Yayın Reshaping the urban memory: the transformation of PTT directorate building in Ankara Ulus in the 1970s(Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2024-10-31) Köksoy, ZeynepThis 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.Yayın Human-AI collaboration in architectural design: a comparative analysis of conceptual and computational form generation(Ahmet Fidan, 2026-01-31) Süyük Makaklı, Elif; Sütçü, İrem; Köksoy, ZeynepArchitectural education aims to foster creative thinking and cultivate individual originality through design-based learning. In this context, the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into design disciplines necessitates an in-depth evaluation of its role in educational environments. The central aim of this study is to understand how AI interacts with conceptual design thinking and how it can influence or challenge students’ conceptual approaches to design. Developed as an experimental workshop for architecture students, the study was structured in three phases: first, students created 15x15x15 cm physical cube models; in the second phase, they developed written prompts describing their models and design concepts to generate AI-based visual outputs; and finally, they critically compared the AI-generated visuals with their original designs.The findings indicate that while AI could not replicate the depth of human creativity, it provided alternative perspectives that enriched students' design processes. The effectiveness of AI integration depended largely on the clarity and conceptual coherence of human-generated prompts. Moreover, the workshop highlighted the pedagogical value of physical model-making in design education, emphasizing embodied learning and spatial reasoning. Ultimately, this study advocates for a hybrid educational model in which AI operates not as a substitute, but as a reflective and dialogic partner in design education, enabling students to integrate intuitive and computational thinking within emerging technological contexts.
