecting what exists with what disappeared long ago in a totally new combination. Consequently, paper shows that architectural identity of the existing (and sometimes disappeared) heritage is reproduced via injection of this new hybrid (interior-exterior) into the very heart of the existing urban fabric. The hybrid design of the VOID intends to resolve the tensions between the contrasting features of restoration and intervention merely by understanding the conditions and fundementals of the process of historical layering in the town.

The re-reading of city form is mainly based on the critical interpretation of the mechanisms of urban morphology in relation to both global economic impacts and associated building boom as well as to the means of perception of urban space particularly by different strata of the urban realm. Thus, urban morphology of Arab city is analyzed as a medium which manifests a gradually increasing discrepancy between the social structure and the physical container of the public realm. Emergent urban scene seems to depict impressions of fragmentation and segregation, whereas the society itself claims to have intrinsic unity, integrity and synchronization. Thus, the paper proposes judicious and critical planning policy instead of the direct import of global urbanarchitectural typologies.

Indeed, sound has long been devised as a tool so as to control people and urban realm. The paper discusses the politics, aesthetics and social character of urban soundscape by elucidating the materialized shape of sound, that is to say; the close relationship between architecture and sound, between materiality of the physical form and its audio-spatial experience to understand how soundscape is controlled by architectural means for establishing power over masses and class segregation in various contexts. Similar to the case of physical-landscape, the soundscape in various types of buildings also manifests the idealized power relationships in any society through the control of sound in architectural space. Therefore, the auditory characteristics of these spatial precedents are elucidated in this study. It is argued that sound is a very political entity and auditory mechanisms are utilized for the purposes of both surveillance and suppression of political opponents. The paper intends to demonstrate that sound has a very dark history under the disguise of grandiose aesthetics, and thus, it is very important in establishing power. Spatial typologies are classified according to their auditory functions in relation to establishing power in urban realm.

It elucidates the relationship between differences of traditional shopping spaces from contemporary shopping places and differences of traditional behaviors of shopping from contemporary behaviors based on the methodological observation of the behavior of the shoppers within both types of shopping places. Starting with an overview of the evolution of the typology of shopping spaces in historical context, the paper investigates the social dimension of shopping activity and defines the shopping spaces as a reflection of social behaviors associated with the cultural context. The paper, then argues the impacts of global economy on the transformation of both the shopping behaviors of individuals and societies as well as those of shopping building typologies. The study develops a specif...

The city form is subjected to a re-reading arguments of which are based on critical interpretation of the mechanisms of urban morphology in relation not only to the impacts of global economy and building boom but also to the means of perception of urban space by different strata of the urban realm. Thus, urban morphology of the city is studied as a medium which manifests a dissociation, and thus duality, between social structure and its physical container. The paper further argues that uncritical import of urban and architectural typologies seem to create a peculiar type of urban-architectural forgery that is usually reduced to skin-deep façade mimicry. Particularly, solo performances of shiny high-rise buildings and sharp contrasts of street fronts between main art...

This paper aims to argue whether the conservation issues regarding earth architecture in S audi Arabia are materially or culturally based with specific reference to Ibrahim Palace since it represents this conflict. The paper suggests that the problems regarding the architectural heritage conservation in Saudi Arabia are threefold; material, cultural and philosophical.

The paper focuses on the cartographical information about the major cities in the Saudi Arabian Peninsula associated with the period between late 18 and early 20 centuries. This study was mainly conducted as a survey through the archives that have hitherto been kept closed for research purposes in Turkey. Therefore, a considerable part of sound and concrete information and evidence on Saudi Arabian town planning and urban design, particularly during the Ottoman era, was missing. This paper intends not only to make an inventory of the available maps and plans produced during the period between late 18 and early 20 centuries available in the Ottoman Archives of Turkey, but also to analyze this cartographical information through methods of the discipline of urban morphology and derive basic princi...

