    Prototyping as a tool and a process in architectural education
    (MEF Üniversitesi, 2022) Şahinkaya Bucak, Ebru; Bucak, Ebru Şahinkaya; Özdemir, Kürşad; Sezgin, Ahmet
    Bir kavram ve uygulama olarak mimarlık için prototipleme, diğer alanlarda olduğu gibi somut bir çalışma modeli oluşturmanın ötesindedir. İnşa ederken tasarımın devam ettiği ve aynı anda deneyimlemenin sağlanabildiği bütünsel, öğretici bir süreci kapsar. Ayrıca prototipleme, teori ve pratik arasında gidip gelen mimarlığın alanını anlamaya yardımcı olan bir eyleme dönüşebilir. Bu tez çalışmasının amacı, prototipleme kavramının mimarlık eğitimi başta olmak üzere mimari çalışmalara dahil edilmesinin faydalarını belirlemektir. Zaman içinde, ustadan çırağa aktarılan mimarlık bilgisi bugün genellikle sanat ve mühendisliğin iç içe olduğu okullarda öğretilen formal bir sisteme dönüşmüştür. Bu duruma karşılık, eğitim sürecinde mimarlık ürünü praksisini, sadece kağıt üzerinde bir tasarım olarak var etmemek, inşa süreçlerini ve sonrasını da tahayyül etmek, tasarımcı ve öğrencisinin farklı alan potansiyelleri ile yüzleşmesini ve çözüm üretebilmesini sağlar. İnşa etmeyi mimarlık eğitim sürecine dahil etmiş programlar bu anlamda kritik örneklerdir. Bu tezde inşa pratiği prototip üretimi üzerinden okunacak ve çeşitli Tasarla-İnşa et Programları hakkında bilgiler kullanılarak değerlendirme yapılacaktır. Ek olarak, 21. yüzyılda değişen mimar ve mimarlık pratiğine bir cevap olarak, tasarım, inşa ve sonrası bir süreç olarak değerlendirilecek, inşa ederek öğrenmeyi önemseyen; AA Hooke Park, ITKE University of Stuttgart, Rural Studio, Ciudad Abierta/Open City, MEF FADA DBS/AAP olmak üzere farklı beş coğrafyadan beş programın prototiplemeye yaklaşımları, öğrenme süreçleri, katılımcıları ve kullandıkları araçlar incelenecektir.

    Selimiye as a Commemorative Monument in Modern Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025-01-21) Sezgin, Ahmet
    Selimiye, an Ottoman dynastic mosque, became a contested site of memory in the 20th century. As the Ottoman Empire disintegrated, Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey all had ambitions and even temporary control over Edirne during the first decades of the 20th century. Its unique location at the crossroads of nation-states provides fertile ground for investigating the role of architectural heritage in the formation of a nation's collective memory, with a consideration of transnational influences. This article investigates the development and reception of commemorations involving the monument through close readings of newspaper reports from Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, as well as international media. It reveals the transnational dimension in forming a national frame of remembrance for the liberation of Edirne.

    Osmanlı Sonrasında Balkanlarda Halk Anlatılarının ve Mimarlık Mirasının Sahiplenilmesi
    (2025-07-16) Sezgin, Ahmet
    Bir yapı ustasının, İkarus efsanesine benzer şekilde, inşa ettiği yapıdan düşmesi veya uçarak kaçması, Balkanlar’da yaygın bir halk anlatısıdır. Bu içerikteki anlatılardan biri Edirne’deki Selimiye Camii’ni de konu eder ve ilk olarak 19. yüzyılın sonlarında Bulgaristan’da kaydedilmiştir. Bu halk anlatısı, 1930’lar ve 1940’lar boyunca Türk ve Bulgar milliyetçi söylemleri arasında millî sınırları aşan bir tartışmanın odağı haline gelmiştir. Bu süreçte, Osmanlı mimari mirasının milliyetçi akımlar tarafından sahiplenilmesinin ve ulusal kimlik oluşumlarının kesişiminde kalmıştır. Bu makale, bu halk anlatılarının çeşitliliğini ortaya koyduktan sonra, milliyetçi hareketlerin bu anlatıların çağdaş yorumlarına, Osmanlı mimari sahiplenmesi bağlamında nasıl yaklaştığını irdelemektedir. Bu yaklaşımlar ve tartışmalar irdelenirken, makale halk anlatıların senkretizmi ile ulusal kimlik inşası arasındaki gerilimi ortaya koymaktadır.

    A Design-Build Studio: Kilyos Boathouse [2020]
    (European Association for Architectural Education, 2020) Aydemir, Ayşe Zeynep; Sezgin, Ahmet; İnceoğlu, Arda
    As 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.

    Commemorations of Sinan: Creating a National Hero in Turkey in the 1930s
    (Intellect, 2023-01-01) Sezgin, Ahmet
    Sinan (d.1588) is the most renowned architect of the Ottoman Empire. His buildings, located throughout the eastern Mediterranean, were central to a dynastic and religious architectural heritage that was inherited by a modern and secular Turkish nation state, established in 1923. This article examines how Sinan was refashioned as a national hero in the early decades of the Republic. It focuses on commemorations of Sinan and their major venue: his Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul. In my analysis of these commemorations, I draw on a wide and diverse array of primary source materials, including written, photographic, artistic, and other visual materials from the 1930s and 1940s that are located in official, semi-official, and other collections. By doing so, this article reveals how the variety of nationalist approaches to Sinan and his architecture coexisted and competed.

    Ethnic Appropriation of Folk Narratives and Architecture in the Post-Ottoman Balkans
    (Trakya Univ Balkan Yerlesesi Enstituler Binasi, 2025) Sezgin, Ahmet
    Folk narratives about a master builder who falls or flies from the structure he built, similar to the myth of Icarus, are widespread in the Balkans. One such narrative, involving the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, was first recorded in Bulgaria at the end of the 19th century. This narrative became a focal point of transnational debate between Turkish and Bulgarian nationalist rhetoric during a period of interstate tension in Thrace in the 1930s and 1940s. It intersected with the appropriation of Ottoman architectural heritage and the formation of national identity within a transnational context during the first half of the 20th century. After revealing the diversity of these folk narratives, this article explores how nationalist movements engage with modern reinterpretations of these narratives in the context of Ottoman architectural appropriation. While exploring this debate, the article highlights the tension between the syncretism of the narratives and the processes of national identity formation.
