Abstract (EN)

When the structure as the object of architecture is positioned as an entity in the universe, the concept of time is included in its relationship with the user. Many subjects encountered with the structure via temporality produce an experience with the mentioned architectural object. Some parts of the experience developing between this object and subject can be predicted by an expert architect, thus can be included and represented in the architectural knowledge. However, some structure-user relationships cannot be represented in architectural knowledge due to the unknowability brought by randomness. These unrepresented experiences represent a void from the architectural perspective. However, the events that occur in the unrepresented part of the object of architecture present a different reality about the object than the one represented by the architectural expertise, namely, the knowledge. These knowable and unknowable, represented and unrepresented experiences about the object, which are included within the knowledge and not yet included, are interpreted in the thesis as a problem of truth about the object. In the architectural literature, the truth about the object is revealed by the concepts represented by architecture. For this reason, in the thesis, Alain Badiou's philosophy of truth, which takes the concept of truth from the represented elements of the object and connects to the unrepresented aspects, was used as a model, and a new perspective on the object of architecture was put forward by the unrepresented parts of the experiences of architecture. The 'Koolhaas Houselife' documentary, which presents a truth for Maison de Bourdeux designed by Rem Koolhaas with its aspects not represented by architecture, was used as a case study to discuss the new perspective proposed by the thesis. This new perspective of truth, which is approved with case study, opens a new understanding about architectural object's truth that occurs from the events arising from the relationship between the architectural object and the user.
