Mekânda Olay ve Zamanın İnşası: Minyatürler ve Yapılı Çevre

Abstract

This study presents an analysis that shows that space design and representation are not only a matter of form and object, but also of the event aspect of space. The relationship between event and time in the built environment space is examined from an interdisciplinary perspective through the art of miniature. This analysis examines how Kemaleddin Behzad represents event spaces in his miniatures in relation to time, providing an alternative approach to designing and representing built environments. The analysis, conducted using a hermeneutic interpretation method, examines the spaces in the miniatures within the context of the event. It suggests how these spaces can contribute to the construction of the spatial aspect of the built environment. Hermeneutic phenomenology, as an interpretive method, is based on the principles of transformation and completion. Phenomenology in this context is not limited to the historical, formal, cultural, or technical aspects of space, but rather is concerned solely with bodily experience. The principle of transformation involves the transformation of the event in pictorial space into a text that can be read in the built environment space, detached from its origin. The principle of completion focuses on completing the incomplete representation of spatial forms in both disciplines through the mental construction process of the experiencer. The study hypothesises that spatial representation is dependent on the individual's experience of time, and that the body experiences two types of reality - immediate and experiential - when encountering space within the context of time. The findings support this hypothesis and suggest that spatial experience, representation, and design processes should be considered not only as a problem of form and object, but also as an experiential event reality of ongoing time.
