BİR BAŞKA MAHREMİN EŞİĞİNDE: TOPLU KONUTLARDA İÇ MEKÂN SORUNU

Abstract

While the industrialization process, which started in the 1950s in Turkey and accelerated with the development of transportation vehicles and technology, caused migration from rural to urban areas, it also made the first manifestations of irregular urbanization visible. The folklore practices acquired by the Turkish people, who came from the nomadic equestrian culture, under difficult living conditions, have been continued by maintaining a life in between in today's unsuitable residential architecture. Turkish people, who attach importance to privacy, have also opened the door to search for new solutions by building walls on their own understanding of life on the threshold of another privacy. In this article, it has been examined how the disappearing symbols, neighborhood relations, and the understanding of life integrated with nature have undergone a transformation in the transition from traditional Turkish houses, which have deep meanings related to Turkish life philosophy, to mass housing. In this context, it is aimed to convey the problems encountered in mass housing in the language of women with a total of 19 resource people in the sample of Istanbul, where the phenomenon of urbanization is the most intense. The research was carried out by interview and observation method, and sound recording were obtained. As a result of the findings obtained in the research, it was concluded that the standard architecture in mass housing could not connect with the Turkish philosophy of life and could not adequately respond to daily needs.
