The thesis, Reading a Place through Invisible Factors of Urban Aura in Istanbul, focuses on the ways of reading, feeling and defining a place. When we look at a city as an architect, city planner or designer, what we see and what other people see and describe may be different. But what is essentially mentioned is the factors that make up the identity of that city. This thesis lists the factors that define and form a city by examining the concepts of city and identity. Keywords obtained as a result of theoretical researches are created. These keywords provide the framework necessary to examine the Samatya district chosen as a pilot. The physical properties of Samatya, which can be seen and measured first, were examined. It has been analyzed with unalterable facts that have been recorded in history, such as its location, texture and historical development. Later, identity factors that can not be seen but felt can be examined. His place in collective memory, historical places in mind, the events he experienced and his daily lives are examined. In line with these data, it was compared with the keywords created in the first section and the aura of Samatya and its indifferent features were determined. As a result of this thesis, Samatya has been defined with its history, life and place in memories. The factors that make up Samatya’s identity are listed and left a thesis showing how to reach this conclusion.
Il tema della tesi riguarda le modalità di lettura, percezione e definizione di un luogo. Osservare la città dal punto di vista architettonico include leggere i legami simbolici e conoscitivi che le persone mettono in atto in specifici luoghi con modalità e definizioni differenti. Ciò che emerge sono gli intangibili segni identitari che plasmano l’essenza dei luoghi. La tesi analizza i fattori che definiscono e formano le città, identificando parole chiave estrapolate dalle ricerche teoriche. Queste parole chiave forniscono il quadro attraverso cui esaminare il quartiere di Samatya scelto come caso studio applicativo. Sono state esaminate e misurate le proprietà tangibili e fisiche di Samatya. Infatti, elementi inalterabili sono stati registrati nella storia e nello sviluppo della morfologia della trama urbana. Accanto a ciò è possibile esaminare le intangibili componenti di identità che definiscono il senso del luogo, la memoria collettiva, i particolari eventi che ha vissuto e le sue “vite” quotidiane. Attraverso un confronto con le parole chiave estratte dalla letteratura si è decifrata l’aura di Samatya e si sono estrapolate le sue differenti e sfaccettate caratteristiche. Il risultato della tesi è quindi definire una metodologia di lettura che attraverso una matrice interpolante metta in relazione a più livelli i gradi tangibili e intangibili dei fattori che compongono l’identità di Samatya.

Abstract
The thesis, Reading a Place through Invisible Factors of Urban Aura in Istanbul, focuses on the ways of reading, feeling and defining a place. When we look at a city as an architect, city planner or designer, what we see and what other people see and describe may be different. But what is essentially mentioned is the factors that make up the identity of that city. This thesis lists the factors that define and form a city by examining the concepts of city and identity. Keywords obtained as a result of theoretical researches are created. These keywords provide the framework necessary to examine the Samatya district chosen as a pilot. The physical properties of Samatya, which can be seen and measured first, were examined. It has been analyzed with unalterable facts that have been recorded in history, such as its location, texture and historical development. Later, identity factors that can not be seen but felt can be examined. His place in collective memory, historical places in mind, the events he experienced and his daily lives are examined. In line with these data, it was compared with the keywords created in the first section and the aura of Samatya and its indifferent features were determined. As a result of this thesis, Samatya has been defined with its history, life and place in memories. The factors that make up Samatya’s identity are listed and left a thesis showing how to reach this conclusion.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
