This thesis is about the processes and attitudes behind building production as it is about architecture as such, and it aims at understanding architecture& / #8217 / s critical capacity and its relation to wider society. In this context, the differing attitudes and orientations in the construction of the residential environments in Dü / zce after the two unsettling earthquakes that took place in 1999 are believed to provide a study field, where the relationship between architecture and different economic, political and cultural structures that constitute civil society can be examined. Against this backdrop, our discussion will concentrate on the specific housing concerns and solutions proposed by three different groups, namely: & / #8216 / Solidarity Houses Project& / #8217 / realized by the villagers of Gö / lyaka, settlement proposal for Gö / lyaka prepared by the Project Implementation Unit of Prime Ministry and the struggle of the Dü / zce Depremzedeler Dernegi for tenants& / #8217 / rights.
The examination of these case studies will be based on our reading of Henri Lefebvre& / #8217 / s & / #8216 / Production of Space& / #8217 / and particularly his analytical categories: physical, mental and social space. The relation between this theoretical framework and the case studies will be a reciprocal one, in which the analysis on the three examples of house production will both utilize the analytical framework and be an instrument for understanding it. Although considered separately, the concepts we discuss in each chapter are inextricably interwoven. At the end what we aim to outline is a more total
picture of the character of the redevelopment processes after the 1999 Marmara earthquakes and represent architectural practice in its complexity.
