Item Open Access Achieving inclusion in public spaces: A shopping mall case study(Springer, London, 2012) Afacan, YaseminItem Open Access Adaptation and systems of cultural value(Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2017) Kennedy-Karpat, Colleen; Sandberg, E.; Kennedy-Karpat, Colleen; Sandberg, E.Item Open Access Appropriating the masculine sacred islamism, gender, and mosque architecture in contemporary Turkey(Routledge, 2018) Batuman, Bülent; Staub, A.Religious duties for men and women differ in Islam, and they determine how the two appear in public. While men are required to perform Friday and Eid prayers in the mosque with the congregation, women are not. This has historically led to the formation of the mosque as a masculine space, in which men use the main prayer hall and women occupy a secondary and separate women’s section. The 1990s witnessed a global tide in women’s demand for equal mosque space, contesting gendered conventions. In Turkey, this tide coincided with the rise of the Islamist Justice and Development Party to power in 2002. After this, women came to the foreground not only as users but also as designers of mosque spaces. This chapter analyzes two recent mosques built in Ankara and Istanbul, both of which embody significance in terms of long-lasting tensions between modernity and tradition in mosque architecture.Item Open Access Benevolence(Routledge, 2001) Mutman, Mahmut; Taylor, V. E.; Winquist, C. E.Item Open Access Bill Murray and Wes Anderson, or the curmudgeon as muse(Palgrave Macmillan, New York, 2014) Kennedy-Karpat, Colleen; Kunze, P. C.As Melena Ryzik joked in a report from a Golden Globes after-party, “Ain’t no party like a Bill Murray party, because a Bill Murray party don’t stop.”1 Although it was meant to encapsulate the antics of a single evening, Ryzik’s observation resonates beyond one star-studded gala into the arc of Murray’s entire career, and director Wes Anderson has certainly enjoyed a Bill Murray party that seems like it won’t soon stop.Item Open Access The Changing pattern of segregation and exclusion: The case of Ankara(Rawat Publications, 2007) Altay, Deniz; Türkün, Asuman; Sandhu, R. S.; Sandhu, J.Item Open Access The changing roles of female labour in economic expansion and decline: the case of Istanbul clothing industry(Wiley‐Blackwell, 2005) Eraydın, A.; Erendil, Asuman T.; Nelson, L.; Seager, J.In this chapter, we use our research on female labor in Istanbul’s clothing industry to examine the effects of industrial boom and bust cycles on women’s lives.1 First, we trace how women gained entry into new globally oriented production systems during the clothing industry boom period (1980–95), exploring how entry into factory production shifted women’s identities and roles both in the family and in society. We argue that the restructuring of production not only generates new labor processes, but also creates new relations between home and work (see also Nippert-Eng, 1996; Castells, 1997; Weyland, 1997; Felstead and Jewson, 2000). Second, we examine how this segment of labor has been affected during the periods of vulnerability and economic downturn after 1995. Our analysis demonstrates that as the state loses capacity to intervene during cyclical economic downturns, women workers suffer most directly because of their more marginal position in the labor market. The article is divided into four main sections. The first section briefly discusses theoretical debates that shape our inquiry, while the second section examines the structural characteristics of a rapidly expanding clothing industry during the late 1980s and early 1990s in Turkey. The third section turns to the changing work patterns and identities of women workers during those years of rapid growth in the clothing industry. We argue that the incorporation of women into the clothing industry, usually second-generation migrants from rural Turkey, had a significant impact on gender identities and roles within migrant families. The fourth section traces the ripple effect of economic crisis, and the contraction of the clothing industry (2000–1), on women’s identities and family survival strategies. Our conclusion reflects upon the challenges of analyzing the dynamics of gender and work on global assembly lines prone to cyclical downturns such as those that have occurred in the Turkish textile industry.Item Open Access City of intrigues: Istanbul as an exotic attraction(Intellect Ltd, 2011) Ahmet, Ahmet; Köksal, Ö.Item Open Access Claiming the Neo-Ottoman mosque: Islamism, gender, architecture(Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) Batuman, Bülent; Raudvere, Catharina; Petek, OnurThis chapter focuses on the gender politics of mosque architecture within the current context of Turkey in which the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has encouraged the neo-Ottoman idiom. This particular idiom produced distinct ideological meanings within different political contexts. Currently, it serves the absorption of nationalism and the remoulding of the nation-state by the AKP’s Islamism and the making of the Islamic nation—millet. The AKP has also been promoting the mosque as a social space. A significant aspect of this process has been the gradual increase in women’s involvement as users and designers of space, demanding to have a say in the spatial organization of women’s sections in the mosques. The overlap between women’s demands and the governments agenda to endorse mosques also played role in the promotion of neo-Ottoman mosque architecture. The chapter discusses the instrumentalisation of gender politics to legitimise the government’s approach to mosque architecture. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Item Open Access Collaborating with elderly end-users in the design process(Springer, London, 2000) Demirbilek, O.; Demirkan, Halime; Scrivener, S. A. R.; Ball, L. J.; Woodcock, A.The fact that end-users can participate and contribute to the design process, was pointed out in previous studies on user participation to the design process conducted by Cavanagh (1996), Ciccantelli and Magidson (1993), Mitchell (1995), Morini and Pomposini (1996), and Reich et al (1996). For Howes, et al (1998), participatory design is a design methodology, European in origin, giving an important contributory role to the end-user in the development of products they would eventually use. This paper presents a study (Demirbilek, 1999) in which elderly end-users were invovled in the design process by means of participatory design sessions. In these sessions, the expertise of designers and the comments and ideas of elderly end-users were applied to how doors and door handles for domestic use should be designed. Two different design sessions were run for each group of elderly end-users.Item Open Access Color ambiance in interiors(Bloomsbury Publishing, 2012) Olguntürk, Nilgün; Demirkan, Halime; Delong, M.; Martinson, B.Ambiance is the character and atmosphere of a place that is of great importance to interior designers both to express themselves and to create emotionally fulfi lling spaces. Color and lighting are powerful design tools for creating different ambiances. This chapter purports to fi nd out how colored light is used in an interior to provide a specifi c ambiance. One hundred and fourteen undergraduate interior architecture students were asked to make twelve groups to create either a “calming” or “exciting” ambiance in a specially designed set-up. All groups were free to use red, yellow, green, blue, and white colored lights. Findings of the study indicated that for an exciting ambiance, general and foreground brightness were kept bright and color contrasts were used. A calming ambiance was created with dimmed general and foreground brightness and with subtle color differences. Furthermore, factor analysis was used to group the related items in creating an ambiance according to their importance.Item Open Access Color contrast(Springer, New York, 2016) Swirnoff, L.; Olguntürk, Nilgün; Olsson, G.; Luo, M.

