Article Layout Configuration and Occupancy in Healthcare Indoors: A Case Study in a Turkish Research Hospital(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2025) Yildizoglu, Nurcan; Kasali, AltugSpace occupancy is acknowledged as a parameter that affects communication, teamwork, and behavior patterns in healthcare settings. This research aims to understand the patterns of space occupancy in two Inpatient Units (IU) with differing indoor environments concerning configuration and morphology. In order to understand and explain the variations in patterns of occupancy, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods is employed to assess spatial analytics metrics such as visibility, accessibility, and physical proximity. These methods are crucial in providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between space occupancy and interactions among staff in healthcare settings. The results suggest that different spatial layouts in healthcare buildings affect the patterns of space occupancy and routes preferred by healthcare staff. Even though there are differences between morphologies of the two units studied, the research found that particular segments within corridors in relation to staff-related areas like nurse rooms, nurse stations, and med-preparation rooms affected patterns of space occupancy and movement in healthcare settings. This study may give a broader understanding on the impact of layout morphologies and the configuration and allocation of programmatic elements within layouts of medical surgical units.Article A Cross-Domain Systematic Review on Guest Speakers in Higher Education: Reconsidering the Role of "outsiders" in Architecture Education(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2024) Kasali, Altug; Akış, Tonguç; Abdel-aziz, DaniaGuest speaker events, as a form of instructional strategy in higher education settings, has long been recognized as a valid pedagogical method, whereas the factors that either promote or hinder the efficacy of this strategy in architecture education has not been extensively investigated. Accordingly, this paper presents a cross-domain literature review on the topic. The findings of the review have led to a discussion on guest speakers in design studios as an effective manifestation of inquiry-based learning (IBL). By searching 8 databases using the PICO framework, a systematic literature review was conducted to an in-depth examination of 35 articles across 25 domains in higher education, followed by a thematic analysis considering Braun and Clarke’s approach. The interpretive analysis yielded six themes: (1) bridging academia and practice, (2) speaker selection, (3) event planning, (4) content and format, (5) interaction mode, and (6) students’ preferences. While incorporating guest speakers can enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and networking, successful implementation hinges on addressing several factors such as the role of instructors’ guidance and tailoring topics and guest speakers’ selection with students' levels. Students' engagement with guest speakers in exploring content, issues, real-world perspectives and questions aligns with experiential learning and IBL principles. The study underscores the need for additional research in architecture education to understand students’ and instructors’ perceptions, concerning the role of guest speakers particularly on issues like contributions to learning, influence on design approaches and the implications for developing collaborative pedagogical practices.
