Küçüktaşdemir, Güliz; URBAN INTERIORS: ARCADES IN ANKARA MEMORY, (1950-
1980), Proficiency in Art Program Thesis, Ankara, Ağustos 2018.
This research was conducted in the post-Republican period of the 20th century in
Ankara. It is a study about arcades. The study takes 'place' is Ankara. Ankara is being
studied includes the years 1950-1980 when deep-rooted changes in the socio-economic,
cultural and political environment took place. Regarding this study, Ankara is at the center of
ideological, social, bureaucratic, and political structuring that makes the new 'capital' ideal as
the heart of the nation. In its scope, the study, which deals with the routines of the city, is
structuring its area on the basis of everyday life practice. Yenişehir and urban spine 'Atatürk
Boulevard', which defines a new 'face' in the desire to create a modern city, has created new
spatialiaties of social mobility and commercial approaches in urban space. Thus, urban
interiors, which are examples of thesis examinations, are the means of everyday life as an
extension of urban space and reading tools of the period. Thesis subject studies are
Kocabeyoğlu, Ülkealan, Zafer and Soysal Arcades. Through arcades, this research suggests
an alternative reading to the monumental typologies which is publicly presented. In this
manner it adresses directly to the 'urban perspective'. Thesis subject studies are
Kocabeyoğlu, Ülkealan, Zafer and Soysal Arcades. In this context, the sample structure is a
documentary between the social dimension and the past and the future. It is a structural
analysis that constitutes building documentation with its technical dimension and aims to
carry them to future generations.
As of 1950, the concentration of the global nature of political, economic, capitalist
organization influenced the model city proposition to the face and walls of Ankara. Thus, it
brought about socio-economic transformation. As of the second half of the 1950s, Yenişehir
supported the urban rotation of individual / collective daily life and played a key role in the
formation of urban culture and western consumption patterns. The industrialization strategy
for import substitution led to the change of the demographic characteristics of Ankara, which
acquired the capital function, and the transformation of its daily habits. In this context, the
renewed sense of state and the urban / public interior spaces in the formation of the social
space describe as the viewer of transformation. Examples which are produced and examined
within the thesis by 'place-specific' and 'place itself' are period representations. The method
of research is a new model in the field.

The mixed methodology that structured the source of the urban / public interior
experience over the memory of 1950-1980 was evaluated in the qualitative data analysis
method. The model's core is acquisition of transferring production and transfer of
information to the future. Within the scope of original evaluation method and the mixed
methodology, sample arcade typology studies and oral testimony are basis on the theoretical
infrastructure of everyday life. Practices of everyday life are examined with the subtitles and
theoretical background determined by the thesis writer. Thus, the periodic memory of
Yenişehir was taken into consideration by its individual and collective dimension. The oral
testimony itself has presented the cross section of social history that has not been quoted in
the history of architecture and history, and has taken 'the memory of the ordinary' as a tool of
periodical representation. Urban observation is a tool for carrying out the transmission of
urban stories. Through the use of official history writing and alternative sources, the physical
and semantic qualities of the arcades, which are enriching the urban life and which are part
of the city, were evaluated and the daily life of Yenişehir and the urban user was examined.
In conclusion, the main purpose of the study is to discuss the elements of memory, that is
changing, transforming, and disappearing. In conclusion, the main purpose of the study is to

environment.
