Kamusal Alanda Sanatın Nehir Kıyısı Kentsel Tasarıma Etkileri: Amasya Örneği

Öz

Amasya, içinden Yeşilırmak’ın geçtiği, nehir kıyısına tarihî Yalıboyu evlerinin konumlandığı çok katmanlı bir şehirdir. Zaman içerisinde nehir kıyısına çeşitli müdahaleler yapılarak alanın turistik bir çekim noktası olması sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Yalıboyu evleri ve Yeşilırmak’ın güneyinde Mağdenüs Köprüsü ile Taş Köprü arasında kalan alanın doldurulması ile yapılan Yalıboyu Promenatı, 2000’li yıllardan sonra üzerinde sanatın da yer aldığı kamusal bir mekân olmaya başlamıştır. Sanatın nehir kıyısı kentsel tasarımları nasıl etkilediği ise bu çalışmanın çıkış noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı Amasya’da nehir kıyısındaki kamusal alanda bulunan sanat eserlerini incelemek ve bulundukları tarihî alanda kentle olan ilişkilerini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada Lynch’in kentsel mekân okuma tekniği olan odak noktasındaki işaretlerini temsil eden sanat eserlerinin kent içindeki yerleri tartışılmıştır. Bulgular, insanların nehir kıyısında gezerken karşılarında tarihî bir doku varsa kamusal alanda sanatın beklenen etkiyi gösteremediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Kamusal alanda sanatın ısmarlama işler olmaktan öte, yer ile uyumlu ve vurgulu olması ve kenti canlandıracak şekilde tasarlanacak yeni kamusal alanlarda yapılarak farklı odak noktaları oluşturması ise gelecek öngörüsüdür.

Contributions of Art in Public Space to the Riverside Urbanity: Amasya Examplar

Öz

Amasya is a multilayered city with the Yeşilırmak river flowing through and historical Yalıboyu houses on the riverbank in the city center. This area has been the object of attempts to transform it into a tourist attraction. The Yalıboyu Promenade, which was built by filling the area between the Yalıboyu houses and the Mağdenüs Bridge and the Taş Bridge in the south of Yeşilırmak, started to become a public space on which art began to take place after the 2000s. How the art performed in the riverside area affects the urban design is the departure point of this study. The research question is whether the public artwork along the riverbank promenade contributes to the urban image. The aim is to investigate the artwork on the bank and discuss their relationships to the city. The methodology consists of one phase is about the urban reading method of Lynch, the positions of the artwork as focal points have been discussed. Findings show that in the existence of a historical texture, art fails to have the aspired effect. What fits better the future projection is to implement aesthetic public art to revive new urban areas designed in the public areas of the city for the different focal points.