It argues that music and street performances are conceived and therefore utilised as sonic acts of political struggle in urban realm. Starting with a general understanding of hearing mechanisms, the study elucidates the relationships among territoriality of soundscape, identity construction, social segregation and polarisation, and finally, power struggle. Within the framework of the intersection area of these concepts, the paper discusses the processes of politisation of soundscape through music as a form of protest event that is performed in public realm. Throughout the paper, it is focused on the significant cases of public protests as well as political events that occured in public space. The main emphasis is on the use of sound technologies to impose power on masses of people. The paper tackles the question of how the salient characteristics of soundscape are sonically adopted as means for counter-political acts in public realm.

It is argued here that arabesque is a fusion of styles rather than a pure and homogenous style. Furthermore, the paper aims to show that although the arabesque style appears to be a fanciful and freely organized manner of artistic treatment it is based on a very complex mathematical logic which is expressed through abstractionism. In this context, the grammar of geometry is elaborately used in the implementation of abstraction. Here, general characteristics as well as different modes or types of arabesque are discussed. Starting with the etymological roots of the term, the history of its use in the literature is explored through the paper. After the inquiry of its material and pragmatic aspects, the development of the arabesque style is evaluated with regard to its transformations that took place along with its injection to Anatolia and mixing with Turkish culture. Finally, the morphological character of this fusion is put forward.

It elucidates the background of issues regarding the interaction between the fields of cultural production (architecture) and cultural consumption (tourism). The chapter argues that power of tourism industry has reached, under the pressure of global economics, to a capacity to turn even daily architecture into instruments of touristic show. In this context, technology is utilized as an instrument to produce such iconography only as a surface articulation. Thus, architecture becomes a commodity of touristic consumption in this current socio-economic and cultural context. The pressure of tourism industry seems to create a significant split between the architecture and its location in terms of specific cultural roots. This tendency is discussed as a potential threat to sustainability of tourism industry itself since it damages its own very source, that is to ...

Having conceived architecture and building practices as one of the leading economic activities globally, this chapter elucidates the role of architecture in creating business opportunities. The chapter tackles the subject from the perspective of technology and it analyzes the recent debates as well as developments in theory of architecture and building practice in construction industry. This chapter mainly argues that the ongoing paradigm shift moves beyond mere concern with environmental issues and creates an industry and economy of its own. The chapter introduces key concepts in the fields of green building and green architecture.

The urban history of Ayvalik, like many other waterfront towns, is associated with the story of water, i.e. Aegean Sea. The local culture, which is based on water in Ayvalık, has also been the major determinant of social life. The physical reflection of this social fabric is easily read on the urban structure as well as in the waterworks. This whole can enable us to follow the traces of a morphological formation, which is a reminiscent of a "net" constituted by waterworks. Today, a gap can be observed in the relationship between Ayvalik and water. This relationship has been limited to the waterfront level by the impact of tourism.

The history of communal life and human settlements has always been associated with the history of shopping. Traditional shopping districts have been vibrant public realms. Nevertheless, social harmony and unity observed in traditional societies have been fragmented by global socioeconomic changes. Consequently, today's shopping places are dislocated towards the outskirts of traditional town. Hence, old town centres are neglected causing them to lose their value as traditional spaces enhancing public interactions. Therefore, morphological characteristics that maintain the unity between shopping activity and social fabric in traditional shopping space should urgently be clarified. Along this purpose, morphological characteristics required for revitalising traditional shopping spaces of Balikesir are analysed. Consequently, it is aimed to develop a new methodological basis for formulating cultural, spatial transformation of shopping spaces.

Thus, how qualities of urban setting are filtered into design projects that are developed in the city, particularly in schools of architecture is of interest. Hence, an excavation through four successive layers: city, architectural school, design studio and student projects are conducted on the basis of their spatial organisation and architectural features. This analysis follows an historical overview of the morphological evolution of the urban tissue and an overall examination of the curriculum with reference to a particular case study selected from a small town university in Turkey, Balikesir University, Department of Architecture. It is of interest to know whether the deficiencies of the city make a negative impact on the students of architecture since city displays an anti-urban character. The methodology, called 'negative patterns', is adapted from Alexander's pattern language, working in reverse manner.
