Rethinking Types: A Pedagogical Proposal For Design Studios That Focus On Typology

Typology -as an analytical concept to inform our understanding of design- has been a recurring discussion topic in architectural circles. While there are several canonical sources to conceptualize the idea of type, how designers frame the term and instrumentalize it varies significantly. The paper initially presents a quick account of the trajectory of typological approaches, particularly in architecture, and provides a range of formulations offered by both theoreticians and practitioners. Then, a range of cases �involving both historic and contemporary practices- will be elaborated to demonstrate how the notion of type is manifested in the work of key designers. Building up on the diverse formulations of type in existing literature, the paper offers an instrumental conceptualization of type in the context of design studio pedagogy. Finally, the paper will present a concise assessment on the role of types in design processes.

Keywords: Architecture, design studio; typology.

Mimarl�k disiplini i�inde farkl� zaman dilimlerinde tekrarlanan bir tart��ma konusu olarak kar��m�za ��kan tip ve tipoloji kavramlar� makalenin ana konusunu olu�turur. Tasar�m s�re�lerine dair analitik bir kavram olarak tan�mlanabilecek tip i�in �e�itli tan�mlar bulunsa da, tasar�mc�lar�n tipleri nas�l ara�sal hale getirip kulland�� farkl�l�klar g�sterir. Bu makalede �ncelikle tip �zerine birikmi� literat�re dair k�sa bir d�k�m sunulacakt�r. Ard�ndan, farkl� d�nemlerde tipleri tasar�m uygulamalar� i�erisinde ana eksene alan mimarlar�n i�lerinden bahsedilecektir. Kuram ve uygulama yakla��mlar� �zerinden gidilerek, tipleri tasar�m s�re�leri i�erisinde ana eksene alan bir tasar�m st�dyosu pedagojisinin ana hatlar�na yer verilecektir. Son olarak, tiplerin tasar�m s�re�lerindeki rol� �zerine k�sa bir de�erlendirme sunulacakt�r.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Mimarl�k, tasar�m st�dyosu; tipoloji.
