READING MIXED BUILDINGS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PUBLIC SPACE: THE CASE OF ZORLU CENTER

Abstract

Mixed buildings bring together different functional units scattered throughout the city and show their users a new face of public space under a single roof. While the spatial qualities that shape the architecture at the design stage offer goals that improve public life, they highlight the continuity of the urban fabric within contextual implications. Large-scale mixed buildings are strongly involved in the urban pattern as a building typology that is being applied and scaled up more and more day by day; with its large volumes in the combined parcels, it determines not only the quantity of its own areas but also the quality of the urban area. Mixed buildings should have a feature that is responsive to human movements, and that communicates through the public spaces they create, not with two-dimensional surfaces in the areas where they come into contact with the city. Living and moving spaces are shaped by architectural structures and systems. In this sense, architectural spaces prepare the ground for the formation of contemporary experience beyond visual interaction. In the study, the changing qualities in the relationship between physical architecture and thematic formations that shape the design of Zorlu Center were examined through spatial analysis. These analyzes made on mixed building designs and discourses, which are at the center of current discussions, have brought a different perspective to the phenomenon of public space in memory with site-specific shaping and design decisions, and an infrastructure that will allow the production of information for new designs has been constructed.
