Architectural Education in the University Context

Abstract

Issues concerning sexuality and gender are rarely addressed in the discourse of modern Turkish architecture. Given the gendered associations of domesticity, the architecture of the house provides the most obvious context to explore these issues. In the early years of the Turkish Republic, images of the modern house and modern, secular women were actively promoted by the architects and intellectuals of the new nation-state. Representations of women, which abound in popular journals but end up dispersed between the lines in contemporaneous architectural texts, often escape critical scrutiny. In general, only the imaginary figure of an asexual “ideal Turkish woman” is allowed to have legitimate entry to the discourse on modern Turkish culture. Here, I focus on the figuration of woman in architectural discourse with particular emphasis on a domestic reference in a book by smail Hakki Baltacp?u, a leading intellectual of the period. I argue that by containing an inadvertent reference to the figure of woman, Baltacp?u's text both introduces sexuality and exposes the lack of the feminine element in architectural discourse.     

Exploring variety in factors that stimulate project managers to address sustainability issues

As it is increasingly being recognized that projects play a key-role in creating a more sustainable society, the integration of the concepts of sustainability into project management should be considered as one of the most important global project management trends today. This integration refers both to the sustainability of the project's deliverable and to the sustainable management of projects. In this last perspective, sustainable project management, the project manager has a central and influential position. However, many factors or circumstances influence the behavior of the project manager with regards to addressing sustainability in his or her project?The study reported in this paper explored the variety factors that stimulate the project manager to address sustainability issues in the project he or she is managing. Based on the factors provided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPA), the study used Q-methodology to explore different subjective patterns of stimulus project managers experience. Based on the factor analysis of 49 Q-sorts, we discovered three factors in the stimulation of sustainable project management behavior. These three factors, that represent distinct stimulus patterns, were labeled as “Pragmatic”, “Intrinsically motivated” and “Task driven”.By identifying three distinct patterns of what stimulates project managers to address sustainability issues, the study contributes to a successful implementation of sustainable project management as a new ‘school of thought’ in project management.

Maison de Verre: sections through an in-vitro conception

This paper proposes a revised interpretation of the Maison de Verre suggested by the program for the building, which incorporates both a house and a gynaecological practice. The argument makes a gendered reading of the house, building an analogy between the body of the woman who seeks to be cured by the gynaecologist and the 'organism' of the city which requires 'purging' by the actions of the architect. In the role of scientist eradicating 19th century decay, dirt and congestion from the city, the architect replaces the 'contaminated' urban tissue with clean, white, bright space. The essay takes a new look at the meaning of technology in modern architecture. It also raises questions about our assumptions concerning the authorship of buildings and how they are produced. The conclusion is not unique to this house, but sheds light on the way in which the practices of the architect in the era of early modernism were regarded as redemptive.     

定位、移位和再定位——迪勒＋斯科菲迪奥的针对具体场地/视点的三件作品

迪勒＋斯科菲迪奥的许多建筑方案很难说是建筑,没有明确的使用功能,没有内外的围合,常常源于建筑师自己界定或假想的命题：具体的场地激发了简单的观念,这个观念虽然是独立于功能以外的东西,是建筑师个人感性的出发点。但他们运用建筑师的思维、手段或方式再把观念表达出来,最后的形式本身就是观念直接呈现的产物。这种建筑创作和实践方式的典型例子便是1991年未完成的“缓慢的房子”和2002年在瑞士博览会上的“朦胧”临时展示建筑;然而当一个观念不能再独立存在的时候,当建筑的实用性和社会性进入的时候,观念建筑师又如何面对和适应这种转变？波士顿当代艺术馆作为迪勒＋斯科菲迪奥在美国本土的第一座公共建筑效果又如何？文章主要通过剖析迪勒＋斯科菲迪奥的三座“建筑”来探讨观念、观念的妥协和它的表达方式之间的问题。     

Architects in Skirts: The Public Image of Women Architects in Wilhelmine Germany

This essay explores the public image of women architects in Wilhelmine Germany, examining the tension between cultural conceptions of femininity and the social construction of the architect as a masculine figure. Writings published between 1908 and 1920 concerning women architects are analyzed according to five prominent themes: the architect's body, the negotiation of the building site, the architect's mind and the female brain, the persona of the architect, and the woman architect as mistress of the domestic realm.     

A ritual garment,the synagogue,and gender questions

ABSTRACT

The now-global presence of Samayapuram Mariyamman, a goddess from Tamil Nadu, has complicated discussions about her identity as a “local” deity of limited influence. This article details the contemporary veneration of the goddess in the urban, island city-state of Singapore. For the past thirteen years, her devotees in Singapore have observed a festival in her honor, christening it the “Sri Samayapuram Mariyamman Kul Varppu Celebrations” (KVC). This goddess festival is framed around the core ritual of kul varppu, a “porridge offering” to the deity, anchoring the event firmly within the votive tradition of devotional Hinduism. While this ritual has persisted in households over time, it has now been incorporated into, and stands at the center of a consciously organized, collective, goddess festival in an urban, multicultural, cosmopolitan context, and has acquired a fresh set of meanings. Its guiding principles rest in a commitment to the “ways of the ancestors,” a set of customary religious practices, which have been largely “forgotten” and that are being revived for the “benefit of future generations.” “Bringing back the old ways” is an idiom through which devotees articulate their revitalization efforts, manifest concretely in privileging ritual attention to folk Hindu deities. The article begins by offering an ethnographic grounding for this project, specifying the research trajectory and recording the methodological routes traveled. Next, the article narrates the form of the festival I observed in 2004 and 2005, followed by a turn to its material dimensions, emphasizing the cooking of the porridge, the reproduction of sacred space, and the movement of the deity within this. Coming to the present, the article ends by charting the shifts that have taken place in the festival's enactment over a thirteen-year period and in the organizing group's portfolio and agenda.     

