Kent ve planlama tarihi boyunca
şehrin kaosunu ortadan kaldırmak amacıyla çeşitli şehir düzenleri geliştirilmiştir.
Sanatsal kategoriler içerisinde kent yer almazken, kentte aranılan estetik
ölçütün şehirsel düzen ve dokudaki görsel düzenlilik olduğu iddia edilmektedir.
Bu araştırmada amaç tarih boyunca geliştirilen şehirsel düzenlerin
farklılıklarını belirlemek ve kentin estetik bir değer taşıyan sanat ürünü
olarak tezahürüne katkısını tespit etmektir. Araştırma sayısız düzen
çeşitlerinin özniteliklerinin analizine dayanır. Araştırma bulguları görsel
düzensizlik olarak görülen şehir düzenlerinin “yaşadığımız sanata” imkân
tanıması sebebiyle kentin sanat eseri algısını güçlendirdiğidir. Araştırmanın
en önemli sonuçlarından biri uyumlu biçimsel unsurların, emics ve etics
kanunlara ve bir parçası olduğu doğaya göre doğru ve uygun yerde olması
sonucunda ortaya çıkacak olan şey, fiziki anlamda görsel bir düzensizlik
tanımlasa bile “güzelleştiren bir güzellik” yarattığıdır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Sanat, kent planlama, kent tarihi, şehirsel düzen, görsel düzensizlik, güzelleştiren güzellik

City as a Work of Art: Visual Irregularity

Öz

Through the history of urban and city planning,
several urban orders were implicated in order to eliminate the chaos of city.
It is stated that the criteria of a city’s aesthetic is determined by the
visual regularity of urban order and pattern, whereas the city is not involved
in the classification of art. The purpose of this article is to determine the
differences of urban orders that appeared in the history of city planning and
to argue the contribution into the manifestation of the city as a work of art,
with an aesthetic value. This study depends on the analysis of the features of
various urban orders. The findings of the study is that the urban orders, seen
as a visual irregularity, strengthens perceive of the city as a work of art, on
account of enabling a “living art”. One of the main results of the research is
that the urban order which was constituted by the formal materials, located in
an appropriate place according to the emics and etics and also the nature, produces
“a beautifying beauty”, even it creates a visual irregularity.
