The thesis aims to examine how the formation of faç / ades, that is, the interface with a dual response both to interior functioning and exterior urban fabric, is separated from the totality of architectural design by new technological developments and design intentions. This aim is accomplished in three sections, respectively: analysis of the faç / ade, the properties and formation process in time / examining the faç / ade formation of the high-rise office buildings in Levent-Maslak area in respect to the analysis and examining the working principles and marketing attitudes of faç / ade manufacturing firms in terms of their role in faç / ade formation.
The focus is on the description of a faç / ade and the process that generated the autonomy in time is examined. In this sense, the thesis analyzes that the & / #8216 / free-faç / ade& / #8217 / application, by which physical autonomy is totally gained, transforms the faç / ade to a production element by using the technological developments and specifications of curtain-wall system in the
Turkish context, in particular in Levent-Maslak area. Besides the technical availability, the representational qualities of the new materials transform this production based character of the free-faç / ade to a more representational character as an object-faç / ade. Finally, the study investigates how the
technical knowledge inherent in the new faç / ade systems gives the authority,in formation process of faç / ades, to the manufacturing firms instead of the architect. It is therefore stressed that the changing role of the architect in the
formation process of faç / ades is often based on the working principles and marketing attitudes of faç / ade manufacturing firms at present.
