Kamusal Alanda Özgürleştirici Müdahaleler: Parazit Mekânlar

Abstract

It is observed that cities are transformed into consumption-oriented presentation objects. Apart from the discourse of vanishing public space different practices which is aim to create new publicities have been developed by architects and urbanists. With acceptence of the space as a social product, to create the structural action space which is penetrated to a daily routine in order to social sustainability makes people free in public space. Being visible is added to the action-based approaches, and it reflects to architectural space as parasitic structures. With its articulated structure, it spatialized, dynamizes the place we look at every day but not see, and transform the spectator into an emancipated active agent. As a stage of the gazing action, the place transformed into agency space. And this urban space practice herald to get back to city. In this study, articulation of the agency space to urban space which is transformed into consumption and theatrical thing, it is presented as a method that will make the people interact with others. It is aimed to discuss the situation arising from the products of the experimental studio which aims to design the parasite structure on the E5 journey route, which constitutes the backbone of Istanbul. The studio's products emerge as a challenge to the normalization of existing static and defined space. The concept of agency-visibilityspectator will be re-examined through the architectural designs.
