MIM 452 - 20. yy Türkiye Mimarlığı

To provide a general overview of the Turkish architectural milieu from the beginning of the twentieth century to the end of the century, and to equip students with fundamental knowledge of the developments, trends, and transformations that shaped this period

The course examines the architectural production of the first quarter of the twentieth century, commonly referred to as the First National Architectural Movement; the period between 1930 and 1940, known as Republican Architecture; the period between 1940 and 1950, identified as the Second National Architectural Movement; the period between 1950 and 1960, characterized by the widespread adoption of the International Style; and the post-1960 era, marked by pluralistic architectural approaches and diverse modes of production.

There is no mandatory course textbook; however, in addition to the notes taken during the course, Doğan Hasol’s 20th-Century Turkish Architecture is particularly recommended as a supplementary resource.
