A Research On The Representation Of Turkish National Identity: Buildings AbroadZelef, Mustafa Haluk 01 January 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis is the result of an attempt to record, classify and develop an
understanding of the motivations and dynamics in the design and realization of the
buildings that explicitly or implicitly represent the Turkish identity abroad. In the
meantime it is aimed to reflect on and identify the function of architecture and
buildings in the formulation and representation of national identity. Besides the
analysis of the meanings assigned to the architectural forms, one underlying
intention was to clarify how different aspects of architecture and building processes
could play roles in the construction and representation of national identity within
the context of the embassies, monuments, exhibition pavilions and centers for
cultural and religious purposes.
During the analysis of these architectural works, basic mechanisms of the concept
of identity and its repercussions in relation to physical milieus -i.e. its
comparative nature, its reception by the others- are tried to be elaborated. Cases
other than the Turkish case are referred to when necessary. Viewpoints of variety
of actors in the realization of these works -i.e. architects, diplomats, statesmen and
contractors- are analyzed to elucidate the similarities and differences of
approaches.
iv
Besides the role of international relations, the dominant social, political and
economic characteristics in different historical periods of Turkey and their
implications on the buildings abroad are exposed by this study. Reactions of the
architectural discourse in Turkey to those characteristics concerning the national
identity, i.e. foreign architects, globalization, and promotion of architects by the
state, are elaborated. While some themes are perennial at the discursive and formal
level, variations of attitudes regarding the host context are observed in the study.

Axel Einar Hjorth – arkitekten som glömdes bort : om Nordiska Kompaniets chefsarkitekt och svensk art déco / Axel Einar Hjorth – the architect who was forgotten : an essay about the head architect of Nordiska Kompaniet and Swedish art décoCarlsten, Susanna January 2008 (has links)
Denna uppsats beskriver möbelarkitekten Axel Einar Hjorths karriär och produktion med fokus på åren 1927-32, hans första sex år som chefsarkitekt på Nordiska Kompaniet. Genom att undersöka några samtida tidskrifter försöker uppsatsen även utröna hur Hjorth mottogs under sin egen tid, samt varför han var förtigen i svenskdesignhistoria så länge. I uppsatsen ingår flera möbelanalyser vilka syftar till att beskriva Hjorths stil och bredd samt tidens smak. Uppsatsen visar att Axel Einar Hjorth ofta ritade internationellt orienterade möbler i ren art déco, men också stilmöbler, funktionalistiska seriemöbler m.m. Art déco var en stilriktning under mellankrigstiden, men i Sverige talar vi ofta om ”Swedish Grace” eftersom mycket konsthantverk under denna tid fick ett något svalare klassicistiskt uttryck än övriga länders. I Sverige har art décon eller ”Swedish Grace” ofta hamnat i skuggan av funktionalismen, som fick större genomslagskraft. Det är en av anledningarna till att ingen akademisk text tidigare har skrivits om Axel Einar Hjorth. / This essay describes the carrier and production of the architect Axel Einar Hjorth, with an emphasis on the years 1927-1932, his first six years as head architect at Nordiska Kompaniet. The essay also tries to inquire into how Hjorth was recieved by contemporary press and explain why he was forgotten about for many years. The study shows that the furniture designs of Axel Einar Hjorth was very international in it´s style. Instead of calm classicism the furnitures often have strong references to art déco, a style that didn´t grew big in Sweden. The essay includes several furniture analyses where the aim is to show Hjorths versatility. Hjorth designed both art déco furnitures, period furnitures and more modernistic furnitures etc. One of the reasons why so little has been written about Axel Einar Hjorth and art déco in Sweden is that the funktionalism won the debate with it´s socialistic ideas, which made art déco a short-lived style.
