Analyzing Literary Space Through ‘the Spatial Triad’ by Henri Lefebvre in Orhan Pamuk’s ‘the Museum of Innocence’
(2022) Yuncu, Belgin; Ulta, Zeynep Tuna; Oner, Aslı
This paper aims to present a different approach to the notion of literary space in a work of literature with regards to Henri Lefebvre’s spatial triad. Orhan Pamuk’s representation of space in his acclaimed novel; The Museum of Innocence and the actual museum along with the narrative will be referred as the case study since it is a unique example of a narrative transforming into an architectural form. Lefebvre’s spatial triad –perceived, conceived, lived space– that looks at space as a social product, will be applied as an investigatory tool to understand the notion of literary space. Relying on the fact that space can be a narrative acting independently within the narrative itself, Pamuk’s design becomes an affluent space for everyday life objects, without which, a sense of inadequacy would occur all throughout the novel and the actual museum. Conclusively, the main principle behind the selection of Lefebvre over many other existing theories on space is that Lefebvre’s spatial categories has provided the necessary grounds and flexibility in explaining the transition from a literary work into an architectural one on account of his acknowledgement that it would be better if the space in literary texts could be represented architecturally.
Mobilizing Nature-Based Solutions Through Temporary Urban Interventions: A Civic Guide to Ephemeral Landscapes
(2025) Doğu, Tuba; Hande Atmaca; Doğu, Tuba; Çetın, Hande Atmaca
The potential of permeable urban landscapes has gained increasing attention in contemporary academic scholarship on nature-based solutions (Nbs). The common thread of these solutions is related to pressing issues arising from responses to climate change caused by urban densification, necessitating innovative strategies for enhancing environmental resilience. However, these strategies often require extensive timeframes and large-scale implementation. In contrast, temporary approaches to urbanism have the potential to provide answers to these strategies by focusing on citizen-engaged, small-scale, low-cost and low-tech actions. This study engages these two planning approaches in dialogue by focusing on overlooked urban interstices—small and unnoticed impervious spaces that have significant potential to become permeable. Developing a conceptual framework, the research explores how ephemeral installations can transform these interstices into nature-based, scalable and socially engaged landscapes. Applying this framework, the study adopts prototyping as an experimental research method, structured around three phases: (1) experimentation: incorporating nature-based aggregates, (2) fabrication: forming scalable and modular tiles, and (3) dissemination: creating social value with workshops. Building over the findings of these phases, the paper concludes with a proposal for a civic urban guide that outlines all these practical strategies for activating underutilized spaces through accessible and low-maintenance interventions. The guide aims to inspire civic engagement and environmental awareness, offering a model for small-scale, bottom-up interventions in line with broader Nbs objectives. In doing so, the research proposes a comprehensive approach to urban resilience that bridges planning theories, material experimentation, and public engagement.

Modelling AI in Architectural Education
(Gazi Univ, 2022) Başarır, Lale
This work displays an outlook on major questions concerning the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Architectural education. Gradually, part of the domain knowledge and hard skills become either irrelevant or insufficient by the time the students graduate. This paper suggests that integrating AI in the architectural design curriculum is beneficial for raising designers’ awareness of all areas of architectural design, in the form of input, process, and output. The study views consecutive learning experiences in a continuum and explores the potentials of integrating AI applications and techniques in architectural education, and how architectural design practice may benefit from it. Consequently, it provides insights into how architectural design education may transform itself considering the future impact of AI on the Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) industry.
Tracing What Remains Behind the Natural Coastline: Unpacking the Delivery of Land Reclamation in Yeşilköy Through Lot 5
(Konya Technical Univ, Fac Architecture & Design, 2024) Doğu, Tuba; Başarır, Lale
Landfill practices, which have gained momentum within the scope of global urbanization, have drawn attention to coastlines. Presenting opportunities for legitimate urban growth, altering the coastal edges redefines not only the physical split between land and sea but also the social life it engenders. To address this challenge, this article aims to reveal the socio-spatial dynamics of reclaimed urban coastlines, exploring both macro and micro perspectives and their interplay, ultimately proposing a novel methodological approach by employing a narrative lens. Applying this methodological framework, the article traces the historical trajectory of the Yeşilköy coastline in Istanbul, scrutinizing its macro dynamics through the microcosm of Lot 5. The narrative lens of the study is formed by archival sources, including visual and written texts about the Yeşilköy coastline and Lot 5, and semi-structured interviews. Adopting Lot 5 as a micro perspective, the study sheds light on the crucial role it plays as a critical witness to the evolving winds of change in the social and cultural environment, along with the concurrent urban political tendencies that accompany this transformation. Lot 5's significance lies in its connection to Motel Yeşilköy, a renowned mid-20th-century architectural landmark, situated in the same parcel. By acknowledging its association with Motel Yeşilköy, articulating Lot 5 together with the urban context in which it inhabits offers a nested perspective for deciphering the reclaimed coast of Yeşilköy. The paper concludes that the Yeşilköy natural coastline, despite being subjected to landfilling, perpetuates both in urban memory and as a physical boundary. The findings of this paper, therefore, suggest the coastline reclamation to be evaluated within the intricate nature of intertwined spatial narratives at multiple scales, rather than as an expansion of an urban edge isolated from its context.
