Adaptive Re-use of Medieval Caravanserais in Central Anatolia
(GANGEMI EDITORE S P A, PIAZZA SAN PANTALEO 4, ROMA, 00186, ITALY, 2019) Yoney, Nilufer Baturayolu; Asiliskender, Burak; Urfalioglu, Nur; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
Kayseri, located at the junction of two major trade routes from northeast to southwest and from southeast to northwest, has been a commercial center for at least 4,000 years. The 23,500 tablets found at the Assyrian trade colony in Kanesh-Karum dating around 2,000 BCE and located 20km from the modern city provide ample proof. The great number and relevant size of Medieval caravanserais around the city as well as commercial buildings at the center indicate that this importance continued. Some of these caravanserais are already in use, albeit with inadequate architectural preservation measures while others are abandoned and/or partially destroyed. Indeed, the preservation, restoration and adaptive re-use of Medieval buildings is a major problematic, bringing out issues and interventions related to lacunae and reintegration, liberation or clearance of additions, structural strengthening with traditional/contemporary technologies, partial reconstruction, consolidation, cleaning and conservation of original building materials, and preventive maintenance. This paper aims to consider the possible presentation and adaptive re-use of Seljukid caravanserais over and inventory of accessible and at least partially preserved examples, focusing on eight case studies from the late 12th and 13th centuries: Karatay Han (1240), Tuzhisar Sultan Han (1232-1236), Eshab-i Kehf Han (before 1235), Cirgalan Han, Saruhan, Agzikarahan (1231-1240), Alayhan and Oresin Han.
Adaptive reuse of industrial heritage: Resilience or irreparable loss?
(Docomomo, 2016) Baturayoğlu-Yöney, Nilüfer; Asiliskender, Burak; Özer, Aysegul; 0000-0003-3161-9415; 0000-0002-4143-4214; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Baturayoğlu-Yöney, Nilüfer; Asiliskender, Burak
The restoration and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage buildings and complexes, which present structurally and functionally resilient shells, provide us with an interesting dilemma in theory and practice: made of hard wearing materials to house straining functions and to last as long as possible, they are also flexible enough to adapt to almost any new purpose as a container. However, the presence of original machinery and equipment as well as designs based on machine-buildings may reduce the possibilities of adaptive reuse to a museum, where the buildings exhibit themselves, retaining the social, economic, historic and public aspects of cultural heritage as documents. Although originally built on the outskirts of urban settlements, today most industrial heritage complexes occupy central locations in the metropolitan sprawl of major cities. If disused, they are considered obsolete brownfields by local authorities and citizens despite personal and collective memories that may be attached to them. Their conversion into new uses presents major technical difficulties that require expertise in design and implementation. This paper discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage and inherent problems, focusing on the case of the Sümerbank Kayseri Textile Factory (I. Nikolaev, Turkstroj, 1932-1935), which is being transformed into the campus of Abdullah GUI University. The restoration, renovation and adaptive reuse projects for different components of the complex follow similar principles of preservation and sustainability while they are modified to fit the architectural and technological characteristics of each building. Thus, although conversive and easily adaptable, the preservation of industrial architectural heritage becomes a dilemma between disruption and continuity, which the architects have to solve going beyond the possibilities of mere building stock on the one hand and that of the museum on the other.
Architectural Restoration projects in metropolitan areas: the case of the Supyo Bridge
(SCUOLA PITAGORA EDITRICE, 2015) Polimeni, Beniamino; Piscitelli, M; 0000-0003-1935-8523; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Polimeni, Beniamino
In the last ten years, Asian metropolises have invested large amounts of money in urban renewal projects by encouraging large-scale environmental interventions that re-introduced nature to the cities and promoted a specific identity for the downtown areas. Among these projects, the restoration of the Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul is the most well-known case. The transformation of the river in twenty-nine months from an outdated highway into a multipurpose linear park deserves recognition as a pivotal project in modern urban design. The plan is an outstanding achievement that recovers the biological and social ecology of the city and demonstrates the keen ability of design at the urban scale to generate concrete transformation successfully over vast territories. As an example of a process of urban identity, the creation of this large-scale intervention evokes the historical legacy of the city and has been considered a step towards redeveloping the city's cultural heritage. The construction of a network of pedestrian pathways to connect the historic places and the restoration of the historic monuments are part of a cultural strategy characterized by a long debate of how to restore these areas. In particular, the restoration of two historic bridges Gwangtonggyo and Supyogyo was a highly controversial section of the plan as several interest groups voiced opinions on how to restore historical and cultural sites and their remnants and whether to replace the bridges or not. This article will examine the different restoration strategies designed for the Supyo Bridge ( Supyogyo) that has stood in the Jangchungdan Park since 1965 and, according to the main project, should be relocated in its original position.
