Bir kaçış ütopyasının mekanları: Servet-i Fünun'un Yeşil Yurt hayaline dair bir araştırma

Throughout the history, humankind has created many utopias and has used the utopian vision to build the physical environment, govern the social life or just escape from the existing reality. In order to elaborate discussions on utopias, this thesis is focused on Yeşil Yurt which was created in the late 19th century by literary and architectural tools that later turned into a single realized building. Discussing Yeşil Yurt's interaction with architecture, literary spaces and utopianism, various architects', sociologists', political scientists', writers' and philosophers' thoughts and their utopian creations are analysed and then synthesized to create a framework. This framework will enable Yeşil Yurt, which is mainly a utopia of escape within the literary space of the Turkish intellectuals, to be studied in the general scope of utopianism and architecture.
