Yeni yaşam biçimleri üzerine denemeler: Bir mimari asarım stüdyosu deneyimi
(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2019) Turgut, Hülya; İşbakan, Nagehan Açımuz; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya; AÇIMUZ İŞBAKAN, Nagehan
Bileşenlerinin sürekli değişim ve dönüşüm içinde olması kaçınılmaz olan İstanbul, sürekli olarak kentlisi ile birlikte şekillenmekte ve yeni yaşam biçimleri oluşturmaktadır. “Konut” ise artık sadece insanın barınma ihtiyacını karşılayan bir kavram olmaktan çıkarak içerisinde sayısız girdi barındıran bir anlam taşımaya başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda İstanbul, mimarlık eğitimi için “laboratuvar” niteliği taşırken; kentsel bir alanda yer alan konut tartışmaları da çok farklı potansiyeller içermektedir. Diğer yandan, mimarlık eğitiminin çok yönlü yapısı içinde özel bir yeri olan mimari tasarım stüdyolarının da, çağın dinamiklerini yansıtacak biçimde eğitimin bütünü ile birlikte farklı yöntem, yer, ölçek ve içerikte geliştirilmesi ve kurgulanması kaçınılmaz bir gerekliliktir. Bu bildiri kapsamında da Dünyadaki ve İstanbul’daki güncel ve çok boyutlu değişim ve dönüşümlerin mimarlık üretimi ve eğitimine yansımasına dayandırılan; Mimari Tasarım eğitiminin dönüşen stüdyo kültürü, ortamı, aktörleri ve uygulamaları üzerine kurgulanan bir bir stüdyo deneyimi aktarılacaktır. Bu bildiri ile temel hedef yazarlar tarafından farklı dönemlerde uygulanan mimari tasarım stüdyolarındaki yaklaşımları tartışmaya açmaktır. “Yer-bağlam-kavram” kavramları stüdyolarda temel bileşenler olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu bileşenler, günümüz gündelik hayat ve kültürel faaliyetlerinin kavramsallaştırılması ve özellikle katmanlı ve melez “kent dokusu” ile bu dokuyu sürekli olarak yeniden oluşturan ”yeni(lenen) kentsel yaşam”, “kent kültürü”, “kentte konut-Ev” açılımlarını bünyelerinde barındırmaktadır. Buradan hareketle, 2016-2018 yılları arasında Özyegin Üniversitesi, Mimarlık ve Tasarım Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümünde 7 yy.lar da deneyimlenen mimari tasarım stüdyosunda “Kent”, “yer”, ‘ev’ ve ‘konut’ kavramlarına temellendirilen stüdyo çalışmalarının süreç, yöntem, içerik ve ürünleri tartışılacaktır.

Istanbul's heritage at risk : the Galata district
(FrancoAngeli, 2020) Orlandi, Luca; Ivkovska, V.; Architecture; ORLANDI, Luca
Istanbul's Galata district is a multicultural crossroad in the Mediterranean. Throughout Istanbul's transformation into a modern metropolis Galata maintained its distinctive and cosmopolitan character due to the cultural diversity of its inhabitants. This aspect of Galata was perpetuated by the continuous arrival of foreigners, who brought their own culture, traditions, and religion. This study demonstrates the architectural richness of the district by examining its coexisting civilizations, past and present. The district today faces the alarming possibility of disappearance due to neglect and lack of improvements. It is important to define Galata and its past layers as a historical and cultural asset and to preserve the richness and multicultural origins of this integral part of Istanbul's identity.