Bidding for Olympic and Paralympic games, a tool for transportation investments and tourism? The case of Istanbul
(Routledge, 2023) Baş, Ahmet; Delaplace, Marie; 0000-0002-1674-1597; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Baş, Ahmet
Since the start of the modern Olympic Games, and more recently the Paralympic Games, urban development linked to this mega-event has changed: the mono-stadium model typical of the early modern Games has been replaced by the model of an Olympic district. Because the events take place across multiple sites, the Games are often associated with investments in transportation. The paper aims to explore how, even in the case of a failed bid to stage the Olympic and Paralympic Games (OPGs), bidding for the Games can give rise to urban developments. In particular, bidding to host the Games can contribute to the reinforcement of transportation infrastructure. This study draws upon the case of the Istanbul bid. The Istanbul case is analyzed from the perspective of the bidding process before and after the reference to the Olympic Committee. The study examines the changes in the capacity of the transportation and tourist infrastructure through the official reports, statistics and annuals, as well as related literature. The case shows how bidding for big events such as the OPGs can drive investment and directly or indirectly impact economic activities, in particular in the tourism sector, whatever the result of the bidding process.
A chapter in the modernization of Turkey: damming the rivers, claiming the natural landscape, and building of the Seyhan Dam in Cilicia
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2020) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
This article examines building of the Seyhan Dam (1953-1956) in Turkey. Both Turkish and American agents played significant roles for planning and implementation of the project during the Cold War era. The 1950s provided necessary conditions in Turkey for the rise of new actors and developments to facilitate transition from limited modernity, which had mostly manifested in urban areas, to a more comprehensive state of modernity extended to rural areas. This extension had irrevocable impacts on the natural landscape as well. By referring to some patterns of modernization, this article posits building of the Seyhan Dam as a significant example to demonstrate how state-led modernization extended its scope by means of taming rivers and opening of plains for agriculture in the Cilician (cukurova) region from late Ottoman to Republican periods.
Conceptual Research of Movement in Kinetic Architecture
(GAZI UNIV, CENTER CAMPUS TECHNOLOGY FAC B BLOCK EK BINA, 2ND FL, ANKARA, 06500, TURKEY, 2018) Ilerisoy, Zeynep Yesim; Pekdemir Basegmez, Merve; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
In this study, the place of movement concept in architectural design is investigated; the possibilities provided to the user by evaluating the varying potentials in architectural design have been discussed as a hypothesis. In this direction, movement concept in kinetic structures applied from the 20th century to today are examined. The paper depends on a qualitative methodology, which is a non-numerical method that depends on constructed cases in order to support research hypothesis. Relations, differences and conceptual partnerships between cases have been revealed by investigating the application points of movement and user participation in the design of these structures that is fast-spreading particularly. From the studied examples, it is determined that the surface movement is preferred, when the movement point is taken into consideration the facades are primarily used, and the most common movement type is the sliding movement. Afterwards, it has been revealed that the different physical properties of the movement and the possibilities that are provided change independently of each other. Even in many cases the movement is preferred due to multiple purposes. The most common purpose is adapting to environmental conditions. As a result, this study, which aims to strengthen the perception of architects, will set an example for the development of kinetic architecture.
