Özet:Constituting a fundamental ground for the discipline of architecture, the concept of materiality is the central consideration of this thesis. Besides a particular set of materials by which architectural production made out of, the literal aspect, materiality also refers to all architectonic qualities that form the physical constitution of an architectural product, the referential aspect. Taking referential aspect as its basis, this thesis considers architecture as an “organizational system” and approaches materiality as “the substance of architectural totality” touching upon the formal, structural, spatial and material qualities of architecture. Within this context, this study interrogates the dissolution of organization systems of architecture into information systems and, accordingly, investigates how this dissolution affects and gets affected by the status of materiality in architecture. In general, such dissolution reveals a synthesis between materiality and information by associating materiality with its ability to generate information and to be generated by information over time. This reciprocal reproduction results in the formulation of diverse modes of materiality. In order to recognize, differentiate and organize these diverse modes, this thesis proposes a categorization of materiality by means of information flows and relative responses. The primary classifications are defined as the formed and informed materiality, dynamic and kinetic materiality, segregated and integrated materiality, and predictable and unpredictable materiality. Considered as a method of exploration throughout the process, this categorization attempts to provide a ground on which a comparative analysis of materiality can be conducted.
