Notes This study deals with the dynamics of the emergence of some politicized spaces in Turkey. The study is designed to look at the cultural power debates that have become widespread recently from a different perspective. The fact that previous studies have not spatially analyzed the cultural power struggles defined as "culture war" can be presented as the unique nature of the research. In the research, it is claimed that basically two different cultural understandings were in competition with each other in the history of the Republic. The first of these was portrayed as a modernizing culture that was compatible with the founding ideology and included a Western style during the Single Party period. The second one is defined as the culture that emerged in the 1980s, expanded its influence after the 2000s, and was compatible with the Neo-Ottomanist ideological framework. While in the early periods the modernizing culture tried to consolidate its place in a conflict with the Ottoman culture, in recent times the Neo-Ottomanist cultural understanding has experienced a conflict with the modernizing culture. Places such as Village Institutes, Community Centers and Boarding Schools were built to combat the Ottoman culture, which was presented as the cause of collapse and collapse during the single-party period. The organizations held in these places were carried out to make Western culture dominant in many areas of social life. The structures built for a similar purpose after the 2000s were institutionalized to combat the culture that was -relatively- fortified during the single-party period. For this purpose, cultural centers; youth centres; science centers; congress, fair, museum, exhibition areas; Many buildings, such as National Gardens and Coffee Houses, were designed to make the understanding of culture that traces its origins to the Ottomans dominant in social life. As a result, it is quite possible to trace traces of Neo-Ottomanist images both in the architectural structure of these places and in the organizations held within them.