Determination of the acoustical performance of multipurpose music classrooms
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Aslan, Ahmet; Oktav, Akın; Metin, Buket; 0000-0002-9212-4523; 0000-0001-7539-7776; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Aslan, Ahmet; Metin, Buket
It is important to analyse the multipurpose music classrooms (MMCs), where active teaching and music practice are held in the same space, with an eligible acoustical parameter set. In the current study, three different operational conditions (OCs) are introduced to determine such a parameter set, which includes T30, EDT, D50, C80, and STI. The aim of the study is to outline the acoustical performance of the MMCs according to the OCs. The acoustical performance of three MMCs located in three different schools is investigated. For the experimental component of the study, impulse response tests are conducted in the MMCs. The computational analysis incorporates the construction of 3D models of the MMCs. To cope with the epistemic uncertainties, a model update study is performed by synthesizing the experimental and computational outcomes. The results of the updated models are then compared to the regulations and the relevant studies available in the literature.
Diverse viewpoints on tactical urbanism in vacant lots: a collaborative design with young planner candidates in Türkiye
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2024) Görgün, Esra Kut; Kaya, İlgi Atay; AGÜ, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Mimarlık Ana Bilim Dalı; Görgün, Esra Kut
Urban design and planning require collaborative processes that integrate diverse user perspectives. Tactical urbanism involves small, temporary interventions in public spaces to meet daily needs through the collaboration of various stakeholders. This paper aims to foster tactical urbanism in vacant lots, emphasising the significance of incorporating diverse perspectives. The study, based on participatory action research, discusses the individual viewpoints of young city planner candidates assuming diverse roles across three themes: belonging, aesthetics, and usefulness, and to evaluate the results of two-method exercises applied in the Kar & scedil;& imath;yaka case study in & Idot;zmir. Participants, consisting of students from various universities in T & uuml;rkiye, expressed their individual opinions and collective viewpoints through the techniques of photovoice and six thinking hats, respectively. Comparing two methods for evaluating vacant lots within three themes of tactical urbanism demonstrated that the photovoice technique enabled students to search for meanings of spaces and express their thoughts through photos. Meanwhile, the six thinking hats technique facilitated empathy towards diverse perspectives. The findings underscore the essentiality of adopting a holistic approach to urban design that encompasses aesthetics, functionality, and inclusivity, integrating diverse opinions. Young planner candidates in this study acknowledged the importance of collaboration and diverse perspectives in urban design and planning.
Educating Masses: The Committee of Union and Progress Clubs and Schools in the Late Ottoman Empire
(Routledge, 2022) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; 0000-0002-8434-7882; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem
This article examines the social and architectural context of an extensive building campaign in Turkey in the early twentieth cen-tury. The Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), one of the Second Constitutional Period’s prominent political and cultural actors (1908–18), commissioned club and school buildings for social outreach operations. Influenced by their European counterparts, the Committee’s protagonists believed that a social revolution could be accomplished by employing the education of the masses. Moreover, education was also essential to create a national identity for an Empire in a struggle. In this context, many clubs (for adults) and schools (for the youngsters) mushroomed in many cities simul-taneously. Accordingly, the architecture of new club and school buildings reflected societal concerns and provided remarkable examples of their kinds. The education of the masses and the use of social propaganda by state agents in Republican Turkey have been scrutinized so far. Still the origins of the social engineering projects should be examined to contextualize Republican period developments. Thus, this article examines the building and impact of the clubs and schools of the CUP in the provinces and constitutes a contextual frame for their formative role in Turkish modernization.
Enhancing Oil Rejection in PVDF and PSF membranes: The Role of SiO2 NPs
(WILEY, 2025) Senol-Arslan, Dilek; Gul, Ayse; 0000-0001-9639-2843; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Senol-Arslan, Dilek; Gul, Ayse
Oily water negatively affects both land and marine ecosystems. To combat this, membrane production can effectively treat oil waste and recycle over 90% of it. This study compares the influence of SiO2 nanoparticles on oil rejection in two types of membranes: polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polysulfone (PSF). The SiO2 NPs are characterized by FTIR, SEM analysis, and zeta potential measurements. SiO2 NPs embedded PSF and PVDF membranes were characterized by FTIR, SEM analysis, contact angle, water permeability, oil rejection measurements, and recycling experiments. The results of the experiments showed that oil rejection reached maximum values of 92.2% for 2 wt% PSF/SiO2, and 94.1% for 2 wt% PVDF/SiO2 membranes. The experimental results demonstrate that the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles enhances the oil rejection efficiency of two distinct membrane types, exhibiting notable performance disparities contingent on the selected membrane material. This methodology achieves a recycling rate of over 90% for oil waste, signifying a substantial advancement in environmental protection and sustainable development. Consequently, the membrane production technique is regarded as an efficacious approach for the management and recycling of oil waste.
