Article An Evaluation of the Rural Landscapes as Heritage From Habitus Perspective(Geleneksel Yayincilik Ltd Stl, 2024) Elagoz Timur, Bahar; Asiliskender, BurakRural 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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1The Technology of an Early Reinforced Concrete Structure in Turkey: The Great Storehouse of the Kayseri Sumerbank Textile Factory (1932-1935)(Scuola Pitagora Editrice, 2015) Yoney, Nilufer Baturayoglu; Asiliskender, BurakThe former Kayse`ri Sumerbank Textile Factor(1932-1935) designed and funded by the U.S.S.R. was among the first large-scaled industrial establishments in Turkey. The so-called Great Storehouse as well as the rest of the complex constitutes an interesting case study as an early example of large-scaled reinforced concrete construction in a provincial center for Turkish and Soviet technological history. The long and narrow building measuring 135x45m is constructed in four sections with wide spanning axes based on a skeletal system, supported with slender columns and beams. The columns rise 5-6.5m from the original floor level and reach 9m along the raised central nave. The foundations are composed of double layers of square footings joined with tie beams. The partition walls are constructed with bricks while the exterior walls are tuff. All the masonry walls are held together with a weak mortar based on cement, lime and sand, and with steel reinforcing bars placed horizontally in the horizontal courses and tied to thicker steel bars vertically along the columns. Horizontal strip windows located in the upper part of the exterior walls and along the high central nave provide natural light. There are steel hangar doors along the east and west walls in almost each grid as well as two central doorways located on the short east and west facades. The reinforced concrete surfaces are left exposed while the brick walls and the interior surfaces of the tuff walls are plastered.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Adaptive Reuse of Industrial Heritage: Resilience or Irreparable Loss(Docomomo, 2016) Baturayoğlu Yöney, Nilüfer; Asiliskender, Burak; Özer, AysegulThe 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. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Doctoral Thesis Kayseri'nin 'Yilli'lerinin Konut Kültürü: Habitus Temelli Bir Çalışma(2025) Özmen, Nihan Muş; Asiliskender, BurakBu çalışma, Kayseri'deki yilli (yerli) topluluğunun mekânsal pratiklerini kimlik ve aidiyet perspektifinden ele almakta; konutun kentsel aidiyet ve toplumsal kimliği nasıl şekillendirdiğine odaklanmaktadır. Konut, yalnızca fiziksel bir yapı olarak değil; kültürel sürekliliğin, toplumsal bağların ve aidiyet duygusunun maddi olarak ifade bulduğu bir mekânsal çerçeve olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Analiz, kent ölçeğinden evin iç mekânına kadar uzanan çok ölçekli bir yaklaşım benimseyerek, yilli ailelerin ev içi mekânı kültürel olarak miras alınmış eğilimlere göre nasıl düzenlediklerini incelemektedir. Pierre Bourdieu'nün habitus kavramına dayanan bu kuramsal çerçevede, tarihsel olarak biçimlenmiş pratik ve değerlerin gündelik mekânsal düzenlemelere nasıl gömüldüğü araştırılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda yilli olmak, yalnızca soy bağına ya da mahalle kökenine dayanan bir kimlik değil; konut tercihleri, mahalleye aidiyet ve kuşaklar arası kültürel aktarım yoluyla yeniden üretilen toplumsal olarak konumlanmış bir kimlik biçimi olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu dinamikler, gündelik rutinlerde, mahremiyet anlayışında ve estetik tercihlerde somutlaşmaktadır. Çalışma, sözlü tarih, etnografik gözlem, mekânsal haritalama ve tematik analiz gibi nitel yöntemlere dayanmaktadır. Farklı kuşaklardan katılımcılarla yapılan görüşmeler, geleneksel evlerden modern apartmanlara geçişin hem bir uyum sürecini hem de kültürel sürekliliği yansıttığını göstermektedir. Bu dönüşümler, teknik değişiklikler olarak değil, toplumsal olarak gömülü süreçler olarak yorumlanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma yerellik, kimlik ve kentsel belleğin, daha geniş bir kentsel dönüşüm süreci içinde, konut aracılığıyla nasıl yeniden üretildiğini anlamaya yönelik kültürel temelli bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.Article Evolution of Office Space in Cinema and Television(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2021) Mus Ozmen, Nihan; Asiliskender, BurakAfter capitalism, the emergence of factories separated home and work from each other. In the early years of capitalism, the workspace was the production space where business used material labour extensively. In the following years, a new workforce-immaterial labour-has emerged with the increase in paperwork and the replacement of human labour with machines in mass production. The workspace of this new workforce has no longer been the production site. Thus, the office has emerged to meet the needs of this workforce. Offices, the workspace of immaterial labour, have evolved in various ways since the early 1900s. As a result of mobility that emerged with globalization, people started to use not only offices but also various places (cafes, airports etc.) as workspaces