Abstract

Examining the architectural actions, Turcs that have
founded many states throughout the history are observed to have maintained the
transfer of their culture, which has been shaped with different dinamics such
as regime, ethnic diversity, geography, religion and has followed a natural
flow even though factors has changed from time to time, to the early 20^th
century. The 20^th century of Turkish architecture has come to a
point where it serves to the efforts of creating a new identity that has
strayed from its natural line as a result of an ideological movement worldwide.
Even though the movement that was expressed as the National Renaissance of
Turkish architecture and demostrated its impact on public buildings during its
period has later been called National Style, given its starting point, architectural
components and referances, how accurate it is to be called national is open to
debate. In this study, the First National Architectural Movement and the Second
National Architectural Movement that have impact on the early 20^th
century particularly are dealt with in terms of identity issues and ideological
approaches of Neo-Classical Architecture inTurkey.
