The urban transformation of the city of Ankara as a planned and constructed city with
stable configurations, definitive forms, limits and boundaries in scope of
modernization project of the country, is under the influence of new space-time
understanding with hybridizations, proximities, frictions, overlaps and
superpositions in neo-liberal era.
This thesis presents the rapid transformation of Eskisehir Highway which is the
development corridor of the city of Ankara. Eskisehir Highway is chosen in order to
reflect the complexity of the metropolitan condition of the city of Ankara. Eskisehir
Highway will be questioned as a vector which will be used as a tool to decipher
multi-dimensional dynamics of this complex urban condition which reconfigures the
new urban architecture with intensity, movement, direction and magnitude as
both the features of the vector and era.
The Highway as a vectorial urban realm is transforming itself and the nearby, with
the non-linear capitalist project production process. In order to understand this
transformation, the new urban objects of globalization will be examined as big
projects of large capital regarding the new relation patterns between architecture and
the urbanism under a framework shaped by the notions of movement-fluidity-
speed, intensity, direction and magnitude.
