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.

The walls of gated communities in Brazil and Turkey: security, separation or status?
(2010) Turgut, Hülya; Kowaltowski, D. C. C. K.; Monteiro, E. Z.; Aydın Yonet, N.; Teixeira Turczyn, D.; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya
Gated communities are common types of housing estates found in many countries. They are based on strictly controlled access of people. Houses, and at times high-rise apartment blocks, are built behind a common wall, along private internal streets. Both in Brazil and in Turkey these types of residential neighborhoods can be found mainly on the outskirts of large urban areas. This paper investigates the reasons for the increase of such residential areas, in relation to the two countries urban problems. In Brazil the dominant reason for the proliferation of gated communities, found in the literature and in advertisement of such estates, is security, in view of the countries high crime rates. In Turkey the main reason for a family to choose to live in such residential areas is status and privacy. Although Brazil and Turkey have very different cultural backgrounds, in both countries gated communities are increasingly popular. The attraction of these so-called communities must therefore be analyzed. Are people more vulnerable in large mega-cities? Also, the impact on urban prospects as a whole must be discussed. Socio-cultural and psychological concepts such as territoriality, security, privacy, which can be represented by a pattern of behavior of an individual or group, as based on control of space, are thus touched on in the paper. Conclusions confirm that the reasons for preferences for gated communities are the feeling of belonging to a special place, fear of crime and a sense security and determine decision making of families in their homeownership choices.

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.

Changing household pattern, the meaning and the use of home: Semantic and syntactic shifts of a century–old house and its journey through generations
(Beijing JiaoTong University, 2019) Turgut, Hülya; Şalgamcıoğlu, M. E.; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya
A home is more than just ‘a territorial core’ and not just ‘an ordering principle in space’. Home is a complex entity that defines and is defined by cultural, socio-demografic, psychological, political and economic factors. The household living in itself makes a house a ‘Home’, although house is a physical and static system, household has a living structure. Therefore, the house and the life embraced by itself build a dynamic system, which dimensions are culture, behavior, environment and time. In course of time, socio-cultural changes affect behavioral settings of households and changing household patterns alter use of homes. These interactions between household pattern and use of home have the vital importance for understanding of man-environment interaction system and grasping the transforming nature of architectural design practice. The main aim of this paper is to show that the design, the meaning, and the use of home are intimately related to a range of socio-cultural, behavioral and spatial dimensions and that all reflect reciprocal relations. Time is a crucial dimension for understanding the domestic space transformation. Grasping the meaning of domestic spaces’ essential dynamism is possible through understanding the use of home space and its spatial, socio-cultural and temporal orders. The paper will consist of four main chapters. Following the introduction, the second chapter covers a conceptual overview on the variables of the "Household Pattern-Use of Home" interaction system; which can be grouped in cultural, behavioral, environmental and temporal components. The theoretical approach to meaning and use of home will be based on the transactional perspective that "Home" is an integrative scheme that creates a bond between the person and the place. Home is also a set of interactions between the experience of the dwelling and the wider spatial, socio-cultural and temporal context. The third chapter includes a case study held on a traditional Turkish house and its users in “Eski Malatya” region which is an agro-town in Malatya, region of East-Anatolia. Interactions between changing household pattern and use of home have been studied in seven characteristic periods over 100 years. In this chapter, a syntactic examination on the change of fourth, fifth and sixth periods will also be focused. Since this research is based on previous study of Hülya Turgut, and Mete Ünügür (1997), the extended study will also focus on especially the changing semantic and syntactic pattern of fourth, fifth and sixth periods of the research including a 47 years period. By focusing to the transformation in meaning and the spatial organization of the house, changing integration and mean depth values on the ground floor of the configurational setting will be scrutinized with the semantic shifts. During these periods many dramatic socio-cultural and political changes occurred both in Turkey that are the first and second world wars; collapsing of the Ottoman Empire; foundation of a new state and nation; technological developments and finally urbanizatıon and globalization process. The case study explores the story of a house built in 1878 and left in 1982 reflecting all cultural, behavioral and spatial changes through the life-cycle of “Cumali Aga (who is the landlord of the area and the grandfather of the author) Family”. Finally, overlapping the data of space syntax (analysis of integration and mean depth) and the meaning of space (the change on behavioral settings) is important for the main discussion. How space syntax may be a tool to understand the changing patterns in the case of this paper is a major issue. As a concluding remark, results on the overlapping syntactic and semantic data will also be discussed for the identification of the future studies.

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.

Istanbul: The city as an urban palimpsest
(Elsevier, 2021-05) Turgut, Hülya; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya
The metropolitan cities of the world continue to grow rapidly with their dynamic, mostly chaotic features that perpetually contain randomness, notwithstanding their specific differences. These inevitably constantly changing and transforming cities are shaped together with their permanent inhabitants and produce new urban spaces. In this regard, Istanbul has always been a laboratory for architectural applications, research and education rightfully due the numerous potentials it embodies. In this context, informal trainings and activities carried out outside the programs in architectural schools are increasingly becoming more important, and Istanbul is used as an instrument for these studies. From this point of view, so as to contribute to the discussions on the palimpsest character of Istanbul and to provoke post-graduate students and young architects to question the multi-layered state of the city, ?Culture and Space? Network has been organizing paper selections in Turkey for eight years. This current article reviews and analyzes a selected group of awarded papers from the paper selections in order to explore the concept of ?urban palimpsest?, to read and understand the multi-layered and palimpsest structure of Istanbul from their perspectives, and to highlight their interpretations.

