Product Description
In his book Çok Eski Adıyladır, Ece Ayhan speaks of “entering the sea civilian” in his poem Sivil, equating the word civilian with naked. A similar situation arises in Ayhan's book Şiirin Bir Altın Çağı: "A police officer, who thought he could intimidate us into not entering the sea civilian, once took our clothes and carried them all the way to the Dolmabahçe Clock Tower." In this text, Ayhan emphasizes not only the 'nakedness' but also the defenselessness of the word civilian.
Based on Ece Ayhan's texts and the placement of the word civilian within them, one can also speak of the nakedness and defenselessness of residential architecture within architectural history. Despite modernization establishing itself through housing and the most iconic buildings of modern architecture being residential structures, residential architecture – with a few exceptions – remains outside/is kept outside the power of history. The dominant narrative is mostly articulated through public buildings and spaces. However, in certain 'states of emergency', the ruling power, which decides who the exception is, incorporates the civilian residence into the dominant narrative; it ‘dresses’ it, in a sense, putting an end to its nakedness and defenselessness.
Like residential architecture, the architects of residential buildings are often naked and defenseless. To ensure the repetition of the same discourse, the dominant narrative often brings up the same architects. The rest remain hidden, despite their complete visibility, until someone emerges to speak of them, to ‘give them their clothes back’ in a sense.
This book aims to make visible the ‘civilian’ residential buildings constructed in Ankara between 1930 and 1980 that have not found a place in mainstream architectural historiography. In addition to detailed architectural analyses of these buildings, most of which are currently facing the threat of demolition, the housing policies of the period, the architects who designed the buildings, the user profiles of the buildings, and the living/housing cultures offered by the buildings are also the focus of this study.
The articles in this book were written as a result of research and data obtained within the scope of the Tübitak Project titled "Civil Architectural Cultural Heritage in Ankara Between 1930-1980: Research, Documentation and Development of Conservation Criteria", in which Nuray Bayraktar served as the project manager, Bülent Batuman, Umut Şumnu and Tezcan Karakuş Candan as researchers, and Ece Akay, Elif Selena Ayhan Koçyiğit, Yeşim Uysal and Emine Çiğdem Asrav as scholarship recipients.
