Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Adaptive Reuse of High-Rise Buildings for Housing: a Study of Istanbul Central Business District(Cogitatio Press, 2024) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Akın, TomrisThe abrupt shift to remote work due to the Covid-19 pandemic increased vacant office spaces globally, especially in high -rent central business districts (CBDs). These vacant office spaces offer the potential for conversion into housing, addressing the shortage of affordable housing in central areas. Additionally, this topic presents a unique experimental ground for architecture students. This study focuses on the Istanbul CBD as a case study, examining the historical developments that led to a rise in office vacancy rates and housing inequality, and exploring the potential for adaptive reuse of these vacant office buildings. A key focus of this study is to underline the pedagogical value of adaptive reuse, highlighting how such projects can inspire more diverse and equitable housing models, fostering experimental and sustainable design approaches. It systematically evaluates the outcomes of a 4th -year architectural design studio that focuses on the adaptive reuse of the Tat Towers in the Istanbul CBD, a structurally vacant high-rise office building, and asks: How does the context of adaptive reuse enable a different design approach, and, potentially, new spatial norms and standards to emerge, and how might this hold a pedagogical value for architecture education? Following these questions, the article discusses how norms and standards are not only culturally but also typologically contextual, and how the students have explored how norms and standards might change, outlining new design approaches to adaptive reuse.Research Project A Workshop "of Journeys/Yolculuklara Dair" as a Part of "vardiya (the Shift)": the Turkish Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Biennale(Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), 2018) Ataş, Zeynep; Akın, Tomris; Paşaoğlu, Ali“Of Journeys” is a workshop that aims to overlap the circulation of matter, the building of Fontego dei Turchi which has become a stopover in that circulation, and the personal journeys of the participants. To this end it tackles its theme in three layers: The first layer refers to the circulation of humans and objects on the Venetian and Ottoman trade routes and in the Mediterranean basin, especially textile raw materials and fabrics; the second layer, the personal accumulation and travels of the students and coordinators who will be brought to the International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia; and the third layer refers to this experience itself, that is, the personal experiences of the viewers who visit and follow the Pavilion of Turkey and the Fontego dei Turchi building.
