Reading National Architectural Project Competitions Through User-Space Relations

In national architectural project competitions organized by allocating high-level labor, time and budget with the goal of functional, technical and aesthetically qualified artificial environment production, spatial/formal use problems may be exposed, as opposed to large-scale expectations and resources. Results of user–space relationship reflecting theory-practical differences; law, cost, ideology, sub-process operation, etc. factors indicate the presence of a problem slice in the string. The research focuses on the relationship of spatial and formal problems encountered in the results of national architectural project competitions with sub-processes. The analysis of this network of relationships requires the determination of the capacity to meet user requirements in three-dimensional space and equipment and the analysis of subjective/objective structured data transmitted as input to the competition sub-processes in a synchronous manner. In this context; Bağ-Kur General Directorate Site and Turkish Pharmacists Association Social and Cultural Facilities, which were put into service as a result of national architectural project competitions; were evaluated during the usage process, on the other hand, data on the competition sub-processes were obtained. The results of the evaluation studies and the sub-process documents were examined together. As a result of the research; i) It was determined that both artificial environments contain user interventions, spatial problems and capacity problems. ii) It has been documented that a significant part of these occured in the sub-processes of the competition based on the lack of objective inputs. iii) Suggestions that can provide forward feed to national level competitions have been presented.
