The glass façades manifests themselves as multi-functional building elements which also characterize the building itself.
In this context, this paper seeks to discover the potentials of glass material in façade systems, its design, production and implementation processes in Turkey. The processes will be illustrated through an application project.
Within the scope of the paper, several possibilities of the utilization of glass material will be evaluated. Firstly, these possibilities are introduced to the production process which is highly based on certain standardized options. By pushing the limits of production in market conditions in Turkey, plurality in design and expression can be achieved. In the paper, the opportunities of enamel coatings by silk-screen printing on façades as a new kind of skin design will be presented to convey the potentials of glass material in architecture. Secondly, an application of planar façade system with laminated glass interlayers will be presented in order to assess the design and application processes of this system in Turkey.
Key Words: glass, enamel coatings, screen printing, planar systems.

thinking, the ideal of creating a healthy society as a guarantee of progress and development. Health museums provided representation for
concepts of modernity and hygiene in a built environment by being spaces that displayed the human body and exhibits related to diseases,
hygiene, and medical developments. A modest building in scale and content, the İzmir Health Exhibition building of the İzmir Fair was analyzed
in this study to show how it contributed to 1920s and 1930s modern architecture in Turkey and what were the representational meanings of the
messages transmitted. The existence of this building, constructed in 1937 in İzmir, should be understood in the context of health policies from
all around the world, social engineering efforts, and the process of modernization. The building is an example of a use of modern architecture,
but of a type that is waning in popularity in today’s contemporary world. Looking back at this building today helps us understand the rising and
declining value of modernity in the discourse of hygiene and its effect on the field of architecture. The contribution of the İzmir Health Exhibition
building to early modern Turkish architecture is discussed with reference to similar exhibitions and museums around the world.

• The impact of institutions on the process of architectural competitions
• The evaluation of regulations in terms of quality, authorship rights, issuance of work, cancellation of the competition and types of competition
• Building production process after the competition phase
The paper is anticipated as a critical approach, which is focusing on the problem and proposing solutions to the phenomenon of competitions in our country within the process of getting more livable environments.

The spatial production of Kordon after nineteenth century can be summarized in four stages, and in terms of different power relationships: in the first, as a land of foreign capital under the structure of Ottoman Empire; in the second, as a restructured spatial pattern that had appropriated modernist understandings of the early Republic after 1920s; in the third, it had enlarged itself physically under the influence of market economy that had developed after a period restricted with state policies in 1950s; and finally in the fourth, under the influence of globalization and with a new understanding of beautification and renewal of urban spaces after 1990s.
This paper will focus on the spatial transformations taking place in Kordon after 1990s. Discussions on a new highway construction after 1990s opened up a new agenda for this place that was related with the recirculation of capital. As a result of the collaboration between municipality, central authority and capital power, Kordon, as a coastal land was filled up for to enable the construction of a highway. Although the physical structure had almost completely changed since 19th century, social life is traditionalized in Kordon and the highway that would be structured on the filled area would destroy the existing spatial practices and a few historical buildings that were left. The process turned out to be an urban struggle and let NGOs to establish a base of resistance against local authority.
The aim of this paper is to explore the power relationships concerning public demand, local authority and urban space and to discuss these relations within the context of Kordon, Izmir.
Key words: urban space, urban struggle, local authority, power relationships.
This paper seeks to discover new grounds as research materials for writing histories. One of the sources for these are the archive of municipalities (local governments) which keep lots of information on construction types, construction dates, renewal dates and materials, ownership, neighborhood relations, and the names of the architects of the period. All disposals for each parcel are documented in these archives as petitions for demolishing and reconstructing, requests for building regulations, architect assignments, etc. This data base, which is actually a collection of records about the construction of buildings, can be a useful ground for writing the history of places. Confronting with real names and events, petitions and letters written for the purpose of constructional changes, let us learn the unspoken or unwritten facts of the past.
Archive of local governmental institutions are not generally considered as spaces for research, but with the great amount of untouched material they represent a significant base for alternative historical writing and offer the materials of writing history from particularities. As they are not perceived as spaces for research, they are not organized with the requirements of a research area. In spite, they involve information on economical, political and sociological environments which are strongly related with the techniques of the time. This kind of information is needed especially for physical environments, which are constantly reproduced, and loose their historical knowledge without being documented.
In addition to the general function, content and the condition of accessibility of these spaces, some samples collected from the archive of local government in Izmir, Turkey will be presented to convey the potentials of these sources.

1958’de inşaatın başlamasıyla lüks otel tanımı kent hayatına kazandırılmış, kentin kollektif belleğinde unutulmayacak imgeler yaratılmıştır. Sonrasında otelin ünlü devlet adamlarının, politikacıların, sanatçıların ve sporcuların ziyaret ettiği kentteki en popüler mekânlardan biri haline geldiği görülür.
Başlangıçta Emekliği Sandığı’nın bir yatırımı olarak inşa edilen Büyük Efes Oteli ve benzeri oteller, kurumların zamanla güç kaybetmesi ve işletme sorunları yaşaması sebebiyle özelleştirilmiştir. Özelleştirme sonrasında otel sadece mekânsal olarak dönüştürülmemiş, ismi de değiştirilmiştir. Türk modern mimarlık tarihinde önemli bir yere sahip olan Büyük Efes Oteli uzun bir dönem kentin sembolü olmayı sürdürmüştür, ancak dönüşümler sonrasında kent belleğindeki yeri bugün için tartışmalı bir noktaya gelmiştir. Dolayısıyla, bu metin Efes Oteli’nin inşa süreci ve sonrasının İzmir’de kentlinin zihinsel coğrafyasında nasıl karşılık bulduğunu gazeteler ve dergilerin ürettiği söylemler üzerinden analiz edecektir. Çalışma, otelin 1960’larda işaret ettiği sosyal, ekonomik ve mekânsal durumu, yapının kent belleğindeki yerini ve son olarak da 2000’ler sonrasındaki yenilemelerle inşa edilen yeni kimliğini sorgulayacaktır.
