Item An analysis of skyscrapers in Istanbul - Sabancı Center, Metrocity Millenium, Kanyon in terms of zoning regulation mechanisms(Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2015-04) Alkan, Seda Nur; Uçman Altınışık, IşılIn the end of 19th century, skyscrapers have arisen as the unique type of architecture especially in Chicago and New York. From the beginning until today, “how to build tall” has been one of the crucial questions during plan, design and construction phases. Even though the technological developments in materials and methods of constructions -elevator, steel, skeleton system- have provided opportunities to build taller, the desire of enacting the tallest skyscraper has constantly been a problem of height whether during design and construction processes or later with its influences on the city. However, skyscrapers have not only generated ‘the problem of height’ but also ‘the problematic of bigness’ in terms of their physical characteristics and interrelated relationships. As well as their dimensional bigness, the multiple correlations of designers, constructors, planners in city scale and approvers and their cooperation with each other have constituted the problematic of bigness. What is intended with bigness here is explained in accordance with Koolhaas’ expression in the Chapter 3. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate how the zoning regulation mechanisms -zoning laws, legislations and plans- as the scientific rationalities discuss and generate solutions for the skyscrapers in Istanbul while considering them as the problem of height and the problematic of bigness in scope of the filters: ‘design objectives’, ‘product of technology’, ‘sites of construction’ and ‘real estate developments’. In Istanbul, as a strategy, there is not a definition and limitation about skyscrapers in zoning laws, legislations and plans. In that case, zoning laws, legislations and plans determine zoning plans as the decision maker. Lacking of definition and limitation about skyscrapers in zoning plans has generated the tactic that creates legal loophole for the opportunity of skyscrapers erecting. The role of zoning laws, legislations and plans are evaluated here in the aspects of Certeau’s strategy and tactic definitions. Sabancı Center, Metrocity Millenium and Kanyon, which stand on Istanbul, Büyükdere Avenue, are selected as case studies. The scope of this study is to establish the fact that there are not specific zoning regulation mechanisms about skyscrapers and the current zoning laws, legislations and plans are not satisfactory, effective and applicable to discuss, define and restrict skyscrapers as the problem of height and the problematic of bigness.
