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 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, ZülfüyeArticle Designing and building follies as a pedagogical approach in architectural design education(UOU scientific journal, 2021) Avcı, OzanArchitectural education has its own unique character in-between rational and creative thinking. Within this wide perspective, learning by doing becomes important so as to cover different aspects of this education. At MEF University Faculty of Arts Design and Architecture (FADA), we we've created a unique program called Design-Build Studio (DBS) in order to push creating and doing beyond the boundaries of architectural design studios at universities. In this essay, I would like to focus on follies that we have been designing since 2015 in our DBS program as a pedagogical approach in architectural design education. Follies are pregnant points that can give birth to various forms and functions. Their open structure allows a collective design process with the participation of tutors, students, users, locals, municipalities, and NGOs. Through DBS project our students get a real design experience in a real place with real people, discover the difficulties of this process, improve their communication skills and comprehend the power of design to be used as a tool to improve the lives of everyone. As a result, we believe that designing and creating follie-like structures is critical in architectural design education.Conference Object The Body as the Site of Architectural Knowledge(PUBLICA, 2024) Avcı, OzanArchitecture 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.
