This study
explores the role of installation as a tool for urban spatial production,
focusing on the dual potential of creative interventions by artists or
architects and the improvisational participation of viewers. By connecting the
series of events triggered by urban installations to Guy Debord’s concept of
"constructing situations," the research proposes that the spatial
production potential of installations can be understood within this framework.
The creative, explorative, and interactive nature of installations allows for
the transformation of urban spaces into experimental spaces where spontaneous
action facilitates reconceptualization and reconstruction of space. This paper
argues that the ephemeral, experiential and communicational nature of
installations fosters free exploration of ideas and actions. Through a
localized lens, the research examines the installations produced by artists or
architects in urban space in a local context, Istanbul, through the
intellectual and actional contents formed in the context of the experimental
space they open. The installations are analyzed in terms of the spatial
awareness they create, the spatial interaction opportunities they provide and
the experimental spatial productions they realize in relation to the
socio-cultural structure of the local context. Ultimately, the study identifies
the key aspects that make installations experimental tools for urban spatial
production demonstrating how they can be employed to create urban spaces
through inventive, cooperative, and iterative processes of
experimentation. Accordingly it offers valuable insights for architects,
urban planners, and designers, highlighting how the use of installations in
urban spatial production can create an openness that embraces spontaneous
collective processes, fostering more participatory and sustainable urban
environments.
