Özet:
This article discusses the dwelling concept formed by the Modern movement in Ankara
between 1950-1960 within the scope of “Yeşiltepe Buildings” and it evaluates this era with
the phenomenological approach of Heidegger. This approach, as a criticism of the idea of
Cartesian space, presents an approach that gives particular importance to the human being
experiencing the space (as Dasein) and human perception and it also enables to question
the understanding of singular space that has been introduced with Modernism. The
alienation that has been imposed by Modernism has been appraised with the opinions of
Heidegger in this research that has been carried out within this scope. Structured query has
been limited to the “Yeşiltepe Buildings” and the new life style introduced by the new order
has been analyzed via this example. The study is an area study where qualitative research
techniques have been applied.
