TToday, the world is facing global disasters that are observed one a er another. For some, this period, in which the influence of human beings reached the highest level G
on earth and entered an unprecedented process of change, is described as the stage where the Anthropocene age has come, whereas according to some the age of human EI S
is invalid. However, it is a fact that the problems related to climate change, social injus ce, wars, human rights, natural rights, and the protec on of social-cultural values
are increasing day by day. This inevitable crisis requires human beings to rethink these problems urgently. In this context, AR 402 Studio intends to invite humanity to re- D
n
h
think these issues. The process of rethinking requires a redefini on of the problems from the framework of today and genera ng new intellectual and spa al strategies
t i k A L
for solving problems.
Thoughts that inspired these strategies took place in different periods of history with the future predic ons that brought along and became the source of social, poli cal, R
and in parallel urban utopias (Plato, More, Campanella, Bacon, Morris, Wright, Le Corbusier, etc). Future predic ons are crucial in terms of expressing social problems in
their unique way and proposing solu ons. So is it possible today to generate a new intellectual debate and resilience against the predicaments of the human-induced
world? And what are the different ways of this social resilience? TCU ET
The studio aims to discuss these issues by focusing mainly on the concept of goodness and the other related concepts.

Keeping this in mind, the studio will look for ways to turn the spa al possibili es that can be produced at urban and architectural scales into a call to humanity.

We transformed the world, our living spaces brutally. This transforma on brought disasters to humankind. How can we produce an ac vist a tude for this ongoing situa- /A
e
on from the local perspec ve? Can it be a call for the whole world? Can human beings be good and respec ul to each other, society, and their environments? Can there /
be a way to reconsider architecture with this understanding? What can be done to reach the sovereignty of good? 0
