    Architectural Writing Laboratory: A Design Learning Experiment
    (2024) Korkmaz, İrem; Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep
    Writing 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.

    Adaptive Reuse of High-Rise Buildings for Housing: a Study of Istanbul Central Business District
    (Cogitatio Press, 2024) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Akın, Tomris
    The 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.

    Cumhuriyet'in Kadın Mimarları
    (İBB Yayınları, 2023) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Dadyan, Saro
    Cumhuriyet 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.

    Design Research and a Shift in Architectural Education and Practice
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Jacoby, Sam
    Research, 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.

    Stüdyoda Pozisyonlar
    (XXI Mimarlık, Tasarım ve Mekan dergisi, 2019) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep
    Stüdyoyu tetikleyecek bir kavramsal tartışma ortamı hazırlamak, temsili bir düşünme aracı olarak kullanmak, stüdyo mekanını ve rolleri dönüştürmek gibi temel taktikleri uzun uzadıya tartışmak mümkün. Bu taktiklerin gelecekte kendi öğrenim programını oluşturmak, işbirliği ve diyalog, deney, doğaçlama, yeni yapma biçimleri ve açık kaynak gibi konuları ön plana taşıyacağı da görülüyor. Fakat hazırlanan bu ortamlarla birlikte, aslında katılımcıların diğerleriyle, sunulan ortamla ve stüdyo mekanıyla kurduğu ilişki stüdyonun ritmini belirliyor. Stüdyo katılımcıları, stüdyo ortamına sahip çıktığı sürece yürütücüsü, üreticisi ve öğreneni oluyor.

    A Design-Build Studio: Kilyos Boathouse [2019]
    (TU Delft Open, 2019) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Sezgin, Ahmet; İnceoğlu, Arda
    As a part of stated curriculum of MEF University Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture, design-build studio is a compulsory summer internship for the students completing their first year in architecture and interior design. Within the framework of the design-build studio, the school communicates its set of values through emphasising learning by doing, implying horizontal learning and underlining the process. This paper will discuss how a design-build studio can be a distinctive subliminal quality of an architecture faculty through the case of Boathouse project conducted during Summer 2018.Boathouse Project is designed and built at Kilyos Beach in Istanbul by the students completing their first year in architecture and interior design for Boun Marine and Sailing Club to store their equipment such as small sailing catamarans and windsurf boards while providing a space for club members to gather. Thirty-five first-year students, four second and third- year student assistants and three tutors designed and built the project for five weeks with the support by Boğaziçi University for materials and accommodation; ZETAS for ground works; and TORID for timber supply. Boun Marine and Sailing Club members also provided voluntary support for logistics and finishing. Boathouse is awarded both for the Turkish Architecture Yearbook 2018 and Project Awards for Architectural Students in Turkey.One of the most distinctive aspects of the project is learning by doing. Direct engagement enables learning through several processes, and design-build studio is a relevant setting to enhance them. In this context, students grew away from the formal setting and relocated in an unfamiliar context to confront with a real world subject. They were responsible with developing a fully-fledged design proposal, making presentations to communicate with the client, keeping working setup in order as well as the building site, tracking material supply, and building the design in a limited timeframe. Students used woodworking tools after having health and safety training and they undertake the shared work items as workgroups each day.The second aspect of the project is horizontal learning. Instead of delivering top-down instructions, educators’ position was ruling out the hierarchy by working, living and making decisions together. In this sense, working setting was an extension of the studio culture, including sex equality among work sharing, team set-up, and dedication to the project. Moreover, each student was responsible for their work items as well as they were responsible to the whole group. Student assistants were exchanging their experience and knowledge with the first-years while they were sharing the responsibility. They were learning from each other.The third aspect is underlining the process of the project. Within a limited timeframe and limited experience, the process is always emphasised considerably more than the final product. In this context, openness was one of the crucial characteristics that led a direct dialogue with the client through a series of meetings with the Boun Marine and Sailing Club members for developing the design together. During the building phase last- ing three weeks, several adaptations were made as responses to challenges and opportunities.Design-build studio is one of the central characteristics of the school. As a common experience, all of the students get involved in this organisation as early as the first-year; and they become a part of the faculty culture. Participation of all of the tutors in design-build studios also provides an introduction for a mutual acquaintance among students and tutors. Moreover, projects include a social aspect either for community service or for community involvement enhancing the purposefulness which then empower the connection with the real life situations. Overall, the design-build studio setting is a unique subliminal quality for architectural education besides its well-known curricular qualities.

    Summer School 'Waterscapes in Transformation', in Blankenberge and Ghent, Belgium
    (University of Leuven, Faculty of Architecture, 2018) Van Daele, Erik; Pillen, Sis; Gheysen, Maarten; Scheerlinck, Kris; Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Türkkan, Sevgi; Gomez Escoda, Eulalia; Carlos, Rute; Labastida, Marta
    How can we define intervention strategies to bridge the gap between large scale and long term planning with short term and small scale interventions that reconfigure the accessibility of a waterscape in transformation as a result of climate change? The landscapes of coastal zones will be confronted first with effects due to climate change. The most influential changes for the coastal zones will be: sea level rising, increase of the temperature, changing rainfall patterns, floods, fragmentation of the ecological system, salinization of the soil and reduced drainage capabilities to sea. A thoughtful planning policy forms the necessary key to a sustainable development. As an answer to the challenge of climate change in the Belgian coast, policies and plans have been developed and implemented at a European, national, regional and local level. These policies and plans lead to the formulation of spatial proposals for mitigation and adaptation, to executed by major infrastructural works planned for the next decades. Most of these infrastructures, conceived at a large scale generate a different model of accessibility for the Belgian Coastal landscape: the relation dry/wet is often inverted, topographic changes imply discontinuities in the landscape, roadways and paths need to be reconfigured to guarantee connectivity. These measures change the overall accessibility and permeability of the region and will change drastically this landscape. It is becoming increasingly clear that these open areas between urban coastal zones will play a crucial role in the future of our coastal landscape. How resilient are they and how can these areas absorb the inevitable climate shocks?

    Institutional Architecture, Alternatives, and Opponents: Discussions on Architecture and Dwelling
    (Royal College of Art, School of Architecture, MPhil/PhD Programmes, 2018) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Eyiler, Mert
    If architecture shaped in relation to authoritarian hierarchies can be defined as institutional architecture, what can be other architectures at a distance to/against the institutional architecture? What are its culture and tools? Discussing this requires an understanding of the relationships between power and society. In response to this, ‘adaptation’ appealed to extend the discussions particularly to dwelling. To adapt and to be adapted are fundamentals of dwelling. Yet, they are usually understood to be limited to the relationship between the user and the space. While, thorough analysis of user-space interactions has informed many works and continue to be a source of architectural knowledge, ‘adaptation’ also extends to a larger network of relationships and stakeholders, as well as to discourses of institutional architecture, its alternatives and its opponents. The roundtable aims to bring these ramification of adaptation in relation to dwelling together. Discussions may consider varying conceptualisations of the word ‘adaptation’, and dwelling. How do users adapt to spaces and self-assert themselves? How do institutions and stakeholders adapt spaces for different purposes? What role do architects play in these?
