TİMLO: READING POST-WAR CONSTRUCTION AND ARCHITECTURAL POLICIES THROUGH A COMPANY

Abstract

This study aims to provide an alternative reading of the housing production policies of Emlak Kredi Bankası, the pioneering institution in Turkey's housing production since the early Republican period, through its establishment of TİMLO (Turkey Construction and Material Partnership) in the early 1950s. TİMLO was one of several contracting firms established by the Bank between 1950 and 1980, intended to diversify the Bank's approach to constructing the built environment through construction practices, technical research, and the production of construction materials. Operating particularly in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, TİMLO executed the design and implementation of pioneering mixed-use housing projects at the individual and settlement scales. The study will first establish a general framework for the founding story of Emlak Kredi Bankası and its housing production practices. After briefly touching on other contracting firms of the Bank, the focus will shift to the establishment process of TİMLO and the housing projects it undertook. The spatial contributions of TİMLO to the modernization practices of the period, how these were reflected within its design framework, and their similarities and differences will be analyzed. As these relationships are established, it will become evident how they were realized within a network of actors in terms of design, implementation, and user relations, and how they contributed to the housing production practices of the period.
