    A Survey on Spatial Effects of Newcomer Entrepreneurs in Rural Urla
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Güçü, İlker; Çıkış, Şeniz
    Today, new production forms of rural space, which receive immigration and meet the entrepreneurial activities created by this population change, constitute the main aim of study. Thesis focuses on the mutual influence of rural space and rural entrepreneurship in terms of the architecture discipline. The main source of rural livelihood is agricultural production and animal husbandry from past to present. As a result of these migrations, the main livelihoods in the rural area are changing, developing and renewing. Rural architectural space is also in a process of change in line with these activities. In addition, what entrepreneurs understand from the countryside and their reflections gain importance in the transformed space. Based on the migration stories and spatial preferences of individuals who migrated from urban areas to rural, the study deals with thirty-four entrepreneurs and their enterprises located in the rural areas of Urla district of İzmir. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to measure the spatial context of enterprises located on Urla Wine Route and feeding this route. The spatial contexts of enterprises were grouped through the themes that emerged as a result of the analysis. As a result of the analyzes, it has been seen that the site plan, clousure movements, orientation and building form are the most used parameters in architectural design by newcomers. It is aimed that the study will contribute to the literature as it allows the rural entrepreneurship and ispatial context, which has been examined at an upper scale so far, to be evaluated at the scale of architectural space

    Transformation of 19th Century İzmir's Harbor Zone and Its Urban Fabric Via Morphological Approach
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Gelişkan, Nil Nadire; Çıkış, Şeniz
    İzmir, which has a considerable place among the Mediterranean port cities of the 19th century, is not only similar to other Mediterranean port cities due to its trade dynamics, but also differs with the diversity and political development of the actors who have a say in commerce. After the industrial revolution, the hierarchical structure in world trade is reshaped with the expansion of the market area of trade. While industrial countries are at the top of the pyramid, the peripherical countries, whose economy is based on agriculture, are at the lower levels. The position that distinguishes the Ottoman Empire from the others is that it is the scene of the endless competition between industrialized European countries that will start from the 18th century and continue until the 21st century. İzmir is one of the plateaus of this competition. The city, which was considered the second capital center of the empire after Istanbul, especially in the 19th century, continues to be one of the most important ports. In this period, architectural and urban design-scale arrangements and innovations were made in İzmir by the Ottoman government and on a local scale, but especially the initiatives of western countries had a significant impact on the morphology of the city. In this context, the morphological transformation of the city of Izmir in the 19th century, the location of Izmir in local, regional and global networks and its relations with which urban interventions will be evaluated through maps, drawings and documents related to railway and transportation, especially from the Ottoman archive records of the Presidency of State Archives dated after 1850. In this study, in addition to the previous Izmir narratives, the transformation and structuring of the parcels to be used for the Kordon region and mega transportation projects, which will serve especially the industry channels, will be studied at a lower scale. It is within the scope of the study to focus on how the urban fabric of İzmir harbor zone was transformed in the light of the historical and economic breaks experienced by the empire in this period, and to seek a new conceptual port reading for the 19th century İzmir.

    Postformal Thought and Creativity in Design Process
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Kaya, Nazife Aslı; Çıkış, Şeniz
    The aim of this study is to reveal relations between creativity in design and cognitive development levels of designers with a Post-Piagetian approach. In this study design processes were deeply inspected with the aim of obtaining more comprehensive information about the effects of individual’s cognitive status on the design processes, problem-solving and idea generation quality. In this field, studies done so far have been conducted on test results as indicators of creativity. In this study, however, protocol analyses were also evaluated in addition to testing the results, and thanks to this addition, it was possible to determine the qualitative and quantitative effects of the cognitive development levels on creativity. Total twenty-five students voluntarily participated in the research. To collect data, two different methods were employed. Social Paradigm Belief Inventory (SPBI), was employed to determine students' cognitive stages and scores, and Think-aloud protocol, was used to elicit verbal reports of thought sequences of students. In order to analyse verbal reports for investigating designers' cognitive activities, Linkography method was conducted and general statistics of segments were measured. To exposure, the relations between creativity in design and cognitive development levels of designers, SPBI scores and obtained general statistical values of design sessions were correlated and findings showed that there is a strong and significant correlation between cognitive development levels and creativity in favour of dialectical thinking. Addition to this, participants’ partial protocols were analysed syntactically, and the networks were inspected to reveal the impacts of postformal thinking on creative design process with the help of Function-Behaviour-Structure (FBS) Ontology. The findings of the syntactic analysis also supported the finding of the correlations.

    Mass-Housing Consensuses and Their Effects on Design Organizations in Terms of Quality
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2012) Ek, Fatma İpek; Çıkış, Şeniz
    There is an increasing acceleration in the production of mass-housing projects currently in Turkey. Alongside this increase, there is conspicuous diversity, as well. In most of the recent mass-housing projects, there are many alternatives concerning with the locations in the city, income groups, and characteristics of environmental design. Settlements of those projects with multi-storey blocks contain facilities in outer spaces, equipments, and services which vary according to the conditions of parcels and competition as well as inhabitants’ expectations. Despite this variety in environmental equipments, landscape elements, and services, mass-housing units mostly repeat each other impressively. Almost all of the mass-housing projects implemented recently for low or high income-groups, in the periphery of the city-center, go into uniformity in terms of the spatial organizations of units. This situation has been criticized frequently in the related housing-literature which defines it as a quality problem of architecture. In the current study examining the situation of uniformity in mass-housing units, relationship between the unit and quality of architectural design is undertaken. In this context, how the inhabitants perceive the spatial organization of mass-housing projects, and whether those units meet the expectations are probed. Regarding this aim, userbased quality approaches and measurement method called the Kano model are utilized. Thus, the study covers the examination of the selected mass-housing units in terms of their models of spatial organization with the evaluations by their inhabitants. Under the light of the survey results, whether this uniformity refers a problem or a consensus is discussed.

    Instrumentalisation of Natural Science for the Reconstruction of Architectural Konowledge: Lissitzky, Doesburg, Meyer, Teige
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) İnceköse, Ülkü; Çıkış, Şeniz
    The main idea aimed in this dissertation is to analyze the instrumentalisation process of natural scientific knowledge in a struggle for reconstructing architectural knowledge, between 1914 and 1945. This investigation has been made in the scale of the spreading of this effort in Middle and Eastern Europe in general and has been detailed over the most radical form observed in the left-wing architectural discourses.Architecture lost its self-legitimate, unitary structure of knowledge it owned pre-modern period, in the modernization process. In this situation, for reconstructing this unitary structure, architectural theorists oriented towards different fields of knowledge, considering their knowledge more reliable than own. With this struggle, some architectural discourses sustain the old, some presented synthesis proposals, from the end of nineteenth century, some were in the assertion of entirely transforming the architectural knowledge. This struggle gained a new dimension by means of the revolutionary social context formed after the First World War. Especially, in left-wing avant-garde discourses, assigning .a new beginning,. .a new architecture. which can reconstruct a new world was aimed. These discourses have oriented natural scientific knowledge to justify/legitimize their statements and have established a problematic relationship with it.Consequently, this dissertation explains the mechanisms through which architecture implants natural scientific knowledge into its own studies, and presents the transformation that adapted knowledge undergoes. In this way, the problematic relationship between the knowledge of architecture and natural sciences as a result of instrumentalisation is analyzed. This analysis focuses on the discourses of four architectural theorists: Lissitzky, Doesburg, Teige, Meyer.