Reminiscences of Ottoman vernacular in Galata
(Center for Cities, University of Moratuwa, 2019-06) Orlandi, Luca; Architecture; ORLANDI, Luca
The aim of this paper is to present the lost heritage of the vernacular architecture in Galata district in Istanbul that existed during the Ottoman period. It presents the Ottoman vernacular houses that once existed in the area that were lost throughout the centuries due to the big fires and rapid reconstructions. The paper presents this rich vernacular architecture by detecting its existence and analysis from gravures, sketches and images from the past. After the Ottoman conquest, Galata as well as the city of Constantinople was affected by the process of Ottomanization. The transformations were very much predominant in the urban layout and the texture of the area was improved by more domestic and traditional architecture in wood, remarking Galata into a typical Ottoman environment. After the conquest, the former Genoese colony evolved, in architectural manner. This was achieved through the towns‘ growth marked with arrival of foreigners, the so called ‘Franks’ or Levantines, who were attracted to those lands by the new possibilities to expand trades and commerce from the European and Mediterranean coasts towards the East. These populations settled in the Galata area, bringing their own cultural habits, customs, traditions as well as religion, —contaminating” the already existing and mixed local population, composed predominantly of Greeks, or better Rum, Armenians and Jews and later on of Moors, Arabs as well as Turks. The Ottoman Galata was affected severely during the mid-nineteenth century and up until the proclamation of the Turkish Republic, when the rich vernacular built environment slowly disappeared leaving very little traces today, of what once used to be a typical example of an Ottoman vernacular in the capital. The paper traces this history and presents a glimpse into the ottoman vernacular in Galata.

Towards a human centred approach for adaptive façades an overview of user experiences in work environments
(TU Delft, 2022) Koyaz, M.; Prieto, A.; Ünlü, Gülten Aslıhan; Knaack, U.; Architecture; ÜNLÜ, Gülten Aslıhan
Adaptive façades are multifunctional systems that are able to change their functions, features, or behaviour over time in response to changing boundary conditions or performance requirements. As one of the significant developments in the façade industry over the last decade, the adaptive façade offers an intelligent solution that can decrease energy consumption and potentially increase users’ comfort in a building. From an engineering perspective, these advanced technologies aim to improve the overall performance of the building while generating a better indoor environment for the users, but unfortunately, investigations show that this goal is not always achieved. This is why, to bridge this performance gap, we embark on a change of perspective in façade design, from a technology-centred to a human-centred one. This research emphasizes that, with their changeability aspects, adaptive façade technologies offer unique potential, although the design of such façades requires a deeper understanding of users. With this as its focus, this paper aims to identify the factors affecting the user experience in a working environment, considering the interactions of the user with building services and façade systems from a holistic point of view, in which façade-user relationships are to be distinguished, towards the larger aim of developing a human-centred approach for adaptive façade design.

The analysis of a paediatric treatment environment in the context of nurses' and companions’ behaviours through space syntax and behaviour maps
(2021-12-02) Çanakçıoğlu, Nevşet Gül; Ünlü, Alper; Architecture; ÇANAKÇIOĞLU, Nevşet Gül; ÜNLÜ, Alper
Pediatric treatment environments are settings that should be designed in a child-centered spatial manner that treats the child as a holistic entity with his/her physical, cognitive, social, and psychological needs. According to David and Weinstein (1987), children are not the only users of these settings, the needs of adults as well as children should be considered, as these environments are also used by their parents. Platt Report (1959) which demonstrates family-centered design procedures in children’s hospitals, also informs that if a mother is staying with her child, she should also be considered as a member of the team involved in the treatment process. So, in addition to medical doctors and nurses, companions are among the main actors of children's treatment settings whose social and psychological needs should be taken into consideration. However, the fact that companions are vital members of the treatment process is usually ignored in the architectural design of many children's treatment services in Turkey. The case study which is carried out in a Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Service with the participation of 30 companions and 13 nurses, through which the significance of the data obtained by behavioral maps and spatial syntax methods are statistically investigated, shows that companions are at least as active as nurses and they take a vigorous role in the treatment of their children and also need social interaction and privacy. As a result of the correlations established between the behavioral data of nurses and companions, and the syntactic data of each space, it is analyzed whether the syntactic data regarding the physical structure of the space are related to the behavioral frequencies of each participant group. Considering the significant data that emerged in the analyzes, it is revealed that the behavior frequencies of the companions are as high as the nurses.

