SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS IN SPACE AND COMMUNICATION

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

Semiotics, in its most general definition, is a way of understanding or interpretation of any concept, situation, or object. Semiotics is accepted as a discipline that helps us to communicate with the world we live in and helps us question messages that enable us to produce meaning. In this study, space reading is analyzed over semiotics concepts through the relationship established between architecture and semiotics. With this method, the concept to be defined is laid through “sign”, “signifier” and “signified” elements; the examples of space, which constitute a meaningful whole in time, are discussed with an approach that proceeds on the terms “denotation” and “connotation”. In this context, in the study, while focusing on the design elements through the terms “sign-signifier-signified”, the answer to the references to the said design is searched with the term “connotation”.
