Abstract :In this study, the region renewed within the scope of the urban transformation process in Istanbul province Kadikoy district Suadiye neighborhood with intense tall residence buildings is selected to question this communication. Buildings having one or more non-cavity/slight cavity external walls were chosen. Communication of the buildings with their immediate vicinity is analyzed in two categories by taking physical characteristics of non-cavity external walls into consideration. Accordingly, it is identified that buildings have initiated different, yet unordinary type of communication via their physical characteristics with the street and adjacent building users. It is highlighted that such change might continue with the urban transformation activities in the context of urban aesthetics, visual communication and visual culture and should be controlled by the local administrations.