Cultural schema and design activity in an architectural design studio
(Elsevier, 2017-06) Ketizmen Önal, G.; Turgut, Hülya; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya
Research on the cognitive activities and on the structure and quality of knowledge flow involved in architectural design education is increasing. These studies generally focus on the interaction between student and instructor, including processes such as producing ideas, solving display problems, and integrating design strategies. These studies commonly include computational evaluations and confirmation of the coding of knowledge. They may also include the determination of designer׳s thoughts and cognitive actions of design process, as well as the analysis and digitization of verbal protocols during the design process. In most of these studies, the designer׳s cultural and psychological components are not considered. Accordingly, research on the effects of designers’ cultural schema on design activity in design studios is limited. This study aimed to solve this problem by analyzing the relationship between design activity and the designer׳s cultural schema in a design studio. We performed an experimental study based on a specific conceptual framework and a research model aimed at identifying the relationships among cultural schemas, the architectural design process, and design studios.

또 다른 장소의 정령 : 건축 경관 이론에 대한 기록
(Archlab, Seoul, Korea, 2019-07) Camiz, Alessandro; Architecture; CAMIZ, Alessandro
After the publication of Norberg-Schulz’s book on Genius Loci in 1979 , the term Genius Loci became the logo of an anti-modern intellectual rebellion in search of deep meaning within the meanders of architecture and landscape, it became akin to a dragon banner raised in the crusade against the loss of memory generated by the modern movement. Such an interpretation, still deeply rooted within the generation of architects that graduated in those years, is nevertheless absolutely reductive, not only of the phenomenological message that Norberg-Schultz meant in those years, but above all has nothing to do with the genius loci, as intended in Roman times.

Green infrastructure in water management: Stakeholder perceptions from South East Queensland, Australia
(Elsevier, 2023-06) Sheng, B.; Cushing, D.; Satherley, S.; Özgün, Abdulkadir Kaan; Architecture; ÖZGÜN, Abdulkadir Kaan
Green infrastructure (GI) originated in landscape architecture and landscape ecology and is widely used as an approach to sustainable water management. However, there is no commonly accepted definition of GI for water management in the literature. This research was undertaken in South East Queensland (SEQ), Australia, which has experienced a long-term cycle of floods and droughts. The research employed the Q-sort methodology supplemented with semi-structured interviews to understand perceptions of GI amongst various stakeholders. Twenty-seven research participants included design, planning, and engineering practitioners, government officers, scientists and community members familiar with GI. Our findings indicate these participants regard GI as a broad concept containing both natural and engineered semi-natural assets offering multiple benefits and functions, yet rarely recognised its economic benefits. Participants were divided on GI's effectiveness for drought management. We propose a new, consolidated definition of GI for stormwater management: “GI is a strategically planned network of high-quality natural and semi-natural assets that mimics natural processes, with multiple benefits and multifunctionality, such as enhancing stormwater management and providing environmental quality, with social and economic benefits”. We recommend that water management-related policies, strategies, plans, and design guidelines in SEQ and elsewhere, should include a consistent definition of GI for water management to assist professional and community understanding and inform decision-making about flood and drought.

Design workshops as a tool for informal architectural education
(Open House International Association, 2015) Turgut, Hülya; Cantürk, E.; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya
Although the design studio has formally been the locus for design education, informal education approach has gained more and more acceptance in the world. Informal education, which is the education outside the confines of curricula, includes the acquisition of knowledge and skills through experience, reading, social contact, etc. Workshops cover the essential weight of this informal education. Although the role of the design workshops in architectural design education has been very limited through overall design education’s past, many schools of architecture have taken steps to consider workshops as the part of informal learning and education. “Culture and Space in the Build environment” (CSBE) Network of IAPS have been organizing “culture and design workshop series” for graduate and post graduate students in Turkey since 2001. In these workshops, a design teaching approach based on the conceptual framework of culture and space interactions is applied. The conceptual framework developed for the architectural design education, takes three fundamental starting points for workshops as the part of informal design education: as a tool for informal design education (method), as a tool for learning & understanding culture-environment relations (content), and as a tool for awareness of different environments/contexts (scale/place). The foundation of the conceptual framework is based on the general approach that discusses the “architectural design process” with regards to environmental context and content. Within this context the aim of the paper is to discuss and evaluate the importance and the contribution of workshops as tool for informal architectural design education. These discussions will be held on the case of IAPS-CBSE Network’s last workshop “Istanbul as a Palimpsest City and Imperfection”. In the paper, the process, the method, the content and the results of workshop studies will be discussed and evaluated.
