Resistance to Depletion | Yok Oluşa Karşı Direnme…

 

Yok Oluşa Karşı Direnme…

Bedelini tüm insanlığın ödeyeceği tüketim toplumunun sınırsız sorumsuz davranışlarının yanında, üretici firmaların kâr maksimizasyonunu temel alan tutumları ve eylemleri, bütünleşik olarak tüm insanlığı yok oluşa götürmektedir.

İşin ilginç yanı, iklim değişikliğine yol açan ve küresel ısınmaya neden olan göstergelerin kahir ekseriyeti, tüketici davranışlarından ziyade üretici firmaların bedava olan çevreyi sınırsız ve sorumsuz kullanmalarından kaynaklanmaktadır. Ayrıca, çokuluslu veya ulusüstü üretici firmaları, küresel eylem planlarını ve kararlarını görmezden gelen veya bu politikaları arkadan dolaşan çarelere yönelmektedir. Öteyandan küresel anlamda dev uluslararası üretici firmaların, az gelişmiş veya geri kalmış ülkelerin çevreyi kirletme kontenjanlarını satın alma eğilimleridir. Bu yetmediği gibi, yine gelişmiş ülkeler, katı ve sıvı atıklarını gelişmekte olan veya geri kalmış ülkelere ihraç etmeleri küresel ısınmaya tuz biber olmaktadır. Okumaya devam et

Design: Processes Changes / Transformations…

As we can change, transform and increase our awareness, we grow, whether institutionally or individually. The universe has achieved this situation since the beginning of its unknown existence. Likewise, we are humans who continue to achieve this.

In the century that we are witnessing rapid changes in every field. These changes will inevitably be reflected in design thinking and the built environment. In a changing and transforming world, the DICLE  UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE organized the second INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE SYMPOSIUM  with the main theme of “DESIGN: PROCESSES / CHANGES / TRANSFORMATIONS”. (11-12 October 2021) In the symposium, changes and transformations were discussed in the sub-themes of Sustainability, Design and Planning, Design and Technology, Art and Architecture, Historical Environmental-Cultural Heritage and Architectural Education, with the perspectives of the participant’s knowledge and experience.

In this symposium, we would like to thank everyone, especially the selective and evaluative editor and the referee committee, who contributed to the creation of the special issue containing the papers selected from the symposium as a result of the joint work with the Dicle University Faculty of Architecture.

Dear Readers and Dear Authors;

We are together with a special issue in our 51st publication. As a publication policy, Urban Academy prefers to publish themed issues instead of special issues. Even so, when the subject is design, change, transformation and creation processes, We became a stakeholder in Dicle University II. International Architecture Symposium with the support of the publication.

36 papers were proposed to this issue of our journal by pre-selection from the papers presented at the symposium, 22 of them were re-evaluated by our Integrated Editorial Board and received Pre-Acceptance for uploading to the system. 18 of the Pre-Reviewed were uploaded to the system, and 13 of them passed the refereeing process successfully and were found suitable for publication.

Change your attitude before the climate changes

İklim değişmeden tutum değişikliği…

Just like the biological evolution of humans, which has been going on for a hundred thousand years, the sociological and psychological evolution has also continued. Our species has also developed its own social behaviors since they began to live in communities as they learned and improved how to use tools. Shortly, our biological evolution continues in psychological and sociological dimensions.

Even though our universe, which is evolving from chaos to cosmos, has coded the default setting of human beings that we mentioned in the above paragraph into its nature, humanity has tended to evaluate its egocentric approach in a cultural mention. In this context, social rules have developed more and more every day since the hunter-gatherer period. Totems have evolved into religions, religions have evolved into moral and legal rules, and legal rules have evolved into ethical and universal legal rules. Today, the law and ethical rules are evolving towards algorithms, the extension of big data.

With the social rules that digital technology is transforming into algorithms, radical precautions are sought for threats against an uncontrolled power to destroy the world or the civilizational accumulations brought by mankind these days. Mankind has realized that the destruction caused to the environment, largely due to economic competition, will render today’s world unlivable, and that this is about to reach irreparable dimensions, and in this context, global action unions and environmental standards have begun to be put forward. We have devoted our next issue to the topic of Global Climate Change. Articles on this topic are starting to come in. We are afraid that all of them will not be able to reach the next issue and will hang on to our December issue. Okumaya devam et

Conscious Consumption

to Avoid Global Warming

Invoice: Global Warming

We exploited nature unquestioningly and like vandals. Yes, again in this issue, we are talking about nature and the environment. Because when we look forward to the future, we have no doubt that our most important common problem will be the environment.

Our earth started to get warmer when humankind started using petrol. At first, the petrol was used in industry after the invention of steam engine, with a great sense of revolution. Then came the petrochemical industry, and everything we touched got mixed up with plastic.

As the world got plastic, the human behavior became artificial too. Emotionless, helpless, in droves and for the day… We started to use plastic and this trend started to take the breath of our sphere away. Just like someone going through respiratory problem because of “corona”… Okumaya devam et
