Building Materials Industry and Architectural Practice/Culture in Early Republican Turkey
The medium of the architectural practice and culture has been one of the most significant domains, that the ideology of 'modernization' adopted by the proclamation of the Republic leading to vast social, cultural, economic and political changes, embodied in. And the realization of this ideal has been associated with the construction of modern cities in which modernization would become physically visible. In this context, the initiation of comprehensive construction activities in all Anatolian cities, especially in Ankara, has increased the demand for modern building materials. However, due to the fact that the inadequate and undeveloped building materials industry that has been inherited from the Empire, the early Republican years have witnessed the structuring of the building materials industry within the scope of the Republic's industrialization policies. This structuring process, which has been shaped by various administrative decisions and practices in relation not only to the architectural medium; but also to the historical breakthroughs have positive and/or negative consequences all over the world. These breakthroughs and consequences have played a deterministic role in building production of the period, as well as the development of the building materials industry. In this context, this article reveals the developments in the building materials industry during the early Republican period, the reflections of these developments on the architectural domain and the interrelationship between the building materials industry and medium of the architectural culture and practice, through a historical reading on the important thresholds of the period. The aim of the article is to create a theoretical discussion on the subject and to contribute to the literature, by introducing the development of the building material industry on a narrative that is based on the internal dynamics of the period, instead of focusing the technical qualities of the building materials.
