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 To build a sustainable city “as a living organism: the city(ISPEC Publishing House, 2022-10-25) Uçkan, Betül; Gül, Atila; Demirel, Öner; Seydoşoğlu, SeyithanIn the 21st century we live in, the issue of sustainability, which humanity deals with great interest, is basically fed by the instinct of human survival. For this reason, in order for life to continue -for humans to survive- in this Earth piece, the issue of sustainability from human scale to city scale needs to be sensitively examined as "a self-sufficient life cycle that can establish mutual relations with others and feed each other". Examining the analogy between the universe we live in and an organism/living being at a much smaller scale, with the thought that structures of different scales may have similar qualities with each other, may offer creative solutions to the issue of sustainability in design and perception. The study focuses on 'the city: as a living thing' with an analogy established between human being and the city. The sample was constructed on the basis of the basic solutions established for the body to maintain its vitality. At this point, the agent systems that play a role in the continuation of the vitality in a body draw attention: such as the circulatory system, the respiratory system, etc. These systems carry out the actions in the living body in a holistic manner through a nervous system in a perfect cycle. Beyond this balance on the body scale, on a higher scale, there is a larger selfsustaining system within the framework of a mutual relationship: Nature. With the same logic, it can be argued that when moving from a living body to other scales, systems observe similar principles and establish/should establish similar life cycles. On the urban scale, the aim of establishing a fully functioning/living city like an organism can be observed in the design principles of leading cities in the ‘smart city’ theme. For example, in the Punggol region of Singapore, an urban planning that is like an organism draws attention that the green areas of the city are considered as lungs, the city's transportation routes correspond to the vessels and circulatory system, and the data collection and processing mechanisms of the city are equated with data collection and processing with the sensory organs and nervous system2 . Based on these analogies, a sustainable/living city can be built with a holistic design approach in which all its components are pre-planned and integrated with each other, with a holistic/synchronized urban construction theme like a living body. Just as a living thing establishes and nurtures its life cycle, the life of a city can be sustained with similar principles. In the title of 'as a living organism: the city', a living city can be established or a city can be kept alive.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.
