ARCHI-MIMESIS AS A DESIGN DOCTRINE

Year 2019, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 207 - 215, 01.04.2019

Abstract

This study was based on a discussion of the relationship between mimesis and architectural
design. Mimesis was accepted as one of the oldest and most basic concepts of artistic and
literary efforts, a method to learn and produce a representation of reality from ancient periods
to today. However, mimesis is not simply used as imitation, even in ancient periods. Mimesis
has a strong relationship with various parameters like the physical material reality of the
world, the era, the things the era brings, and the worldview, knowledge, and experience of the
designer. In this context, this study is based on the theorem of the internalization of the
objective world in the designing process and the mimetic approach in the designing process
by including individual approaches in the creation process. To test this theorem, a workshop,
conceptualized as “Archi-Mimesis,” and accepting mimesis as creative designing doctrine,
was organized. We describe Archi-Mimesis as mimesis or re-representation of the
architecture, which is different from other nature-based methods like biomimetic, through the
interface of mimetic methods maintained by considering reality through the creativity of
architectural design and innovation oriented structure.
