In relation: re-assessing responsiveness through human-machine interaction

Erdinç, Melda
Advances in cybernetics, material research and network technologies affected the volume and the interpretation of human involvement in responsive architecture. The study scrutinizes the notion of responsiveness and its reflection(s) on/in the field of architecture. In this respect, it aims to investigate the role of the human in responsive bodies and seeks to redefine the boundaries of the participants through human-machine interaction in a responsive manner. The thesis offers a reassessment of the in-relation state between the human and the machine and investigates its re-problematization by responsive bodies. Dissolved boundaries between the components of the body are examined in light of ontological and philosophical machine debates. The effects of adopting machinic approaches in the definition of responsive bodies are examined with selected case studies from various contexts, and the dissolution of limitations between the human and the machine/non-human are questioned in line with these transformations.

Uçar Kırmızıgül, Başak; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2011)
Advances in communication and information technologies, as well as recent developments in computer technology, material research and sensor networks instigate the studies on active and dynamic environments, which call for the participation of the human and the machine in the definition of responsiveness in architecture. The thesis aims to provide for an ontological inquiry on responsiveness and responsive environments by undertaking an overview of the extensive interest in the responsive experience in archi...
An Immersive Design Environment for Performance-Based Architectural Design: A BIM-based Approach
Akin, Sahin; Ergun, Oguzcan; Sürer, Elif; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2018-01-01)
Design communication is critical for the interaction between digital design models and human cognitive capacities in architectural design. Virtual environments, particularly mixed reality (MR) technologies, can improve spatial cognition, improve the space and effectiveness of space conflicts and support design collaboration [1]. The focus of this study is design processes that incorporate building performance simulations and visualize results to inform the designers of daylighting performance. We present an...
Wireless networking in tunnelling projects
Nielsen, Yasemin; Koseoglu, Ozan (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-01)
Emerging collaborative technologies and working methods often require tremendous engineering and organisational efforts for successful implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs). According to a research conducted in Turkish construction industry, most of the problems that occur during the construction phase are due to lack of co-operation and communication between designers and contractors and lack of prompt expert decisions during on-site engineering. Similar to any major construct...
Leveraging MOOCs with personalization and adaptation
Çelik, İlknur; Gürbüz, Tarkan (null; 2014-05-01)
The advancements in technology are accelerating the development and diffusion of new innovative e-learning solutions. The e-learning industry is growing and offering new opportunities for both formal and informal learning. Open Educational Resources (OER) movement has gained considerable attention recently as an attempt to provide digital materials that can be used, and repurposed for teaching and learning. OER are becoming very popular learning materials including full courses, textbooks, modules, syllabi,...
Management of Service Function Chains in Programmable Data Plane
Yürekten, Özgür (2021-07-19)
The rapid development of information technologies necessitates the use of high-speed network technologies. Software defined networking and network function virtualization are critical technologies for high-bandwidth, dynamically managed and cost-effective networks. Offloading network functions to the data plane and management of network service function chain (SFC) using data plane programming improve network performance. In this study, the framework that enables the management of service function chains fr...
