    Spatial impacts of university campuses on urban fabric: The case of Bursa Technical University, Turkiye
    (Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2025) Battal, Imran Gumus; Sen, Ender; Karasu, Baris Mert
    Purpose: This study aims to contribute to research on the interaction between universities and cities by examining how the urban fabric of Bursa Technical University, which has two inner-city campuses, influences and is influenced spatially and socially through space syntax analyses. Theory and Methods: The study uses space syntax parameters such as integration, synergy, and intelligibility in axial map analyses. Global integration is measured by assessing the topological relationships among all axial lines within the system. Synergy and intelligibility values are calculated by correlating local and global values. Results: The number of axial lines increased from 1,744 in 1999 to 1,981 in 2024 due to expropriation. The average axial line length decreased slightly. Mimar Sinan Boulevard exhibited high integration values. Global integration rose from 1.39 to 1.45, indicating improved accessibility and a shift towards an outward-oriented urban structure. Conclusion: Between 1999 and 2024, the campuses of Bursa Technical University have significantly influenced the transformation of the urban fabric. Within the four neighborhoods encompassing the Y & imath;ld & imath;r & imath;m Bayezid and Mimar Sinan Campuses, high residential density areas exhibited increased integration values. Public buildings outside residential areas showed higher integration at road connections but lower values within surrounding residential zones. Compared to the foreground fabric, changes in the background fabric were less significant, indicating the persistence of a privacy-oriented, inward-focused local structure.

    The evolution of habitat in modern architecture: a transdisciplinary perspective
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Battal, Imran Gumus; Serter, Cigdem Polatoglu
    This study explores the evolution of the habitat concept in modern architecture and its impact on urban planning and sustainable development. The research aims to analyze how the concept has evolved over time and its interdisciplinary applications in architectural practice. Using a bibliometric analysis of 971 documents published between 1975 and 2023, the study examines publication trends, key themes, and shifts in research focus. Findings show a growing emphasis on sustainability and urban resilience, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially centered on residential areas - reflecting post-World War II reconstruction efforts and community identity - the habitat concept has expanded to include urban-scale planning and the integration of cultural, environmental, and social factors. Key milestones influencing this evolution include the 1953 IX CIAM Congress and the 1976 HABITAT I Conference, which, alongside the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, established global frameworks to address housing and urban challenges. This study contributes to architectural research by highlighting the expanding role of the habitat concept in creating compact, resilient cities. It emphasizes the importance of sustainable design in responding to global crises and shaping future urban environments, providing valuable insights for architects, urban planners, and policymakers.

    The Habitat Perspective in Post-world War II Mediterranean Housing: A Space Syntax Analysis of Quinta da Malagueira (Portugal) and Carrières Centrales (Morocco)
    (Kim Williams Books, 2025) Battal, Imran Gumus
    This study examines the spatial organization of post-World War II Mediterranean housing through a comparative Space Syntax analysis of Quinta da Malagueira (QM) in Portugal and Carri & egrave;res Centrales (CC) in Morocco. It investigates the extent to which grid-based planning frameworks influence housing configurations, privacy hierarchies, and movement dynamics, mediating between modernist urban paradigms and vernacular spatial traditions. By employing Justified Plan Graph (JPG) and Visibility Graph Analysis (VGA), the research systematically evaluates the implications of modular grid planning on spatial accessibility, circulation networks, and social interaction. The findings reveal substantial disparities in spatial depth, integration, and visual permeability. QM exhibits a rigid spatial hierarchy, wherein courtyards function as mechanisms for regulating privacy and controlling movement. In contrast, CC supports a more fluid, interconnected spatial matrix, utilizing courtyards as semi-public transitional zones. Consequently, the grid-based planning approach is understood as a mediator between modernist architectural principles and localized cultural frameworks through the concept of habitat. This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable and contextually responsive urban planning, emphasizing the adaptive capacity of modular housing models. Moreover, it highlights Space Syntax as a robust analytical tool for quantifying privacy hierarchies and spatial legibility, offering critical insights into the development of human-centered, adaptable urban environments.
