Özet

Openness is an important quality of architecture that facilitates its adaptation to the changing spatial, social, cultural and environmental parameters of the world in the 21st century. The recent pandemic of COVID-19 has brought about the return of open space to the architectural agenda, given the need for openness and social distance. Aside from the pandemic, the current economic crises, ecological concerns and technological advances also lead us to consider open architecture as a means by which we can understand the new dynamics and realities of this century. Thus, we announced Open Architecture as the theme of the years of 2021–2022 in the design studio of Atelier 1 at Gazi University Faculty of Architecture Department of Architecture in Ankara. We discuss openness as a site-specific quality that allows architecture to establish new relationships with the site and society. Hence, the students of the studio design their open architectural projects to be responsive to the physical and social potentials and problems of the city of Ankara recently.
