Environmental Anesthesia and False Vernacular Architecture: The Case Study of the Western Taurus Mountains

Year 2015, Issue: 18, 321 - 350, 01.06.2015

Abstract

The use of the term “vernacular” for architecture is grounded on a linguistic analogy1. In linguistics “vernacular” language is the characteristic tongue of a particular region. Vernacular can be regarded as a dialect entailing the adjectives “native” and “indigenous”2. It is assumed that a distinctive cultural identity is encoded in the linguistic patterns of everyday life. In time the term was applied to the field of architecture by assuming that cultural identity is encoded in the architectural patterns of everyday life. Then local culture is considered as a multifaceted and coherent whole whose patterns can be deciphered through different spheres of daily life3. These culture-specific patterns are handed down through successive generations, which leads to the establishment of architectural traditions4.

Çevresel Anestezi ve Sahte Vernaküler Mimarlık: Batı Toroslar Örneği

Year 2015, Issue: 18, 321 - 350, 01.06.2015

Abstract

Orijinal kullanımı dilbilimde gelişmiş olan “vernaküler” kavramı bir bölgenin yerel dilini ve özgün kültürel kimliğini niteler. Kültürel kimliği kodlayan mekânsal kalıpların nesiller arasında aktarıldığı ve mimari gelenekleri oluşturduğu düşüncesiyle bu kavram mimarlıkta da kullanılmıştır. Geleneksel vernaküler mimarlık düşüncesi kültür-çevre uyumu ve bütünlüğü fikirleri üzerine inşa edilmiştir çünkü vernaküler mimarlık yerel bağlamın girdileri ve bu girdilerin yorumlanmasını içerir. İnsan bu inşa sürecini düzenlerken çevrenin bütünleşik bir öğesi olur. İnşa sürecinde insan bedensel katılımıyla bütün duyularını yoğun biçimde kullanır. İnşa sürecinin çıktısı yerel çevrenin mimari problemlerine verilen en verimli yanıttır.
