AB  - This article explores the question of whether it is possible to achieve such a physical ideal inbook design as the one Le Corbusier discovered in his architectural practice with his Modularsystem, which captures the ideal scale and architectural/spatial form. This questionis particularly examined in relation to Jan Tschichold’s studies of standardization in bookdesign, while also considering the physical transformations the book object has undergoneover the centuries. There exists an intrinsic relationship between architecture and book design.This relationship can be evaluated in two poles: one where designers perceive the bookas a complete structure in terms of its object and page design, and another where architectsstrive to reconstruct their architectural practices within the space of the book. Consequently,the study includes perspectives not only from Le Corbusier but also from contemporary architectsand designers regarding their practices and views on the book as an object. Withoutaiming to reach an absolute conclusion, this article discusses the possibilities of attaining anideal form in the book object within the context of architecture and book design.

N2  - Bu makale, mimarlık ve kitap tasarımı bağlamında kitap nesnesinde ideal bir form eldeetme olasılıklarını tartışmaya açmayı hedefliyor. Tartışma, Le Corbusier’in Modular sistemiylekeşfettiği ideal mimari ve uzamsal ölçeklendirmeye kitap tasarımında ulaşmanınmümkün olup olmadığı sorusuyla başlıyor ve bu soru, kitap nesnesinin yüzyıllar boyuncageçirdiği fiziksel dönüşümler de göz önünde bulundurularak özellikle Jan Tschichold’un kitaptasarımındaki standartlaştırma çalışmalarıyla bağlantılı olarak tartışılıyor. Mimarlıkve kitap tasarımı arasındaki mutlak ilişki, tasarımcıların kitabı, nesne ve sayfa tasarımıaçısından tam bir yapı olarak algıladığı, diğeri ise mimarların mimari pratiklerini kitabınmekânında yeniden inşa etmeye çalıştıkları iki kutup üzerinden değerlendirilebilir. Dolayısıylamakalede yalnızca Le Corbusier’in değil, aynı zamanda çağdaş mimar ve tasarımcılarında kitap nesnesi üzerine pratikleri ve görüşleri de dikkate alınmaktadır.
