This study aims to provide an approach to practices of reading the urban space from a different perspective, as those abilities are of great importance in terms of understanding and developing the ability of making accurate future projections. In this article, we discuss the first contact of freshman students of Dokuz Eylul University, Faculty of Architecture, Department of City and Regional Planning with the city as an empirical study and aim to examine the assumptions and the findings that were developed through conceptual or physical interpretations so far using case studies. We open the project studies together with the content, process and end product qualifications to discussion as a model, which indicate the nature of “language” that would be used in spatializing the existing physical formation and the meaning behind it through abstraction and obtaining solid implications as well as the existing possibilities in this field.