Broadcasting from the “Mediated Center:” Baltimore’s Candelabra Television Tower,circa 1959

ABSTRACT

The rise of post-WWII television markets around the world required new technical solutions for broadcast media. These solutions became novel examples of urban-scale infrastructure, including the “television tower” as a unique structure. Among early American examples is Baltimore’s three-mast “candelabra” television tower, completed in 1959. Although the project’s feasibility depended upon advances in structural design, its most significant innovation was institutional. As an early example of “infrastructure sharing,” Baltimore’s candelabra tower illustrates how innovative built form can engender a new relationship among technology, urban infrastructure, and the production of cultural capital.     

From Jacobs to the Just City: A foundation for challenging the green planning orthodoxy

Now that Jane Jacobs' ideas are seen as urban planning orthodoxy, it is unclear how her institutional goal of progressive change for the field will carry forward. In the 1960s, Jacobs created the conditions for institutional change by offering a thorough critique of the “Radiant Garden City Beautiful” orthodoxy of urban planning and presenting a solution for the problems that she saw with this approach. She argued that the top-down, design-oriented planning of her time hurt the lives of individual residents and diminished society as a whole. Her solution was a new way of seeing the city: as a functional and efficient social system. Since the 1990s, a global planning orthodoxy – of which Jacobs' ideas are part – developed around the “Smart Sustainable Resilient City.” This orthodoxy has been subject to critique, but Susan Fainstein's Just City theory offers tools for comprehensively challenging the approach and a solution for addressing the problems. In order to demonstrate the need for institutional change within the Smart Sustainable Resilient City orthodoxy, I use the Just City theoretical perspective to interpret the results of an analysis of green gentrification in New York City between 1990 and 2014. I argue that the over-valuation of Jacobsian diversity within the current urban planning orthodoxy generates unjust outcomes. The just green city, then, requires de-emphasizing Jacobs' intellectual project in favor of her far more important institutional project.

Following Hélène Cixous' Steps Towards A Writing Architecture

In her book Coming to Writing, Hélène Cixous suggests that the woman writer must always struggle to establish her right to write. Within the field of architecture the act of writing is often assumed to be a passive after-effect of the built form and not an active force that might substantially participate in the process of design and its material outcome in a world. Using Cixous as a guide, I will argue that a creative and critical practice of writing can materially contribute to the thinking and doing of architecture, especially with regard to the woman architect.     

Residential cluster based on climate and energy considerations

Responsive architecture in general and solar design in particular have been directed in recent years mainly towards the development of individual buildings. This article presents a project for the design of a cluster of 100 residential units in the cold highlands of the Israeli desert — the Negev. The project shows the transformation of environmental conditions to built form at different scales: the entire cluster, the individual building and the architectural components of the building. The trajectory of the sun in winter and summer, the direction of strong disturbing winds, and the daily and annual temperature readings are form determinants that establish the structure of the project.It is suggested that an expansion of this design approach can create a “solar urbanism” that will enhance the adaptation of settlements to their environments and thus form a “new sense of place” that so often does not exist in contemporary town planning and architecture.This project is the winning entry of a national competition for the design of “an urban cluster based on climate and energy considerations” organized by the Ministries of Housing & Construction, and Energy & Infrastructure, together with the Israeli Association of Engineers and Architects.

Das Letzigrundstadion in Zürich

The Letzigrund stadium in Zurich. After a record construction time of approx. 1 1/2 years the Letzigrund stadium in Zurich was completed in August 2007. One of the great events taking place in this stadium is the European Soccer Championship Euro 08. The Letzigrund is however not a pure soccer stadium but a multifunctional stadium in which the annual athletics meeting “Weltklasse Zürich” and concerts will take place. In contrast to many other new sites it was not built at the peripherals of the city but in the midst of a residential area. Consequently, it was one of the intentions of the architect to create the stadium very open which demanded very high engineering standards in the realisation of the construction of the roof.

Building for “l'Authenticité”: Eugène Palumbo and the Architecture of Mobutu's Congo

In 1966, President Mobutu initiated his political doctrine of recours à l'authenticité in the Congo. Aimed at erasing all traces of Belgian colonialism, it not only led to interventions in social and political life but also found expression in a new state culture, embodied in art and architecture. We trace the impact of this doctrine in the work of Eugène Palumbo, an Italian architect who designed several iconic public buildings under Mobutu's reign. Palumbo's projects, we argue, highlight the tension of an architect seeking to develop an architectural language evoking both “authentic” Congolese culture and notions of progress and modernity.
