ÖgeThose are neglected within the framework of anthropocene and their revival on architecture as a new understanding of the aesthetics(Graduate School, 2024-07-01) Samancı, Buket ; Gür, Elmira Ayşe ; 502211006 ; Architectural DesignThis research is based on the reflection of more-than-human thinking in the architecture discipline. It problematizes the negative impact of human-centrism on common life through architectural productions and aims to discuss the potential of critical thinking and possible aesthetical shifts framed by care in architecture with a more-than-human approach. Human-centrism is associated with the undesired consequences of the Anthropocene era, which emerged because of excessive human control over the planet where architecture stands on an extremely dominant point. With the more-than-human thinking, the potential involvement of the neglected non-human entities in spatial outcomes is the focus of this research. Keeping in mind that the concept of aesthetics, which is highly related to the architecture discipline, is shifted within the more-than-human understanding. Therefore, this study is framed by the main research question of "how to reflect more-than-human aesthetics on spatial design" and the sub-questions of "what aesthetics refer to on more-than-human architecture, can architectural practices within the scope of more-than-human be divided into two according to the temporality of care, how does aesthetics relate to the categories of more-than-human architecture, how to design as a practice of care for other-than-humans, what are the advantages and disadvantages of architectural spaces on more-than-human understanding." It aims to challenge the conventional aesthetic means of architecture and synthesize potential approaches. The thesis aims to fill the gap in the literature with an effort to bridge the gap between more-than-human aesthetics and architecture by producing new discourses on more-than-human architecture. The potential and change of aesthetics on this subject, which is the common keyword between anthropocentrism and more than human, is therefore located at an important point that can further the discussions in the literature and research methodology. The first chapter of the thesis includes the purpose, scope, and methodology of the research. In the second chapter, the reader is taken on a journey from anthropocentrism to the more-than-human understanding. In this chapter, each subtheme is reviewed over theory and architecture, by associating humancenterness with neglection and more-than-human with revival as well as the relation of the aesthetics to such concepts. The third chapter includes the concept of care and the architectural practices that has a caring attitude on other-than-human entities. Although spatial practices are selected according to their care for other-than-human entities, such practices are divided into two according to their temporalities with the concept of care. In the fourth chapter, qualitative methodology is described further. With the frequency analysis, the most used keywords are gathered from the literature review. Then, a multidisciplinary focus group interview is carried out with the contents of the previous two chapters in order to bring up not often considered disciplinary thinkings on neglected entities. As a research method discourse analysis are applied on the discourses gathered from and workshops held in the focus group interview, by juxtaposing the keywords from the literature, spatial practices, and focus group discussions. In this manner, this study enables to overview of the more-than-human aesthetics of caring architectural practices through different disciplinary perspectives. Moreover, as the result of temporalities of care, the categorization of more-than-human architecture are revealed with their related conceptual keywords. With the discourse analysis, the keywords of more-than-human architecture revealed as a conceptual vocabulary associated with the keywords from the literature. Lastly, the position of aesthetics has been opened to discussion with the keywords of architectural design as more-than-human aesthetics. Consequently, this research examines the potential and critical participation of the neglected nonhuman entities in human-made spaces, particularly in contexts where humans are not only in focus and where there are various focuses. It questions the power of aesthetics in perceiving the world as a collective construction of shared existence on earth, aiming to challenge anthropocentrism. In this regard, this research encourages the development of alternative thinking and practice within the field of architecture. It draws upon the inner aesthetics of care in architectural practices and explores unusual perceptions of the world, as well as the discussions on possible breakouts from the Anthropocene era.
