Kutlu SEVİNÇ KAYIHAN, Sedef ÖZÇELIK GÜNEY, Faruk Can ÜNAL ÖZThe reflection of biophilia, a concept coming from the disciplines of psychology and philosophy, in architecture emphasizes the connection between a building and nature as the main input of architectural design. Various dimensions and design criteria have been defined under the main heading of biophilic architecture, with the objective of eliminating the gap between the natural and the built environment in today's modern cities. This study explored the approach of third year architecture students to biophilia embedded in the design studio program, rather than pursuing a formal, focused approach. The students' sensitivity to a building being a tool to connect nature and humans in urban settings and design reactions were assessed in the context of the major parameters mentioned in the literature.Keywords: Architecture education; biophilia; biophilic design; design studio teaching. ABSTRACT IntroductionThe concept of biophilia is formed by the combination of the words "bio" and "philia". "Bio" stands for the word "live", or "being alive" and, "philias" refers to "the attraction and positive emotions people feel for certain living spaces, actions, and beings in the natural environment" This notion is just the opposite of phobia, meaning deep fears that people feel about objects in the natural world. Social psychologist Erich Fromm used the term in 1964 for the first time. He explains that, biophilia is the psychological obsession of being attracted by things that are alive and vital. It was used to describe the psychological orientation of "attraction to everything that is alive."
In addition to environmental and economic benefits, systematic application of sustainable waste management in elementary education buildings also makes a positive contribution to the education of future generations. This study examines elementary schools in Istanbul, which are part of the Eco-Schools International Programme. This programme was established in 1994 with European Union support and it aims to introduce environmental management systems into primary schools within the scope of ISO 14001/EMAS. A questionnaire study was administered on the theme of litter management and sustainable waste management within elementary schools located in the Asian and European parts of Istanbul city, and the findings of a field survey were examined. Questionnaire findings were gathered under five themes: litter management, composting of organic waste, re-use of school materials, reducing consumption-selection of recycled products, waste management and sorting of recyclable materials.
Teknolojinin, yaşam şartlarının, güç unsurlarının, çalışma biçimlerinin ve daha pek çok farklı olgunun değişmesiyle ofis mimarisi zaman içerisinde seri bir dönüşüm geçirmiştir. 21. yüzyıl başlarında ortaya çıkan yeni iş tanımları nedeniyle 'istediğin yerde istediğin zaman çalışmak' eğilimi ve kurumdan bağımsız bir ofis olgusu gündeme gelmiştir. Ortak bir mekânı paylaşan bireylerin belirgin olmayan sürelerde ve zaman aralıklarında çalışabilmelerine imkân sunan ve yeni nesil çalışma biçimi olarak gündeme gelen ortak çalışma (co-working) kavramı, özellikle bağımsız çalışan bireyler tarafından yoğun biçimde benimsenmiştir. Bu eğilimin bir sonucu olarak enformel çalışma mekânları çeşitli düzeylerde toplu kullanımların gerçekleştiği kamusal alanlara yayılarak çeşitlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle ortak çalışma (co-working) olgusunun ortaya çıkışı ve gelişiminden bahsedilmiş, İstanbul'un Kadıköy ve Karaköy gibi merkezi semtlerinde yaygın olarak gözlenen "kafede çalışma" olgusu belirli mekânlar üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Kafelerde yer bulan enformel çalışma alanları gözlem, görüşme ve anket yöntemleri kullanılarak kullanıcı profilleri, kullanıcı ihtiyaçları, tercih edilme nedenleri ile mimari tasarımları ve kullanım biçimleri üzerinden irdelenmiş, bazı sonuç ve önerilere yer verilmiştir.
