Housing discourses are often framed along a public/private binary, between the polarities of anarchic capitalism versus planned order. But, as Fernand Braudel argues, ‘capitalism' represents the interests of monopoly and empire, and it has little in common with a ‘free market'. This article eschews the binary; instead, it considers how large amounts of capital produce different methods of architectural development. It does so by revisiting the Peabody Trust, a philanthropic initiative established in 1862 to provide affordable dwellings for the labouring poor of London. While this case has been well-rehearsed, what has been overlooked is how it was steered by scrupulous bankers and colonialists with a goal of long-term accumulation. The article investigates official records, housing projects, and personal biographies of the Trustees, drawing comparisons and connections between their housing strategies and other exploits. Money circulated between the colonies and housing projects in a pattern of logarithmic growth. Military hierarchies created efficient means to govern housing from a distance. The article also reveals unintended, but ultimately productive, side effects: the Peabody Trust's values of ‘extension and perpetuity’ in producing durable buildings, flexible floorplans, maintenance practices, and access to affordable land—qualities which are desirable in light of contemporary housing problems.

Gunnar Asplund’s architecture is today synonymous with 1920s Classicism and Nordic Classicism. His designs for the Woodland Chapel (1918–1920) and the Stockholm City Library (1920–1928) stand as prototypical examples. However, this article contests this perception. Through an analysis of these two buildings in light of theories of form and space around the 1900s, the article argues that the chapel and the library are manifestations of the Formalism of German-speaking scholars in a Nordic setting. Alois Riegl, who challenged the classical aesthetic ideal as a universal criterion for judging the quality of art and architecture, framed much of the intellectual background that shaped the Vienna Secession. This study finds that Asplund shared the Secessionists’ belief in a revival of architecture through a purified language of form. The article places Asplund’s practice in the historical context of an early twentieth-century interest in archaeology and suggests that the Secessionists prompted Asplund to search for models in the monumental ancient cultures, e.g. in the Near East and Egypt. Finally, the article demonstrates how August Schmarsow’s theory of bodily movement through space and Riegl’s writings about shadow and shade as formal architectural qualities in Baroque architecture are reflected in Asplund’s architectural design.

Spanning the past two centuries, the world has seen voracious urban expansion premised on exponential population growth and radical transformations in the productive means and methods used to generate goods. This has resulted in built environments designed for social performance and economic production becoming indifferent (if not antagonistic) to the sustenance of pre-existing ecological relationships. In a world that is progressively broken by long-term and sustained environmental abuse, architects need to reconsider how architecture is produced in relation to regional biotic networks. Architectural production may need to be re-approached through non-additive strategies. It is time for architecture to assimilate subtractive strategies, that is un-building part of what has been built to rebalance the relationship between the ecological conditions and the constructed environment. This paper suggests two operating reformulations that could be considered utopian or lead to actual strategies of renaturalisation: succession, where structures would be reoccupied by natural ecosystems, and withdrawal, where structures would be progressively disassembled and removed to reinstate a natural landscape. The discussion on the two strategies will focus on the elimination of what is constructed, the assimilation of subtractive strategies, and the un-building of parts of what have been built to rebalance the relationship between the ecological conditions and the constructed environments.

Despite attempts to change children’s objectified position from ‘human becoming’ to ‘human being,’ they are often marginalized in society (Skivenes and Strandbu, 2006; Kellett, 2009). Generally, children are not directly asked to express their ideas or needs in many situations that affect them, instead, adults decide on their behalf. Children diagnosed with cancer become even more marginalized and their quality of life (QOL) decreases due to their lack of control and the severity of their illness and treatment (Hilda et al., 2015).
尽管人们试图将儿童的客观地位从“人的成长”转变为“人的存在”,但他们往往在社会中被边缘化(Skivenes和Strandbu, 2006;Kellett, 2009)。一般来说,在许多影响孩子的情况下,孩子们不会被直接要求表达他们的想法或需求,而是由成年人代表他们做出决定。被诊断患有癌症的儿童变得更加边缘化,他们的生活质量(QOL)下降,因为他们缺乏控制和他们的疾病和治疗的严重性(Hilda et al., 2015)。

The Iron Age city on Kerkenes Dağı, near Şahmuratlı Village in Sorgun, Yozgat, Turkey (Figure 1, 2) is one of the largest settlements of its period in Central Anatolia. It was built as a single foundation c. 620 BCE to the east of the River Halys (Kızılrmak), presumably by a Phrygian ruler, and was destroyed by fire c. 550 BCE, presumably by Croesus of Lydia or Cyrus the Great of Persia during their struggle. The archaeological and architectural evidence points primarily to Phrygian influence with various other Anatolian and Near Eastern cultural connections. The first survey and short excavation campaign at the site in 1926-1928 was carried out by Hans Henning von der Osten and Erich Schmidt of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago (von der Osten, 1928, 1929; Schmidt, 1929). This brief field work dated the city as “post-Hittite”, now described as Iron Age, and helped possibly identify it as Pteria, a city mentioned by Herodotus in the Histories (Herodotus, 2009, I.76; Przeworski, 1929). A new campaign began in 1993 under the direction of Geoffrey D. and M. E. Françoise Summers with the support of the British Archaeological Institute at Ankara (BIAA) and Middle East Technical University (METU). This project became an experimental ground for state-of-the-art and non-destructive methods, using a range of new technologies, including aerial remote sensing, geophysical survey and digital photogrammetry. The documentation of the 271 ha urban settlement, including c. 750 urban blocks and surrounded by c. 7 km of walls pierced with seven gates, has been a work in progress, evolving with the development of new techniques and technologies for the last 30 years (Baturayoğlu Yöney et al., 2002; Summers and Summers, 2010; Baturayoğlu Yöney, 2021).

The implementation of export-led growth policies in the 1980s engendered the growth of local industries in Turkey. Among the beneficiaries of the policies was the Turkish Furniture Industry. The Turkish Furniture Industry has since experienced remarkable growth according to Eastern Mediterranean Development Agency Report (2014). For instance, Wang (2019) indicated that among the countries that exported furniture to less developed countries between 2009 and 2013, the Turkish Furniture Industry ranked third only behind Mexico and China. Overall, the industry’s growth trend as captured by Trade Map (2016) showed an upward progression from 29th amongst exporter countries in 2005 to 14th in 2015. As a result of this growth, the Turkish Furniture Industry employed 229,915 individuals in 2016 and made a 3.6% contribution to global furniture production, amounting to US$12.5 billion in the same year. As Türkiye continues to consolidate its position as a strong actor in the global furniture industry, the need to document the trend of production and spatial change engendered by the industry’s transition to new technologies, arises.

In design education, applying universal design (UD) and human factors/ ergonomics (HF/E) principles can be a complicated task in practice for students who must apply these principles in their designs. Designing products and architectural spaces according to the UD principles make products and environments usable to the greatest extent by people with diverse abilities. The important thing is that the student designers should involve people with disabilities with an increased awareness and without any discrimination and stigmatization of users in their designs. This could be achieved by gaining empathy toward people with disabilities’ as well as their needs, problems, and expectations from the environment or products in design studio process. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to explore the empathic design (ED) approach as a design learning and experiential tool in interior architecture education regarding the pedagogical outcomes and process assessment of ED. So, the main aim of this study is to investigate the role of three ED techniques on undergraduate interior architecture students’ UD solutions in the design process. To explore the effects of building empathy and its reflections in design studio process, it investigates how experiencing ED process has an impact on students’ empathy level, decision making process and perceptions of learning experience.
