THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONSTITUENT AND TURGUT CANSEVER PROJECTS

Abstract

The neighborhood is described an administrative fragment of the urban area as a settlement
scale. The neighborhood unit is an important urban scale in terms of the physical structure and
development of the city. Order, improvement and beautification in society (Felekoğlu, 2000) start with
social relations and interactions. With the definition of Cansever, which is based on the concept of
neighborhood in Turkey," while it is the Ottoman-Turkish neighborhood where the relations between
the garden and nature, the neighborhood and society are lived the most intensely and having privacy,
when it comes to the day, the neighborhood is a place that there is a limited space trying to find itself among the modern urban spaces, and it points out a cultural structure rather than an administrative
structure (Baday, 2011). Considering this process, it seems that there is a change in the existing
neighborhood formation. For this reason, With the axes of Cansever's slogan that is stated as
"building a beautiful world, beautifying the world, people have the principal obligations and
responsibilities for future generations." The architectural projects designed in the city and
neighborhood’s scale have been examined in the sociological and architectural context. The new data
to be generated is targeted to contribute to the conceptual infrastructure preparation and drafting
processes of new neighborhood to be formed.
