Yaşamın sürekliliğinin bir uzantısı olan “idealolanı arama” süreci boyunca toplumlar; dönemin koşullarına bağlı farklı mekânsalçözümler üretmiş ve bu çözümlerin bir kısmı mimari/estetik anlayışların vetoplumsal yapının değişmesine yol açmıştır. Bu değişimlerin en çarpıcıörneklerinden biri, Rönesans Dönemi Avrupa’sında ortaya çıkmış yıldız biçimliideal kent şemalarıdır. Savunma sistemlerine ağırlık verilen yıldız şehirler;kültürel, mimari ve estetik açıdan yeni bir akım yaratmıştır. Çalışmakapsamında Rönesans Dönemi Avrupa’sının politik ve kültürel kırılma noktalarıirdelenmiş, yıldız biçiminin ortaya çıkışı ve gerekçelerine değinilmiş,örnekler üzerinde karşılaştırmalı irdeleme yapılmıştır.

Through “searching for the ideal” process which is anextension of the continuity of life; communities generated different spatialsolutions depending on the conditions of the period, some of which altered boththe aesthetic and architectural understanding and the social structure. One ofthe most striking examples of these changes was the star-shaped ideal citydiagrams composed during the Renaissance Period in Europe. The star-shapedcities which focused on defensive systems created new trends through cultural,architectural and aesthetic aspects. Within the framework of the study; thepolitical and cultural breakpoints of the Renaissance Period in Europe havebeen reviewed, the emergence of star formation and the underlying reasons havebeen explained and the samples have been comparatively examined.
