This book explores how the concept of ‘region’ has evolved over time and shaped architectural culture and practice. It questions what the words ‘region’ and ‘regional’ mean for architecture, cities and landscapes past and present, and speculates on the forms they might take in the future. Region is explored in many thematic guises: as a real geographical site of evolving socio-economic activity; as a mythical locus of enduring value; as a gatekeeper of indigenous crafts and vernacular techniques; as a site of architectural and artistic imagination; as a repository of contested, conflicted and mobile identities. The contributing chapters take these themes from the theoretical and ...
Architecture and the urban are connected to challenges around violence, security, race and ideology, spectacle and data. The first volume of this handbook extensively explored these oppressive roles. This second volume illustrates that escaping the corporatized and bureaucratized orders of power, techno-managerial and consumer-oriented capitalist economic models is more urgent and necessary than ever before. Herein lies the political role of architecture and urban space, including the ways through which they can be transformed and alternative political realities constituted. The volume explores the methods and spatial practices required to activate the political dimension and the possibility...
Civic Spaces and Desire presents an original and critical appraisal of civic spaces for a novel theoretical intersection of architecture and human geography. The authors address civic spaces that embody a strong moral code, such as a remembrance park or a casino, in various places in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. The consecutive chapters of the book present these chosen spaces as the interconnection between the everyday and the ideological. By doing so the book reimagines the socio-political effects of the countercultural assemblages and ontologies of difference that these spaces produce, represent and foster, as presented through outcasts and nomads of vario...
Architectural Affects after Deleuze and Guattari is the first sustained survey into ways of theorising affect in architecture. It reflects on the legacy and influence of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in the uptake of affect in architectural discourse and practice, and stresses the importance of the political in discussions of affect. It is a timely antidote to an enduring fixation on architectural phenomenology in the field. The contributors offer a variety of approaches to the challenges presented in discussing the relation between affect and architecture, and how this is contextualised in the broader field of affect studies. Ranging from evaluations of architectural and urban producti...

M.Ö. VII. yüzyıldan başlayarak M.S. VI. yüzyılın üçüncü çeyreğinde vuku bulan Gök-Türk fetihlerine kadar Doğu İran, Toharistan, Soğdiyana ve Kuzey Hindistan coğrafyaları Avrasya bozkırlarının muhtelif atlı-okçu savaşçı kavimleri tarafından hâkimiyet altına alınmıştı. Bunlar arasında en meşhur olanlarını kronolojik bakımdan “Sakalar, Yüeh-chih’ler ve Hunlar – Chionit, Kidarit, Eftalit/Ak Hun” şeklinde sıralayabiliriz. Bazı bilim adamları bu atlı-okçu bozkır kavimlerinin menşeinin Altaylı olduğunu iddia ederken, diğerleri (ki bilim adamlarının önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır) onların Hint-Avrupalı oldukları görüşünde...
Türk târîhinin fecrinde, Merkezî Asya’da, mukaddes bilinen bir orman ve onun içinde sakladığı şehir, “Ötüken” adını taşıyordu. Ötüken Türk’ün hâkimiyetinde ise, Ötüken’de Türk kaanûnu cârî ise, Ötüken’de Türk Hükümdârı oturuyorsa, her şey yolundadır, her şey kolaydır, saâdet içre saâdet vardır. “Kut” sâhibi olmak, biraz da Ötüken’in mâhiyetine bağlıdır. Ötüken’sizlik, Türk’ün ters giden tâlihine alem olmuştur. Ötüken esirse, Ötüken yâd ellerde ise, Ötüken kirli ayaklar altındaysa, hayâtın mânâsı kalmamıştır, zilletin en dipsizine yuvarlanılmıştır. Aslında, Ötüken Yış, coğrafî olmanın çok ...
