An Evaluation of the Rural Landscapes as Heritage From Habitus Perspective
(Geleneksel Yayincilik Ltd Stl, 2024) Elagoz Timur, Bahar; Asiliskender, Burak
Rural heritage areas consist of natural and built environments produced concerning local and traditional life practices, production -consumption habits, and intangible values of societies. This environment is created vernacularly using local materials and construction techniques due to the topographical features where it is built and is in contact with local users. For this reason, it is valuable to explain the meaning of vernacular architecture to understand its users and the habitus that emerges from it. Historical rural settlements, which have found their place in conservation theories over time, attract attention with their traditional and vernacular architecture.These areas, called "rural landscape as heritage" by definition developed by ICOMOS-IFLA, are accepted as a whole with their tangible and intangible components such as natural, archaeological, and architectural. Today, plenty of research is about integrated conservation issues of rural landscape heritages. The study, differently from theirs, plans to discuss the rural landscapes through habitus. It is possible to interpret the vernacular architecture produced in rural landscapes by understanding its user and the habitus in which it emerges. Moreover, there is a dynamic link between the traditional rural areas and the habitus of societies that produce and are produced by their daily lifestyles, traditions, collective memories, and histories. The habitus, which is always transformed, begins to adapt its environment to the change by this link. In this changing process, effects such as industrialization, technological developments, and globalization threaten rural landscapes to lose their authentic values. The first step in the conservation of rural landscapes lies in understanding these areas and their values and making change predictable. From this point of view, this study questions the role of habitus in the formation and life cycle of rural heritage. The research and the hypothesis created aim to contribute to the studies about sustainable living in rural landscapes by revealing the structuring effect of the habitus between the rural landscapes and their natural, built, and socio-cultural environments. In the study, the method developed from the literature to understand rural landscapes and their dynamics without studying the case is presented for use in rural landscape heritage conservation studies. Habitus connects the natural, tangible, and intangible components of rural landscapes by the balance it creates and contributes to the formation and maintenance of the spirit of place. In order to understand this balance and draw attention to holistic conservation approaches, the network of relations has been tried to be revealed in detail. Within the scope of the study, the definition of habitus was explained through the environment and practices, and its relationship with the rural landscape was conveyed through a single structure and settlement. The transition of living heritage is inevitable, but when it cannot be managed according to international regulations, the consequences will be the loss of rural heritage, which represents societies' traditional lifestyles. The proposed approach needs to be customized and re-established for each different rural landscape heritage site. Because each heritage site is unique and has its own conservation problems. It is critical to raise awareness about the effects of habitus change in rural landscapes and their management and to emphasize the importance of creating resilient rural heritage areas that can accompany change by preserving authentic values.

Evolution of Production Spaces: A Historical Review for Projecting Smart Factories
(Konya Technical Univ, Fac Architecture & design, 2023) Basegmez, Merve Pekdemir; Asiliskender, Burak
Factories are transforming not only mechanically and technologically but also architecturally due to emerging developments in the industry and fabrication: This new process, called the Second Machine Age or Industry 4.0, a new model is designed in production by providing the human-machine partnership over a virtual network. It is aimed that the machines used in production and the people participating in different stages of production can work in different spaces. In time, jobs that require human power will be replaced by robots, and a new order is being considered where there will be no people in production spaces, and they can work in the virtual environment. Production for human beings is mostly from material production to digital production; labour will turn into digital labour. For this reason, it is thought that production spaces will turn into smart factories with only machines and production robots and no workers. And now the question is: what is a smart factory?The revolutions in the industry history started with the invention of the steam engine; then, new technological revolutions were experienced with the use of electricity in production, the development of automation systems and internetbased systems. While technology and production tools are constantly changing, these developments also affect production spaces. Factories are also transforming to keep up with these rapid and continuous physical and fictional innovations. This study focuses on the architectural evolution of factories by following the technological revolutions of the industry. It examines the main criteria in the process of change and transformation of factories and spatial reflections of the revolutions. It establishes a relationship between production technology and the needs of the production spaces and seeks references from past samples. The study aims to review the historical background for generating a projection to new production spaces and to be a new discussion for future factories.
An Insight Into Architectural Design Studio Education Space From a "Time" Perspective
(2024) Asiliskender, Burak; Kıdık, Ayşegül
This study offers a comprehensive literature review of the evolution of design studio education, focusing on the integration of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies. The research explores current and future design studio models by examining the development of architectural design studio education and the importance of its physical spaces within a timeline framework. The literature review identifies key insights, analyzes patterns, and integrates findings to present a narrative of architectural education's historical evolution and prospects. The study highlights significant shifts in design studio education, moving from the traditional master-apprentice relationship to contemporary design studio spaces within architecture schools. It emphasizes the impact of social, economic, and technological developments on these models, particularly the shift to remote education necessitated by COVID-19. This transition highlighted the need for alternatives to physical studio spaces, directing attention to VR, AR, and MR technologies as potential solutions. Through a meticulous review process, this study examines how these emerging technologies can provide immersive and interactive learning experiences, enhancing flexibility and accessibility in design education. It discusses the benefits and challenges of integrating these technologies, considering their potential to function without needing a specific physical studio. Ultimately, this study contributes to the field by offering theoretical insights and practical guidelines for educators. It explores alternative models to enhance adaptability and addresses the implications of technological adaptation and crisis management. The findings enrich the academic literature and foster future research and discussion on the evolution of design studio education in the digital era.
Urban Layers and Living Spaces: The Evolution of Housing in Kayseri
(2025) Asiliskender, Burak; Özmen, Nihan Muş
This study examines the transformation of housing in Kayseri as a case through which to understand broader processes of urbanization, modernization, and socio-spatial change in Turkey. Once defined by inward-oriented courtyard houses constructed from local materials—reflecting values of privacy and communal life—Kayseri’s domestic architecture has undergone significant transformation across four historical periods: the pre-Republican era, the early Republican period, the post-1950 expansion, and the post-1980 neoliberal era. Each phase reflects a distinct interplay between national policy directives, global urban trends, and local adaptations. Early Republican reforms introduced Western-oriented architectural ideals by promoting detached houses and low-rise apartments. This trajectory accelerated in the post-1980 period when neoliberal policies prioritized high-rise residential development driven by private capital and speculative investment, often at the expense of cultural continuity and human-scale urban design. Employing an interdisciplinary methodology, this research integrates archival analysis, oral histories, spatial observations, and visual documentation. Drawing on architecture, sociology, and history, it investigates how built forms mediate tensions between tradition and modernity, memory and transformation, and local identity and state ideology. With its long-standing strategic and cultural significance, Kayseri provides a compelling case for examining how urban development is shaped by structural forces and lived experience. The study argues that the housing transformation in Kayseri is not a linear progression, but a contested and layered process shaped by evolving economic structures, governance models, and cultural logic. By combining textual, visual, and experiential knowledge, the research offers a deeper understanding of how domestic space reflects and constructs shifting urban realities.
