Officiamuseumed. The Mediterranean Museum System of Design and Applied Arts
(Scuola Pitagora Editrice, 2012) Gambardella, Claudio; Siegemund, Jochen; Ozbil, Ayse
With the construction, in Pompeii, of the temporary museum of enterprises and activation of Officiamuseum (the Regional Museum System Design and Applied Arts), which is the driving force, it is necessary to extend the "system" in a geographically and culturally more extensive. To really make this action strategy for the revival of craft and design - not making constant reference to the European market, especially in these years - you have to devise a The Mediterranean Museum System of Design and Applied Arts. Pompeii, once an important trading center in the Mediterranean, could become one of the centers of this system with the city of some countries such as Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Turkey, etcetera. This project is currently supported by Okan University, Istanbul. Professor Ayse Ozbil about it has made a study on craft turkish. Although there was a crisis with globalization, will be enhanced by our project. Furthermore, this work is also supported by a German university, the Cologne University of Applied Sciences. The prof. Jochen Siegemund stepped in with its expertise in the field of Corporate Architecture. The "System" - a sort of international company museums will represent perhaps a great opportunity for development in the Euro-Mediterranean design.

Understanding the link between street connectivity, land use and pedestrian flows
(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, 2011) Ozbil, Ayse; Peponis, John; Stone, Brian
The distribution of pedestrian movement by street segment in three areas in Atlanta is modeled in relation to measures of street connectivity and land use. Although land use accounts for the pronounced differences in average pedestrian volumes per area, the connectivity of the street network affects the distribution of pedestrians on a street-by-street basis within each of them. The measures of connectivity that are used describe the density of street connections and the extent to which streets are sinuous or aligned. This study enhances previous findings, particularly those using space syntax, by better controlling for the effects of land use as compared to the effects of street connectivity and network layout. Asserting the independent role of street network design is important given that streets act as the long-term framework within which land uses change over time. The measures of street connectivity are easy to implement on a GIS platform to support the evaluation and development of designs and regulatory frameworks that promote walking, whether it be in the interest of public health, in reducing automobile dependence or in supporting vibrant urban communities.
