Rethinking Bergsonism Through a Deleuzian Ontology in Architectural Design

�Bergsonism,� written by Gilles Deleuze, is one of the primary texts on French philosopher Henri Bergson. This article reconsiders reflections on Deleuzian sense of multiplicity in architectural design through the �intuition as method� described in the concepts of Bergsonism. Experimental research was conducted by the author of the present article in the 2014-2015 spring term at Faculty of Architectural and Design of Maltepe University in ARCH 202 Design Studio. The work led to the production of the new and subjective singularities in architectural design, independent of mediation of representation. In a pragmatic design approach, movement of drawing by hand with an intuitive flow/flux not related to narrative representation is discussed through incommensurable intensities. Although based on a meditative, imaginary, diagrammatic �ground�, intuition provides immediate data.Affirming ontological multiplicities, intuition/duration immediate data that produces the conditions of intuitivity. Dividable and quantifiable diagrammatic spatializations are articulated during the flux of that is emerging immeasurably as �differences in nature� and tendencies that are emerging as �differences in kind�. It is a design thinking without necessarily accepting �concept� as a beginning, and it accepts pure perception, articulations connected to singular characteristics occurring according to the conditions of the experience. This kind of design thinking resists labeling and identifying diagrammatic representations producing different tendencies, intensities and new beginnings by immediate intuition.

Keywords: Architectural design, Bergson, continuity, Deleuze; diagram; intuition; ontology.

Bergsonculuk, Gilles Deleuze��n Frans�z filozof Henri Bergson �zerine yazd�� ana metinlerden biridir. Makalede Deleuze��n �okluk fikrinin mimari tasar�ma yans�malar� Deleuze��n Bergsonculukta belirledi�i y�ntem olarak sezgi d��ncesi �zerinden tekrar d��n�lmektedir. Konuyla ilgili deneysel bir ara�t�rma, yazar taraf�ndan 2014-2015 ��retim y�l� bahar d�neminde Maltepe �niversitesi Mimarl�k ve Tasar�m Fak�ltesi Mimarl�k B�l�m� MIM 202 Tasar�m St�dyosu dersinde ger�ekle�tirilmi�tir. Deneyde bir taraftan Deleuzec� d��ncede yeninin �retimi, di�er tarafta temsilin uzla�t�r�c�l��ndan ba��ms�z �znel tekillikleri ortaya konmaktad�r. Pragmatik bir tasar�m yakla��m�nda anlat�sal olmayan temsilin �l��lemeyen ye�inlikleri, elle-�izim hareketinde sezgisel bir devinim olarak ele al�nmaktad�r. Diyagramatik bir dolay�m�n zemininde kurgulanmas�na ra�men sezgi dolays�z veriye i�aret eder. Tasar�mc�n�n s�resi, ontolojik �oklu�un olumland��, dolays�z bilgiyi ortaya ��karaca�� sezgiselli�i ko�ulland�r�r. S�redeki b�l�nemeyen ve �l��lemeyen do�al farklar�n devinimine, bir e�ilim olarak ortaya ��kan derece farklar�na b�l�nebilir ve �l��lebilir diyagramatik mekansalla�malar eklemlenir. Kavram� ba�lang�� olarak kabul etmeyen dolay�s�yla uzla�t�r�c� olmayan bir tasar�m d��ncesinde, kavram yerine saf alg�lar ve tekil �zelliklerin ba�l� oldu�u eklemlenmeler, deneyimin ko�ular�na ba�l� olarak ortaya ��kar. B�yle bir tasar�m d��ncesinde �zde�li�e ve �zde�le�meye direnen diyagramatik temsiller, sezginin dolay�ms�zl��yla farkl� e�ilimler, ye�inlikler ve yeni ba�lang��lar olu�tururlar.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Bergson, Deleuze, diyagram, mimari tasar�m; ontoloji; sezgi; s�reklilik.