Colliding urban transformation process: the case of historical peninsula, Istanbul
(ArchNet-IJAR, 2018) Uluengin, Demet Mutman; Turgut, Hülya; Architecture; ULUENGİN, Demet Mutman; TURGUT, Hülya
Over the last three decades, the disruptive quality of urban and social restructuring processes in Turkey has been intensified by the government’s decision to embrace the concept of urban transformation as a tool to boost the Turkish economy and development. In this respect, many cities have experienced a rapid urban transformation, practicing more of a top to down approach in implementing an urban planning and design, and at the same time undervaluing the potential of a participatory process for a common future and for the improvement of the quality of social and urban life. The article examines the process of “social and spatial restructuring” for the old-city housings of the city of Istanbul, as part of a larger urban transformation phenomenon. The research comparatively analyses three different urban transformation projects from the city of Istanbul's historically valued Golden Horn area and focuses on missions, actors and roles of the projects in terms of the social and spatial restructuring phases. As all three cases in this respect reclaims an upgrading of the quality of urban environment of the historic neighbourhoods; the mission is to expose the local multidimensional structure of these transformations via comparative discussion of their potentials, capabilities and limits in respect to the dynamics of urban transformation and community participation.

Urban dynamics and transformations and their impact on urban housing: the case of Istanbul
(Open House International Association, 2010) Turgut, Hülya; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya
Cities throughout the world have experienced fundamental social, cultural and economic transformation in recent decades. Socio-cultural and urban identities have been transforming radically; globalization, internationalization and the rapid flow of information, as the case in the rest of the world, have played a significant role in changing cities and their people. These changing dynamics have affected continuity and development trends in urban-housing environments and housing preferences. The multidimensional outcomes of this transformation are manifest in peculiarities of activity patterns, behavioral relationships, and socio-cultural norms, as well as in architectural and urban configurations. These rapid economic and social changes demand continual redefinition of urbanization and housing concerns. Therefore, the main aim of the article that based on ongoing research is to examine implications of urban and architectural transformations in Istanbul with the subjects of economical, cultural and political conditions. Based on these above arguments, article aims to analyze and discuss the relationship between urban dynamics and new housing developments in Istanbul in the context of transformation process. The article, which consists of five sections, has three sections besides the introduction and conclusion. In the first two part a theoretical framework is established, explaining and discussing culture, continuity and change in the process of urbanization. The second part includes the latest housing trends in Istanbul with the subjects of economical, cultural and political conditions that Turkey is already in and related. The third part examines the emerging patterns of social and cultural differentiation in Istanbul through the examples of the exclusive suburbs At the end, we argue that recent housing projects and trends represent new forms of organizing social and cultural differences, and could be read as urban forms, which create segregation and reproduce inequalities while transforming the character of public life.

Interactions between urban dynamics and new spatial patterns: The case of Istanbul
(Taylor & Francis, 2018) Turgut, Hülya; Özten, Ö.; Architecture; Catalani, A.; Nour, Z.; Versaci, A.; Hawkes, D.; Bougdah, H.; Sotoca, A.; Ghoneem, M.; Trapani; TURGUT, Hülya
Cities are increasingly concerned with fluidity and mobility, where social, cultural and economic activities can rapidly be transferred from any one locality to another. Yet, powerful effects of globalisation on economy, society, and urban environment create fragmentation as well as interesting transitions in each system. Whilst urban transformation in response to globalisation creates sharp changes in former urban textures and typologies, new spaces and identities have been produced with the formation of recent networks and encounters. This paper, therefore, examines the implications of urban and housing transformations in the city of Istanbul within the context of recent economic, cultural and political conditions. The authors aim to establish a critical discussion of the city’s texture, where separate and overlapping urban functions are easily captured through a site section.

Demographic change and urban transformation: the challenges of residents' attitudes
(Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, 2010) Güney, Y. I.; Turgut, Hülya; Architecture; TURGUT, Hülya
ities around different regions of the world have been subject to important social and cultural alterations due to ever increasing affects of globalization process. The cities in Turkey are no exception to this urban transformation with different physical and social structures emerging as a result of the economical, political, socio-cultural and technological developments. Especially during the last thirty years, the increased linkage of the country to the global world has been even felt in smaller cities in the form of new local developmental opportunities in different sectors including industry, international trade, tourism and real estate. Ever since the 1950s, one of the major components of urban transformation in Turkey has been the migration of masses that changed the socio-cultural and economic structure of the cities and eventually led to rapid transformation of the existing physical environment and created new spatial formations. As such, the topic of the urban transformation of cities while protecting both its physical as well as socio-cultural values, which is also intricately linked to sustainable regeneration and architectural identity issues, has been a hot topic of recent architectural discourse. The ongoing demographic change due to relocation process from rural to urban areas and from smaller to bigger cities, as well as due to industrialization and increasing concentration of people in urban areas, have accelerated socio-cultural and spatial differentiation and diversity, while bringing about some continuity and development trends in urban housing environments. This situation concerning housing environments show a dramatic transition procedure from past to future, from tradition to contemporary while at the same time living through changes in the residents’ perception of home and urban environments with different perceptions for people from different backgrounds. In this context, the city of Istanbul is a good example to observe and evaluate the physical reflections of a mutual interaction between the architectural identity of the city and its social structure and dynamism. Cultural synthesis is more in evidence here than in most other Turkish cities. However, the concepts of social, cultural, spatial diversity and complexity especially in housing environments differ in smaller scale Anatolian cities such as Balikesir where the city center, which always included major housing stock of the city as well, has kept its location and prominence as the only center while the city boundaries has been constantly growing and expanding. In recent years, the city started to change with an ever increasing rate causing the city to have a multi-centered organization while the historic city center is becoming more deteriorated with each day. The housing stock in the center has become a derelict area causing it to be the home for the people migrated from small villages around with low socio-economic status, which is a major threat for the restoration and renovation and later on protection of the cultural heritage of the city.
