Housing models that target rather typical family structures are increasingly failing to meet the needs of the new social changes regarding the rapid urbanization due to the mass-migration to cities, the lack of affordable housing, and the adoption of the sharing economy practices. As an architectural counterpart of the social dimension of sustainable development, co-living is introduced as a connected way of living, enabling sustainable living practices through efficient use of resources and space while sharing consumption. With respect to this, adapted collective residential units (namely informal co-living environments) come into use in places where affording a house becomes a challenging aspect and the conventional residential units do not reflect the transforming social demographics and economy. The reflection of the requirements of changing social and economic structures on urban settings can be seen in Turkish houses as well. This research, accordingly, focuses on co-living environments in Ankara, Turkey that were transformed from typical single-family residential units by its residents. Through investigating these co-living spaces, it is aimed to contribute to the current understanding of co-living practices, explore the spatial, economic and social underpinnings of these living models, and their relevance to the sustainable development while presenting initial findings regarding spatial use that can be of guidance for future co-living design processes.

CO-LIVING EXPERIMENTS REVISITED, WITH TWO CASE STUDIES FROM THE NETHERLANDS: ORGANIZATION, COMMUNITY, AND DESIGN DIMENSIONS IN CO-HOUSING Kanyar, Sıla; Balamir, Aydan; Department of Architecture (2022-10-11) Besides the shortage of affordable housing, the exclusion of household diversity and disadvantaged groups in mainstream house production necessitates the search for alternative solutions. Based on the criticism of the lack of alternatives in the current housing production in Turkey, this study reconsiders the co-housing model, which aims to overcome the aforementioned problems. To provide historical background, examples ranging from the first utopian ideas and realizations to the Soviet, Scandinavian, and A...
Predictors of children's satisfaction with mass housing Severcan, Yücel Can (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-02) This article explores the predictors of children's satisfaction with mass housing, which were built in the context of squatter housing regeneration. The results are based on a survey of 186 nine-to-twelve-year-old children living in four mass housing sites in Ankara, Turkey. They show the specific features of the dwelling and neighborhood that were critical in predicting children's residential satisfaction: dwelling location and size; appearance of interior design elements provided by the authority; views f...
