Hi every one !
Last days, I went to an exhibition in Çağdaş Sanatlar Merkezi located in Kennedy street in Ankara. Civil architecture structures are exhibited which are constructed in between 1930 and 1980 in Ankara. Each one is an cultural value for architecture. In this exhibition, the aim is to demonstrate the preciousness of their architectural property and their architect. The structures are the first examples of the modern architecture in Ankara. And other aim of this exhibition is that the structures must be protected.
Compare to the construction time of the structures, radical decisions exist. For instance; relation between landscape and structure, their massive forms, roof gardens, usage of linear and vertical elements, form of staircases, dynamism of their façade.
All of them has a unique form and they reflected architectural property of their period. Not only the exterior design of the structures has a unique form, but also interior design of the buildings has a unique form. Especially staircases of the structure have a different style. It is obvious that they were designed. They are dynamic architectural elements for interior of the structure.
But also dynamic forms were used in the façade as ornament. They have also unique forms in that time. Their forms have a rhythm, and they create a dynamism façade of the buildings. They do not allow to become common or ordinary to the structure.
And, when constructed the structure, different materials were used because of the improvement of technology. Lastly, I want to mention about the relation between landscape and the structure. Some of them were constructed in sloping landscape. In spite of sloping landscape, the solution of they problem is very impressive. Especially in Cinnah 19, that is more obvious.
All of them create an architectural sensibility. And all of them must be protect. They are cultural values for architecture.
