Este proyecto surge a partir de la necesidad de reactivar el boom gastronómico que se ha ido perdiendo, donde uno de los principales factores es la falta de inversión, reflejando la necesidad de contar con proyectos que fomenten la gastronomía. El distrito seleccionado será Ancón, ya que combina tres factores importantes que lo convierten en un atractivo destino, no solo turístico, sino también gastronómico. Factores tales como: La gran Herencia cultural con la que cuenta La enorme diversidad de recursos naturales que posee debido a su cercanía al mar Ancón es un balneario por excelencia Todo esto se traduce en un mercado gastronómico con un énfasis arquitectónico de flexibilidad, generando espacios capaces de adaptarse a lo largo del tiempo. Este proyecto cuenta con un terreno triangular con tres frentes, que compartirá la manzana con una edificación a mantener que es el Cuerpo de bomberos. Constará de tres niveles, siendo una volumetría permeable desarrollada alrededor de un patio central. El primer nivel constará de un pequeño mercado gourmet. Un segundo nivel con restaurantes con vista al club de la FAP y un tercer nivel totalmente abierto convirtiéndose en una terraza gastronómica. Un criterio importante en el proceso de diseño será la historia arquitectónica de la zona, donde prevalece la arquitectura republicana, de las cuales se tomarán elementos específicos que sean propios de la época, tales como el uso de teatinas. / This project arises from the need to reactivate the gastronomic boom that has been lost, where one of the main factors is the lack of investment, reflecting the need for projects that promote gastronomy. The selected district will be Ancon, since it combines three important factors that make it an attractive destination, not only for tourism, but also for gastronomy. Factors such as: 1.The great cultural heritage it has 2.The diversity of natural resources it possesses due to its proximity to the sea 3.Ancon is a beach by excellence All this translates into a gastronomic market with an architectural emphasis on flexibility, generating spaces capable of adapting over time. This project has a triangular terrain with three fronts, which will share the block with a building to be maintained that is the Fire Department. It will consist of three levels, with a permeable volumetry developed around a central courtyard. The first level will consist of a small gourmet market. A second level with restaurants overlooking the FAP club and a third level totally open becoming a gastronomic terrace. An important criterion in the design process will be the architectural history of the area, where Republican architecture prevails, from which specific elements will be taken that are typical of the time, such as the use of «Teatinas» / Trabajo de investigación

This study attempts to examine the architecture in Turkey during the Early Republican period as part of the social, economic and political context of the modernization process of the newly founded state, focusing on the case of the ismet PaSa Girls&amp / #8217 / Institute in Ankara. Firstly, the education of woman in general and the Girls&amp / #8217 / Institutes in particular are scrutinized in order to analyze the changes in the social role of women in the context of modernization in the Early Republic. Secondly, the relationship between women and the built environment is examined with reference to the changes women experienced in this context. The architectural context of the period is analyzed to examine the buildings of the Girls&amp / #8217 / Institutes as contemporary examples of the creation of a modern built environment in Turkey. Lastly, the building of the ismet PaSa Girls&amp / #8217 / Institute is examined in detail, by also making comparisons with other contemporary school buildings in Ankara. The building, which was constructed as a modernist school building by the foreign architect Ernst Egli in the center of Ankara, is evaluated as the representation of modern women and modern architecture for the new nation-state. So, the aim of this study is to assess the ismet PaSa Girls&amp / #8217 / Institute in Ankara as the example of contemporary educational institutions as well as of contemporary architecture in Turkey, corresponding with the attempt of the new nation-state towards modernization.

