“…New symphonies were composed, ballets were choreographed, and graphic design definitely showed reflections of a growing, proud nation. Artists and designers worked resourcefully to spread the ideology (Arnold, Altan & Turan, 2006;Bozdogan, 2001;Kasaba & Bozdogan, 2007;Madran & Alptekin, 2011).…”

Furniture, as a design element is an important part of design theory as well as design history. It has acted both as a part of the architectural context and individually in history. It reflects the context of the time, lifestyles, choice and behavior. The manifestation of modernism at the beginning of the 20 th century can be indicated as a milestone regarding the whole history of furniture. However, when the history of furniture in Turkey during this time is analyzed, it is observed that one can only come across limited literature. Departing from this lack of historic writing and rewriting, a scientific research project, "DATUMM: Documenting and Archiving Turkish Modern Furniture", was initiated based on exhibiting, documenting and archiving the history of modern furniture design in Turkey. The aim of this project is to highlight the modern furniture designed and produced in Turkey in the modern periods that can be defined as 1930's "Cubism" or "Functional Architecture Period", and the period of "International Style" in 1950s, 1960s and the 1970s. The sense of a comprehensive experience was needed to tell this story, and that is why it is composed of a variety of methods and related outcomes. With the array of outcomes planned to take its place in memory, the aim is to enable a remembered and developing process filled with significant moments to not only put together a collection, but to provide an inclusive impression. The methods and products-online archive, documentary film, catalog, colloquium, and exhibition work together to fulfill this aim. The first stage of the project has now been completed and has brought

“…The absence of a smaller focused brush as a representative instrument for the critical aspects of historiography could possibly explain the small number of research studies related to architectural historiography. A relatively ambiguous course of architectural historians and the late blooming ideas for these establishments are also conveyed by Arnold et al, (2006): "In North America, for instance although architectural has been taught as part of liberal arts and humanities programmes and humanities programmes and on and off at schools of architecture since the end of the nineteenth century, the first advanced programmes on the subject were instituted only in the 1960s. Also, the Society of Architectural Historians, arguably the first society of architectural historians in the world, was founded only in 1940 and continued to hold its meetings for some time together with the College Art Association -the organization of art historians.…”

“…However, one rather distinct fact that should be taken into account regarding this matter is that architectural history captures the interest of scholars from various disciplines. Arnold et al, (2006) declare that:…”

HISTORIOGRAPHY AND ARCHITECTUREHistoriography can be interpreted as an interesting research topic closely interlinked with criticism. Vann (2012) summarizes historiography as:"…the writing of history, especially the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources, the selection of particular details from the authentic materials in those sources, and the synthesis of those details into a narrative that stands the test of critical examination." Words and images have commonly communicated history across centuries. A glance at modern architecture through a concept of movement spectacles further reveals that these means of communication indeed reflect various art forms. Hence, the contemporaneity of architecture as an advocate of movement and a picturesque development from historical still images to animation and cinema resonates with a vision that bridges historiography with architecture. MacArthur claims that in view of a modernistic perspective, some of the contemporary inventions are traceable to the origins of modernity (McArthur, 2006): "While the revolution of the 'movies' over the photographic picture was a culture-wide event, architecture had something particular at stake: photography was invented about the same time as the archaeological concept of style and some of its first uses were in the documentation of and restoration of national monuments. The chemical and optical bases of cinema existed in earlier photography, just as much of Modernist architecture was implicit in the planning techniques and structural and servicing technology of the nineteenth century."

In the very first paragraph of History of the Art of Antiquity (1764), Johann Joachim Winckelmann delivered a program statement for a new kind of art history: “The history of the art of antiquity that I have endeavoured to write is no mere narrative of the chronology and alterations of art, for I take history in the wider sense that it has in the Greek language and my intention is to provide a system .” Merely describing artworks of the past no longer made sense, Winckelmann argued. Instead, one had to identify the laws that govern the making of art, examine the conditions under which it has been produced, and look at the way these conditions differed with time and place. Only then could a systematic understanding of art's and architecture's history emerge, as opposed to a mere assemblage of examples.