and the concept of office has become even more flexible. Starting from the mobile era of today, how is the workspace going to be in the future? Is there going to be a workspace called 'the office'? With reference to these questions, the present study focuses on the evolution of office space to draw a perspective on the changes over years. Firstly, the emergence of workspace is mentioned, which is closely tied to capitalist production. Afterwards, the evolution of workspace is analysed historically, and it is visualized with the help of movies and tv series that include office spaces. In addition, future scenario based movies and tv series are examined to create a view about future lifestyle and work life. Finally, there are recommendations for future office spaces that may respond to the needs of flexible and mobile workers.Master Thesis Kent Pratiğinde Veri Etkisi: Kayseri Tramvay Ağı Okuması(2025) Şenbaş, Aysu; Asiliskender, BurakBu tez, Kayseri'deki KayseRay hafif raylı sistemi odağında, veri temelli analiz araçlarının kentsel kaliteyi toplu taşıma altyapısı üzerinden nasıl değerlendirebileceğini ve iyileştirebileceğini araştırır. Çalışma, CBS tabanlı mekânsal analizler, yaya akışı (CFD) simülasyonları ve yolcu verisi görselleştirmelerini bir araya getirerek insan ölçeğinde, bütüncül bir tasarım çerçevesi geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Analizin merkezinde birbirini tamamlayan üç temel kentsel karakteristik- erişilebilirlik- görünürlük, ve canlılık- bulunur; bu boyutlar, veri odaklı tekniklerle ölçülerek mekânsal ve deneyimsel değerlendirmelerle desteklenir. Seçilen dört istasyon -Düvenönü, Cumhuriyet Meydanı, Hunat Hatun ve Büyükşehir Belediyesi- ayrıntılı biçimde incelenmiş, mekânsal verimsizlikler ile erişim boşlukları tespit edilmiş ve bu eksikleri gidermeye yönelik stratejiler önerilmiştir. Yöntemsel yaklaşım, teknik araçları yerinde gözlemlerle harmanlayarak kentsel hareketlilik sistemlerinin fiziksel çevreyle etkileşimine dair kapsamlı bir bakış sunar. Ayrıca, veri kısıtları ve bağlamsal sınırlamalar ele alınarak yerel altyapı ve kurumsal iş birliğinin önemi vurgulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, yaya akışındaki verimsizlikleri, erişilebilirlik eksikliklerini ve kentsel canlılığı artırma yollarını ortaya koyarak mimarlar ve planlamacılar için uygulanabilir çözümler sunar. Tez, veri temelli yöntemlerin sürdürülebilir, kapsayıcı ve optimize edilmiş kent ortamları yaratmadaki potansiyelini göstererek hem akademik literatüre hem de pratik kentsel tasarım süreçlerine katkıda bulunur; böylece küresel akıllı şehir paradigması ile yerel kentsel gerçeklikler arasında köprü kurar ve BM Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedeflerine uyumlu stratejik bir yol haritası sunar.Conference Object The Revolarization of Industrial Heritage: AGU Sumer Campus in Kayseri, Turkey(Scuola Pitagora Editrice, 2016) Asiliskender, Burak; Baturayoglu Yoney, NiluferThe 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.Doctoral Thesis GG (Genişletilmiş Gerçeklik)'in Mimari Tasarım Eğitimine Etkisi(Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2024) Kıdık, Ayşegül; Asiliskender, BurakThe 'XR (Extended Reality) Impact on Architectural Design Education' dissertation comprehensively examines the integration and impact of Extended Reality (XR) technologies in architectural design experience. As the field of architectural design education struggles with the challenges presented by technological advancements, this research endeavors to explore the potential of XR technologies, which encompass Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), to redefine the design process and enhance the creative capacity of architecture students. In the rapidly evolving landscape of contemporary architecture, architectural design education is paramount in fostering future architects equipped to meet the dynamic demands of the profession. XR technologies have emerged as transformative tools that have the potential to revolutionize how architects engage with their projects, offering immersive and interactive environments for design exploration that have different realities. The methodology employed in this research is varied, combining comprehensive and systematic literature reviews with empirical case studies. This methodological synergy integrates theoretical insights from literature reviews with practical observations from real-world architectural projects, facilitating a comprehensive exploration of XR technologies within the context of architectural design studio education. The literature review encompasses a wide range of topics, including architectural design studio education, the fundamental principles of XR technology, and emerging trends in architectural education. These reviews provide the requisite theoretical framework for comprehending the implications of XR technologies on the design experience. Within the dissertation, systematic literature reviews are conducted on VR, AR, MR, and XR technologies, thereby shedding light on their integration into architectural design studio education. These reviews synthesize existing research findings, identify key trends, and address the challenges and opportunities associated