This metric has been defined by changes in physical space of intersection vs. in street, visibility of the sky, continuity of the wall, and ratio of sections. These variables contribute to the “enclosure rating”, a dimensionless number that can determine the perception of urban street intersectional space by occupants. We measured the changes in average heart rate of 15 participants at the selected intersections using a customized wearable sensor kit. We compared the participants’ heart rate towards the intersectional space and towards street and ask participants to complete a comfort-related post-evaluation. Analysis of the data show that subjects who look at enclosed views of streets experienced a lower heart rate than those who look at intersections.","PeriodicalId":359222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research","volume":"59 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141008729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These environments, which respond differently to today’s sociality and daily life, affect the awareness of publicity and direct the formation of physical architecture and social space. While the urban model setup is used against the problem of large-scale building solution under a single roof/cover in shopping malls, it brings together the urban spaces scattered in the city and gives the human communication/interaction process with entertainment culture. The discourse of being an alternative to the city centre, which brings people together, connects time and space, and intertwines activities that vary, prevails in shopping centre designs. In this study, the differentiated interior plan types of shopping malls in Turkey are extracted in the physical context with the spatial analysis, and the intensity of use and supported objects/elements specific to the focus spaces are determined. In the social context, the spatial continuity of the existing public space phenomenon in the city in the common use areas (foci) of shopping centres is evaluated through subjective perception. Beyond similar architectural examples with the effect of globalization and consumption habits, different interior typologies are shown for the designs of new shopping centres, and the effective elements of publicity fiction are discussed.","PeriodicalId":359222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research","volume":"26 s2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141008431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this paper is exploratory, and the exploration intends to unfold architectural phenomena in the context of a revitalised urban heritage area. Urban heritage areas are prone to changes through regeneration or revitalisation projects. The changes result not only in physical change but within the social, economic, and cultural aspects. By addressing the dynamic, complex, and interrelated changes in the urban heritage context, the exploration in this paper is guided by an overarching question: What will architectural porosity unfold in terms of the change of inhabitation in a revitalised urban heritage area? This question will be explored by utilising the idea of assemblage thinking as a qualitative methodological approach to read an empirical case of Semarang Old Town, Indonesia, as a revitalised urban heritage area. The exploration shows that architectural porosity unfolds the relation and entanglement between material and socio-spatial porosities in the change of inhabitation in Semarang Old Town. Furthermore, architectural porosity, as architectural inquiry, could be one of the ways of approaching urban heritage context that unfolds the possibility of incorporating natural ecological cycles of plants, decay, and informal inhabitation, which are usually denied by the conventional revitalisation practice, as alternative voices in the discussion of urban heritage revitalisation.","PeriodicalId":359222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141006457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study assumes that the change in learning styles is related to the level of creativity exhibited in the design process and final product. The theoretical framework of this study, which focuses on the learning strategy of 13 students taking the second-year architectural design project course in the architecture department throughout the semester, is formed by Rhodes' 4Ps (Person, Press, Process, and Product). Accordingly, the skill of reasoning (person) by Sloman and Pahl & Beitz (associative-variant / hybrid-adaptable / metaphorical-original); resource utilization in the design process (press) by Casakin, Akalın and Özkan & Akalın (within domains –hybrid- between domains); design process (process) by Rittel (linear/non-linear) and the created product (product) by Gentner and Markman and Welling (application-analogy-combination-abstraction) were analyzed based on the theoretical framework. The study found that students who experienced different learning styles throughout the semester utilized a non-linear design process to reach the original design, using metaphorical reasoning. On the other hand, students who used associative reasoning with a linear process struggled to analyze abstract and undefined design problems, resulting in variations of already solved designs. To overcome this, learners should be guided to find examples that promote metaphorical reasoning, activate their connection to the context, and encourage alternative thinking. Encouraging the use of metaphorical reasoning as a tool for creative restructuring and reinterpretation facilitates the development of original and adaptable designs.","PeriodicalId":359222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research","volume":"10 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141009335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It emphasizes the importance of conserving cultural and historical heritage, suggesting that assigning new functions to these buildings contributes to sustainability. The study progresses through successful examples of adaptive reuse of historical buildings acquired by the Kadıköy Municipality, addressing spatial, cultural, and legal dimensions. It underscores the importance of preserving the architectural characteristics, spatial organizations, and surroundings of these buildings when assigning new functions. The research advocates for minimal intervention principles in adaptive reuse projects, ensuring the historical and cultural values of the buildings are considered. Furthermore, it highlights that these projects should not only focus on physical restoration but also faster social and cultural interaction. Adaptive reuse projects in the Kadıköy region have been developed in line with these principles, creating active and functional spaces that respond to community needs. These projects successfully demonstrate how the preservation and active use of historical buildings can contribute to regional and cultural sustainability. Finally, the research addresses the challenges encountered in the preservation and adaptive reuse of historical buildings in Turkey, discussing legal, economic, and technical issues, and offers suggestions for effective strategies in this field. The aim is to increase awareness and develop efficient strategies for the preservation of Turkey’s historical structures.","PeriodicalId":359222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research","volume":"48 49","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141010270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These spaces are subject to social, societal, and economic transformations and changes, which can ultimately weaken or even cause the disappearance of urban memory over time. The collective memory of a city, which is closely linked to its physical structure and identity formation, entails the interpretation of physical environment signs and symbolic meanings within the social, historical, and psychological components of society. This study aims to investigate the shifting and transforming role of Uray Street, a significant street that has been part of Mersin’s memory since its inception, as a port city located in the southern region of Turkey. To this end, oral history interviews were conducted with individuals from different age groups who have utilized Uray Street. Through these interviews, the changes and transformations that have taken place on Uray Street were obtained from the narrations, memories, and recollections of the interviewees within the context of their own life stories as urban dwellers with long-term connections to the area.","PeriodicalId":359222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132244312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the spatial qualities that shape the architecture at the design stage offer goals that improve public life, they highlight the continuity of the urban fabric within contextual implications. Large-scale mixed buildings are strongly involved in the urban pattern as a building typology that is being applied and scaled up more and more day by day; with its large volumes in the combined parcels, it determines not only the quantity of its own areas but also the quality of the urban area. Mixed buildings should have a feature that is responsive to human movements, and that communicates through the public spaces they create, not with two-dimensional surfaces in the areas where they come into contact with the city. Living and moving spaces are shaped by architectural structures and systems. In this sense, architectural spaces prepare the ground for the formation of contemporary experience beyond visual interaction. In the study, the changing qualities in the relationship between physical architecture and thematic formations that shape the design of Zorlu Center were examined through spatial analysis. These analyzes made on mixed building designs and discourses, which are at the center of current discussions, have brought a different perspective to the phenomenon of public space in memory with site-specific shaping and design decisions, and an infrastructure that will allow the production of information for new designs has been constructed.","PeriodicalId":359222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design, Planning and Aesthetics Research","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121822169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the significant aspects of the building is the involvement of works of art. One percent of the building cost was allocated to the works of art. Moreover, the architects get inspired by some artists during the building design. Such kind of art and architecture synthesis was common in modern architecture between 1950 and 1980 both in Turkey and in the world. However, this aspect of the TMO building is not known enough in the literature. The aim of this study is to analyze the works of art in TMO General Directorate building in terms of art and architecture synthesis. The research method was mainly based on the analysis of the building on site and the evaluations of existing artworks with the literature about art and architecture synthesis, individual writings of architect Cengiz Bektaş and some artists (Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, Burhan Alkar etc.). These works of art vary from wall ceramic to stained glass, and after 1988, a monumental sculpture was added to the building via competition.
