GÖZDE DAMLA TURHAN
Her Manifesto
Turhan underlines the concept
of globalization saying that since
the 1980s, globalization has
been one of the forces which is
shown up in social, economic,
cultural and political areas.
According to Sassen, there are
certain building types which are
serving as connection nodes in
order to be connected to the
global networks. These kind of
buildings such as airports, train
stations, metro stations, bridges
and high-rise buildings are not
only serving as connection
nodes but also where the timespace connections shows itself.
In order to see what the effects
are, these building types are
significant to be studied. As one
of the results of this research,
emerging land-use patterns of
global cities might be more
visible.
From the perspective of the
global companies, they need to
be in constant interaction with
the other companies and their
consumers so that they also
transformed the idea of where
and how to be located.
Turhan considers this idea and
claims that some assumptions
might be made about how the
cities
are
building
their
environment so it might also
contribute to the further
planning ideas in the future
through discussing physical
global environment with the
case studies.
Turhan support her manifesto
which is about the relationship
and impacts of two concepts
through giving case studies from
the other scholars and also she
tells about her own project:
«Informational City»
She approaches to the subject
also from the view of Castells
and says that global cities are
creating a network and since the
cities are involving into these
network.
