Charrettes for Developing a Transdisciplinary Approach to Urban Housing

2024    Özdamar, Esen Gökçe

This article is based on the importance of co-existence in urban housing and the search for methods that are capable of increasing the forms and tendencies of dwellers’ participation. Today, with shifting roles in architecture, it is essential to adopt an approach that involves architects, designers, planners, experts, and dwellers to create a fusion of different housing approaches. Therefore, how can a seamless collaboration be established in cities such as  ̇Istanbul, where participation is relatively low? A possible approach to rethinking co-existence as a design process is to apply transdisciplinary (TR) approaches through architecture and design charrettes that enable active participation through open and interactive dialogues.Therefore, architectural charrettes play a role in the application of transgressing conventional modes of participatory processes, replacing them with the TR approach’s development of an open and interactive atmosphere.
