    Bordering bodily experience / Experiencing border bodily
    (Eastern Mediterranean University Press, 2025) Avcı, Ozan
    The chapter examines the border as a spatial, temporal, bodily, and mnemonic condition rather than merely a political or physical line of separation. Focusing on the divided urban context of Nicosia/Lefkoşa, it argues that borders shape everyday experience by restricting movement, vision, contact, and memory, while also producing intensified forms of perception and awareness.Through a phenomenological perspective, the text challenges dualistic understandings of body and mind, emphasizing that the border is experienced through the whole body. Spatial congestion, folded temporalities, bodily limitation, and constrained memory are presented as key dimensions of border experience. The border is therefore interpreted not only as an instrument of division, but also as an existential and experiential condition that reorganizes how space is sensed, remembered, and inhabited.The chapter also considers artistic, performative, and architectural practices that engage with the buffer zone through movement, sound, memory, and bodily presence. These practices reveal the possibility of rethinking the border as a site of transformation. Rather than treating the border solely as a closed or static barrier, the chapter frames it as a dynamic field where alternative forms of connection, coexistence, and spatial imagination may emerge.

    Architectural Representation as a Body without Organs
    (Routledge, 2024) Avcı, Ozan
    Architectural representation is reconsidered through the concept of the “Body without Organs,” challenging fixed, hierarchical modes of drawing and thinking. The chapter argues that conventional architectural drawings impose rigid structures that limit creativity and perception. Instead, it proposes a fluid, process-oriented approach where representation becomes an open field of experimentation, shaped by encounters, movements, and hybrid practices. Through artistic and architectural examples, the study explores how drawings can dissolve boundaries between body, space, and imagination, enabling new forms of knowledge production. Ultimately, representation is framed as a dynamic, transformative practice that redefines both architectural thinking and the relationship between designer, medium, and environment.

    Üç Ayaklı Kedi Şehri Gezerken: Kırılganlık Metaforu ve Neoliberal Kent Gerçekliği
    (Mimarlık Dergisi - Mimarlar Odası, 2025) Avcı, Ozan
    İstanbul Bienali’nin üç yıla yayılan 18. edisyonunun ilk ayağı, “The Three - Legged Cat” - “Üç Ayaklı Kedi” başlığıyla 20 Eylül – 23 Kasım 2025 tarihleri arasında gerçekleşti. Bienal, küratör Christine Tohmé’nin kedi metaforu üzerinden “hayatta kalma”, “yeniden oluşturma” ve “dönüşüm” temaları çerçevesinde şekillendi. Bienal’den izlenimlerini aktaran yazar, sergi mekânlarının Karaköy merkezli seçimine dikkat çekerek, yazısını Bienal’in İstanbul ile kurduğu kavramsal ve programatik bağ üzerinden kurguluyor; sergi mekânları ile kentin güncel dönüşüm süreçleri arasındaki ilişkiyi eleştirel bir zeminde tartışıyor.

    Mock‐up versus CAD Modeling Preferences of Architecture Students in the Early Design Phase
    (JCoDe: Journal of Computational Design, 2023) Samancı, Buket; Taşpınar, Özge; Karcı, Yaşar Emir; Cengiz, Başak; Özdoğan, Selen; Yıldız Özkan, Dilek; Bittermann, Michael S
    Preferences for using physical mock-up modeling or computer-aided design (CAD) among architecture students in the early design phase are analyzed. The data is obtained from a questionnaire, consisting of eight multiple-choice questions and one open-ended question. The respondents are architecture students; the majority of them are still in their undergraduate studies. As quantitative analysis methods hypothesis tests based on the probability distributions known as the z-distribution, and the Chi-squared distribution were carried out. Generally, it was investigated which modeling technique is more efficient in the early design phase. Moreover, according to the age groups of respondents, the difference in the preference among mock-up and CAD is identified. Explicitly, younger students prefer CAD, while other ones prefer mock-up representation. The reasons for the difference are analyzed. Since the choice for mock-up modeling or CAD modeling can have a strong impact on the design processes of both, students and professionals, the result of the study is relevant, because it gives a hint about probable future architecture practice.

    The Propaganda Power of Urban Views in Selim III's Ottoman Empire
    (Pera Museum Publication 115, 2023) Uğurlu, A. Hilal
    Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire since the mid-fifteenth century, boasts a rich history of panoramic representations that have captivated artists and patrons alike. From the early years, artists affiliated with the retinue of ambassadors to the Ottoman Empire played a significant role in creating these expansive city views. Melchior Lorck’s 11.27-meters long panoramic view of Istanbul, drawn between 1559 and ca. 1563, is one of the earliest attempts to portray the city accurately and in panoramic format. Lorck was an artist assigned to the entourage of the German ambassador to Istanbul, Ogier Ghiselin du Busbecq. In the eighteenth century, the changing nature of diplomatic relations between the Ottoman Empire and European polities led to an increase in the number of embassies and, consequently, the number of artists appointed to these posts. This increase in artistic activity was reflected in the growing number of city views and topographical landscapes of Istanbul produced during this period. Concurrently, the emergence of philhellenism in Europe, coupled with the proliferation of picturesque travel literature, augmented the attention to the Ottoman lands and its capital.

    The Body as the Site of Architectural Knowledge
    (PUBLICA, 2024) Avcı, Ozan
    Architecture is not only about buildings but more about the interwoven relationships betweenthe built environment, people, and other living organisms. So, the knowledge of architecturedoes not merely belong to the world of objects, yet to the whole world that consists of subjectsand objects. Here, the body becomes the mediator that constructs the relationship betweenthese two worlds. Through this relationship knowledge is produced within the body, thus thebody becomes the site of this knowledge production process. In this paper I would like to discussthe discovery and production of architectural knowledge through a theoretical background –based on the interconnected relationships between philosophy, psychology and architecture– and my teaching practices.

    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.
