Edirne’de Bir İngiliz Misyonerlik Cemiyeti: Evangelikalizm, Milenyalizm ve Yahudiler
(Türk Tarih Kurumu, 2019) Sağ, Mustafa Kaan
British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews (BSPGJ) Yahudileri Hıristiyanlığa döndürmek amacıyla 1842’de Londra’da kurulmuş bir İngiliz misyonerlik cemiyetidir. Cemiyet, 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Avrupa ve Kuzey Afrika’da açtığı merkezlere 1865’te Edirne’yi de eklemiştir. Tıp ve eğitim hizmeti sunan cemiyet, bu sayede çok sayıda Edirne Yahudisini Hristiyanlığa çevirmiştir. 20. yüzyılın başında Edirne İngiliz Okulu adlı bir eğitim kurumu çatısında faaliyetlerine devam eden cemiyetin kentteki izleri 1. Dünya Savaşı ile beraber ortadan kalkmıştır. Bugün ayakta olmayan Edirne İngiliz Okulu binası, ancak fotoğraﬂ ardan okunabilen mimarisiyle cemiyetin Osmanlı toplumu ile kurduğu kültürel ilişkiyi tanımlamaya destek olmaktadır. Ele alınan çalışmada, öncelikle BSPGJ ve benzeri Britanya kökenli cemiyetleri Yahudilere yönelten Evangelikalizm inancı üzerinde durulacak, ardından cemiyetin genel tarihi ve Edirne’deki faaliyetleri anlatılacaktır. Ortaya çıkan bilgiler, Britanya kökenli Yahudi misyonlarının İsrail’in kuruluşu ve uluslararası siyasete etkisi çerçevesinde değerlendirildiğinde günümüz Orta Doğu sorununun daha net bir biçimde anlaşılmasına yardımcı olacaktır.

Railway Heritage of Istanbul and the Marmaray Project
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2012) Erkan Kösebay, Yonca
This study explores the significance of Istanbul's railway heritage and discusses the criteria for evaluating the historical importance architectural value and social issues surrounding the city's rail system leading into an examination of the consequences of the Marmaray Project. The Marmaray Project is a commuter rail system designed to unify Istanbul's two independent rail transportation systems and it will connect Halkali on the European side with Gebze on the Asian side of the city. With the beginnings of rail construction in the 1870s the waters of the Bosphorus separated the Oriental Railway on the European side from the Anatolian and the Baghdad Railway preventing a direct connection between Europe and Asia. The Marmaray Project will actualize this universal long desired dream via an under water tunnel. However the design of the project bears significant risks for the city's railway heritage dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. At risk are structures used by travelers lodgings ateliers depots water closets (WC's) underpasses retaining walls bridges and old trees.
Waqf Inscription of Umur Beg: a Study on Inspiration and Context
(Istanbul 29 Mayis Univ & Isam, 2019) Keskin, Mustafa Çağhan
The waqf inscription located at the mosque that was built by Umur Bey is one of the earliest serious attempts in Ottoman cultural world representing daily Turkish spoken by common people have been transferred from paper to public space. Umur Bey was influenced and inspired by the commisioner of the Turkish waqf inscription in Kutahya Germiyanoglu II. Yakup an intellectual member of governor elite whom he knew for several years. Umur Bey's preference of Turkish language whom was a part of the Turkish elite that lost its prestige among Ottoman bureau-cracy does not only show the significance he gives to his mother tongue but also points out the fact that he was worried that the majority of the public was unable to understand Arabic and that the text could be easily understood. Announcement of the waqfiya [the deed of the endowment] in the public space coincides with the land reform of Sultan Mehmed II anticipating nationalization of the landed properties that are foundations' main sources of income. This gives an impression that Umur Bey gives a reaction to this land reform by proclaiming his devoted territory.

