The contemporary city is (re)produced in fragments through numerous typological variations. However, the current practice of spatial planning has yet to suggest effective control mechanisms to steer the piecemeal (trans)formation of cities. This paper argues for parametric modelling as a method of guiding fragmentary developments towards the pluralist production of coherent urban fabrics. Following the parametric definition of the basic morphological codes, the paper discusses the computational capacity of parametric modelling to simulate multiple variations in local fabrics and their consecutive integration within a larger context. The proposed model is tested in the context of Istanbul, Turkey.

Intervening with landscape: a tool for urban conservation the case of Yahşibey, Bursa /
Arslan Sönmez, Gökçe; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Baş Bütüner, Funda; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2016)
Historic urban sites are complex heritage places with various tangible and intangible values. Due to the ongoing life, they are subject to continuous change, which can lead to partial or total loss of their heritage values. Hence, urban conservation aims at developing responses to the changes in historic urban sites, while sustaining their tangible and intangible values. As for all the interventions in heritage places, urban conservation interventions should follow the main principles of 'reversibility', 'r...
"Spine" as the constructive element of the city : case study Tirana, Albania
Gürsel, Attila; Günay, Baykan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2012)
This particular study is about the main boulevard of the city center of Tirana that is the capital of Albania since 1920. The main boulevard, which has a function of a "spine" of the central business district, was designed as an idea by the Italian architects in 1925. The new government needed immediately governmental buildings like minstries, a palace and a strong form that connects all of these facilities together in a monumental way. This "spinal" circulation system was inspired from the urban movements ...
Transformation of a public space in İstanbul: the Eminönü Square
Çin, Tümay; Bilsel, Fatma Cânâ; Department of City and Regional Planning (2006)
Urban public spaces have always been subjected to physical, economical,social, political and cultural transformations of the city. These changing dynamics could cause decay in the spatial qualities and could also lead to a loss of values and identities of urban spaces, especially in public spaces. This thesis explores the qualities of a particular urban space in Istanbul: the Eminönü Square. Providing a guideline for the future urban design projects,the structure and the identity of the historical public sp...
GLOBALIZING POLYCENTRICITY IN ISTANBUL: MAMDANI-TYPE FUZZY RULE-BASED MODEL OF CBD OFFICE SPACE RENTS
Erol, Işıl; ÖZBAKIR, Buket Ayşegül (2012-11-01)
For some two millennia Istanbul has been one of the world's greatest cities, and is today classified as an "Alpha-" world city in the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) group's 2010 rankings. Istanbul is an emerging global city that is facilitating Turkey's transnational integration into the global economy, and as of June 2009 the city had the second largest office stock among all Southeast European countries. This paper investigates the determinants of office rent levels in the city's Central Business D...
Evoking the city’s past, recollecting the citizen’s memory in a post-conflict urban setting: the case of Suriçi, Diyarbakır
Kaya, Berçem; Severcan, Yücel Can; Department of City and Regional Planning (2021-1-06)
In different historical period of times, cities are the subject of the dialectic between destruction and reconstruction. This destruction is threatening the socio-spatial, socio-political character of cities and daily life practices of the locals by destroying the physical setting of the place, which erase traces of the past. This process brings a memory loss in urban places, for the sake of converting the city into the place of dominant ideology or authority. For this reason, during reconstruction processe...