In the wake of terrorist attacks, leaders of the targeted countries can try to use media outlets to convey intentionally crafted messages and framing strategies, described generally as public diplomacy, to foster dialogue and shape international public opinion. The success of public diplomacy, however, depends on how far these national messages reach, and how effective they are in swaying international public opinion. Drawing on national and international news sources, this study conducts a framing analysis of 40 new stories covering the Reina nightclub terrorist attack, which took place in Istanbul on New Year's Eve of 2017. It analyzes the similarities and differences in the national versus international media coverage of the incident and discusses their implications for the effectiveness of Turkish public diplomacy.Item Open Access The concept of beauty in art(Elsevier, 2022-01-01) Turan, Fulya; Vargel, İ.; Özgür, F. F.Before the invention of the camera, it was only possible to document beauty through art. For centuries, art and beauty were inseparable. Different meanings were attributed to the “beautiful” in history. Sometimes noble simplicity and calm sublimity were accepted as beauty; sometimes moral beauty was at the forefront. Among the beauties, a special place and importance was given to female beauty in the history of art. The untouched, desired, hopelessly loved woman of the Middle Ages later became the main subject of a painting genre. Nudes, which were first made for religious reasons such as to depict a specific scene from the bible, later diversified under the subject of Venus. The female body has become the object of sensual consumption. In addition to female beauty, the beauty of nature has always been among the subjects of art. Art imitated nature for a while because it was beautiful. It was the background to which man was exposed during his natural evolution. The proportions of nature were good for people, they were found beautiful. Nature, which was previously handled only with a style based on imitation, was handled with an abstract expression in time, thanks to the avant-garde artists of the 20th century. It was a period in which different styles of expression were tried. Modernism, where wisdom, beauty, and refinement were sought, was for an elite audience who idealized nature. It left its place to postmodernism in which sensual stimulation was sought rather than an intellectual admiration, which is for mass media and where craftsmanship is idealized. The individual of the 21st century consumer society, who is passionately attracted to the beauty of their own image that is presented to the gaze of others on social media, resembles the nobles of the Renaissance period, when the charm of the wealth obtained through overseas trade was depicted with a similar passion.Item Open Access The conceptual basis of building ethics(Routledge, 2000) Pultar, Mustafa; Fox, W.The nature of building(s) and people’s attitudes towards them are determined by two types of factors: and among the latter, ethical predicates are probably the environmental cultural. most influential; not only because they determine how buildings are evaluated by people, but also because they form the basic precepts through which professionals act in designing and constructing them, and through which resources are allocated in competition with other socio-economic needs.Item Open Access Das Fernsehen in der Turkei(Babel Verlag, 1994) Erdoğan, Nezih; Şenocak, Z.Item Open Access Das Neue Turkishe kino(Babel Verlag, 1994) Erdoğan, Nezih; Şenocak, Z.Item Open Access Design strategies(John Wiley & Sons, 1997) Baykan, Can; Cross, N.; Christiaans, H.; Dorst, K.Item Open Access Designing and consuming the modern in Turkey(Routledge, 2016) Gürel, Meltem Ö.; Sparke, P.; Fisher, F.The materiality of interior space reveals a celebration of some ideas, values, beliefs, visions, and even ideologies, while suppressing others. Its reading provides an intriguing social history and serves as a tool through which we can make sense of dominant design concepts, inclinations, and preferences oating around globally at a historical moment in a society. Although never fully in command of how interiors are shaped, all actors responsible for their creation, such as owners, users, decorators, interior designers, and architects, contribute to the discursive formation of certain concepts such as modernity ( Gürel 2008: 230 ). This chapter discusses the production and consumption of design and modernity through design practices in Turkey. From late-nineteenth-century Ottoman palaces to twentieth-century domestic spaces, the chapter shows how design served as a mechanism for constructing and consuming modern identities associated with Westernization.
