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 - Scopus: 6Faculty Office Buildings as Work Environments: Spatial Configuration, Social Interaction, Collaboration and Sense of Community(İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, 2013) Kılıç Çalğıcı, Pınar; Czerkauer-Yamu, Claudia; Çil, ElaWe aim to identify the role of spatial configuration in the social interaction, collaboration and sense of community at academia. We focus on the spatial configuration of three school buildings used by three different departments within the campus of a university in Izmir and utilize both spatial and social data. We have analyzed spatial data by Visual Graph Analysis (VGA) and searched for the spatial integration of the buildings with different plan typologies, but all have cell-based office configuration, which constitute linear plans with atrium, L-shaped and square with repeating floor plans. Social data is gathered by a questionnaire survey that is conducted with faculty members enquiring their office location in relation to spatial integration, sense of community, interaction and collaboration. We use correlation and regression analyses for the analyses of social data. Findings suggest that collaboration is independent of the plan typology but spatial integration promotes interaction and sense of community.Doctoral Thesis Discourse Analysis of City Museums in Turkey Since 2000(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Şenel Fidangenç, Ayşe Nur; Çil, ElaSince 2000, in Turkey 83 city museums are established and nearly 90 new ones are announced to be opened soon. The literature on the city museums in Turkey considers city museum as the establisher of the city identity. In that point archiving the local values, serving as the memory and narrator of history of the city is emphasized. Regarding all these “missions”, the city museums are seen as the “mirror of the city” which reflects/represents the city. The theoretical and methodological lens that this thesis has is discourse analysis, which is a suitable lens to detect the relationships between statements and spatial practices. Hence this dissertation analyzes city museums in Turkey through a tripartite system of discursive parts: the statements of the actors, the buildings and their locations, and the exhibitions. The relation between these three parts deciphers how the certain concepts and themes dominate the discourse of city museums in Turkey. While the interrelation of these parts is important, their relation to the political conjuncture of today and the museological past of Turkey is crucial to discuss how the political practices instrumentalize the city museums. With the overall analysis, this dissertation discusses how the discourse of city museums in Turkey constitutes the knowledge of localness with using the concepts of memory, history and identity through the representative strategy of today’s political discourses.Master Thesis Analysis of Four Urban Squares in Izmir According To the Leading Urban Design Literature(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Ceyhan Abacı, Fatma; Çil, Ela; Velibeyoğlu, KorayThe squares are the significant elements of the urban public spaces that provide the users different experience in the city, activate their city life and they are human oriented places for cities and societies. The squares are strong accumulation places where each day a different experience comes true so they transfer society‟s culture, social habits, way of life, memories from past to the future. Since urban squares have those significant roles for cities, researching the spatial, functional and social qualities of the squares are very important to understand and identify them. The aim of this study is to reveal the characteristics of urban squares according to leading literature studies. The study focuses on what are the criteria we need to analyze in order to determining the qualities of the squares. Accordingly, the main common ideas on urban squares in the literature have been categorized to evaluate the squares. The leading qualities of the squares comprise of the ten normative criteria based on sixteen important authors of related studies which are the main textbooks of the thesis. The content of the criteria consists mainly of the characteristics that the square must have physically, socially and functionally. In this study, Ali Paşa Square, Hatuniye Square, Cumhuriyet Square, and Gündoğdu Square are chosen in İzmir as case study area. The study cases are observed and analyzed according to ten evaluation criteria. The analyses results extract the characteristics of each square. All findings, results and normative criteria are together discussed as results. The results of this study may guide to reconsideration of urban squares within modern usages and designing more useful squares for further studies.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 17Problematization of Assessment in the Architectural Design Education: First Year as a Case Study(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Çıkış, Şeniz; Çil, ElaThis paper discusses the ways in which studio instructors assess students' design and performance during the basic design studios. 