    Children’s participation in built environment design: the case of “Play Without Barriers” project
    (İTÜ Rektörlüğü, 2021-07) Arın Ensarioğlu, Sebla; Özsoy, Fatma Ahsen
    Since participation theory became a crucial issue in various disciplines after late 1960’s, creating actual participatory processes generated an important question of debate. Today, in recent conditions the validity of urban design or local governing policies are evaluated depending on how much importance they attached to participatory approaches and social governance models. The earlier individuals start to involve participation into their lives, the more conscious they become. Therefore, participatory projects should consider the existence of youth and children in urban life and built environment design. This paper discusses the effects of built-environment education on the young participants while introducing a brief explanation of an educational model named “Play Without Barriers” (PWB), supported by several shareholders and which is designed also as a child participation project. PWB is a long term project which expanded into three years and came up with concrete results such as a playground project designed by its users, children, who participated a 27 week long educational program. From the beginning of the project, the participants (children aged between 8-14) found the chance to work with all of these shareholders, represent their ideas and get involved in the whole process. The general outline of the paper includes a literature review on the pros and cons of built environment education and participatory design, discussion of a case study (PWB) while mentioning the methods used in the education and application phases of this project, followed by a criticism of the process and declaration of the outcomes.

    The evolution narrative of architectural form and the state of vital form
    (İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, 2023-09-30) Uçkan, Betül; Dursun Çebi, Pelin; Özsoy, Fatma Ahsen
    The concept of form in architectural design has been debated since prehistoric times. In its most straightforward meaning, form can be defined as the shape, shell, and inhabited volume of a structure. This study aims to explore the historical process of the transformation and evolution of form, as well as to discover new meanings and potentials of form through analysis, and to develop a critical perspective on form. The study is structured around three main axes. In the first stage, a mapping is designed to analyze the evolution of form throughout history. This mapping focuses on the changes in the approach to form, design, and making techniques chronologically. This stage reveals that form is no longer merely a final product represented by drawings or statically produced, but rather a concept that involves process and dynamism in a temporal-spatial dimension, whether in its design or production. In the second stage, the evolution of form is discussed through a new concept called ‘vital form’. While form represents something static or stationary, vital form signifies a dynamic and fluid state. While form is symbolically designed or produced by the designer from top to bottom, vital form represents a bottom-up, autonomous state formed by the influence of actors involved in design or production. Subsequently, the relationships, transitions, interactions, and changes between form and vital form, as well as their interpretations, are discussed within the proposed model in the study, based on conceptual sets derived from theoretical debates and the implications in design and making processes. It is believed that such exploration and awareness of form in architecture will bring new dimensions to the contemporary understanding, design, and making practices of form.

    What fundamental indicators should be used to measure the change in the historic urban landscape approach?
    (Konya Technical Univ, 2022-12-20) Koyunoğlu, Ayşen Balin; Gülersoy, Nuran Zeren
    Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) identifies an urban area due to its cultural and natural values and the qualities of its historical plane. Within this context, this article aims to determine and categorize these values used in the HUL approach as indicators. The research question focuses on finding specific indicators used in the HUL approach to measuring change beyond considering natural and cultural heritage values in the landscape context. These indicators in 228 peer-reviewed publications implementing the HUL from 2008 to 2021 are assessed. The six-step inclusive and exclusive theoretical framework is established as a method in this article to detect the inadequate implementations of HUL in case studies. The initial finding of this article is that the adequacy of using the HUL approach in publications is questionable as the implementation of the HUL approach processes was incomplete or misunderstood in most of them. Only 29 articles of the 228 publications implemented the HUL approach in its entirety. The other finding is that when the change measurement indicators in the HUL approach are examined, it is evident that natural indicators were the least used group compared to cultural and identity indicators. Each cultural, natural, and identity indicator group should be utilized evenly to implement the HUL approach adequately. This article presents a fundamental indicator list that includes cultural, natural, and identity groups for correctly using the HUL approach.

