Challenging existing political analyses of the state of emergency
in Turkey, this volume argues that such states are not merely
predetermined by policy and legislation but are produced,
regulated, distributed and contested through the built environment
in both embodied and symbolic ways. Contributors use empirical
critical-spatial research carried out in Turkey over the past
decade, exploring heritage, displacement and catastrophes.
Contributing to the broader literature on the related concepts of
exception, risk, crisis and uncertainty, the book discusses the
ways in which these phenomena shape and are shaped by the built
environment, and provides context-specific empirical substance to
it by focusing on contemporary Turkey. In so doing, it offers
nuanced insight into the debate around emergency as well as into
recent urban-architectural affairs in Turkey.
The techniques used to represent architectural design are examined
in Representational Techniques for Architecture. A broad array of
methodologies for developing architectural ideas are described,
ranging from two- and three-dimensional conceptual sketches,
through to the working drawings required for the construction of
buildings. The book offers a range of practical drawing methods,
showing how to present and plan layouts, make conceptual sketches,
work with scale, use collage and photomontage to create
contemporary images, along with techniques to prepare and plan
design portfolios.The book also deals with contemporary computer
modelling and drawing techniques. In the second edition, 25% of the
material is new: many of the images have been updated, and new case
studies have been added, for example architect studios such as
Coophimmelblau and C J Lim/Studio 8 architects. Additional case
studies are drawn from American and international architectural
practices and studios. The most up-to-date CAD technology is
examined along with illustrations showing how it can be used to
create architectural models and plans. The enhanced project
sections encourage students to explore further the techniques that
they have acquired.
