    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.

    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.

    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.

    To build a sustainable city “as a living organism: the city
    (ISPEC Publishing House, 2022-10-25) Uçkan, Betül; Gül, Atila; Demirel, Öner; Seydoşoğlu, Seyithan
    In 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.

    Afet sonrası katılımlı süreçlerle yürütülen mekânsal pratikler için bir model önerisi
    (Gebze Teknik Üniversitesi, 2023-10-13) Uçkan, Betül; Gün, Ahmet
    Afet sonrasında yürütülen yeniden planlama çalışmalarında, afetzedelerin mekânsal ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilmek için çeşitli pratiklerin tartışıldığı süreçler başlatılmaktadır. Afet sonrası ilk aşamada öncelik, ‘insanların güvenli bir şekilde barınmalarını sağlayabilmek’ şeklinde olsa da orta ve uzun vadede barınma ve hijyen ihtiyaçlarına ek, eğitim, sosyal vb. gibi diğer mekânsal ihtiyaçların da tartışılmaya başlandığı görülmektedir. 2023 Maraş merkezli Türkiye deprem örneğinde görüldüğü üzere, mekânsal ihtiyaçların karşılanması için devlet destekli karar destek mekanizmalarından, sivil toplum örgütlerine; kamu-özel sektör kurumlarından, bireysel çabalara varana dek geniş bir aktör ağı üzerinde, çeşitli mekânsal pratikler üzerine yoğunlaşıldığı görülmektedir. Yürütülen bu çalışmaları ‘yukarıdan aşağı uygulanan karar mekanizmalarıyla üretilen’ ve ‘aşağıdan yukarı üreyen pratikler’ başlıkları altında incelemek, araştırma özelinde bir farkındalık yaratabilmek için faydalı olabilir. Örneğin, Maraş depreminden etkilenen bölgelerdeki sosyal ihtiyaçların karşılanması özelinde, yukarıdan aşağı uygulanan devlet destekli projelere ek, sahada hala aktif olarak çalışmalarını sürdüren Ma.ker: Toprak Yapı Topluluğu (t.y.), Herkes İçin Mimarlık Derneği (t.y.), Acil Tasarım Stüdyosu (t.y.) gibi ekiplerin katılımlı süreçlerle, aşağıdan yukarı bir şekilde yürüttüğü çeşitli projeler incelenebilir. Bu bağlamda araştırmada, aşağıdan yukarı, katılımlı süreçlerle üretilen mekânsal pratiklere odaklanılmaktadır. Bu gibi projelerdeki temel aşamalar, ‘projeyi yürütecek aktörlerin bir araya gelmesi, ‘planlanan projenin tasarım ve uygulama kararlarının alınması’, ‘projeye maddi destek sağlanması (fonlanması)’, ‘bölgeye malzeme ve araç-gereç temini’ ve ‘projenin uygulamaya geçmesi’ başlıkları üzerinden incelenebilir. Araştırmada, sıralanan bu aşamaların hızlı ve pratik bir şekilde, kendi kendine ilerliyor olmasını sağlamak amacıyla, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri (ICT) temelli bir model geliştirebilmek ve bu süreçler için işleyen bir senaryo kurgulayabilmek hedeflenmektedir. Bu model aracılığıyla üretilmek istenilen mekânsal pratiklerin ise katılımcı süreçlerle tasarlanıp üretilmesinin yanı sıra, yerel iş gücü ve yerel malzeme kullanıyor olması ve kurulduğu komüniteyi besleme ve dönüştürme potansiyeline sahip olması beklenmektedir. Araştırma, dört temel aşama üzerinde kurgulanmıştır: I. İlk aşamada, afet sonrasında katılımlı süreçlerle üretilen mekânsal pratiklere odaklanan kapsamlı bir literatür araştırması yer almaktadır. Burada niyet bu pratiklerin nasıl hayata geçirildiğine dair bilgi birikimi üretebilmektir. II. İkinci aşamada, projede katılımcı olarak yer alacak aktörlerin rollerinin belirlenmesi ve iş akışının planlanması yer almaktadır. Burada niyet sistemin nasıl çalıştığını belirleyebilmektir. III. Sonraki aşamada ise bu aktörlerin sürece dahil olması, proje sürecinin başlatılması ve iş akışının planlandığı gibi ilerleyebilmesi için bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileriyle (ICT)çalışan bir model arayüz tasarımı yer almaktadır3. IV. Bu aşamalar tamamlandıktan ve model tasarlandıktan sonra, sistemin çalışıp çalışmadığının test edilme aşaması yer almaktadır. Bunun için ilgili aktörlerle iletişime geçilip seçilen bir pilot bölgede, belirlenen bir fonksiyon üzerinden katılımlı süreçlerle üretilen bir mekân tasarımı ve uygulaması süreci yürütülebilir. Bu son aşama, araştırmanın işleyip işlemediğinin anlaşılması, eksiklerinin tamamlanması, potansiyel ve zorluklarının keşfedilmesi için önem arz etmektedir. Hedeflenen bu model ile, etkileri hala devam etmekte olan Maraş deprem bölgelerinde,alternatif çözümler sunabilecek mekânsal pratiklerin ortak bir ağ üzerinden yürütülmesi sağlanabilir. Örneğin, afet bölgelerine mekânsal tasarım odağında yardımcı olmak isteyen – yerel yönetimler, sivil toplum kuruluşları, tasarımcılar, üreticiler, ustalar, öğrenciler, afetzedeler gibi- çeşitli aktörleri bir araya getiren organize bir sistem üretilebilir. Bu nedenle, afet sonrası senaryolarda katılımlı süreçlerle yürütülen inovatif mekânsal pratiklerin daha hızlı ve etkili bir şekilde geliştirilmesine olanak sağlayan bu çalışmanın afet dirençli şehirlerin kurulmasında önemli bir adım olduğu düşünülmektedir.

    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 Duran
    The 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.
