Conference Object Citation Count: 0The skeletal and heaped characteristic of traditional masonry structures(2009) Alioğlu, Emine Füsun; Alper, BerrinJust as in all pre-industrial societies the historic structures in Anatolia derive from two materials timber and stone. In timber construction two categories namely heaped construction and skeletal construction are clearly distinguishable. In research to date it can be seen that these categories have been clearly defined and explained. Yet structural definitions in masonry buildings are mostly limited to the term heaped construction. However in traditional masonry structures it is possible to see whether clearly or under a layer a construction that reminds one of skeletal construction. In this paper historical masonry structures that have been often described as heaped construction but which actually contain both heaped and skeletal system characteristics will be discussed. This dual-system will be examined with examples from Ottoman mosques and masonry houses in Anatolia. © 2009 WIT Press.Article Citation Count: 0Luleburgaz Train Station At The Turn Of The Twentieth Century(Middle East Technical Univ, 2011) Erkan Kösebay, YoncaThe literature on the architecture of the Ottoman railway buildings is highly limited. In terms of architectural history the data presented here gathered through original documents at archives and personal collections is especially significant. In this paper five original drawings are introduced. Based on these documents information on the construction techniques plans and materials of the railway buildings are revealed. It is also understood that in this particular period of time several revisions were made in the original plan(ning) of the station such as the lodgments which were added for new officers. In that sense this paper illuminates the stratified history of the railway construction in the Ottoman Empire through one particular example. The original documents presented here vary in scale (from 1/25000 to 1/100) which makes it possible to deduce information from the level of urban scale to the level and scale of materials in concern. Other than the drawings hand written notes on these plans provide momentous data concerning the railway history.Article Citation Count: 0Yirminci yüzyılın başında Lüleburgaz tren istasyonu(2011) Erkan Kösebay, Yonca[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 11Railway heritage of Istanbul and the Marmaray Project(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2012) Erkan Kösebay, YoncaThis study explores the significance of Istanbul's railway heritage and discusses the criteria for evaluating the historical importance architectural value and social issues surrounding the city's rail system leading into an examination of the consequences of the Marmaray Project. The Marmaray Project is a commuter rail system designed to unify Istanbul's two independent rail transportation systems and it will connect Halkali on the European side with Gebze on the Asian side of the city. With the beginnings of rail construction in the 1870s the waters of the Bosphorus separated the Oriental Railway on the European side from the Anatolian and the Baghdad Railway preventing a direct connection between Europe and Asia. The Marmaray Project will actualize this universal long desired dream via an under water tunnel. However the design of the project bears significant risks for the city's railway heritage dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. At risk are structures used by travelers lodgings ateliers depots water closets (WC's) underpasses retaining walls bridges and old trees.Other Rekonstrüksiyon ya da yeniden yapma, hangi yapı için? Taksim topçu kışlası için bir değerlendirme(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2013) Alioğlu, Emine Füsun[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 0Woman, home, and the question of ıdentity: A critical review of feminist literature(Doğu Akdeniz Üniversitesi Kadın Araştırmaları ve Eğitimi Merkezi, 2013) Kılıçkıran, DidemMuch ink has been spilled over the association of women with the material and imaginary geographies of the home. In this paper, I will discuss this association with reference to the feminist literature on the home, which, in the second half of the last century, produced a fascinating critique of the home as part of a larger debate on the connection between space and place and the construction of gender relations and ideologies. I will focus particularly on how the problem of the home in feminism has been defined as one of identity, referring to some key works in feminist literature that have put forward notions of the home as a place that women have to leave behind if they are to find their identities beyond those imposed upon them by society at large. In doing this, I will also give voice to criticisms that have been raised from within feminism itself against a totally negative depiction of the home, and discuss whether it is possible to envisage a more positive image of the home in feminism in relation to women’s identities.Article Citation Count: 1Haydarpasa Train Station: Present Past And Future(Middle East Technical Univ, 2013) Erkan Kösebay, YoncaThe facade of Haydarpasa Train Station has been changed more than once in the course of its century old life time. Until the fire in November 2010 wiping out the roof the building was recalled only with a single image although the original facade of the building was slightly different than it is commonly remembered one. Currently while the wounds of the building are on the verge of healing a new identity for the station is being tailoredArticle Citation Count: 1Designed by Balyan Family: The Sa'dabad Mosque(Yıldız Technical Univ Fac Architecture, 2015) Alioğlu, Emine FüsunSa'adabad Mosque was built as an imperial mosque in the Tulip period (1718-1730) which corresponds to the reign of Ahmet III. The mosque was built in an area very popular in the Tulip Period at Kagithane and not in traditional districts of Istanbul such as the historic peninsula Uskudar or Eyup. This unusual choice of location is a reflection of the characteristics of its time. At the second half of the century new and different concepts in architecture were assessed in the Ottoman land and especially in urban