Over time, the machines stopped, the labor ceased, and the factory became a silent structure present in form but absent in function. This project proposes the reactivation of the Pa\u015fabah\u00e7e Glass Factory as a site where production, memory, and daily life intersect. Rather than treating the factory as a historical object, the design introduces new functions that respond to both its past and present context. The site now hosts a gastronomy hub that integrates locally produced glassware, modular units for craft workshops, a production line reserved for Pa\u015fabah\u00e7e-branded collections, an innovation center focused on material experimentation, a living archive that documents and extends the site\u2019s memory, a gallery for contemporary exhibitions, housing for workers, and a hotel that provides public access to the experience of the factory. Echoes in Glass not only reflects the sound within the glass, but also echoes the memory, labor, and time that have been lost with it. This project is not about producing glass; it is about remembering the past through it, hearing the city, and touching the space without physically touching it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ece Usub\u00fct\u00fcn<br><strong>Studio: <\/strong>ARCH 402 Spring 2025<strong><br>Instructor(s):<\/strong> Ezgi \u0130\u015fbilen, Yi\u011fit Acar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-category wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?cat=232\" rel=\"tag\">2025<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?cat=19\" rel=\"tag\">ARCH402<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?cat=11\" rel=\"tag\">Studio Works<\/a><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?tag=402_2025\" rel=\"tag\">402_2025<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"12756\" height=\"12756\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/post1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8864\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"12756\" height=\"12756\" data-id=\"8863\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/post2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8863\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"12756\" height=\"12756\" data-id=\"8865\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/post3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8865\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"12756\" height=\"12756\" data-id=\"8866\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/post4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8866\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"12756\" height=\"12756\" data-id=\"8868\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/post5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8868\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was once a place where fire met sand, where craftsmen shaped liquid light into form, and where production rhythms resonated along the Bosphorus.
