Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Mimari Habitusun Eşiği Olarak İlk Yıl Mimari Tasarım Stüdyoları(Middle East Technical University, 2021) Çil, Ela; Demirel Özer, SinemThis study considers the first year design studio, not only as an environment in which knowledge and skills about the profession are transferred, but also as a threshold where students move into a new culture of values and ideas specific to the discipline. The inter-studio interaction between the instructor and the student, which stands out as the basic strategy of studio instructions, plays a critical role in the socialization of students into a new culture. This article is sharing a portion of a research, which is conducted in the architecture faculties of 14 universities in Turkey, and it enables us to discuss the interaction and cultural adaptation taking place in the studio. One of the highlights in the results of the research is the difference between the experience and evaluation of the studio's main objectives from the perspective of instructors and students. This difference sheds light on how the values that are thought to be conveyed in the studio are actually understood by the students. The concept of habitus, which Pierre Bourdieu points out as the limits of action in a culture that are almost beyond the grasp of the consciousness of the members of that culture, and Jacques Ranciere's and Paulo Freire's critical approaches to current pedagogical systems outline the theoretical framework within which we discuss our findings. In addressing architectural education as a form of cultural policy, our goal is to confront the uncertainty that characterizes the first year design studio and create a sphere to debate the challenges that the first year studio culture poses for students and instructors.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15The Spatial Configuration and Publicness of the University Campus: Interaction, Discovery, and Display on De Uithof in Utrecht(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2022) Yaylalı Yıldız, Berna; Spierings, Bas; Çil, ElaThis paper explores different degrees and forms of publicness and their relationship with the spatial configuration of a university campus. Based on a literature review, the concept of 'publicness' is developed to describe the dimensions of 'interaction,' 'discovery,' and 'display' on campus. The area selected for the case study is De Uithof campus of Utrecht University, located outside the urban fabric in a green environment. Spatial configuration analysis reveals that the two public spaces most-often used by students have high global and local integration scores as well as medium visibility scores. This promises much potential for the production of publicness in both spaces, whereas student surveys revealed some rather substantial differences in publicness between them. Acknowledging detailed differences in terms of physical design, functional facilities, and social composition enables an explanation for why the Academic Hospital Utrecht space lives up more the potential of publicness production than the Heidelberglaan space.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 20Exploring the Effects of Spatial and Social Segregation in University Campuses, Iztech as a Case Study(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2014) Yaylalı Yıldız, Berna; Yamu, Claudia; Çil, ElaThis study focuses on the spatial configuration of university campuses through the case study of Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH), settled outside of the city of Izmir. Isolated university campuses are interesting cases to examine, especially when there is a need to focus on the relationship between the campus life and collective spaces, in which open spaces play a major role. Although these campuses are planned as separate enclaves with the vision that academic life would require isolation, quietness and concentration, we argue that the campus design, especially their open spaces, should generate an interacting community balancing the inward-focused learning. In addition, we suggest that when a university campus fails to facilitate social gatherings through its spaces, both faculty and students are deprived of the fundamental reason of the university's constitution. This article first presents the spatial analysis (space syntax analysis) examining the potentials of the physical configuration of campus for bringing students together. Second, we present the findings of the questionnaire surveying students' choices for spatial practices. Syntax analysis and survey show that locally integrated lines are not supported with activities. Comparison of the frequency of use in actual practice both on the most integrated lines and on areas with strong visibility show that these spaces are not lived up to their potentials.

Architecture requires a discipline-based education in which design studios have primary place in the curriculum. In design studio education the primary focus of assessment has always been the studio production (i.e. end products of the students). There is a common tendency to neglect students' experience and process of learning during assessments. Furthermore, assessment criteria of the studio instructors may not be explicitly stated.