Istanbul. Tulip Period was a period when western influences were first and naively flourished in the built environment. For the first time decoration program outside of the classical canon of Ottoman architecture were witnessed on details of the decorative elements such as doors windows and inscriptions and fountains as the focus of urban space were set at the centers of the squares and construction activity gained pace extramuros. The most fascinating work of the period is the Sa'adabad Palace built outside the historic peninsula by the Kagithane Creek. Sa'dabad Mosque was built in 1135/1722 within the Sa'dabad Palace. It was repaired at the times of Selim III (HD. 1789-1807) and Mahmut II (HD. 1808-1839). The original architecture of the mosque is unknown. Because the existing mosque was rebuilt by Abdulaziz (HD. 1861-1876) in 1279/1862 it is identified as the Aziziye Mosque after the Sultan Abdulaziz as well. The architect of this last mosque is the Balyan Family who had significant role at the construction activity of the period. It is accepted that Architect Sarkis Balyan together with his brother Agop Balyan were responsible from the construction.Article Citation Count: 0EAHN Conference Dublin June 2-5 2016: Closing Remarks(Ubiquity Press Ltd, 2016) Bozdoğan, SibelA summary of the EAHN conference in Dublin in 2016 EAHN: Fourth International Meeting and an overview of the state of the field.Book Review Citation Count: 0Building Modern Turkey: State Space and Ideology in the Early Republic(Cambridge Univ Press, 2016) Bozdoğan, Sibel[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Citation Count: 0Writing model making and inventing in Paul Scheerbart’s The Perpetual Motion Machine(Taylor & Francis, 2018) Ekinci, Sevil EnginsoyFirst published in German in 1910 and in English as late as 2011 Das Perpetuum Mobile: Die Geschichte einer Erfindung/The Perpetual Motion Machine: The Story of an Invention narrates the German visionary writer and artist Paul Scheerbart’s (1863-1915) obsessive efforts to produce numerous models of a fantastic machine. Written in the form of a diary between 1907 and 1910 and supplemented by twenty-six diagrams the book is a record of his “flights of imagination” manifested in a series of fanciful futures to be created by the machine. As such it is a documentation of this process as well as of his emotional state oscillating between hope and dissappointment laughter and frustration. While reading the book as “the story of an invention” this chapter traces Scheerbart’s use of the words “story” and “machine” synonymously meaning an “invented story/machine” and focuses on the role played by model making in this process of “invention.” Here it draws attention to the central place occupied by architecture in Scheerbart’s futuristic scenarios through the models of “a colossal art of space” to be exhibited in “a gigantic architectural park” covering “the entire Harz region” in Germany in a scale “larger than anything we have witnessed in architecture up to now.” Accordingly the chapter aims to discuss the book’s relevancy to today’s architectural education as a design tool of writing/making the model of an architectural “story”/“machine” which documents its own process of “invention.” © 2018 Taylor & Francis.Article Citation Count: 6Viewpoint: Historic Urban Landscape Approach for Sustainable Urban Development(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Erkan Kösebay, Yonca[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 3Border as "Zone of Indistinction": The State of Exception and the Spectacle of Terror Along Turkey's Border With Syria(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Tuncer-Gürkaş, EzgiTurkey's border with Syria today is a laboratory in which biopolitics and the spectacle coincide in new ways. As a consequence of the ongoing war between the state and Kurdish insurgents, and the state of emergency accompanying it, this border region has incrementally transformed into a zone of indistinction in which the spatial concepts of inside and outside interpenetrate. As exception is normalized, the logic of the camp (in Agamben's sense) tends to become a dispositif. Exceptional routines are being exercised in this border region both to (re)construct the figure of the Kurd as a citizen and to generalize the domain of the camp, while also producing bare life in the context of counterterrorism. However, the Kurd as a subject cannot be ambiguously constructed, neither can the region be politically homogenized. Based on multisited fieldwork in the border city of Mardin, I claim that this zone of indistinction is simultaneously the place of revolt and resistance for the Kurdish case. Against this backdrop, the article argues the practical implications of counterterrorism policies in the region by focusing on how the state of exception is enforced on the Kurdish population as a biopolitical tool while being represented as a public spectacle to the rest of Turkey.Article Citation Count: 1Haydarpasa-Gebze Railway as a Heritage of Landscape Infrastructure(Scibulcom Ltd, 2018) Yıldırım-Okta, BirgeThe modernisation of the suburban railway on the Asian side of Istanbul is part of the ongoing Marmaray Project. The 44.2 km commuter line, composed of twenty-seven stations was opened in 1872, during the period of Ottoman Sultan Abdulaziz. For the Ottomans the railway played a major role in the metamorphosis of the city/country. The establishment of railways marked a new era in the urban life of Ottoman towns and cities. The railway stations manifested modernisation, built to promote European architectural designs and became an integral part of urban social life. After the establishment of the Turkish Republic and the State Railways Company, the commuter line remained a key part of national policy and was seen as a manifestation of the young republic. The Marmaray Project aims to upgrade and join Asian and European suburban railway through a tunnel already built under the Bosporus. The work includes the demolition of old, original railway structures which are part of the architectural heritage of the historic railway network; also means the loss of an ecological green corridor. The research mainly discusses the need for preservation of the railway heritage, addressing its social and