Conference paperPublication Open Access Reading the research: Publications on vernacular architecture(WIT Press, 2019) Özorhon, Güliz; Özorhon, İlker Fatih; Architecture; ÖZORHON, Güliz; ÖZORHON, Ilker FatihThe aim of this study is to analyze the general profile of articles written on the subject of “vernacular architecture” (VA). The study integrates articles posted on the Web of Science database. In the first part of this study, all English language articles scripted between 2000 and 2018 and in the second part, articles listed under architecture category have been examined. Articles were analyzed based on their publication year, journals, categories, keywords and method and obtained data were analyzed via content-analysis method. Research findings manifest that VA is interlinked with a wide array of disciplines ranging from architecture-engineering sciences to art, archeology and geography. Once all of these categories are examined, it can be argued that, in general, local architecture is analyzed by associating it with environmental issues and building-physics subjects. Researchers claim that analyzing local production techniques and, based on these techniques, developing local, effective strategies is a salient research method. In the architecture category, the most widely-analyzed scale was detected as region scale; the most discussed location was Iran in the global scope. One of the featured titles in these studies is on the subject of thermal comfort. Another common subject in these articles is detected to be sustainability and matters related to sustainability. Aside from the subjects and concepts examined in these studies, another issue is the motives with which analyzed subjects were associated. Here, compiled data reveal that studies related to VA offer three key motives. The first one is protecting, the second one is learning and the third one is developing.
ArticlePublication Metadata only Investigation of the relationship between museums and cities in the context of image: cases from Istanbul(Taylor & Francis Group, 2015-06-03) Özorhon, İlker Fatih; Özorhon, Güliz; Architecture; ÖZORHON, Ilker Fatih; ÖZORHON, GülizWhether created by transforming historic buildings, whether contemporary and new design products, museums play a key role in terms of the image and attractiveness of the city they are located in. This study investigates the relation that the museums in Istanbul have established with the city in the context of image. The method employed is to first introduce the theoretical context of the subject based on literature review; to analyze the selected museums in terms of the city-museum interaction and to evaluate the selected museums within the context of the contributions they make to the image of Istanbul by descriptive methodology. As a result, the contribution of the museums on the city and the contribution of the city on the museums have been demonstrated and the varying and symbiotic nature of this relationship has been emphasized.Conference paperPublication Metadata only The role of art in the construction of public space: Istanbul biennials from 1987 to 2019(Springer, 2023) Eş, Elif; Özorhon, Güliz; Architecture; ÖZORHON, Güliz; Eş, ElifThis study focuses on the interaction of public space and art, and uses the Istanbul Biennale (1987–2019) as an example to explore the role of art in public space. This study firstly examines public space, art in public space, and public-art issues, and discusses the relationship between public space and art from the past to the present. With its layered and dynamic structure, the Biennale provides a rich space for examining this relationship. The Istanbul Biennial, during its 32-year history, where this relationship can be observed in a certain continuum, was chosen as the field of study. In this study, the distribution of the Istanbul-Biennial in the city, the types of venues used and the relationship between these venues are investigated. For the analysis, firstly, the discourses, themes and curatorial expansions of the 16 biennials were searched through literature and printed media. Secondly, the exhibition venues and their locations/distributions in the city were mapped separately. Eventually, it has been determined that the biennials, which were initially located in the historical city center of Istanbul, have gradually expanded their area and even started to evolve into an open-air exhibition spreading to the peripheries and distant parts of the city in recent years.ArticlePublication Metadata only A study on analysis of housing settlements: the case of Senesenevler(Open House, 2016) Özorhon, Güliz; Architecture; ÖZORHON, GülizThis study on the knowledge/experience transfer regarding architectural space has two main objectives. The first of these is to develop an in-depth analysis on housing settlements and the second one is to provide pioneering and unique approach of a housing settlement in the 50s in Istanbul to architectural milieu. In the study, first how it is possible to propose such a method will be discussed, and will be followed by a review of the literature on the subject of housing and by which parameters it can be described. After this preliminary research, a systematic