| Recommended Optional Program Components: | Participation in field trips to examine adaptive reuse examples in Istanbul. |
| Course Objectives: | This course focuses on adaptive reuse, which addresses the revitalization of buildings or building groups that have lost their original function but still have a physical lifespan, ensuring their integration into urban life. In this context, the primary objective of the course is to equip students with fundamental knowledge of the theory and practice of adaptive reuse. Building upon this, interventions in different building types (such as civil architecture, cultural heritage, and industrial heritage structures) will be analyzed through national and international examples. This will enable students to gain awareness in both conservation and adaptive reuse contexts. Throughout the course, paradigms and principles of adaptive reuse will be discussed; different dimensions such as environmental, economic, social, architectural, and interior design will be debated; and the impact of context and environment (heritage, history, memory, community) on the subject will be examined. Factors affecting the adaptive reuse process and the diversity of the building stock used (historical, industrial, modern, and contemporary buildings) will be emphasized. The course will examine interior design strategies and approaches in different building types, and discuss how to preserve the original character of the structure with interior design solutions that meet contemporary needs. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Recognizes the environmental, economic, and urban memory value of the existing building stock. 2. Advocates that architectural products that have not lost their physical life should be restored without being demolished, even if they have lost their usage life. 3. Can determine the current conditions of the structures to be adapted for new uses. 4. Can distinguish different design approaches and their reasons by analyzing re-functionalized and accepted examples. 5. Takes local and universal values and laws into account in re-functionalization processes. 6. Can produce new designs for new uses within existing structures by integrating them with other design courses. 7. Knows the role and importance of interior design in re-functionalization projects. Makes designs that meet contemporary needs while preserving the original character of historical buildings. |
| This course focuses on adaptive reuse, which addresses the revitalization of buildings or building groups that have lost their original function but still have a physical lifespan, ensuring their integration into the urban fabric. Initially, we will discuss the core concepts of restoration, restitution, reconstruction, and renovation within the context of preserving historical and architectural heritage. Then, we will delve into the terminology and methodology of adaptive reuse and functional transformation, examining various applications through diverse examples of civil, industrial, and cultural heritage buildings from the 19th century to the present. This exploration will highlight global trends in adaptive reuse, followed by a focus on adaptive reuse practices in Turkey, including their spatial organization proposals, transformation stories, and socio-cultural, political, and economic dimensions. Finally, we will discuss the significance of adaptive reuse for sustainable development, physical, economic, and functional obsolescence, new uses for old structures, industrial archeology, and adaptations for art and exhibition spaces. Throughout the course, we will examine environmental, economic, social, and architectural aspects, analyze the impact of context and environment, and encourage students to develop interior design strategies for different building types that preserve original character while meeting contemporary needs. The teaching methods of the course are as follows: lecture, group work, case study, individual study, guest speaker, field work, discussion, project, field trip, reading, observation, collaborative learning. |