with each technology. A case study approach offers a practical perspective, investigating real-world architectural projects and design studios embracing XR technologies. Through these case studies, the intricacies of XR integration are explored, the transformative effects on design experience are assessed, and exemplary practices in architectural design are showcased. Moreover, the dissertation discusses XR technologies in relation to conventional design education, thereby underscoring their potential to redefine architectural pedagogy. This research explores integrating XR technologies into architectural education to enhance students' creative capacities and redefine the design process. By incorporating XR technologies, architecture students gain the skills and knowledge necessary for sustainable development, fostering innovation, sustainability, and technological proficiency. XR technologies in education provide a quality learning experience that aligns with global sustainability goals, preparing students to contribute effectively to the achievement of Quality Education (Sustainable Development Goal 4). This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on the role of technology in shaping the future of architectural design education and practice. It sheds light on the transformative potential of XR technologies in architectural design education. Architects, educators, and students stand to gain valuable perspectives on harnessing XR technologies to enhance creativity and innovation in the architectural field.Article Space Prospect in the Flexible Era of Late Capitalism(Konya Technical Univ, Fac Architecture & design, 2020) Ozmen, Nihan Mus; Asiliskender, BurakThis study is mainly influenced by the idea of Manfredo Tafuri that architecture cannot fulfil its ideological task since it started serving capitalism and there are no more utopias. In his book Architecture and Utopia: Design and Capitalist Development, Tafuri discusses the sociophilosophical tangle in which architects have been struggling since the 18th century. According to Tafuri, the drama of today's architecture is the obligation to return to pure architecture, a matter of form without utopia, supreme uselessness. Another influence on the study is Richard Sennett's book The Corrosion of Character. Sennett mentions the concept of flexible capitalism and explains that work life is not as rigid as it was before. According to Sennett, flexibility has an impact on personal character and asks questions about how to decide the lasting value of we in an impatient society, how to pursue a long-term goal in a short-term economy, how to sustain loyalties to the continually redesigning institutions. Purpose The thoughts of Tafuri and Sennett are discussed through Patrik Schumacher's Parametricism manifesto. In the manifesto, Schumacher reflects architecture's evolving patterns of communication in relation to its social task. The main objective of the study is to propose a future space based on the ideas of Tafuri, Sennett and Schumacher. Design/Methodology/Approach This paper discusses the reviews of books of Tafuri and Sennett and manifesto of Schumacher as a methodology. Findings After the reviews of The Corrosion of Character and Architecture and Utopia, there is a discussion of flexible space through parametric design approach. Finally, there is the prediction of future space based on the findings in the previous sections. Research Limitations/Implications There are no research limitations for this paper. Social/Practical Implications According to this paper, parametric design method can be used in practice to achieve the spaces that are needed by the complex society of global era. Originality/Value This paper synthesizes the ideas of two great thinkers, who have influential discourses on architecture and business world, and approaches them from the perspective of parametric design as one of today's design tools, to make predictions about the future space.Article Boundaries of Belonging: the Spatial and Social Logic of Being Yilli People in Kayseri(Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Mus Ozmen, Nihan; Asiliskender, Burak; Ozmen, ZehniThis study explores the spatial, social, and cultural dynamics of being yilli, a deeply rooted local identity in Kayseri, Turkey. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, oral histories, and spatial analysis, it examines how the yilli people negotiate urban transformation through selective adaptations to modernization while maintaining traditional social boundaries. The research shows that the yilli do not passively resist change but actively reinterpret modernization to reinforce status, kinship, and symbolic belonging. Spatial relocation and investment patterns reflect economic strategies and efforts to preserve cultural distinction amid urban expansion. The findings demonstrate that urban transformation in Kayseri is both a material and cultural process, shaped by layered histories of memory, hierarchy, and social imagination. Through the case of the yilli, the study contributes to broader debates in urban sociology and cultural geography, offering insights into how culture-centered societies adapt to and reshape modernization processes.
