Conference Object Architectural Writing Laboratory: A Design Learning Experiment(2024) Korkmaz, İrem; Aydemir, Ayşe ZeynepWriting is a spatial act - exploring different writing modes may unveil new modes of architectural thinking. When contextualised within the architectural framework, writing takes on a transformative role, capable of opening up possibilities for non-visual relationships and interconnected networks, thereby inviting critical inquiry and discourse. In architectural schools, where the design studio is the central focus, this area usually remains less explored, particularly in undergraduate programmes. However, practising architectural writing brings opportunities to students; for instance, they are introduced to and become familiar with spatial thinking in a literary space where their typically visual preconceptions do not operate.Pursuing this perspective, this paper explores how effectively using writing as a design tool can uncover new and unconventional perspectives on architecture and proposes architectural writing as an interdisciplinary learning tool for guiding future architects and architectural design researchers. These issues are examined through an in-depth study of pedagogical objectives and outcomes of the Architectural Speaking and Writing course, a mandatory subject for third-year undergraduate students.The course is structured as a writing laboratory that closely examines forms of architectural writing as primary instruments for finding a critical voice, engaging in critical dialogue, and communicating with the wider public. Through introducing the design of the course structure and analysing the writing exercises, this paper addresses the crucial role that diverse mediums and methods of expression play for students to connect their internal narratives with external realities in architectural education while altering the dominant position of the educator towards a facilitator.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.Book Part Cumhuriyet'in Kadın Mimarları(İBB Yayınları, 2023) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Dadyan, SaroCumhuriyet dönemi İstanbul’unun inşasında kadın mimarların rolünü anlamak için kadınların mimarlık eğitimi almaya başladıkları 1930’lardan itibaren Türkiye’nin mimarlık ortamını etkileyen ekonomik, politik ve kültürel gelişmelere değinmek gerekir. Eğitimli nüfusun ağırlıklı olarak İstanbul’da yaşadığı, yükseköğretime erişimin ayrıcalık olduğu, mimarlık eğitiminin henüz yalnızca İstanbul’da verildiği 1930’larda, toplumsal kimliklerden bağımsız olarak, mimarlık hizmetine yönelik talep genç Cumhuriyet’in kamu yapılarıyla sınırlı kalır. Sivil mimarlık üretimlerine yönelik talep ise mimarların mesleki meşruiyet mücadeleleri ile birlikte 1950’lerde atılan kurumlaşma adımları ile başlar. 1930’lardan bugüne, özellikle erken Cumhuriyet döneminin kamu yapıları; 1950’lerde çok partili dönemle beraber gelişen büyük ölçekli konut ve altyapı projeleri; 1980 sonrası ekonomi politikaları ile artan ticari yapılar ve turizm yapıları sürecin önemli eşikleri ve yapılı çevredeki yansımaları olarak tarif edilebilir.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Architectural Design Research in Small Practices(Emerald, 2022) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Jacoby, SamThere has been a recently growing interest by architects in practice-based research and the impact of research. At the same time, several post-graduate architecture programmes with practice-led research agendas were founded. This shift towards architectural design research is analysed using the notions of “process-driven research”, “output-driven research” and “impact”. The study aims to investigate and unveil the link between graduate programmes and graduates with a research interest and to test the tripartite model of “process-driven research”, “output-driven research” and “impact” in the context of small architectural practices. The study uses a qualitative and exploratory research approach that includes 11 in-depth interviews conducted in 2020, during the first nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom (UK) selected interviews were architects representing (1) members or alumni of practice-related graduate architecture programmes in London and (2) founders of London-based small architectural practices within the last decade. While focussing on the London context, the paper offers transferable insights for the key potentials of practice-led design research in small architectural practices and the actions that might improve research practice. This paper addresses a lack of studies on how design research differs between diverse types and sizes of architectural firms, why emerging small architectural practices increasingly engage with research and how this shapes their practice. This knowledge is important to fully understanding architectural design research and its strengths or weaknesses.Conference Object Design Research and a Shift in Architectural Education and Practice(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Jacoby, SamResearch, once associated only with academia, now equally connects to learning and practice in architecture, as focus has shifted towards a wider design research community. Research has become inclusive of formerly marginalised areas such as process-oriented and practice-based research in the arts and humanities as well as applied commercial research undertaken by industry. Providing a first study of this shift, this paper explores why design research is of growing importance to architecture. It systematically analyses a selection of current cases at the intersection of architectural practice and education within the UK to survey existing design research approaches, and asks: How can design research transform and create new architectural practices and forms of education? Following this question, the paper discusses some of the design research models used across architectural practice and education.Conference Object A Design-Build Studio: Kilyos Boathouse [2020](European Association for Architectural Education, 2020) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Sezgin, Ahmet; İnceoğlu, ArdaAs a part of the stated curriculum of MEF University Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture, Design and Build! Studio (DBS) is a compulsory summer programme for students completing their first year in architecture and interior design. Within the framework of Design and Build! Studio, the school communicates its set of values through emphasising learning by doing, horizontal learning and underlining the process. This paper discusses how a design‑build studio can be a distinctive hidden quality of an architecture faculty through the case of Kilyos Boathouse project conducted in Summer 2018.
