Grid means the guiding infrastructure of controlled formation. The modular grid allows modular coordination, and the use of modules can be seen as the foundation of "Formal Rationalism". We can trace this concept of form even in world’s deep cultural history. In the first half of the 1600s, Nicolaus Goldman's development of design proposals over grid in architecture should probably be considered as a result of the intellectual rationalization of the day. In the Modern Architecture Movement, the grid, which is a rational solution tool, has started to make room for itself once more. During sixties this grid-based scheme was soon applied by Schadrach Woods at the Free University of Berlin (1963), and University College Dublin (1964) which both have no urban context. Later university planning became a new stage for developing the idea of ‘grid-based mat-urban’ among architects world-wide. On the other hand, Anatolia, where Turkey stands today has rich historical architectural developments which can be seen as early samples of grid-mat architectures. Upon these heritage Modern Turkish architects contributed the development of modernist grid and mat architectures of the world by producing some very early examples. Here we want to introduce two of them from 1950s and 1970s in Turkey.
