The main city square, Trg Nezavisnosti, in Podgorica is a relatively young square formed as a part of the new city "Nova Varoš". Its turbulent history of existence is anticipated from the initial placement of a central square distanced from public social events. With several changes in design and outlook over a short period, the square still fails to fit within the general urban image. Besides not being recognized as the central point, citizens do not identify with it in the current state. This paper offers an overview of the square development through an analysis of the social background of each affected period. Through the analysis of unsuccessful attempts at construction and reconstruction, we can sense a much deeper problem that transcends just the physical forms and boundaries. Chains of events and urbanistic decisions that lacked more profound research provided temporary solutions that could not grow old within the city and community. In the transitional period, this place shares the destiny with many others, as decentralization and the fast pace of new urban dwellings make it hard to find a single central point. This research explores more layers of societal problems that physically and visually manifested in the example of the main square in this capital city.

Palestinian refugee camps were established as a "temporary solution" following the 1948 and 1967 wars displacing more than 700,000 Palestinians, a status that has been ongoing for seventy years and three generations. These conditions led to a transformation of temporary camps into an urban sprawl of informal settlements embedded within the city context. The housing conditions of these camps face physical, environmental, social, and health-related challenges. The study analyzes the camp-built environment based on multidimensional indicators and explores the possible rehabilitation strategies. The paper adopts a case-study method to assess the physical conditions of these settlements through an analysis of two of the oldest and biggest camps located in the centre of Amman; Jabal Al-Hussein camp and Al-Wehdat (Amman new camp). The study establishes an assessment model to evaluate the current situation and explores urban strategies that can be implemented to upgrade these settlements.

The conditions affecting architectural form are changing more rapidly and radically today. There is no longer a consistent canon nor a uniform guideline to follow. However, technological achievements offer more opportunities for architects; the buildings are isolated from their surroundings and become formulaic objects. Due to the increasing impersonality of globalized construction, the search for alignment points that help the integrity of architectural works has lost its importance.This research examines those creators and their design methods who reject global trends and try to renew the emptiness of modernism. This paper has collected and analyzed alternative attempts, rich in multi-layered readings, emphasizing the value of the given place. These directions, seeking a connection to culture, history, and art, attempt to identify new points of alignment. How can these cultural elements become a guideline for the design process? How can they liberate formulaic modernity in crisis?This essay explores the answers through a conversation with Adam Caruso. The architect's writings, teaching, and design practice are unavoidable among contemporary architects who represent a critical attitude towards the impersonality of construction and promote the importance of cultural embeddedness. The practice of his office – founded with Peter St John – is fascinating because, in addition to examples from the history of architecture, they also use art-based references to find relevant architectural answers that reflect today's problems. The conversation reveals how we can integrate art-based references into architectural creation and education.
今天，影响建筑形式的条件正在发生更迅速、更彻底的变化。不再有一个一致的准则，也不再有一个统一的指导方针。然而，技术成就为建筑师提供了更多的机会;建筑与周围环境隔离，成为公式化的对象。由于全球化建筑的日益非人格化，寻找有助于建筑作品完整性的对齐点已经失去了重要性。本研究考察了那些拒绝全球潮流、试图更新现代主义空虚感的创作者和他们的设计方法。本文收集和分析了不同的尝试，丰富了多层次的阅读，强调了给定地点的价值。这些方向，寻求与文化，历史和艺术的联系，试图确定新的对齐点。这些文化元素如何成为设计过程的指导方针?他们如何在危机中解放公式化的现代性?本文通过与亚当·卡鲁索的对话探讨了这些问题的答案。建筑师的写作、教学和设计实践在当代建筑师中是不可避免的，他们代表了对建筑非人格化的批判态度，并促进了文化嵌入的重要性。他与Peter St John共同创立的事务所的实践令人着迷，因为除了建筑史上的例子外，他们还使用基于艺术的参考来寻找反映当今问题的相关建筑答案。对话揭示了我们如何将基于艺术的参考融入建筑创作和教育中。

Scheduling is a cultural heritage tool to provide statutory protection to heritage assets. This article is an analysis of the process of securing protection of immovable cultural heritage buildings and sites in the Maltese Islands. Through qualitative interviews with key stakeholders – namely, heritage professionals – this study exposes shortcomings and limitations of the existing local scheduling process. It proposes the public as a main stakeholder and lists several recommendations put forward by the participants for a more inclusive methodology of selecting and scheduling cultural heritage buildings and sites. It concludes by proposing the adoption of modes of rendering the process and assessment of heritage assets less subjective, notably through the adoption of the prototype computation of heritage values based on a heritage value grid.

