Book Part Bordering bodily experience / Experiencing border bodily(Eastern Mediterranean University Press, 2025) Avcı, OzanThe 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.Book Part Architectural Representation as a Body without Organs(Routledge, 2024) Avcı, OzanArchitectural 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.Article Üç Ayaklı Kedi Şehri Gezerken: Kırılganlık Metaforu ve Neoliberal Kent Gerçekliği(Mimarlık Dergisi - Mimarlar Odası, 2025) Avcı, Ozanİstanbul 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.Article 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 SPreferences 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.Article Düşeyi Olmayan Ev(Arredamento Mimarlık, 2021) Avcı, OzanEv, birçok mimarın kavramsal olarak üzerinde düşündüğü ve yapısal olarak denemeler yaptığı bir kavram. Felsefe ve psikolojide de ev kavramı insanın varoluşuyla, bu dünyada kendini konumlandırmasıyla, ikamet etmesiyle ve iç dünyasının dışavurumuyla ilişkilendiriliyor. Örneğin Martin Heidegger inşa etme, düşünme ve ikamet etme eylemlerinin birbirleriyle olan ilişkilerini sorgulayarak evin sınırlarını kavramsal çerçevede genişletiyor1 . Gaston Bachelard insan zihninin yapısıyla evi ilişkilendirerek mahzenden tavan arasına düşey bir kurguda evi şekillendiriyor2 . Benzer bir şekilde Carl Gustav Jung da kendi evini düşeyde gelişen bir kule olarak hayal ediyor3 . Bu noktada tamamen yatay bir kurguya sahip olan “Düzlemsel Ev” (Casa Plana) projesi bir evin kurgusunu, mekansal kalitelerini ve şiirselliğini tartışmak için farklı ve provoke edici bir örnek olarak karşımıza çıkıyor.Article Munzur Dağları, İnekler ve Beton(Arredamento Mimarlık, 2022) Avcı, OzanMaurice Merleau-Ponty “Düşünmek, denemektir, işlem yapmaktır, değiştirmektir” der1 . Arman Akdoğan’ın mimarlık ofisi IND [Inter.National. Design] de Kutluğ Ataman’ın Erzincan’daki Palanga’sında büyükbaş hayvanlar için tasarladıkları projede çokça deneme yapıyor. Malzemeden strüktüre birçok şeyi değiştirerek hem kendilerine tanınan özgürlük alanında deneysel bir yapı inşa etmeye hem de bu yere en uygun mimarlık düşüncesini geliştirmeye çalışıyorlar. Bu süreçte strüktürle ilgili Ahmet Topbaş’ın ofisi ATTEC ile birlikte çalışan ofis; üst yapı olarak betonarme katlı plak döşemelerden, betonarme kiriş ve kolonlardan meydana gelen yapının detaylarını birlikte geliştiriyorlar2 . Katlanmış bir beton plak görünümündeki Yarı Açık Sığır Besi Tesisi bu şekilde ortaya çıkıyor.Book Part The Emergence of Sensation in Architectural Representation(YEM, 2022) Avcı, OzanBook Part Filling in the Blanks(Domeine national de Chambord, 2019) Özdemir, Kürşad; Avcı, Ozan; Uzal, Derya; Serdar Köknar, Burcu; Sarısakal, BerilArticle Deprem Sonrası Hatay İçin Tasarla ve Yap(Ege Mimarlık, 2023) Avcı, Ozan; İnceoğlu, Arda; Çelik, Ceren; Özdemir, Kürşad; Sağlam, Didem; Samancı, Buket; Sert, Esra; Ünver, Büşra; Yıldız, ZülfüyeBook Part Perform Your Prayers in Mosques!: Changing Spatial and Political Relations in Nineteenth-Century Ottoman Istanbul(Intellect Books, 2020) Uğurlu, A. HilalAn article published on May 29, 1852, in the Journal de Constantinople reported a new environmental planning project for Istanbul’s Tophane district. A range of shops would be demolished so that the main street could be widened and transformed into a square that ended at the flamboyant main door of the Nusretiye Mosque (1823–26).Tophane Fountain and certain other neighboring fountains would be renovated, and trees would be planted between the boundaries of the Artillery Barracks and the widened mainstreet, to make the Tophane district ‘the most beautiful, pleasant and healthiest promenade of the city. This reported endeavor was only a small aspect of a larger project that began in the 1840s, after the proclamation of the Gülhane Rescript (November 3, 1839), and it was considered a physical extension of Ottoman modernization. Throughout the long nineteenth century, while the urban fabric of the capital was regularized and adjusted to the expectations and needs of the ongoing modernization efforts, novel building types, such as barracks,schools, and railway stations, and new social spaces, such as parks, theaters, and promenades, emerged. Many existing building types and thus the daily routines shaped by them were also affected.
