Designing situations: Discovering and building spaces of interiority in public space

In this study it is aimed to re-question the scope of interior space in a conceptual discussion. As attributes of interior space, the concept of interiority which is defined as individual's most private abstract space and the concept of situation which is defined as the intersection of time and space are correlated. The data which has been borrowed from literature on situation and interiority later interpreted and embodied to a design proposal. First chapter of the study is the introduction which consist of the aim and the structure of the study. In the second chapter, movements in relation with the concept of situation and their spatial potentials have been analyzed. This part focuses on the Situationist movement and their theories. In the third chapter, the avant-garde architectural groups that have adopted similar approaches and practices of space production within the context of the Situationist movement and its predecessors have been analyzed. In the fourth chapter, concepts of interior and interiority have been studied and the changes in their scopes and qualities in the 19th century have been evaluated. According to the data on the second, third and fourth chapters, three situation potentials and spaces of interiority proposals have been produced as the outcome. As a result of these proposals the existence of spatial potentials of the situations and spaces of interiority have been brought for discussion.