Computation and Optimization of Structural Leaf Venation Patterns for Digital Fabrication
(ELSEVIER SCI LTDTHE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND) Gökmen, Sabri
The morphogenetic design process of networking patterns produces anisotropic structural systems that can offer generative solutions for custom design applications. As an example of this type of pattern application, the leaf venation algorithm is introduced that can be customized through parametric inputs and density maps. This method is extended onto mesh surfaces incorporating multiple software applications combining aspects of parametric design, optimization and digital fabrication. The dynamic workflow is presented using a case study project titled “Calyx,” a public artwork completed using the computational tools developed as part of the research. The networking structural pattern of the sculpture yielded to the development of a geometry optimization process that allowed the digital fabrication of planarized structural members. The technical aspects of the design development and post-rationalization process for the construction of leaf venations patterns are discussed.

Early Steps in Automated Behavior Mapping via Indoor Sensors
(MDPI, 2017) Arsan, Taner; Kepez, Orçun
Behavior mapping (BM) is a spatial data collection technique in which the locational and behavioral information of a user is noted on a plan layout of the studied environment. Among many indoor positioning technologies we chose Wi-Fi BLE beacon and ultra-wide band (UWB) sensor technologies for their popularity and investigated their applicability in BM. We tested three technologies for error ranges and found an average error of 1.39 m for Wi-Fi in a 36 m(2) test area (6m x 6 m) 0.86 m for the BLE beacon in a 37.44 m(2) test area (9.6 m x 3.9 m) and 0.24 m for ultra-wide band sensors in a 36 m(2) test area (6 m x 6 m). We simulated the applicability of these error ranges for real-time locations by using a behavioral dataset collected from an active learning classroom. We used two UWB tags simultaneously by incorporating a custom-designed ceiling system in a new 39.76 m(2) test area (7.35 m x 5.41 m). We considered 26 observation points and collected data for 180 s for each point (total 4680) with an average error of 0.2072 m for 23 points inside the test area. Finally we demonstrated the use of ultra-wide band sensor technology for BM.

Border as "zone of Indistinction": the State of Exception and the Spectacle of Terror Along Turkey's Border With Syria
(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) Tuncer-Gürkaş, Ezgi
Turkey's border with Syria today is a laboratory in which biopolitics and the spectacle coincide in new ways. As a consequence of the ongoing war between the state and Kurdish insurgents, and the state of emergency accompanying it, this border region has incrementally transformed into a zone of indistinction in which the spatial concepts of inside and outside interpenetrate. As exception is normalized, the logic of the camp (in Agamben's sense) tends to become a dispositif. Exceptional routines are being exercised in this border region both to (re)construct the figure of the Kurd as a citizen and to generalize the domain of the camp, while also producing bare life in the context of counterterrorism. However, the Kurd as a subject cannot be ambiguously constructed, neither can the region be politically homogenized. Based on multisited fieldwork in the border city of Mardin, I claim that this zone of indistinction is simultaneously the place of revolt and resistance for the Kurdish case. Against this backdrop, the article argues the practical implications of counterterrorism policies in the region by focusing on how the state of exception is enforced on the Kurdish population as a biopolitical tool while being represented as a public spectacle to the rest of Turkey.
An English Missionary Society in Adrianople: Evangelicalism, Millenialism and the Jews
(Türk Tarih Kurumu, 2019) Sağ, Mustafa Kaan
British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews (BSPGJ) was founded in1842 in London in order to convert Jews to Christianity. In the second half of the 19th century the society established several mission centres in Europe and North Africa, including Edirne in 1865. By offering medical and educational service the society converted a great number of Jews to Christianity. In the beginning of the 20t h century the mission became active in the form of an educational institution called "Adrianople English School". Although the traces of the Edirne mission disappeared in the First World War, the architecture of the school building supports the description of the society's cultural relation with the Ottoman society as far as it appears on the photos of the period. In this work first it will be focused on the religious movement called Evangelicalism, which directed BSPGJ and similar British societies to the Jews. Second the history of the society and the conversion of Jews in Edirne will be examined. Finally it is aimed to put forward an outcome which would aid to light the Middle East Question more clearly within the frame of the influence of Britian based Jewish missions on the international politics and the establishment of Israel.
