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 First year design education inspired by site-specific and site-determined artworks(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2026-03-30) Boyacıoğlu, Didem; Durhan, Özlem SılaThis research explores the potential implementation of site-specific and site-determined artworks as a pedagogical tool for the basic design studios of first-year architectural education, investigating whether these artistic creations can pragmatically contribute to the genesis of new spatial concepts. This study also aims to assess the effectiveness of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) in the context of studio pedagogy. The basic design course is rooted in process-oriented and student-centred studio pedagogy, drawing on Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory, and is structured around three site-specific projects that focus on the reproduction of space and the potential of spatial studies. These projects range from building scale to urban pattern, with a focus on various facets of a place, including tangible and intangible qualities, as well as explicit and implicit characteristics, while also exploring the dynamics of human-space relationships. Qualitative data were collected through participant observation, informal interviews, and the analysis of students’ work documents. The course’s progression and outcomes are evaluated in terms of spatial perception, critical and conceptual thinking, and multisensory engagement with space. This course enhanced students’ abilities to interpret spatial experiences, develop a critical perspective, and produce original solutions to spatial problems within the framework of site-specific and site-determined design approaches. The process of the course exposes the latent potential within user-space interactions and the intermediate spatial practices bridging art and architecture. The research is original in that it suggests that many possibilities for interaction, dialogue, and collaboration between art and architecture can be incorporated into architectural education.Yayın Why self-help housing failed in urban Turkey: A policy and legislation misalignment(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2026-03) Çelikcan, Elif Cemre; Özsoy, AhsenHousing low-income households in Turkey’s urban areas has remained an enduring challenge. During the 1960s, growing housing shortages and economic constraints urged efforts to prevent and upgrade squatter settlements, leading Turkey to adopt self-help housing (SHH) programs for low-cost housing provision. Under the first two five-year development plans (FYDPs), government-assisted SHH initiatives were launched in major cities as part of squatter prevention zones (SPZs). However, the successful beginning of the projects did not lead to successful conclusions; the policy failed to reach its goals in urban areas of Turkey despite the extensive research support. This study investigates the legislative causes behind this failure. It draws on SHH’s core characteristics to analyse its alignment—or misalignment—with Turkey’s policy framework, offering a structured approach to legislative reform. The SHH model is examined across four thematic axes: (1) design process, (2) construction process, (3) actors and roles, and (4) financing mechanisms. The study maps SHH-related regulations in Turkey through a chronological inventory of housing policies, laws, and FYDP targets. Findings highlight the need to restore research-policy dialogue and rethink legislative frameworks to enable viable SHH programs. This study is the first to systematically map Turkey’s legislative misalignments with SHH requirements. It contributes to scholarly debate and future policy-making by offering a novel framework linking architectural theory with policy analysis.
