    What fundamental indicators should be used to measure the change in the historic urban landscape approach?
    (Konya Technical Univ, 2022-12-20) Koyunoğlu, Ayşen Balin; Gülersoy, Nuran Zeren
    Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) identifies an urban area due to its cultural and natural values and the qualities of its historical plane. Within this context, this article aims to determine and categorize these values used in the HUL approach as indicators. The research question focuses on finding specific indicators used in the HUL approach to measuring change beyond considering natural and cultural heritage values in the landscape context. These indicators in 228 peer-reviewed publications implementing the HUL from 2008 to 2021 are assessed. The six-step inclusive and exclusive theoretical framework is established as a method in this article to detect the inadequate implementations of HUL in case studies. The initial finding of this article is that the adequacy of using the HUL approach in publications is questionable as the implementation of the HUL approach processes was incomplete or misunderstood in most of them. Only 29 articles of the 228 publications implemented the HUL approach in its entirety. The other finding is that when the change measurement indicators in the HUL approach are examined, it is evident that natural indicators were the least used group compared to cultural and identity indicators. Each cultural, natural, and identity indicator group should be utilized evenly to implement the HUL approach adequately. This article presents a fundamental indicator list that includes cultural, natural, and identity groups for correctly using the HUL approach.

    Atmosphere of place: a look at Olafur Eliasson’s art through Peter Zumthor’s principles
    (Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2024-10-31) Özer, İpek
    The atmosphere of a space has a multilayered structure and it is related to experience, interaction between body and space and senses. Experiencing the space is crucial for perceiving the atmosphere. Additionally, when the experience appeal to multiple senses—such as touch, hearing, and smell, rather than just sight— it became enriched. Given this, it can be said that a multisensory experience is necessary for a holistic perception of a space’s atmosphere. The main aim of this study is to understand the concept of atmosphere in architecture and to explore how it can be created. The study first discusses the concepts of space, experience, relationship with senses and atmosphere. Then, nine principles defined by architect Peter Zumthor, who focuses extensively on the concept of atmosphere were examined. Since atmosphere is an abstract concept, Zumthor’s nine principles contribute to a more concrete understanding of the elements that create atmosphere. Following this, the study analyzes the atmosphere in three works by artist Olafur Eliasson: “The Weather Project,” “Din Blinde Passenger,” and “Reality Projector,” by using Zumthor’s insights. This analysis identifies the elements contributing to the creation of atmosphere and highlights the importance of multisensory experience.

    Reshaping the urban memory: the transformation of PTT directorate building in Ankara Ulus in the 1970s
    (Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2024-10-31) Köksoy, Zeynep
    This 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.

    Architects' journeys to Italy and their contribution to architectural culture in postwar-era Turkey
    (Cambridge University Press, 2024-12) Hamiloğlu, Ceren; Özsoy, Ahsen
    In the twentieth century, the mobility of architects and ideas played an important role in the dissemination of an architecture culture characterised by modernity. Architectural ideas were disseminated through institutions and a variety of visual, verbal, and textual representations as well as physical encounters. Travel, with its associated architectural thinking and representation, became a generative practice through which the dissemination of architecture could be understood. The Grand Tour was one of the most well-studied examples of travel as a rite of passage, and Italy remained a dominant destination long after its peak in the eighteenth century. Italian architectural discourse entered Turkey through travels and publications, mostly in the prewar era. This article aims to show the role of architects’ travels in inducing architectural productions through a variety of representations from sketches to published media, scrutinising Turkish-speaking architects’ journeys to Italy in the postwar era. The study incorporates content analysis of selected media - such as photographs, articles, class notes, books, and memoirs - to review architects’ productions during and after their travels, as they facilitated the dissemination of an architecture culture ‘brought back’ after key experiences.

    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, Zeynep
    Architectural 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.
