Yayın Evaluative, inclusive, participatory: Developing a new language with children for school building design(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-01-15) Manahasa, Odeta; Özsoy, Ahsen; Manahasa, EdmondThis 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.Yayın Why self-help housing failed in urban Turkey: A policy and legislation misalignment(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2026-03) Çelikcan, Elif Cemre; Özsoy, AhsenHousing low-income households in Turkey’s urban areas has remained an enduring challenge. During the 1960s, growing housing shortages and economic constraints urged efforts to prevent and upgrade squatter settlements, leading Turkey to adopt self-help housing (SHH) programs for low-cost housing provision. Under the first two five-year development plans (FYDPs), government-assisted SHH initiatives were launched in major cities as part of squatter prevention zones (SPZs). However, the successful beginning of the projects did not lead to successful conclusions; the policy failed to reach its goals in urban areas of Turkey despite the extensive research support. This study investigates the legislative causes behind this failure. It draws on SHH’s core characteristics to analyse its alignment—or misalignment—with Turkey’s policy framework, offering a structured approach to legislative reform. The SHH model is examined across four thematic axes: (1) design process, (2) construction process, (3) actors and roles, and (4) financing mechanisms. The study maps SHH-related regulations in Turkey through a chronological inventory of housing policies, laws, and FYDP targets. Findings highlight the need to restore research-policy dialogue and rethink legislative frameworks to enable viable SHH programs. This study is the first to systematically map Turkey’s legislative misalignments with SHH requirements. It contributes to scholarly debate and future policy-making by offering a novel framework linking architectural theory with policy analysis.
