(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Kerimi, Ayşıl Sara; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
This study investigates new ways of working models for designers by examining a design cooperative while contributing to the literature of new generation cooperatives in Turkey. In this study a case examination of a design cooperative has done regarding the phenomenon of new generation cooperatives and various expanded roles of designers. The case of design cooperative is from İzmir. New generation cooperatives emerged due to changes in market forces and make cooperatives to revive. On the other hand, design works scope has facing changes and tries to solve more complex problems day by day. With the help of the literature, changes in economic patterns, new generation cooperative, expanded roles of designer and penta-helix framework for multiple design initiatives is mentioned. Platformİzmim Service and Solidarity Cooperative is form İzmir is examined through determined points. Case of cooperative defines itself as design cooperative regarding their membership structure and the profile of members. Examination done via semi-structured interviews with volunteered members regarding various layers. In order to lay contextual relation several meetings done for understanding of İzmir context. Design cooperatives give the impression of a new practice that can enable all disciplines that have an impact on the design of the environment we live in, and thus the formation of a wide range of ideas and designs within the mediating practice which involves negotiation between various penta-helix actors. Penta helix is one of the concepts of the cross-sector collaboration of stakeholders (community, government, business, academics, and social entrepreneur). Yet it observed that several key factors still needs to be discussed to place design cooperative in eligible category.
Urban Tomography and Digital Humanities in Visual Tradition of Urban Design
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Yılmaz, Almira; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
Since the 1960s, the information obtaining methods used in urban design studies in the visual-perceptual dimension have been improved and renewed with the developing technology and internet facilities in the world of the 2000s, however the urban design techniques have lagged behind this. In the studies carried out until the 1990s, only hand drawings, observations, one-to-one interviews and questionnaires were used as a data gathering method, technology and digitalism were not used. Where technology is not used in urban studies, traditional methods requires large data processing as time and effort in large-scale areas therefore data gathering methods has to change. In this study, the theoretical aspects of the methods used in the visual-perceptual tradition are discussed with the examination of especially the works of Kevin Lynch, Donald Appleyard and Gordon Cullen, who use traditional methods. Since social media and digital multimedia tools are frequently used in today's societies, every movement related to the city is available in a digital environment. It is explained that with ‘Digital Humanities’ a digital library approach that has been used in today's technology; we can have a more practical, more up-to-date and developing information network. Taking into consideration the active use of social media in today's world, considering the major trends such as big data analysis, internet of things, visualization tools -photographs, video records- and social media platforms, we can discuss the urban design of the city and its places and we will be able to obtain information about the city from millions of different perspectives. In this study, what urban designer can use the information technology and visualization methods in the accelerating new technological age and what are these methods theoretically adds to the field questions are discussed.
Place Attachment in the Urban Design Guides: Case of Buca
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Bayram, Arzu; Velibeyoğlu, Koray
This study investigates physical ties of inhabitants, to Dumlupınar neighbourhood and its surroundings where situated in the district of Buca and has a conservation plan, in the context of urban design guides. While cities has faced with losing their identities in the present times, conservation plans are assets in this sense but only not sufficient enough by themselves. Technical specifications, which constitute a framework for the implementation of conservation plans, are used as a standardized template, without any specific definitions. This situation ignores the identity of each place and the historical processes it undergoes and prevents its ability to carry its values to the future. Urban design guides are the tools that makes more explicit definitions on plans by taking into account the specific development processes of each place. In this sense, urban design guides must be considered as a whole with development plans. This makes sure of cities that have different identities can be more liveable and transferable to the future. As a result, the content of the meaning of places where people grow feelings to, can be evaluated in terms of urban design guides in order to make places liveable.