Enhancing the freeze thaw resistance of pozzolanic lime mortars by optimising the dewatering process
(SPRINGER, 2024) Su-Çadırcı, Tuğçe Büşra; Ince, Ceren; Calabria-Holley, Juliana; Ball, Richard James; 0000-0001-6617-0924; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Su-Çadırcı, Tuğçe Büşra
Freeze–thaw weathering is commonly attributed to the premature degradation of lime mortars. This study is unique as it explores how the effect of incorporating pozzolanic brick dust, combined with the dewatering mechanism, can influence the resistance to freeze–thaw cycling. The combination of brick dust and hydrated lime constitutes a pozzolanic lime mortar with hydraulic character. Importantly, the addition of brick dust was shown to play a crucial role by modifying the pore structure of the mortar matrix, which affected the water transport kinetics, and durability. This rigorous investigation evaluates the freeze and thaw resistance of hardened young (7-day) and old (180-day) mortars in both dewatered and non-dewatered conditions. Quantitative analysis of the microstructure highlights the role of brick dust and dewatering in densifying the matrix, refining the pore structure, and enhancing the freeze and thaw resistance. The benefits of dewatered brick dust mortars were demonstrated as young-age dewatered mortars showed similar resistance to freeze and thaw compared to the older-age non-dewatered mortars. This was attributed to the reduction of the water/binder ratio due to dewatering. It has been successfully demonstrated that freshly mixed mortars can be enhanced on-site through the addition of brick dust and coupling with a substrate that promotes dewatering. Using this approach to produce mortars with greater freeze thaw resistance will improve longevity and reduce failure rates. Impact will be realised in mortars for both new build and conservation applications.
The evaluation of the integration of industrial heritage areas to urban landscape: The case study of sumerbank kayseri cotton factory
(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2015) Kevseroğlu Durmuş, Özlem; Kubat, Ayşe Sema; 0000-0003-1828-2256; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Kevseroğlu Durmuş, Özlem
The aim of this study is to develop an urban design strategy for the revitalization of post-industrial areas and the railway line in Kayseri–an industrialized city in Central Anatolia, Turkey. With the developments in 1930s, Kayseri became one of the modern cities of the Turkish Republic. In parallel with the world’s history of industrialization, Kayseri Sümerbank Cotton Factory was established in 1935 nearby the rail line in order to benefit from transportation and marketplace facilities. The current design of the Factory is characterized by the hostile layout of the railway tracks, which inhibits pedestrian access and segregates the area from the city center. This segregated circumstance is evaluated and new design strategies are developed with the aim of converting the isolated area into an innovative park design including sustainable, mixed-used functions for creating a pedestrian-friendly environment. The basic concepts and the methods of Space syntax are adapted to develop a new strategy for this Brownfield site by analyzing the relationship between the urban form, the pattern of movement and space use. The proposed design project is an integrated approach to land-use, transportation, green space and sustainable development that will create a framework for the future growth of the City of Kayseri and lead to a vibrant and livable city with an enhanced quality of urban life.
Impact of high speed railway systems on inter-regional trips and accessibility in turkey
(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2020) Bas A.; Yuzer M.A.; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
High-speed trains are faster, safer, more comfortable than road transport for trips of 250–1000 kilometers. Accordingly, a significant increase has been observed in inter-city railway transport following the construction of high-speed railway (HSR) connections. The present study shows the effects of HSR on accessibility and potential savings in time when compared to other transportation modes. The time saved by HSR systems has been shown to change purpose trip. The level of accessibility provided by the HSR between Konya–Ankara–Istanbul link is compared with the accessibility of other travel modes through an investigation of the weighted average travel times and an analysis of costs. Furthermore, data gathered from a field study carried out among users of the Konya-Ankara HSR link is used to identify the distribution of travel choices among different transportation modes, based on such social and economic indicators as income, car ownership and employment status. It is found that HSR service increases accessibility between cities, and changes travel demands and purpose, in favor of railways, and that economic factors such as income and car ownership are important in the use of HSR services. Finally, this research identifies social and cultural activities as a new reason for travel, in which users diversify their travel destinations because of the time savings offered by HSR systems.
