“…Ostrakinda is evaluated within the context of Mediterranean geography, similar to the Teos of Dionysos Game, which conveys archaeological knowledge through playable interactions (Varinlioglu et al, 2017), and the Anatolian Journey Game, which explores the Silk Road (Afshar et al, 2021). The ancient Mediterranean subject serves as the motivation for this study, given the richness of Turkey's cultural heritage.…”

The study develops the 'Ostrakinda' toolkit for teaching morphologies of ancient Mediterranean cities. The methodology consists of a triple structure involving design, play, and analysis phases. In the design phase, the level of interest and actual demands of students regarding game-based learning (GBL) and ancient cities were explored through pre-experiments. The play phase involved experimental studies conducted in courses and workshops, where both physical and digital toolkits were tested by a total of 331 students. The analysis phase aimed to evaluate the impact of the game by systematically addressing five research questions. The results of the paired t-test confirm a significant difference in scores before and after playing the game, thus validating the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Additionally, Chi-square (X2) tests revealed significant relationships between the form of play and the level of abstraction in the game outputs. Individual and group experiences during gameplay were associated with various interactions, and group experiences particularly fostered competitive and collaborative learning. The extensive analysis using the GBL Design Scale, comprising ten critical factors (GBL-Fn), showed that the challenge factor (F8) had the weakest values, while fantasy (F5) and narrative (F6) had the highest values in the correlation matrix. Overall, the study contributes methodologically and contextually to the existing literature, offering valuable findings for the future development of similar strategies in architectural education. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of this interdisciplinary study, particularly with regards to technical, cognitive, and archaeological aspects. Nevertheless, the clear and effective structure of the game holds promise as a valuable tool for learning.

This paper presents early-stage research about the role of gamification in experiencing cultural heritage strongly within the sociological context, specifically focusing on the transformation of the old orphanage located in the historical city center of Mardin. The study acknowledges the significance of the old orphanage as an architectural heritage exemplar, built of natural Mardin stone, situated within a unique historical and archaeological urban environment. However, it recognizes the challenges of preserving the building's heritage value, which necessitate surpassing the superficial restoration methods applied to adapt it into a hotel. The primary motivation of this research is to develop a method for creating a navigable and interactive virtual replica of the orphanage, centering on the processes and outcomes of transferring its heritage value. To achieve this, the paper initially outlines the documentation and analysis procedures employed, utilizing photogrammetry to capture the past and current states of the orphanage. Subsequently, participants engage with a gamified and realistic digital replica of the orphanage, involving task-based interactions and scenario-based experiences. The paper concludes by presenting preliminary results concerning participant reactions to the initial virtual model, delivered through a VR device. By raising awareness about the significance of restoring and preserving historical heritage, this study aims to positively impact the domains of tourism, education, and conservation. Furthermore, it intends to shed light on future research opportunities in the field of digital cultural heritage.

“…This paper is a combined effort incorporating two text-based games designed and implemented by the authors: one on Iranian caravanserais (Eshaghi et al, 2021) and another on Anatolian caravanserais (Vaez Afshar et al, 2021). Also, further research has been published covering other heritage sites: a mobile platform game (Varinlioglu et al, 2017), a virtual reality application (Varinlioglu and Kasali, 2018), and an augmented reality application (Varinlioglu and Halici, 2019). Drawing on the authors' expertise both in the subject of caravanserais and in various immersion and visualization methods, this paper focuses on two components of the Khan Game: GISbased and 360° immersive experiences.…”

The work collected in these volumes has been produced during extraordinary circumstances, as the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to impact working and living conditions. Papers have been written, reviewed and edited throughout lockdowns, challenging family situations and health crises. The high number of submissions and quality of the papers is a testament to the resilience and strength of the CAADRIA community.The papers in this publication have been selected through a two-stage, doubleblind peer review process. All reviews and papers have been evaluated by the Paper Selection Committee. After receiving an initial 488 abstract submissions, a final set of 150 full papers has been selected for publication. We thank all authors for their contributions to the process and congratulate the accepted paper authors.The papers in these proceedings are specifically selected for their contribution to this year's conference theme, following the conference organisers' call for authors to position their work in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the world is experiencing the increasing impacts of climate change, there is an urgent need to reflect on the potential of the latest research in architecture, urbanism and construction to address these global challenges.Our special thanks go out to our more than 180 international reviewers, who volunteered their valuable time and effort. We also thank the organising team in Sydney for developing the 2022 CAADRIA Conference as a strong collaborative effort between academic institutions, industry and practice. We thank Gabriel Wurzer for his support during the proceedings' final production stage, and for facilitating their publication via the open access database CumInCAD.org. Finally, we sincerely thank the CAADRIA community for offering us the honour to serve as members of the paper selection committee for Post-Carbon, the 27 th International CAADRIA Conference 2022.
