    The porosity of borders: between formal and informal urban patterns
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Cebir Meral, Gözde İrem; Özsoy, Ahsen
    Urban spaces developed with formal and informal settlements that have varied permeability features are the places where any social, cultural and ethnic communities cohabit in a heterogeneous arrangement. Both formal/regular and informal/spontaneous modes of spatial production lead to changes in socio-economic and spatial relationships within the city. Planned and unplanned housing patterns intersect and are juxtaposed in time. The seam lines between the various parts of the patchwork-like settlements show different qualities in terms of transition characteristics, creating different patterns for the use of public and private space and spatial discontinuity. Therefore, fragmentation and disconnection are encountered between different social groups at the intersection of formal and informal residential settlements. The differences make the borders meaningful, however, to eliminate discontinuities in terms of creating quality urban environments; the boundaries should be more blurred, ambiguous and even seamless. Porosity/permeability characteristics of the borders as indicators of ambiguity strengthen the potentials of in-between space to increase communication and interaction providing urban fluidity. In the scope of the research, to analyze the connection/intersection of various formal/informal housing patterns in Istanbul in terms of their spatial and social dimensions, a comparative and mutual assessment is conducted. Creative approaches and bottom-up models of different countries related to the porosity characteristics of in-between zones are concluded along with the findings of the field study related to the theoretical framework.

    Evaluative, inclusive, participatory: Developing a new language with children for school building design
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-01-15) Manahasa, Odeta; Özsoy, Ahsen; Manahasa, Edmond
    This paper emphasises the attribute of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) in school (re) design by extending the research toward genuine participation and evaluation. It aims to re-conceptualise “child’s participation” through exploring its relationship with POE by observing child-built environment connection and by demonstrating how children engage with the problems of school design. This empirically grounded research presents eight workshops with three different schools in Albania. It explores the process, outcomes, challenges, and opportunities during the active involvement of a total of 502 children aged 10–14 years old. The research incorporates a multiplicity of techniques from both creative and evaluative methods: essays, wish poem, drawing, model making, poster design, visual/POE questionnaire and walk-through are some that ensure a comprehensive achievement of children in the process. The study confirms the utility of participation in school design as a tool to propose child-oriented spaces. Within the results, six design concepts of the desired school building of children are identified. These are flexibility, horizontality, campus-like environment, transparency, accessibility, and ecological concept. We propose a participation language based on the experience, perception, imagination, and active involvement of the children in the learning environments. It concludes that children participation builds upon a spatial experience which lies on the child-school relationship. Language is dynamic and allows researchers and designer to edit and annotate whenever needed, but by always referring to the school of children active and present in participation. It emphasises the POE-participation connection and to further open the discourse of participation to the Albanian public.

    Rusya'da değişen konut politikaları ve konut tasarımına etkisi
    (İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi, 2024-07-12) Önder, Zeycan; Özsoy, Ahsen
    Amaç: Endüstri devrimi ile birlikte şehirlerde hızla artan ve büyüyen işçi nüfusu için ortaya çıkan barınma ihtiyacı, konut sorununu toplumun gündemine taşımıştır. Konut sorununun çözümüne dönük olarak ve konutun gelişim sürecinde ülkelerin ekonomisi, yönetim biçimi ve sosyo-kültürel yapısına bağlı olarak, farklı yaklaşımlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Rusya’da konut iklimsel ve kültürel özelliklerden kaynaklanan bazı biçimsel farklılıklara rağmen uzun bir zaman kırsal karakterini değiştirmeden korumuştur. Çalışmada, konut gelişiminde endüstrileşme ve ülke politikalarının etkisinin Rusya örneğinde incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kavramsal Çerçeve: Konut, Sovyet Devlet politikasının her zaman en önemli parçası olmuş, insan bilincinin dönüştürülmesi ve davranışlarının değiştirilmesinde en önemli rol oynaması beklenmiştir. Yöntem: Çalışmada, doküman analizi kapsamında literatür araştırmasından elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Çalışma örneklemi Rusya’daki konut politikaları, 1917 öncesi Rus Devleti’nin tarihi gelişimi ve bu gelişim içindeki konut örneklerini de kapsayacak biçimde 1917-1991 yılları arasında Sovyetler Birliği’nde yaşanan ekonomik ve politik değişimler ve bu değişimlerin mimarlık alanında oluşturduğu dönemler ve değişimlerin etkisi ile konut tasarımı ve yapımında meydana gelen gelişmeler dönemsel olarak ele alınmıştır. Bulgular: Ülkenin ekonomik olanakları, yaşam alanlarını belirleyen standartlara, konutta yer alacak fonksiyonların belirlenmesine ve bu fonksiyonların konuttaki mekansal organizasyonuna yansımıştır. Konutlara tek aile yerleştirilebildiği gibi, konut’un yetersiz olduğu durumlarda aynı konutu birden fazla ailenin paylaştığı “komünal” yaşam veya ortak kullanım alanları olan komünal daireler oluşturulmuştur. 1960’lı yıllarda endüstrileşmiş ekonomik konut yapım metotlarının uygulanmaya başlanması ile, ekonomik “her aileye bir konut” prensibi tamamen benimsenmiş ve sonraki çalışmalar bu prensip doğrultusunda gelişmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları, 1917’de başlayıp 1991 yılında sona eren Sovyet rejimi sürecindeki gelişme ve değişimlerin, konut tasarımı ve yapımını etkilediğini göstermektedir. Yaşam kalitesi sınırlarının belirlenmesinde, konutun yeri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, ülke tarafından ortaya konan politikaların rolünün önemi daha iyi anlaşılmaktadır.

    Architects' journeys to Italy and their contribution to architectural culture in postwar-era Turkey
    (Cambridge University Press, 2024-12) Hamiloğlu, Ceren; Özsoy, Ahsen
    In the twentieth century, the mobility of architects and ideas played an important role in the dissemination of an architecture culture characterised by modernity. Architectural ideas were disseminated through institutions and a variety of visual, verbal, and textual representations as well as physical encounters. Travel, with its associated architectural thinking and representation, became a generative practice through which the dissemination of architecture could be understood. The Grand Tour was one of the most well-studied examples of travel as a rite of passage, and Italy remained a dominant destination long after its peak in the eighteenth century. Italian architectural discourse entered Turkey through travels and publications, mostly in the prewar era. This article aims to show the role of architects’ travels in inducing architectural productions through a variety of representations from sketches to published media, scrutinising Turkish-speaking architects’ journeys to Italy in the postwar era. The study incorporates content analysis of selected media - such as photographs, articles, class notes, books, and memoirs - to review architects’ productions during and after their travels, as they facilitated the dissemination of an architecture culture ‘brought back’ after key experiences.