Kırsal Peyzaj Mirası Çalışmalarının Habitus Üzerinden Değerlendirilmesi
(GELENEKSEL YAYINCILIK LTD STL, 2024) Elagoz Timur, Bahar; Asiliskender, Burak; 0000-0002-4143-4214; 0000-0003-1631-7638; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Elagöz Timur, Bahar; Asiliskender, Burak
Kırsal alanlar, toplumların yerel ve geleneksel yaşam pratikleri, üretim ve tüketim alışkanlıkları ve somut olmayan değerleri ile ilişkili biçimde üretilen doğal ve yapay çevrelerdir. Yerin topografik özellikleri doğrultusunda yerel malzeme ve yapım teknikleri kullanılarak yöreye özgü üretildikleri için kullanıcısı ile doğrudan ve yakın ilişki içerisindedirler. Zamanla koruma kuramlarında da yerini bulmuş olan tarihi kırsal yerleşimler, geleneksel ve yerel mimarlıklarıyla dikkat çekmektedirler. ICOMOS-IFLA’nın geliştirdiği tanımla kırsal peyzaj mirası olarak adlandırılan bu alanlar doğal, arkeolojik ve mimari gibi somut ve somut olmayan değerleri ile bir bütün olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Günümüzde pek çok araştırma kırsal mirasın bütünleşik bir şekilde korunma sorunları üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Bu çalışma, söz konusu araştırmalardan farklı -ama onları geliştiricibir yaklaşımla, habitus üzerinden kırsal peyzajları anlamlandırmayı hedeflemektedir. Kırsal peyzajlarda üretilen geleneksel mimarlığı anlamlandırabilmek, kullanıcısını ve içerisinde ortaya çıktığı habitusu anlamaktan geçmektedir. Toplumların gündelik hayat biçimleri, gelenekleri, kolektif hafızaları ve tarihleri gibi değerlerini üreten ve onlar tarafından üretilen geleneksel kırsal alanları ve habitusları arasında dinamik bir bağ vardır. Her zaman bir dönüşüm içerisinde olan habitus, çevresini de değiştirip-dönüştürmektedir. Bu süreç içerisinde sanayileşme, teknolojik gelişmeler ve küreselleşme gibi etkiler kırsal peyzajlarını özgün değerlerini kaybetme tehdidiyle karşı karşıya getirmektedir. Kırsal peyzajları korumanın ilk adımı, bu alanları ve yarattıkları özgün değerleri anlayabilmede ve değişimi öngörebilir kılmakta yatmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bu bakışla, kırsal mirasın oluşum ve yaşama serüveninde habitusun rolünü sorgulamaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalarda ve oluşturulan hipotezde habitusun kırsal peyzajlar ve doğal, yapılı ve sosyo-kültürel çevresi arasında kurduğu yapılandırıcı etkiyi ortaya çıkarmayı ve yaşayan kırsal peyzajların sürdürülmesi çalışmalarına katkıda bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada örneklem alan seçilmeksizin kırsal peyzajları ve dinamiklerini anlamak için literatürden geliştirilen yöntem kırsal peyzaj mirasının korunma çalışmalarında kullanılmak üzere sunulmuştur. Habitus yarattığı denge ile kırsal peyzajların doğal, somut ve somut olamayan bileşenlerini birbirine bağlamakta, yerin ruhunun oluşmasını ve beraber sürdürülmelerine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu dengeyi anlamak ve bütüncül koruma yaklaşımlarına dikkat çekmek amacıyla ilişkiler ağı detaylıca ortaya dökülmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında habitusun tanımı, çevre ve pratikler üzerinden açıklanmış ve kırsal peyzaj ile ilişkisi tek yapı ve yerleşim üzerinden aktarılmıştır. Yaşayan miras alanları olan kırsal yerleşimler için değişim -ne yazık ki- kaçınılmazdır ve süreç doğru yönetilmediği takdirde sonuçlar mirasın yitirilmesine yol açmaktadır. Önerilen yaklaşımın farklı her kırsal peyzaj miras alanı için özelleştirilmesi ve yeniden kurulması gerekmektedir. Çünkü her miras alanı biriciktir ve kendine özgü sorunları vardır. Çalışma, kırsal miras alanlarında habitus değişiminin yaratmakta olduğu etkiler ve yönetimi konusunda farkındalık yaratmayı ve değişime özgün değerleri koruyarak eşlik edebilen dirençli kırsal miras alanlarının oluşturulmasının önemini vurgulamayı hedeflemektedir.