ecological benefits for the metropolitan city.Article Citation Count: 0ECOLOGICAL STRATEGIES FOR DESIGNING HALYS RIVER: A LANDSCAPE OF FLUX(Scibulcom Ltd, 2019) Yıldırım-Okta, BirgeNatural and manmade disasters led to the emergence of new approaches in designing our environment in the postindustrial era. Modern technological infrastructures failure to respond to the challenges from environmental hazards led the designers to restructure the landscape. This in turn, led to a shift in landscape architecture, planning and architecture discipline. In the past decade green infrastructure has been a topic for debate among practitioners and theorists across different disciplines, ranging from architecture, urban planning, engineering to geography and biology. The discourse appears to be an operational and promising tool in planning, designing resilient eco-system based infrastructures. This paper discusses an interdisciplinary design proposal for Sivas, Halys River in a landscape urbanistic manner. The aim of the project was to create a cultural and ecological corridor in Sivas, Turkey that is adaptable to changes and dynamics over time, considerate to ecosystem and human conditions. In the light of discourse of green infrastructure the paper derives adaptive design strategies for ecological urbanism.Article Citation Count: 1The making of the 'new woman': narratives in the popular illustrated press from the Ottoman Empire to the new Republic (1890-1920s)(Routledge Journals, 2019) Hiz, GürbeyThe genre of social narrative was prominent in the printed press of the Ottoman Empire to the early Republic of Turkey (1850s-1920s). The ideological narratives disseminated through the periodical press were influential in the establishment of a new, changing society and social space. Starting in the second half of the nineteenth century, both male and female writers debated the position of women within the changing public setting. Various articles by various authors with various aims constructed multiple imaginations of the 'new woman' by the 1930s. The shifting concepts of womanhood entered the public debate with articles on the modern woman versus the women of the past and discussions on what makes a modern woman. Articles in newspapers and political magazines of the era debated the equality of the new woman in the public sphere. In contrast to them, popular almanacs brought the discussion of womanhood into the domestic space. Turkish-language almanacs contained effectual narratives of the culture of domesticity that helped to imagine and establish multiple modes of new womanhood interwoven with the notion of the home. This article attempts to trace the ideas of the "new woman" and the culture of domesticity that were used particularly in the illustrations found in three different Turkish-language almanacs specifically aimed at female readers in the 1920s, by discussing them as visual narratives.Article Citation Count: 0Rediscovering Goethe's Concept of Polarity: A New Direction For Architectural Morphogenesis(Middle East Technical University, 2020) Gökmen, SabriThis paper will introduce Goethe's concept of polarity to discuss its theoretical and computational implications on natural and architectural morphogenesis (1). Polarity, as a dualist principle, is found in most of Goethe's body of works, particularly in his treatise on colour and botanical writings. This concept is explored from a morphogenetic perspective to reconsider Goethe's engagement with natural sciences during Enlightenment where he transfers his ideas on form and growth to architecture. In the first part, morphogenesis as a concept for the study of organic growth is discussed that combines modern research in biology and architecture. In the second part, Goethean morphology as a unified science founded on polar principles is presented to discuss a historical perspective to morphogenesis. Here, Goethe's concept of metamorphosis is highlighted as a principle founded on polarity, formulated with alternating cycles of expansion and contraction. These concepts are explicated using an algorithmic study of leaf development to discuss its morphogenetic application to the study of form and growth in natural morphogenesis. In the last part, Goethe's morphological views are extended towards architecture within the framework of organicism where his ideas on the polarity are directed towards the aesthetic reception and formal development of the built environment. Comparing the form of two Gothic cathedrals, Laon and Noyon, the paper will offer a developmental model based on the concept of metamorphosis as an alternative trajectory for morphological research in architecture.Article Citation Count: 0Homeomorphic architecture: Radial prisons and contracted graphs(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020) Gökmen, SabriThis paper introduces a type of graph called 'homeomorphically irreducible tree' (HIT) and explores its analytical and computational aspects in the architecture of radial prison plans. As a theoretical introduction, HITs are first diagrammatically presented using a taxonomy of 20 different radial prisons. Using this analysis, a generative algorithm that transforms plan connectivity to a simple sequential numeric representation is developed. This method is applied as an architectural plan generator that is parametrically explored using graphs as building skeletons with configurable wing typologies. The aim of the paper is to lay the foundation of a new graph-based approach for the morphogenetic study of symmetry in architectural plans.Article Citation Count: 0Metamorphic Leaves(Mıt Press, 2020) Gökmen, SabriThis article introduces an algorithm influenced by Goethe's concept of metamorphosis capable of generating a wide range of parametric leaf forms. Metamorphosis is defined as alternating stages of expansion and contraction that are observable during the development of flowering plants. This principle is extended toward leaf morphology, where two main developmental trajectories are outlined. By formulating simple two-dimensional geometric rules, the author tests the concept of metamorphosis on parametric leaf forms.Book Part Citation Count: 0The Fourth Istanbul Design Biennial: A School of Schools(INTELLECT LTD, 2020) Yıldırım, Yağmur[Abstract Not Available]
