Özet
The discourse of the city as a conceptual structure is the state of its legibility. In the most basic sense the phenomenon of 'legibility' is related with the citizens' or/and visitors' perception and interpretation the city. In this context, any kind of perspective set out to understand the city has the potential to turn into an urban reading method that centralizes different interpretations. By resolving the complex structure of the city, each historical formation can be called as a 'layer'. It can be realized that each layer produces an integrative transformation by affecting and converting both the previous and next layer to itself. One of the most important point in this transformation process is the perceptive metamorphosis occurred in the observer and observed relation. According to Quantum Theory, the observer and observed awareness based to the idea that each new observation proves a new perception. It indicates that the observer and the observed components influence each other by creating a different whole at every single time. So observing an event as an observer makes it possible to discover both the monitored thing and her at the same time. Thus, it can be understood that in the development process of the city's architectural layers, notions like 'experience', 'audience', 'impression', 'observer' and 'observed', are always in a continuous interaction and transformation. Thus, while a structure is the observer subject in its historical layer it can become an observed object when another layer is added. As the former capital of the Ottoman Empire, Edirne is one of the cities in Turkey, which has a cultural and architectural layered structure. This study indicates the perceptual and spatial differences when a structure becomes an observer and an observed at the same time through the case study of Edirne. The study which grounds a urban reading method centers the notions of 'understanding', 'perception' and 'interpretation', will also provide an impartial review of assertions by including architectural and perceptual impression of the city of Edirne.
