Abstract: Turkey's geography is rich in cultural diversity. The existing diversity is reflected in all areas of life. Among these areas, architecture cannot be ignored both in terms of scale and building stock. In this context, architecture is in constant relationship with cultural heritage. In a professional sense, it is inevitable to produce new buildings in the historical environment and to know how the cultural heritage will form an input to the design. For this reason, studio studies, which are the basis of architectural education, constitute the most important process. In this context, within the scope of the studio 5 course of the 2023-24 fall semester of the Department of Architecture of Yeni Yüzyıl University, “experimental design of a faculty of architecture between 8000-10000m2” was carried out in Haydarpaşa-Selimiye with the participation of 10 students. Haydarpaşa-Selimiye neighborhood is very rich in terms of many types of buildings built in the 19th and 20th centuries of the Ottoman Empire. The aim of this study was to enable the participating students to develop design approaches sensitive to the historical environment. In the first stage; the area determined as the study area was examined and design problems were aimed to be revealed, and the projects created in this direction were questioned by supporting the determined design criteria and environmental analyzes. In the second stage, design approaches were shaped in line with the environmental analysis and the concept, and periodicalstudy examples emerged. Existing texture-historic environment unity, historical environment-new building design approaches were the achievements obtained at the end of the semester. In the conclusion section; in line with the approaches developed by the students, the evaluation of historical environment data and new building design approaches were evaluated, and the importance of new building designs in the historical environment in architectural education was emphasized.

Abstract: The term “porosity” refers to the idea of interconnectedness between the spaces and institutions of ports, cities, and their surrounding areas. While porosity refers to the overall interconnectedness between different entities, an interface specifically refers to the point of contact and interaction between the same two entities. This paper goes beyond the idea of an interface and emphasizes a continuous network of port-related spaces and practices that shape the port cityscape. It also provides a historical perspective on the evolution of port/city boundaries. Additionally, this paper explores maps and conceptualizes port city porosity on both sea and land sides, measures, and reconsiders porosity in these regions. The thematic issue opens questions for further research such as: Can the interconnectedness between port and city areas, along with maritime pockets in the city and surrounding territory, enhance the resilience of port city activities? Does the existence of porous borders between port and city allow for easier transitions? The idea of transitions is particularly relevant in the context of the dynamic and ever-changing nature of port and city activities. As economic, social, or environmental conditions shift, there may be a need for both the port and city to adapt and evolve. The degree of porosity between them can play a role in facilitating or hindering these transitions.
