For a better perception
of metropolises, it is necessary to
get closer to the city and change the point of view when looking at the
objects. The study aims to make the dwelling pluralities in the city visible by
examining the dwelling
practices in the metropolises through Slavoj Žižek's architectural parallax concept forming the conceptual
basis of this study. The
parallax view brings the immanent plurality and diversity of the object to
light. In the study,
the parallax view is used as a tool to make in-between space in the city and
the dwelling practices of
others, who are the subjects of these spaces, visible. The methodology
of the study developed the concept pair of antecedent space / consequent space
based on the parallax view to evaluate the sample. In-between spaces are made
visible with the parallax view are evaluated through the spandrel concept. When
the dwelling practices of a city are examined, focusing on the spandrel spaces
that have sprung up everywhere in metropolises alongside conventional dwelling
areas will provide concrete findings. Naturally emergent dwelling areas under
the superhighway in China, the Pearl River Delta (one of the densest
urbanization areas and the most important industrial centers in the world), and
Guangzhou are addressed. With the
analyzed sample the study found that metropolises, which prefer to grow
eternally, tend to grow inward, that is, towards their own spandrels, as a
method. The parallax view reveals the tension between the antecedent and
consequent space practices in the bridge spandrel, which grows indifferent to
the antecedent rational function of the bridge. The revolutionary potential of
the bridge spandrel is underlined, which reacts to the city's commoditized
understanding of residence with the purest form of shelter.