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.Master Thesis Restitution Proposals for Ruined Traditional Houses in Ildırı(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Aylı, Cemre; Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Çil, ElaThis study aims to propose reliable restitution solutions for ruined residential buildings in Ildırı which overlaps the archaeological remains of Erythrai in İzmir, Turkey. The results of the study intended to be considered as one of the alternatives of solving housing shortage of the settlement. With this aim; the current legislative status of the settlement is clarified firstly. This analysis showed that the legal measures prioritizing only the archaeological remains is behind contemporary conservation approach respecting all contributing strata and it should be revised before taking any conservative measures related to the cultural landscape of Erythrai including the modern settlement of Ildırı. Secondly, the architectural characteristics of Ildırı houses are deciphered in order to provide concrete data for restitutions. Finally, the ruined residential buildings in Ildırı are examined according to their architectural characteristics along with the literature researches in order to understand how many of them have the possibility of reliable restitution proposal. The result of the study shows that only 6 of 25 ruins in Ildırı have concrete documents and sources to be able to propose reliable restitution solutions. Thus, the restoration of the ruins cannot be the only means of solving the housing shortage of the settlement. Other supportive measures should also be considered and all these measures should be made in accordance with a new legislative status which takes into consideration of cultural and natural significance of the settlement and its environs and within a management plan.Master Thesis A Reading of the Late 19th-Century İstanbul Public Life and Space Through the Tanzimat Novel(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Şenel, Ayşe Nur; Çil, ElaThe modernization attempts in the Ottoman Empire began in the 18th century and accelerated in the 19th century with the Tanzimat Charter (1839). This charter was for regulating the governmental issues, the physical environment, and the social rights of the society. The center of these regulations was the capital city, Istanbul. So, the physical and social landscape of the city began to change rapidly in the 19th century. Hence, the impacts of these transformations began to be observed in daily life, especially in public spaces. The transformations in the physical environment include construction of new building types and activity spaces as well as the transformation of old areas for new uses. This thesis focuses on the public side of these transformations and attempt to understand how these spaces were perceived through the analysis of twenty-one contemporary novels, which have been acknowledged within the genre of Tanzimat Novels by the literary critics. The objective is to analyze the relation between the public spaces of Istanbul and the spatial practices that are depicted in these novels. Significantly, the thesis attempts to explore how social class and gender differences are portrayed in the narrative discourse.Article Ildırı’nın mekansal izlerinin peşinde: Bir 19. Yüzyıl yerleşim bulmacası(Türkiye Bilimler Akademisi TÜBA, 2020) Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Çil, ElaThis paper aims to decipher the 19th century spatial characteristics of Ildırı which overlaps the archaeological remains of ancient Erythrai. This period corresponds to the Ottoman Empire’s last century when Ildırı was inhabited by Orthodox-Rum community. Ildırı experinced serious alterations and destructions during and after the population exchange. Due to both these changes and destructions as well as recent illegal construction activities, the original settlement pattern is almost disappeared in Ildırı. Increasing tourism pressure of recent years in an other factor that accelerates this disappearance. For this reason, in this paper, the spatial characteristics of 19th-century Ildırı is deciphered like a jig-saw puzzle; by tracing the clues about the place from different sources. This settlement puzzle based upon supporting the limited traces coming from the place with oral history studies and narratives of archaeologist travellers. The mentioned oral history studies composed of the narratives of both existing Turkish and former Rum inhabitants. The narratives of Rum inhabitants who experienced the pre-exchange period were obtained from the Centre of Asia Minor Studies in Athens. Interviews with Turkish inhabitants who witnessed the post-exchange period were conducted by the authors at different times between 2012 and 2014 in Ildırı. As the conclusion, the importance of oral history studies is emphasized in understanding the place, its recent history and spatial transformations of the settlements like Ildırı that experienced major transformations as well as a sharp social interruption with population exchange.Master Thesis A Critical Review of Literature on Space and Cinema(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Sever, Müge; Çil, ElaFrom the beginning of the humanity, architecture discipline has an interaction with variety of art branches. The interaction between cinema and architecture has become one of the crucial subjects especially in recent years in the academy. Cinema and architecture are in a dynamic stream which feeds and change each other at the same time. In this study, I analyze the studies which discuss “space” as an important figure at the interaction of architecture and cinema. The objective was to determine the factors, the tools and the usage manners of the tools, which provide a relationship between cinema and architecture. Six different keywords (architecture, space, cinema, film, city, urban) in both English and Turkish were utilized in the study, and the obtained sources were examined via critical analysis regarding these keywords. By grouping these sources of the relationship between architecture and cinema according to their common concepts, the consequent objective of the thesis was shaped as to reveal how the related scholars have undertaken and approached to this relationship.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.