ABSTRACT ARCHITECTURAL INTERPRETATIONS OF MODERNITY AND CULTURAL IDENTITY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON SEDAD HAKKI ELDEM AND BRUNO TAUT IN EARLY REPUBLICAN TURKEY Uysal, Zeynep &Ccedil / igdem M.Arch., Department of Architecture Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Elvan Altan Ergut July 2004, 163 pages The thesis aims to reveal the decisive influence of the tension that stems from the contemporary searches for cultural identity on the architectural production of the early Republican Turkey. It attempts to demonstrate the conceptual and practical strategies that were devised in contemporary architecture for the resolution of the cultural tension by examining the architectural attitudes and practices of Sedad Hakki Eldem and Bruno Taut in the late 1930s and the early 1940s. In the first part, &lsquo / cultural identity&rsquo / is examined from within the general discussion of &lsquo / modernity&rsquo / , where the relevant phenomena, such as &lsquo / nationalism&rsquo / and the &lsquo / nation-state&rsquo / , are discussed. In the second part, the contextual developments and the architectural production of the early Republican period are examined through the theoretical discussions held in the previous part. In the third part, the architectural attitudes and practices of Sedad Hakki Eldem and Bruno Taut are examined and analyzed as to reveal the conceptual and practical strategies in the resolution of contemporary cultural tension. In the conclusion, the significance of the architectural attitudes of Sedad Hakki Eldem and Bruno Taut is re-stated in terms of their contextually sensitive efforts for the disband of the cultural tension in the light of the recent cultural theory.

POTENTIAL FOR POPULAR DISSEMINATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE &amp / #8216 / IDEAL HOME&amp / #8217 / DISCOURSE IN THE WEEKLY YEDiG&Uuml / N MAGAZINE TUNCER, Melike Usalp M.Arch. in Architecture, Department of Architecture Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ali Cengizkan April 2006, 179 pages The social transformations beginning by the end of the nineteenth century and the political and economic changes of the Early Republican Era (1923-1938) and the Transition Era (1938-1950) had important effects on Turkish architecture. The effects of the &amp / #8216 / new&amp / #8217 / and &amp / #8216 / ideal&amp / #8217 / life accelerated by the establishment of the new democratic nation state brought rapid changes and transformations to all aspects of life including housing. This study deals with the housing discourse in Yedig&uuml / n magazine which was published weekly during the single party era of the Republic. It was published weekly from 1933 to 1950 and was followed by a wide portion of the society, as an important popular magazine of the era. Its effort to present articles, pictures and news on housing and decoration for 17 years, with only short interruptions, makes it necessary to investigate these popular architectural products. In this study, it is claimed that the visual and the written material of Yedig&uuml / n magazine, related to house, is part of the theme of what is called &amp / #8216 / ideal home&amp / #8217 / . The investigation and analysis of the &amp / #8216 / ideal home&amp / #8217 / 2 discourse in Yedig&uuml / n magazine as a whole is useful in improving one&amp / #8217 / s understanding of the modernization practices of the newly established Republic of Turkey. Two methods are used in order to understand the visual and written materials in the magazine: the first one is the Visual Analysis Method described in the book &amp / #8216 / Reading Images: The Grammar of Visual Analysis&amp / #8217 / by Gunther Kress and Theo van Leuween. The aim by using this method is to decipher the relationship of the representative medium with the reader, treat the material as a whole. The second method is the analysis of the whole material in the context in relation with the architectural, political, social and economical events of the period, to investigate the construction processes of the discourse. Therefore, this study aims at understanding the action-reaction potential of the tools of the &amp / #8216 / ideal home&amp / #8217 / discourse of the Yedig&uuml / n magazine, by deciphering the visual and written material. Some results of the thesis show us that / both Arkitekt and Yedig&uuml / n magazines follow the agenda of the foreign publications in a similar way / the foundation for a sort of &amp / #8216 / collective union&amp / #8217 / namely &amp / #8216 / housing cooperatives&amp / #8217 / was set, by keeping individual home acquisition constantly on the agenda / problems of the new and modern life were tried to be addressed by Yedig&uuml / n as well as in the current architectural publications / these home presentations may be judged as &amp / #8216 / a catalogue of idealized ideas&amp / #8217 / or &amp / #8216 / two dimensional advice manual&amp / #8217 / , for early Republican Era home icons.
