Abstract
Participation, at its most basic level, refers to individuals taking part in choices
that affect their lives. Through participation people can have a chance to
observe and identify their opportunities and strategies for action and build
solidarity to effect change. In relation to that, the study of participatory
design is a research field that has been actively discussed for many years,
which includes users’ participation in any stages of design and explores the
conversation through designers and end-users.
The main question of this project is “How do participatory design elements
influence the design and construction phases of a youth centre in the context

Participation, at its most basic level, refers to individuals taking part in choices

The main question of this project is “How do participatory design elements
influence the design and construction phases of a youth centre in the context
of Istanbul, Kuzguncuk?”
With its unique context and background Kuzguncuk has a direct relationship
with “participation” and under this question I explore and understand the
values of the participatory design method and try to seek architectural
correspondences within the framework of local sources. The aim of the
project is to investigate an approach to include community members
from various age groups and occupations into the process by exploring
the question of what methods should be considered for the design and
construction of a centre that will provide common benefit to the society
and how these outputs should be interpreted as design and construction
methods. Moreover, I investigate to find a way to develop and formulate an
alternative construction method which can be integrated successfully with
the participatory approach by finding ways of collaborating, understanding,
and interpreting the outcomes from community members through the
implementation of a youth centre in Istanbul, Kuzguncuk. (Less)
