In the global age of today, while our lives are constantly dragged from one place to
another, we consume places temporarily. It is also difficult to establish a connection with these
places during short-term relationships. Many thinkers have pondered to describe these places
where there is no attachment and where the sense of belonging is lacking. Within the scope of
this article, the studies of Foucault – Des Espace Autres (Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias),
Relph – Place and Placelessness, Augé – Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity
and Koolhaas – Junkspace are discussed, which take the most place in the literature. First, these
studies were examined in detail, and then all terms were compared with each other. In order to
speak of the terms from a general view, a common term has been developed within the scope of
this article and all these spaces have been defined as Grey Spaces.
