Onarıcı Kent ve Mimarlık (Regenerative City and Architecture) brings together the works produced within LAB III, conducted as part of the main theme of the Urban and Architectural Design Master’s Program, “New Meanings, New Spaces, New Conditions: Regenerative | Resilient | Self-Producing Cities and Architecture.” During the Fall 2021–2022 semester, the Regenerative Design Laboratory LAB III consisted of two modules, Space III and Advanced Design Studio III, and focused on the theme of “Regenerative City and Architecture.” The studies aimed to conceptually explore the city through sustainable, resilient, regenerative, and restorative design practices, while developing design approaches at the rural–urban interface. Throughout the semester, students identified areas in need of regeneration at the rural–urban interfaces of the city and developed regenerative design approaches and in-depth design concepts. Focusing specifically on Istanbul, the projects addressed ecological, economic, social, and cultural sustainability as an integrated system of design, examined the relationships between ecological and biological ecotones across different scales at the rural–urban interface, and proposed architectural and urban speculations, scenarios, and strategies for the revitalization of the city.
