Abstract

Bu makale, önceden bir havaalanı olan Tempelhofer Feld’in büyük boşluğu ile ilgilidir. Berlin’in göbeğinde, tarihsel geçmişinden azade, işlevsiz, atıl ama devasa boyutlarda bir alan olarak duran Tempelhofer Feld’in formel ve enformel aktörler tarafından tartışılan olası geleceği Henri Lefebvre’nin kapitalist toplumlarda mekanın anlamlandırma, tasarlanma ve deneyimlenme konusunda geliştirdiği üçlü şema üzerinden irdelenecektir. Bu üçlü arasındaki diyalektik ilişkiler bu alanı hem yukarıdan hem de aşağıdan üretilen bir ürün yapar. Bu çalışmada bir “boş gösteren” olan Tempelhofer Feld, mekânın kullanım ve değişim değeri ve kent hakkı üzerinden tanımlanacak ve okunacaktır.

AN "EMPTY" SPACE AMONG PLANS, BORDERS AND UTOPIAS: THE TEMPELHOF FIELD

Abstract

This article is about the huge emptiness of the Tempelhof Field, which was an airport before. In the heart of Berlin, free from its historical past, it remains a dysfunctional, passive but an enormous area. In this article, the potential future of the Tempelhof Field, which is debated by both formal and informal actors, will be discussed in relation to Lefebvre's spatial triad regarding perceived, lived and conceived spaces in capitalist societies. The dialectic relations among these three make the field a product produced from above and below. In this study, the Tempelhof Field will be examined and read as an “empty signifier” through the concepts of use and exchange value of space and as well as the right to the city.