    Developing social sustainability criteria and indicators in urban planning: a holistic and integrated perspective
    (Konya Teknik Üniversitesi Mimarlık Ve Tasarım Fakültesi, 2023-06-27) Atalay, Hilal; Gülersoy, Nuran Zeren
    One of the main reasons for today’s urban problems is the disregarding of social sustainability in urban interventions and the lack of an approach that evaluates social sustainability with all its issues as a universal and holistic one. In this context, the aim of this study is to determine and categorize social sustainability criteria, objectives, and indicators to measure and to assess social sustainability for ensuring the sustainability of cities that could be used in all urban areas and applied in urban planning. Within this scope, social sustainability criteria, objectives, and indicators identified by international organizations and academic/scientific studies on different scales and in urban areas were evaluated systematically and analytically. A matrix has been generated according to the frequency of occurrence of social sustainability criteria and indicators. Although research studies focus on criteria and indicators according to scale, subject, and specified matters. It is a necessity to identify social sustainability criteria and indicators that can be used on every scale and in every urban area. Accordingly, ten criteria have been determined: population, accessibility, education and skills, health, housing, security, belonging, participation, social capital and social cohesion, urban life quality, satisfaction, and adequacy of services. Based on the criteria, targets, sub-targets, indicators, and indicator definitions for each criterion have been identified. However, the significance of each criterion is addressed, as well as the reasons for their necessity for social sustainability. This study proposes a universal, detailed, and holistic perspective for the measurement and assessment of social sustainability that enables the use of both quantitative and qualitative data together and envisages the use of mixed techniques in obtaining and evaluating data. In addition, criteria and indicator systems will be able to guide practitioners and policymakers to make decisions related to the social structure before and after the implementation of urban projects.

    Atmosphere of place: a look at Olafur Eliasson’s art through Peter Zumthor’s principles
    (Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2024-10-31) Özer, İpek
    The atmosphere of a space has a multilayered structure and it is related to experience, interaction between body and space and senses. Experiencing the space is crucial for perceiving the atmosphere. Additionally, when the experience appeal to multiple senses—such as touch, hearing, and smell, rather than just sight— it became enriched. Given this, it can be said that a multisensory experience is necessary for a holistic perception of a space’s atmosphere. The main aim of this study is to understand the concept of atmosphere in architecture and to explore how it can be created. The study first discusses the concepts of space, experience, relationship with senses and atmosphere. Then, nine principles defined by architect Peter Zumthor, who focuses extensively on the concept of atmosphere were examined. Since atmosphere is an abstract concept, Zumthor’s nine principles contribute to a more concrete understanding of the elements that create atmosphere. Following this, the study analyzes the atmosphere in three works by artist Olafur Eliasson: “The Weather Project,” “Din Blinde Passenger,” and “Reality Projector,” by using Zumthor’s insights. This analysis identifies the elements contributing to the creation of atmosphere and highlights the importance of multisensory experience.

    Reshaping the urban memory: the transformation of PTT directorate building in Ankara Ulus in the 1970s
    (Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2024-10-31) Köksoy, Zeynep
    This paper focuses on the PTT Directorate Building located in the Ulus, Ankara, investigating its impact on the urban memory and experience of the main street, Atatürk Boulevard. Constructed in the late 1970s to address the growing needs of the PTT, it became a prominent modern structure in Ulus among several Republican and Post-War Era structures. It still dominates the built environment with its cubical mass and large scale. However, since its construction, it has been a controversial structure among the locals, still being discussed to this day. The structure replaced the Post Office Palace, a Republican structure constructed in 1925 on the same site and demolished in the 1970s for the new one, creating a significant transformation and change within the context and the urban memory. Thus, this paper aims to investigate why such a radical transformation occurred and how it created a change in the identity of a governmental structure by discussing the political, economic, social, and, consequently, architectural changes in relation to the developments, necessities, and motivations of the Post- War Period and onwards. Through the examination of scholarly research, documents, and interviews with the actors involved in the design and construction of the structure, the paper discusses the factors leading to its transformation, the ways of implications of modern architecture of the time, and its place in the broader discussions of preservation and conservation. Investigating the transformation will express the significance of the new Post Office building in reshaping the urban memory and its role in placing a new identity shaped with modern architecture in the collective memory.

    Transmission of spatial experience in the context of sustainability of urban memory
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-11) Cankurt Semiz, Sedef Nur; Özsoy, Fatma Ahsen
    Urban memory involves the re-creation of a city’s physical, historical, social, and cultural elements in the memories of its inhabitants. However, urban transformation and commercial tourism-oriented projects may threaten the continuity of this memory. This study aims to provide an understanding of the relationship between urban memory and spatial experience while exploring how urban memory elements convey meanings to daily users and local inhabitants of a touristic settlement. The research focuses on Misi Village in Bursa, Turkey, a settlement with a 2000-year history known for its traditional architecture and natural beauty. Over the past two decades, local authorities have pursued extensive restoration projects to rebrand Misi Village as an Art and Tourism Village. The research employs the oral history method, focusing on two user groups: tourists and locals. The findings reveal that while tourists appreciate Misi Village for its natural beauty and recreational activities, they lack a deeper understanding of its history and the transformation of its identity. Instead, they mostly focus on commerce-oriented spatial experiences. In contrast, local residents emphasize daily life and traditional practices as they strive to sustain their livelihoods. By highlighting this difference, strategic planning is proposed to preserve Misi Village’s unique urban memory and promote sustainable, culturally centered tourism.
