Abstract: (106 Views)
Aims: This research aims to plan a new intellectual system in the interdisciplinary space of two social phenomena, media and architecture, with the help of theorizing based on paradigm rethinking and with the aim of creating a concept. It requires understanding the meaning of episteme in Foucault's literature, temporal identification, i.e. the age of the current media leap: the Anthropocene era, and the description of the communication model, i.e. fusion.
Methods: With an approach based on the paradigm of modern materialism and using an algorithm inspired by Peirce's method, the theories of the field of media and architecture are taken as data and combined with analogy and induction, and the results are analyzed. A report is created. Considering the extent of this system, the writer has used the data combination of McLuhan's theories, the philosopher of the media age, with architectural data by designing an example.
Findings: The findings obtained from the research of historical theories in the field of media and architecture form a system of conceptual propositions in a post-qualitative context and by using the writer's creativity.
Conclusions: This research indicates the possibility of military creation of knowledge based on a rhizomatic report that can be read with Foucault's literature called architectural episteme in combination with media in the Anthropocene era, which can be analyzed in the context of the research approach and can probably be considered as a legacy of contemporary architecture to establish a fundamental structure in interdisciplinary studies in the field of media and architecture.