approach consisting of two steps (1.Reading, 2.Conceptualization) to analyze the housing settlements will be proposed and this approach will be exemplified by a housing settlement in Istanbul. In short, this article is primarily concentrated on tools required first to understand and then explain a housing settlement.ArticlePublication Metadata only Investigation of the change of the shopping mall's space organization in Istanbul(Taylor & Francis Group, 2014) Özorhon, Güliz; Özorhon, İlker Fatih; Architecture; ÖZORHON, Güliz; ÖZORHON, Ilker FatihWithin the scope of this article shopping malls were discussed as a building type and the evolution of a building type was tried to be witnessed within a twenty-five year period by comparing the early and late examples of shopping malls in Istanbul. The change of Istanbul’s shopping culture / spaces and the inclusion of shopping centers into the practice of architecture as a building type are briefly mentioned. Each of the selected malls were separately examined in terms of location, concept, space organization and other functions included, and in the fourth section both early and late examples were evaluated together in the same terms with a holistic perspective. The effect of shopping malls, the number of which constantly increases in Istanbul, on the city and its architecture is highly important. These massive bodies of buildings play a significant role in the formation and even definition of the new settlement areas of the city, and generate new areas of attraction. Due to these reasons, from location to architectural characteristic, from schedule to interior quality, they need to be designed punctiliously and with the consideration of the effects at all levels.Conference paperPublication Open Access Investigating the ways of learning from vernacular architecture(WIT Press, 2019) Özorhon, İlker Fatih; Özorhon, Güliz; Architecture; Wilde, P. De; ÖZORHON, Ilker Fatih; ÖZORHON, GülizThe aim of this study is to investigate the methods for learning from the past and to explore alternative directions/approaches towards transferring past knowledge for the living environments of tomorrow. To achieve this objective, this study suggests a holistic model that combines a variety of layers, directions and methods for utilizing vernacular-architecture knowledge. Three key components of this model are: (1) Learning from Vernacular Architecture (LF-VA), (2) Learning from Experience (LF-E) and (3) Learning from Researchers (LF-R). Based on the scope of this study, each component has been independently examined and their unique characteristics as well as subcomponents have been indicated. Finally, the authors of this study suggested a model that can make alternative situations visible not only for their future researches, but also for other scholars aiming to learn from vernacular architecture.Conference paperPublication Open Access Crisis or opportunity: looking at the past for the resilience of settlements(WITPress, 2021) Özorhon, Güliz; Özorhon, İlker Fatih; Architecture; ÖZORHON, Güliz; ÖZORHON, Ilker FatihThis study focuses on learning from the examples of traditional architecture for planning/designing resilient living environments. It is important for the living environments of the future to take advantage of the ancient knowledge of traditional settlements, which are handed down from generation to generation, centring on “human” and “environment” and knitted with the dynamics of life. Within the scope of the study, 7 traditional settlement examples selected from Anatolia were examined under the titles of settlement, building and technology. The characteristics of these settlements are revealed with their ecological, economic, social and spatial dimensions in relation to their resilience. As a result of the research, all settlement examples were evaluated in an integrated manner, and some determinations were made for future resilient settlements.ArticlePublication Open Access Learning from vernacular architecture in architectural education(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2020) Özorhon, Güliz; Özorhon, İlker Fatih; Architecture; ÖZORHON, Güliz; ÖZORHON, Ilker FatihThis study focuses on the potential for effectively using knowledge about vernacular architecture in programs of architectural education and it proposes a course as a mean of doing so. The first section emphasizes the importance of vernacular architecture in education through an extensive literature review. In the second section, the details of a course developed by the researchers called Learning from Vernacular Architecture (LF-VA), which consists of the components "learning,""internalization" and "interpretation," are examined along with the outcomes of a questionnaire-based survey that was administered to students who enrolled in the class. The primary aim of the questionnaire was to observe whether or to what extent the course and its methods attained their objectives. The questionnaire results demonstrated that LF-VA not only led to a significant increase in awareness among students about vernacular architecture but also showed that the course proved to be a useful and unique mean of transferring knowledge about how it can be applied.
