“…Historiography as an activity of reconstruction, is evaluated in terms of three main approaches such as constructive, reconstructive and deconstructive. Reconstructivist approach that has been deriven from the constructivism, suggests that history can be known and re-written as it originally was, while the deconstructivist movement lead by a group of writers such as Jacques Derrida, Hayden White, Keith Jenkins, has construes the act of reading historical events and boundaries of the documents as an act of reconstruction (Durmuş, Öymen Gür, 2017). According to the traditional perspective, what comes to mind in terms of text is the written word.…”

Architectural production is a text. Texts; while producing the new based on the other, architecture needs, production social life, technology, the geography where it is produced, etc. It is formatted by references before it, as well as elements. Blending this production into architectural education must be carried out adding readings on architectural design conception and teaching the articulated power of the theoretical structure of design. The need to rebuild, reinterpret and reproduce knowledge in the mind of each individual in their own way necessitates the questioning of the need to surpass the centred position that teaches the teaching method of the studio. The aim of this study is to prove the possibility of a method that by incorporating architectural texts and theory books into undergraduate education makes these texts more comprehensible, by demonstrating the contributions of these courses in architectural design studio. In accordance with this purpose a methodology suggestion has been tried to read and understand texts as part of production in architectural education. This methodology is formed by superposing steps towards understanding architectural theory texts through critical reading with learning steps towards transforming the text from conceptual maps to images. This way architectural education is rendered a whole with design and theory altogether and as a result, subjective construction of knowledge defines the key concepts of design studio as criticism and reconstruction.

“…In academic literature, Usûl is considered a fundamental text for demonstrating the evolution of historical consciousness and the development of an evolutionary scheme for the history of Ottoman architecture (Baydar 2004, 22;Baydar Nalbantoglu 1989, 60-66;Ersoy 2007, 117 and2015, 4;Necipoglu 2007;Tanju 2007;Tanyeli 1990, 24;Yazıcı 2003, 12-19). Likely the earliest rhetorical text on Ottoman architecture (Durmuş and Gür 2017), Usûl is supposed to have had two crucial functions: the legitimization of Ottoman architecture as a unique historical phenomenon in reaction to the claims of some Western art historians (Necipoglu 2007, 143) and the proposition of a linear evolution of Ottoman architecture akin to Vignola's classical orders within Greek architecture. Usûl articulated this evolutionary scheme through scaled drawings of Ottoman buildings and their ornamentation.…”

This article applies a critical approach to rethinking the relationship between nationalism and Ottoman architectural historiography by examining the intellectual medium during the late Ottoman period. More precisely, it examines how the history and theory of Ottoman architecture were initially established by Tanzimat (Reform) intelligentsia with the publication of Usûl-i Mimâri-i Osmani (Fundamentals of Ottoman Architecture) (1873). It addresses how the text was later comprehended and criticized by their successors, who utilized it to constitute their own vision of Turkish national architecture. By detailing the rise of the Turkish nationalist movement and the transition from Ottomanism to Turkism as the dominant identity, this article highlights the demand for the materialization of a national architecture as a component of the cultural construction of a national architectural style and the role of new public buildings as the site of nationalizing endeavors at the beginning of the twentieth century. Finally, this article problematizes the extent to which these new constructions can be deemed “national” by investigating the works of a pioneer figure of architecture, Kemaleddin Bey’s writings and the design and construction of his dormitory building, the Fifth Vakıf Han, in Istanbul.

“…It is not a new term and takes its roots from antiquity. However, it is constantly updated due to its potential and its meaning may evolve in different directions (Durmus, 2014). Reading and writing the city are an urban interest that aim to reveal the rhetorical relationship between narrative and architecture and its expression (Durmus Ozturk, 2021).…”
