In 1952, Russell Dorr, Chief of the United States Mission to Turkey reflected on the environmental significance of Turkey’s national terrain for America’s Cold War, expanding across the Mediterranean and Middle East theatre. And he argued that “on the most uncertain sort of ground” like Turkey’s, “predictions [were] always dangerous,” as this country was situated in “a world where a war, cold in some spots and not so cold in others, [was] raging.”1 Dorr further portrayed Turkey's soils, rivers, and seas as the main ammunition, which, if designed effectively, could fundamentally alter the power geometries in favor of the U.S. military-industrial complex. This paper takes Dorr’s design speculation as its starting point to explore how U.S.-sponsored infrastructural development in Cold War-era Turkey operated as a war by other means—one that capitalized, financialized, and weaponized built space. The paper focuses on a key project led by the U.S. military, namely “The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Infrastructures,” with a focus on Turkey's position in this multi-scalar project. The NATO Infrastructures referred to a massive network of aboveground, underground, and submarine defense systems and technologies, designed to intercept a potential Soviet expansion into the Mediterranean Sea. Drawing on an architectural analysis of maps, images, and textual material, first, the paper discusses how the NATO Infrastructures redefined the term "infrastructure." Second, focusing on a formative period in the construction of this network—between 1952 (the entry of Turkey and Greece into NATO) and 1974 (the Turkish invasion of Cyprus)—the paper conceptualizes the emergence of a "Cold War Space" from the global circulation of military design technologies—a space that continues to evolve today by weaponizing Turkey's landscapes and waterscapes. 1.“Mutual Security Agency, Special Mission to Turkey for Economic Cooperation: Turkish Viability after 1954,” (May 2, 1952), Records of U.S. Foreign Assistance Agencies, 1948-1961.
