Reading the Novels of “1984” and “Brave New World” on the Relationship of Art and Architecture

Abstract

Art and architecture have always influenced each other, with their ever-evolving scopes. The
 relationship between art and architecture, which can be interpreted in many ways, has been read through
 literary works within the scope of the research. In this direction, two dystopian works named “1984” and “Brave
 New World” were determined as the material of the research with their literary value and their characteristics
 of being a qualified data source on the subject. The fact that these works contain predictions for the future
 and that they convey these predictions through contrasts such as “real-virtual” and “natural-artificial” have also
 been a factor in determining the works in question as research material. The works were analyzed with the
 method of content analysis and interpreted through the similarities and differences between the branches of
 art that they created in our minds and the discipline of architecture.
 The main purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between art and architecture and to search for
 this relationship in two selected works of science fiction literature. With the content analysis method, inferences
 were made on the concepts used to describe art and architecture in both works. As a result of the analysis, it has
 been determined that the disciplines of art and architecture are related in various aspects such as the feelings
 they evoke and the concepts they represent. In addition, it has been concluded that architecture has roles in
 science fiction literature such as conveying future predictions, conveying the concepts and messages to be
 emphasized to the reader.
