oai:ojs.www.unisinos.br:article-32262021-08-30T19:09:20Z Breaking from Plato’s cave: Towards a holistic approach in urban housing in ?stanbul Fugindo da caverna de Platão: rumo a um enfoque holístico em habitação urbana em Istambul Özdamar, Esen Gökçe This paper aims to address the effects of speed as an urban fragment in the city and suggests finding ways to change perceptions toward the negative effects of speed in ?stanbul. It is supposed that changing our perception or ways of approaching the built environment can raise awareness or reactions that are steps to criticizing urban transformation from different perspectives. Thus, it is proposed that Plato’s cave allegory be taken as an example for the dwellers of Istanbul. This allegory can be represented in the urban realm through intertwined layers of construction. Against these layers of boundaries, Breaking from Plato’s cave is suggested as a metaphor for constructing an alternative strategy to change our way of perception of rapid construction in urban space. For the demolishment of the boundaries between the ideal and real worlds, which speed has aggrandized, there can be an escape by playing with the displayed reality through developing a holistic approach and a non-schismogenic artistic intervention. A dweller today needs to act in order to escape the invisible frontiers through unfolding reality. In breaking from Plato’s cave, there is a search for a way to break down this “reality” as it is perceived by many dwellers through play and active participation.Key words: speed, breaking from Plato’s cave, ?stanbul, urban housing, metaphorical thinking, holistic approach. Este artigo tem como objetivo abordar os efeitos da velocidade como um fragmento urbano da cidade e sugere encontrar maneiras de mudar as percepções em relação aos efeitos negativos da velocidade em Istambul. Supõe-se que mudar a nossa percepção ou formas de abordar o ambiente construído pode aumentar a consciência ou reações que são meios para criticar a transformação urbana a partir de diferentes perspectivas. Assim, propõe-se que alegoria da caverna de Platão seja considerada como um exemplo para os moradores de Istambul. Esta alegoria pode ser representada na esfera urbana através de camadas entrelaçadas de construção. Contra essas camadas de limites, fugir da caverna de Platão é sugerida como uma metáfora para a construção de uma estratégia alternativa de mudar a nossa forma de percepção da construção rápida no espaço urbano. Para a demolição das fronteiras entre os mundos ideais e reais, que a velocidade tem engrandecido, pode haver uma fuga, jogando com a realidade apresentada através do desenvolvimento de uma abordagem holística e uma intervenção artística não cismogênica. Hoje, um morador de Istambul precisa agir a fim de escapar das fronteiras invisíveis através de desdobramento realidade. Ao fugir da caverna de Platão, há uma busca por uma maneira de romper com esta “realidade” como ela é percebida por muitos moradores através de brincadeiras e participação ativa.Palavras-chave: velocidade, fuga da caverna de Platão, Istambul, habitação urbana, o pensamento metafórico, abordagem holística.