Large transformations with moderate strains of tensile membrane structures
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON EC1Y 1SP, ENGLAND, 2017) Beatini, Valentina; Carfagni, Gianni Royer; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
Using a classical non-linear theory, we analytically investigate possible ways for transforming the shape of a curved elastic membrane while keeping it tensioned and moderately strained. This is a critical issue because, as a rule, membranes must be considerably stretched in order to avoid wrinkling and slackening. If the final configuration is fixed, the membrane can be cut and formed according to the final shape, but this cannot be done if more configurations, considerably distant from one another, have to be achieved. Nevertheless, we propose large transformation movements that can be obtained starting from flat membranes while maintaining their strain as limited. We discuss in detail the paradigmatic example of the hyperbolic-paraboloid-shaped membrane. These opportunities are suitable for applications of transformable architecture because they do not require excessive tensioning, compatible with the strength of materials used for this kind of structures.
The new visual culture in eighteenth-century Istanbul: building up new shore kiosks and gardens on the outskirts of the royal palace
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2020) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; 0000-0002-8434-7882; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
This article examines the construction and expansion of a less-known royal shore kiosk complex in Istanbul, namely the Shore Palace near the Cannon Gate (Topkapisi Sahil Sarayi) or Summer Harem, which was built on the outskirts of the royal palace complex in the eighteenth century, to interpret the changing features of royal residential culture and spatial practices. In this article, I aim to propose a new thematic frame based on the central role of the issue of visuality to examine the shifting cultural paradigm of eighteenth-century royal patronage. The eighteenth century witnessed the physical expansion of the complex and renovation of the furnishings several times and the official records of these activities provide us with invaluable information for the visual construction of these buildings, which were torn down after a devastating fire in 1862. Furthermore, the choice of location and all physical changes in the interiors and gardens demonstrate the spatial results of the changing codes of visual culture in the cityscape. In this respect, examination of this case enables us to discuss how the new visual culture was adopted and exercised in and around the royal palace gardens by the royal court members.
On their way home ... a network analysis of medieval caravanserai distribution in the syrian region, according to an 1D approach
(Archaeopress, 2016) Palombini, Augusto; Tavernari, Cinzia; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Tavernari, Cinzia
The common theory on caravanserais states that they were built at one-day's march distance from each other. Such a pattern may fit some situations, but it does not seem to be present in Syria during the Ayyubid (1174-1260 CE) and Mamluk periods (1260-1517 CE), when most of the region's caravanserais were founded. Caravanserais built during these periods do not seem to follow a precise pattern of distribution along the communication axis of Syria and, as a result, the logic that underlines their distribution remains unclear. The authors face the problem through a GIS-based, network analysis approach that takes into account the building period of each structure and the one-dimensional criterion of distance to its nearest neighbour, also considered in relation to the closeness to urban centres. The results of the analysis are then compared to the historical Syrian caravan networks. The outcomes show interesting aspects both in terms of understanding the route organization, and of predictive methods for focusing on areas where structures not yet located may be expected.
