I graduated and doctorated from the Department of Architecture. I am working as an academician in Turkey. My research fields are based on architecture theory and criticism, contemporary architectural history, architectural design knowledge, architectural language and representation, social production of space, linguistic landscape, and gender studies.

Research paper thumbnail of PUBLIC SPACE AS REPRESSION AND RESISTANCE MECHANISM: TOWARD GHETTOS TO EMANCIPATION

LIVENARCH VII, 2021

Socio-spatial readings on social movements that have emerged with both global and regional dynamics in the world draw attention to the strategic importance of public space for "the right to the city". However, this article claims that there are ontological contradiction and inconsistency in social reproduction of public space with counter politics to the hegemony through mapping of places of assembly of discriminated identity groups. This research on occupied or appropriated public spaces against hegemonic power in Turkey has revealed an ambivalence in their social productions, which have turned to public ghettos through socio-spatial restriction and surveillance of othered identities. In response, this study proposes a new socio-spatiality for emancipation by criticizing dialectical reversals in representational and practical production of public space contemplated as an "alternative" for power relations.

It is explored that these spaces, as the territories of the other or dissident subjects for resisting, socializing, and organizing, paradoxically create their own otherness and the hegemonic relations in the stable and invariable spatial ambiances, practices, experiences or borders. The main argument of the study, therefore, is based on the subversion overall dialectical reversal of ‘counter’ formation within space production as it is believed that they are forced to be converted into ghettos with these anomalies. In order to disclose such reversal within the morphogenesis process of the counter-spaces, the theoretical framework of this study primarily relies on the contemporary critical theory, Queer Theory. In this respect, the thesis attempts to construct an alternative spatial formation, which is independent from power relations, by re-...

Tasarım prensiplerinin ve standartlarının, patriarkal yapıya dayalı sosyal ve kültürel hayatın ihtiyaçları ve değer yargılarına göre belirlendiği, evrensel tasarım standartlarını oluşturan tasarım oranlarının ve ölçülerinin analizi ile ifşa edilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, antagonizmaya dayalı kimlik oluşumlarını temel alan mimari mekan çözümleri incelenerek, tasarım dünyasının heteronormatif dilinin deşifresini sağlamaktır. Mekanın nötr ve toplumsal süreçlerden bağımsız ele alınamayacağı, eril bir sistemin tasarım dünyasının epistemesini asimetrik cinsiyet rolleri üzerinden kurgulamasında okunur. Mekanın fiziksel üretimi üzerine kurgulanan her tasarım prensibinin "yapısalcı", "işlevselci", "belirlenimci", "indirgemeci" yaklaşımı özünde cinsiyet kimliklerinin dikotomik yapısını içermektedir.
