Housing and Shelter

HOUSING AND SHELTER

The need for shelter and the concept of space formed in accordance with this need arose as a result of the effort to live in nature. Housing and dwelling design, which corresponds to the concept of shelter, overlaps with the historical development of mankind and has come to the present by incorporating the concept of architecture.

The spatial shaping of these concepts is the result of all the physical, social and economic qualities of human beings. These qualities are the basic determinants of the concept of culture, which is a human characteristic. Wherever human beings are mentioned, there is culture. Culture can be explained with sub-concepts such as knowledge, accumulation, experience, education, some of which are biological, some of which are social and all of which belong to human beings (Gur, 2000; Rapoport, 1977, Asasoglu A. 2013). The need for shelter is shaped by the influence of culture, and housing and housing design emerge differentiated as a result of all these contexts.

Method and Implementation Steps

Within the framework of the topics to be dealt with in the workshop under 4 main headings, it is intended to open the presentations for discussion with a conference to be organized with invited speakers from different disciplines who are experts in their fields.

These titles are in the following order:

Sociology of Space,

Contemporary Residential Architecture,

Urban Transformation and Housing,

Real Estate and Housing Investment.

The topics will be open for discussion to all interested parties.

The conference will be followed by a process of information exchange and panel discussions. The workshop will be concluded with drafting sessions, a conference, a study tour, the printing of a compilation book, and a book launch seminar.

A technical visit is recommended as part of the study.

Suggested areas are as follows:

2- Copenhagen

Orestad in Copenhagen is a part of the city that has been created for some time. It is an area known for many examples. Aarhus is also at the forefront of Danish architecture. Aarhus also has a lot of housing and new buildings.

3- Zurich

Aside from a few new areas in Zurich, one of the most important areas being worked on is the Glatt district.

One of the most recent developments is the Neu-Oerlikon area. Oerlikon is actually one of the center-periphery areas where immigrants to the city also live densely. Neu-Oerlikon is one of the areas immediately following this area.

For these developments in Zurich, a team of local architects (many of them actually famous worldwide offices) called Group Krokodil is also working.
