Yayın Children’s participation in built environment design: the case of “Play Without Barriers” project(İTÜ Rektörlüğü, 2021-07) Arın Ensarioğlu, Sebla; Özsoy, Fatma AhsenSince 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.Yayın 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 AhsenThe 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.Yayın A hierarchical definitional framework for a heterogeneous context: housing typologies in Tirana, Albania(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2022-04-29) Manahasa, Edmond; Özsoy, Fatma Ahsen; Manahasa, Odeta DurmishiPurpose: The proposed definitional framework can be used to define housing typologies of cities in developing countries. It aims to define housing typologies in the capital city of Albania, Tirana, using the proposed hierarchical framework within the dynamics of four political periods: Ottoman, establishment, socialist and postsocialist. Design/methodology/approach: This study proposes a new definitional approach for the housing typologies through a hierarchical framework that defines the typologies based on their political period and legality statuses departing from the case of Tirana, which is featured by a heterogeneous context. Such context is characterized by uncontrollable urban development, making typology definition problematic. Furthermore, beyond the form, spatial and functional features, it presents their exterior distinctiveness as an innovative element. The methodology used in the study includes archival research, image documentation, spatial, functional and exterior distinctiveness analysis of housing typologies and exploration of housing form features in different political periods. Findings: The study identifies urban formal housing typologies in Tirana detached houses, apartments, mass housing, social housing, gated communities, informal detached houses and housing with in/formal additions. Originality/value: This definitional approach can be used to define housing typologies for cities featured by heterogeneous urban context.Yayın 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 AhsenUrban 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.Yayın The changing meaning of urban open spaces through the pandemic process: workshop experiences(University of Thessaly, Department of Planning and Regional Development, Laboratory of Urban Morphology & Design, 2022-06) Süyük Makaklı, Elif; Engincan, Pınar; Gülersoy, Nuran Zeren; Özsoy, Fatma Ahsen; Kepsutlu, Gülay; Zeycan, Dicle; Yücesan Altay, Ebru; Ozar, Betül; Yılmaz, Ö. ÇelikCovid 19 epidemic has been effective since the beginning of 2020 and is one of the most widespread pandemics with its global spread rate and area. In the historical process, pandemics have had a substantial impact on the city and urbanization, and in this context, urban transformations have been associated with pandemics. The emergence and spread of pandemics are directly related to urban conditions under the headings of collective life, architecture and urban planning, infrastructure services, settlement, and population density. The rapidly implemented measures for controlling the pandemic affected different parts of the society in psychological, social, physical, and economic terms at different levels, and the powersociety relationship is questioned. The use of public spaces has been restricted, cultural and social life has decreased considerably due to the risk of transmission of the virus. While the pandemic has affected our lives at different layers, it has changed our perception of space, architecture, urban space, and landscape. Living in the residences located in the densely populated area in the city center and those living in the residences located on the periphery and having their common areas or gardens have experienced the quarantine process differently. The location, typology, size, open and semi-open spaces of the house have differentiated the experience. As part of the "The Use of Indoor and Outdoor Space during the lockdown in Pandemic" research project, the concepts related to the changing use of outdoor space during the pandemic have been discussed at workshops. In the research, our aim is to determine the density of using open areas regarding various activities of people during the pandemic process and to understand the alterations made and their reasons in using the space. The use and transformation of open spaces and surroundings were examined in multiple layers through users' perceptions and relationships. In addition, we created an online workshop and survey series with undergraduate and graduate students from various design disciplines to demonstrate the transformation of space. The suggestions on open space and its surroundings' experiences and needs were discussed through the workshops. The importance of having a residential garden and balcony was emphasized during the pandemic process, and also have open areas such as parks, urban forests, open sports fields, walking track, sea/lakeside, children's gardens, children's playgrounds within walking distance was emphasized. The analysis highlighted the importance and necessity of open spaces. Additionally, workshops have looked beyond physical boundaries and reconsidered our living environments. However, we do not yet know whether Covid 19 will cause a systemic transformation in our city life.Yayın The evolution of architectural form(İTÜ Yayınevi, 2023-05-18) Uçkan, Betül; Dursun Çebi, Pelin; Özsoy, Fatma Ahsen; Öztopal, Ahmet; Apaydın, Sena Çağla; Yıldız Ataş, Burcu; Kulga, Burak; Subaşı, Abdussamet; Şahin, Ahmet DuranThe concept of form in architectural design has been a highly debated and important topic since prehistoric times. In its simplest meaning, form can be expressed as the shape of the structure, the volume in which one lives. The aim of this study is to analyze the changes and evolution of form throughout history in order to discover new meanings and potentials it can acquire. In this study, form is researched in conjunction with form design and form-making techniques. It is believed that form informs form design and making, and these practices, in turn, shape the form through a dual relationship that can be explained by the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. The study is structured into two main parts. The first stage consists of comprehensive literatüre research and mapping to analyze the evolution of form. The second stage proposes a new term that explains the evolution of form. The stages can be summarized as follows: In the first stage, which can be seen as an evolutionary narrative, the events that transform form and the practices of design and making are discussed chronologically using a designed mapping. Through this stage, it is understood that form is no longer a final product represented in drawings or made statically in a physical model, but rather a subject discussed on a spatiotemporal level that includes process and dynamism. The concepts and approaches analyzed in the mapping demonstrate form's new dynamic, autonomous, generative, and interactive nature. In the second stage, a new term, ‘vital form’, is introduced to express form's new characteristics. While form represents the static or stationary, vital form represents the dynamic and ever-evolving one. While form represents what is symbolically designed or created from the top-down by the designer, vital form represents what is created from the bottom-up through the influence of agents involved in its design or making, expressing autonomy. This study, which examines the historical transformation of form and defines it as an evolving, changing, and transformative process through the introduction of the newly coined term vital form, holds the potential to highlight the emerging possibilities that form can possess and foster critical thinking within architectural design. By analyzing the dynamic nature of form and its continual evolution, this study aims to shed light on the inherent potentials of form and inspire further exploration and development in the field of architectural design.