Power, conflict and negotiation between the agents: an alternative vision for contestation on the public space in the late Ottoman empire
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2019) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; 0000-0002-8434-7882; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
This article posits the territorial claim and control of the Ottoman government in the city centre by analyzing confrontations and conflicts of the state with the other agents via critical examination of a provincial case in the late nineteenth century. I examine the critical moments in making of public space to understand how the state authority claimed and enlarged its territorial influence during foundation and development of Dedeagac (Alexandroupolis) port in Edirne province through many agency confrontations. The conflicts between the state and other agents extend from the choice of location for a new port and taxation of the new port neighbourhood to the provision of public works and constitution of an administrative centre. In this context, foundation and growth of Dedeagac case demonstrate presence of many civic agents in clash with the state and they had to agree on an interim resolution for spatial construction of the town centre. This article aims to provide an alternative ground to examine the agency of the state in the late nineteenth century urban setting. It aims to be more inclusive by revealing the dynamic and substantial role of the other underrepresented agents in making of the cityscape in the late Ottoman Empire.
Re-mapping urban vitality through Jane Jacobs' criteria: The case of Kayseri, Turkey
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022) Pakoz, Muhammed Ziya; Yaratgan, Dilara; Sahin, Aydan; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Yaratgan, Dilara; Sahin, Aydan
There has been a growing debate in recent decades about the view of city and urban theory. The scope of this discussion has expanded with many different claims about the variable structure of the city and urban society, the boundaries of the urban scale, the nature of the city and urban problems. Jane Jacobs, one of the focal points of these discussions, has offered a different perspective with the approach of urbanism and the principles shaping the city’s reconstruction: More important than how cities look is how they work. Therefore, human interactions which create a vibrant environment in cities should be considered to understand the dynamics of cities. Located in the central part of Turkey, the city of Kayseri is a rapidly growing industrial city with approximately 1.4 million population. Despite the fact that the city has a long history, the traditional urban pattern has been largely destroyed via planning decisions and the vast majority of the housing stock in the city has been renewed in the last 40–50 years. This paper examines the city of Kayseri using Jane Jacobs’ criteria for what makes a city livable and vibrant. We re-mapped 87 neighborhoods of the city that constitute a continuous urban macroform by using the Kernel Density tool with ArcGIS software, evaluated the “urban vitality” of each neighborhood, and compared outputs with our observations to understand the relevance of Jacobs’ views in different contexts. The main findings of the study reveal that not only historical and commercial centers within the city but also several transformed and newly built areas have high urban character values according to Jacobs’ criteria. However, the degree of vitality (high, moderate, low, or non-urban), which is measured, may differ from the urban vitality, which is observed by the “naked eyes” in some neighborhoods of the city.
The Revolarization of Industrial Heritage: AGU Sumer Campus in Kayseri, Turkey
(SCUOLA PITAGORA EDITRICEPIAZZA SANTA MARIA DEGLI ANGELI, 1, NAPOLI, 80132, ITALY, 2016) Asiliskender, Burak; Baturayoglu Yoney, Nilufer; 0000-0002-4143-4214; 0000-0002-0426-5626; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Baturayoglu Yoney, Nilufer; Asiliskender, Burak
The Sumerbank Textile Factory in Kayseri (1932-1935) was one of the earliest and largest industrial complexes designed and constructed following the foundation of the Turkish Republic. This was a striking ensemble of buildings with rationalist and functionalist vocabulary, which also functioned as an urban center of social and cultural modernization, providing work and cultural/recreational activities based on a secular and westernized way of life in contrast with the existing traditional society. The factory went through a number of technological changes during its production history, and was finally closed and abandoned in 1999. The site, located along the northern development corridor of the city, and its buildings soon became derelict and were vandalized. Various projects for its regeneration as a green area were not implemented. National designation followed for the site in 2003 and for the buildings in 2007. However no conservation or adaptive re-use plans were made until the allocation of the complex to Abdullah Gul University in 2012. Today the complex is being transformed into an urban university campus. The master plan dated 2014 aims to redefine the urban and socio-cultural function of the complex. The open campus concept will welcome the citizens to an architecturally preserved and restored site with a selection of new activities focusing on culture and education at different levels where the spirit and memory of place will be sustained.
