Abstract

Several theories have been developed for the design of urban spaces throughout the history. Urban design theories are based on different concepts. In this paper, three studies are examined: Urban Space (1979) of Rob Krier, A Pattern Language (1977) of Christopher Alexander, and The Social Logic of Space (1984) of Bill Hillier. First, the outlines of the studies are presented. Then they are examined in terms of how they explain the concept of urban space and how they analyze the urban space. Finally, they are discussed in terms of epistemological paradigms. Krier emphasizes historicism and interprets urban space through typological and morphological point of view and analyses. Alexander, providing a structuralist perspective, evaluates urban space through functional relations and needs. Hillier could be considered a post-positivist as he constructs a mathematical and geometrical representation of space and builds social connections upon this representation.

Özet

Kent mekânlarının oluşumu ve gelişimi için, tarih boyunca pek çok kuram geliştirilmiştir. Kentsel mekân kuramlarının dayandıkları noktalar kavramsal olarak farklılaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bir mimar olan Rob Krier’in “Urban Space” (1979) isimli çalışması, yine bir mimar ve aynı zamanda bir akademisyen olan Christopher Alexander’in “A Pattern Language” (1977) isimli çalışması ve bir sosyolog olan Bill Hillier’in “The Social Logic of Space” (1984) isimli çalışması irdelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada sırasıyla ele alınan eserler önce genel hatlarıyla açıklanmış, sonrasında mekân kavramını ele alış biçimleri irdelenmiş, üçüncü adımda mekânı analiz ediş biçimleri sunulmuş, son olarak da üç bakış epistemolojik açıdan irdelenmiştir. Krier tarihselliği vurgulayarak mekânı tipolojik ve morfolojik olarak analiz ederek yorumlamaktadır. Alexander, mekânı fonksiyonel ilişkiler ve gereklilik üzerinden değerlendirerek yapısalcı bir kavrayış sunmaktadır. Hillier ise mekânın matematiksel ve geometrik temsillerini oluşturarak ve sosyal bağlantıları ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflediği çalışmasıyla post-pozitivist bir tabana oturmaktadır.
