Arch 463 Modern Turkish Architecture.
Bilkent Department of Architecture.
Arch 463 is an elective course aimed at junior and senior students. The course aims to introduce architectural developments in Turkey from 1900 to the present within a socio-cultural framework, with a particular emphasis on the interrelationship of architecture and political developments.
The course begins with weekly discussions on known secondary sources on architecture in the Turkish context. The students "dissect" the texts to produce a shared repository. By the second half of the course, we have a repository of notes derived from the readings. The second half of the course proceeds with individual research reviews. Every semester the end product of the course is short monographs either on a specific architect or an architectural type or a topic. The short monograph texts are always coupled with "maps", that are the visual representation of the students' narrative.
