- Abstract
Depending on life styles changing throughout the history, the nature of public spaces included in provinces has also changed. Public space is the only element that establishes urban articulation in spite of its functionally and morphologically differing features. The public space is an area not distinguishing but bringing people together. Due to sociological and economic reasons arising in postmodern period, city blocks that constitute urban space create privatized areas against urban integrity and public nature of urban. The interfaces that have been created by these planned but segmented city blocks with urban have transformed into a boundary due to their structural and functional features. This situation requires borders to be investigated as a new element of urban articulation. In this period, public spaces has get started to become indoor, homogeneous, private spaces occupied by similar socio-economic groups and physically isolated from other people. Indoor buildings that are the reflection of postmodern urban practices in this sense are important urban elements affecting the nature of the public space in postmodern period. The present study was discussed the issue regarding the change in the quality of urban public space, through the case of Göktürk in Istanbul. The aim of this study is to review the transformation of the public space from modern period into postmodernism through the concept of "boundary", and to discuss theorical findings through a fieldwork performed through Istanbul-Göktürk case and based on systematical observation investigating the relation of this concept with public space from the perspective of indoor housing settlements. Primarily, its relation with the concept of boundary and public space was reviewed in the study. The transformation of public space, in the scope of space arrangement in the postmodern urban wherein indoor housing spaces are included, was analyzed through two sub phases, including morphological analyses and borderline-edge analyses. As a result of the analysis of the boundary relationship between indoor buildings and public space, it was seen that public spaces will gradually disappear over time in case of the lack of space arrangement for the urban that will make progress and of organized public spaces. Göktürk, with its structure, fully planned, rigid, introvert, formed by coming urban patterns side by side, and not allow urban articulation, has become an indoor urban area. It transforms public spaces around itself into unused spaces by separating them from itself by durable, technological, and structural boundaries. Public spaces have become inaccessible, unused, and impermeable spaces for citizens.
