Urban and Environmental Rights in the Constitution / Ruşen Keleş
The author, by focusing on urban transformations, which have accelerated in Turkey with the recent announcement of the Law on the Transformation of the Disaster Risk Areas, analyses the urban and environmental rights in the Constitution. He states that the entire jurisprudence system is a superior institution and the determinant factor in the working of the system, which provides efficiency and productivity, is the level of economic, social and cultural development. He further emphasises that the deserved protection of the citizen’s rights and the historical, cultural, art and architectural values of the environment are directly related to the urbanisation of the citizens, development of civic consciousness and the light of enlightenment reaching every level of the society. It is to him that as long as there are people working in central and local governments, who can degrade cultural and art values, neither the rights of the Republic, nor the citizens can be protected.

ARCHITECTURAL CRITICISM

Designed by Dürrin Sürer and Metin Kılıç, Association of Automotive Industry Exports Technical and Industrial Vocational High School, has received 2012 National Award in the “Building Category”. The author, while evaluating the building from the perspective of contemporary education models, also establishes her critical architectural approach by “colliding the notions of type and typology with the experience of unique space”. It is to her that the design of the building shows that space quality can also be achieved by standing away from complex philosophical or sociological sub-texts.

ENVIRONMENTAL ARCHITECTURE
A Look at the Sustainable School Examples / Hikmet Sivri Gökmen
The choice of proper technology and material and issues related to the climate-sensitive spatial solutions, in order to reduce energy requirements in the production of education buildings, are relevant for every environmental friendly building. However as a designer, having consciousness in turning these design inputs into tools of learning and integrate them to educational programmes for children and adolescents in their training process, seem to be as much important. The author brings forth internationally known examples of education buildings, which were designed to be sustainable and give special emphasis to the education of the issue.

“Contact” is a section covering thematic designs ranging from urban scale to the scale of industrial design, which contain genuine ideas on the city, architecture and object that touch us as a designer. The first instance of this new section of the magazine is from the capital of Mexico, Mexico City.