In line with the changing definitions and boundaries of architecture and the changing roles and professional description of the architect, the need to question and explore the contexts, contents, methods, techniques and tools of architectural design education is always on the agenda. The pedagogical fiction of the architectural studio is treated as a noteworthy issue that is effective in educating architects and shaping architecture. It is a matter of discussion about what the training in the studio should cover and how the content should be processed. This study, developed with an experimental approach to design, questions the architectural design studio's fiction of content and method to rethink its pedagogical coverage and processing. To materialize the discussion on the studio pedagogy, "house" as a design content and "designing in becoming" as a design method are proposed. "House" is re-conceptualized as a basic spatial structure for designing space in terms of its openness to derivation and reproduction. "Designing in becoming" is conceptualized as an experimental design method that creates instability and constructs a field of experimentation at the level of both subject and object. Accordingly, "Becomings of House" is proposed as an experimental design studio fiction through which the conceptualized content and method can be applied together. Based on the conceptualizations made in the study, the pedagogical opportunities and limitations of the proposed fiction are examined. A discussion on the pedagogy of architectural design studios towards experimental design approach is set up.

Analyzing pedestrian movement in urban spaces contributes to understanding how these spaces function. In this study it is revealed by investigating the key questions: (1) From where do the main pedestrian flows come? (2) How does the pedestrian movement depend on the depth of view and spatial situation?A visual programming platform and a geographic information system software, namely Grasshopper and QGIS, are used for this analysis which has numerous plug-ins for assessing spatial arrangements. Personal observation helps to understand how to do the analysis correctly and, simultaneously validate the result of the software calculations.The location of the case study, Dunaújváros, is a major Hungarian city, mainly developed during Socialism. Its historical background explains the transformation related to public spaces’ usage in the city.As a result of the analysis, the main features and problems of the Városháza square in Dunaújváros are determined, and possible solutions are offered for its improvement. More importantly, the existing methodologies for public space assessments were developed further by including the effects of pedestrian behaviour, which can be used for evaluating any other public space.

Today, computer and new art themes are important resources that can reflect its own logic to architectural design inputs and architectural products by opening new horizons in architectural concepts. The fact that art, and therefore architecture, has started to benefit from digital technologies that change the boundaries of life and can be produced with digital media tools, creates a new conceptual discussion and application environment open to development, transformation and experimentation. In the literature, many theories have been produced on the development of digital art, architecture and technology. However, studies should be conducted on the effective/possible methods in architectural design such as digital technologies and digital arts, interactive/text-based artificial intelligence interfaces, and how these methods will transform and change architectural design and architectural identity. With the creation of the architectural form through text-based artificial intelligence interfaces, a new design and production process is envisaged for the discipline of architecture with its possibilities such as autonomous and rapid alternative generation according to various contexts. In this study, architectural plan and form experiments were carried out with the principle of Voronoi diagram, which is a productive and algorithmic system with text-based artificial intelligence interfaces. In this context, it would not be wrong to say that the Voronoi diagram is fractal representations for the resulting products obtained in a fast and autonomous process with multiple alternatives. Architecture, which is in a constant transformation depending on time, technologies and users, will seek a new aesthetic with new production and expression techniques.

Darkale of Soma, Manisa is a historical rural settlement in Western Anatolia. The aim of this paper is to identify the characteristics of Darkale houses and to present a typology based on their authentic architectural characteristics. The method is evaluation of the housing units with the tools of the discipline of architectural conservation. The characteristics evaluated are the lot size and organization, unit-neighbor relations, storey system, spatial organization, construction technique, and material usage. The houses are representatives of the "Hayat house" typology that has been used for centuries in Anatolia. However, the presence of limited courtyards, possibility of houses composed of a single building mass, the partial carving of the units into the hillside, possibility of single storied units and the relation of housing with each other in all three dimensions, and streets continuing throughout the house masses in form of passages differentiate Darkale houses from the other Hayat houses. In addition, the continuing of the maintenance of housing units with traditional materials and techniques; weaving, cuisine tradition, winter food preparation such as pomegranate juice making, olive oil soap production and their storage, domestic fowl raising on the ground floor and courtyards of the houses are intangible qualities of Darkale. The major conservation problems of Darkale houses are abandonment, the functional transformation of spaces and usage of contemporary techniques and materials in the physical interventions.

This study describes a teaching experience that aims to combine application-oriented approaches to computational design pedagogy. In the scope of this study, a hybrid framework is presented, which allows students to transition from manual to digital modes of design. In this transition, parametric thinking and design are selected as a mediator. This hybrid framework is being tested in an elective course of an international master's program in interior design. Columns are selected as the architectural elements for parametric design and experimental production. An "exhibition" is chosen to complete the design, production and assembly tasks. Preliminary exercises and three main assignments guide the process. The three assignments are organized as follows: parametric design and modeling of a single column (Assignment 1-Digital), parametric design and modeling of a family of columns (Assignment 2-Digital), the materialization of an individual column and a family of columns using 3D printers (Assignment 1 and 2-Digital+Manual), and designing the exhibition for displaying columns (Assignment 3-Digital+Manual), producing and setting up the exhibition (Assignment 3-Manual). The experiment with a hybrid framework shows that parametric design (digital) modes that students were unfamiliar with were integrated into the process of developing parametric columns, while exhibiting designed products using their existing skill sets (manual modes). The participants' inability to fully illustrate their technical knowledge of parametric design and digital fabrication in a single course, and the lack of tools and materials to facilitate 1:1 scale digital fabrication have emerged as the major limitations of the teaching experience.
