Özet

Within the scope of the study, an urban-metaphor relationship focused on Potsdam Square through Berlin, where the most devastating and shocking events of the 20th century were experienced. In this study, in which the transformation and change of Potsdam Square and its surroundings in the last two centuries are read in the context of metaphorical design approaches, the focus is on forming different components of the space. The metaphorical backgrounds of the approaches applied while designing points such as urban patterns, transportation setup, open green spaces, feasibility and city center were evaluated. The square, which has been examined in studies focused on urban transformation and economy, has been reconsidered with a holistic view of the region’s change, transformation, political importance and economic relations.
