Özet

As the mobility and the fluidity in the society have increased and the economicactivities have been globalized for the last few decades, the contemporary city hasemerged as a rapidly changing dynamic phenomenon. Similar to the landscape,the city is an evolving, complex and layered system built as a result of naturaland cultural processes. In this current conjuncture, a static image of the urbansystem like figure-ground maps sounds archaic. Therefore, imagining the city asa landscape not only helps to reformulate the conceptual relationships betweenlandscape, architecture and the city but also provides new insights into how toorganize the urban space. This paper invites Landscape Architecture Theory to introducedynamic systems into urban practices that could contribute to the analysisand understanding of the contemporary city. Since the 1960s, landscape architecturetheory investigates spatial organization of dynamic systems through theecological models as a process-based design approach. Karşıyaka Urban CoastalRenovation Project (2012) in Izmir, discussed in this paper, is an urban designproject produced for renovation of Karşıyaka coastal area. The project approachedthe city as a landscape where natural and social self-organizing processes are expectedto transform the site. Therefore, the focus of the project was individuals’interaction with the environment at the social level and self-organizing nonhumanfactors as a living system as the natural phenomena. Rather than searching afixed and rigid spatial frame, the project investigated how self-organizing systemsgenerate a process based design approach to urban planning.
