Today, it is known that formal education models alone are not sufficient for the complexity of design education. Thus, these models should be supported by informal methods. In contemporary architectural education, the formal structure is supported by various informal education tools such as competitions, workshops, and panels. However, although it is seen as two different education models, it is not possible to draw a clear boundary between formal and informal education. Because it can be said that today's formal education contains informality and informal education has various formal aspects. In this context firstly, formal, informal, and non-formal education models are examined. Furthermore, extracurricular, and co-curricular activities, which are a part of formal, informal, and non-formal education models, are explained. Secondly, the workshops, which are seen as an informal tool in architectural education, are examined according to their characteristics such as method, subject, actors, organizer, duration, and venue. Subsequently, this article discusses the formal and informal status of workshops according to these characteristics. The discussion is carried out over four workshops with different characteristics, organized by the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Istanbul Kültür University under the name of “Bahar Atölyeleri” (Spring Workshops). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four participants who participated in four different workshops. Thus, it was aimed to discover the formal and informal aspects of the workshops by conducting interviews with the participants.
A Research on Mosque and Neighborhood in Rhodes City in the Ottoman Period ÖzYaklaşık 3000 yıllık kadim bir geçmişe sahip olan Rodos, 1522 yılında Saint Jean Şövalyeleri'nden alınarak Osmanlı Devleti egemenliği altına girmiştir. Bu dönemde Osmanlı Devleti adayı kuşattıktan sonra öncelikli olarak kent surlarını onarmış ve sur içi bölgesine yerleşmiştir. Ayrıca sur içi bölgesinde yer alan Bizans ve Şövalyeler dönemine ait birçok yapı yeniden işlevlendirilmiştir. Bu yapıların başında kiliseler gelmektedir. Osmanlı döneminde bu kiliseler, camiye, mescide ya da mektebe dönüştürülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra sur içi bölgesine birçok yeni yapı inşa edilmiştir. Yine bu yapı grubunun başında camiler ve mescitler gelmektedir.Bu çalışma kapsamında öncelikle, Osmanlı döneminde Rodos sur içi bölgesinde yer alan tüm mescitlerin ve camilerin mimari özellikleri incelenmiş, daha sonra bu yapıların plan ve kesitleri derlenerek katalog hâline getirilmiştir. Ayrıca bu yapıların hepsinin konumları mevcut Rodos haritası üzerinde gösterilmiştir. Çalışmanın ikinci aşamasında 1831 yılına ait nüfus sayımı verilerinden Rodos kentine ait mahalle isimleri elde edilmiş, bu mahalle isimleri ile dinî yapılar eşleştirilmiştir. Böylece kente ait mahalle konumlarını ve olası sınırlarını gösteren yeni bir harita üretilerek Osmanlı döneminde Rodos'un görünümü üzerine yorum yapılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda çalışma hem Osmanlı döneminde Rodos adasında bulunan tüm cami ve mescit yapılarının derlendiği katalog çalışması olarak hem de Osmanlı kentlerinde cami ve mahalle ilişkisini inceleyen bir araştırma olarak mimarlık tarihi literatürüne katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
COVID-19 pandemic caused transformation by influencing the physical and psycho-social status of houses, and by introducing different functions and needs which led to or will lead to changes in individuals’ expectations from their houses. Drawing on this idea, this study allows for the detection of such changes through examination and for the consideration of future house arrangements, housing designs and their production by identifying the usage possibilities of existing houses. The research design is structured in three main steps. First step is the literature part that draws the conceptual framework of the study. Second step includes survey technique with use of panel design as a quantitative research method. In the research, third step has built with semi-structured interview to be deepen analyzing of the results of the quantitative part. The findings reached through this study have the potential to lead future house arrangements as well as housing production and design which are also significant in terms of innovative and creative housing designs studied within disciplines such as interior architecture and architecture. Sample of the research is the city of Istanbul which is first of the most affected cities from COVID-19 pandemic. Selecting a big and multi-component metropolis like Istanbul as research area for residential spaces brought different difficulties in the application processes of research methods while allowing the multidimensional examination of the subject. The research design proposed by this study possess the quality of a guiding sample for future scientific studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
