Abstract

In recent years, various design approaches have come to the fore in design environments that aim to take into account the diversity of human abilities and conditions in the design process. One of these approaches is inclusive architectural design. In this research article, it is aimed to reveal the importance of designing by considering the current conditions and the possibility of change in the future in architectural design, and to include as many people as possible in the design. In this context, inclusive architectural design is suggested for the sustainability of architectural design in the light of changing environmental and ecological strategies, and within the scope of combating problems that arise in the process such as global warming and climate change. It is questioned how inclusive architectural design should be, the design practices that it responds to needs, what is necessary to ensure the sustainability of human and nature harmony. Inclusive architectural design examples have not yet been included in architectural research in Turkey. Therefore, in this article, a model proposal has been developed for our country by researching inclusive architectural design decisions. In conclusion, inclusive design has the potential to help address the challenges of our diverse and aging society in a sustainable way, by offering a variety of spatial attributes and opportunities for use, along with specific certification systems.

Çevresel ve ekolojik stratejilerle kapsayıcı mimari tasarım modeli

Abstract

Son yıllarda tasarım ortamlarında, tasarım sürecinde insan yeteneklerinin ve koşullarının çeşitliliğini hesaba katmayı amaçlayan çeşitli tasarım yaklaşımları öne çıkmaktadır. Bu yaklaşımlardan biri de kapsayıcı mimari tasarımdır. Bu araştırma makalesinde, mimari tasarımda mevcut şartlar ve gelecekte değişme ihtimalleri göz önünde bulundurularak tasarım yapılmasının, tasarıma mümkün olduğu kadar daha çok insanın dahil edilmesinin öneminin ortaya konması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliği gibi süreç içerisinde ortaya çıkan sorunlarla mücadele kapsamında ve değişen çevresel ve ekolojik stratejiler ışığında mimari tasarımın sürdürülebilir olması adına kapsayıcı mimari tasarım önerilmektedir. Kapsayıcı mimari tasarımın nasıl olması gerektiği, gereksinimlere cevap olarak verdiği tasarım pratikleri, insan ve doğa uyumunun sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanabilmesi için nelerin gerekli olduğu sorgulanmaktadır. Kapsayıcı mimari tasarım örnekleri Türkiye’de mimari araştırmalara henüz dahil edilmemiştir. Bu nedenle, bu makalede kapsayıcı mimari tasarım kararları araştırılarak ülkemiz için bir model önerisi geliştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, kapsayıcı tasarımın, çeşitli mekânsal nitelikler ve kullanım fırsatları sunarak belirli sertifikasyon sistemleri ile birlikte, çeşitlilik gösteren ve yaşlanan toplumumuzun zorluklarını sürdürülebilir bir şekilde ele almaya yardımcı olma potansiyeline sahip olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
