With the developments in technology, mass data, new approaches/tools, and the increasing inclusion of machine learning applications, the necessity to teach these concepts and their applications have emerged in all research areas including architecture. In this context, a new course named “machine learning applications in architecture” containing lectures on data, data literacy, patterns, and various kinds of models along with a project conducted by the students was developed and started to be taught in spring’2020. Conducting a class on relatively new subjects for students was a great challenge. Yet, with a well-defined problem-based learning approach, the adaptation of students to the subject took place immediately. It is important to note that as students are equipped with information on machine learning concepts and applications with the given lectures, they were free to choose the project topics of their own which is believed to be one of the reasons for the success of the end results. As a result of this class, the project topics varied widely as coloring a given painting, predicting the era of a building, interpreting 2d drawings for 3d modeling, optimizing daylight gain, analyzing distinctive features of data in a city, and visualizing data to represent various aspects in data. The outcomes of the class are documented and analyzed to show how information in different fields such as computer science, engineering, statistics, and so on can broaden their thinking of how to attack problems in the architectural design domain. Finally, topics such as data, data literacy, pattern recognition, and intelligent models are projected to play a key role in the future of design education since it provides an interdisciplinary ground to think about problems at hand from a distinct perspective.

Repurposing Online Videos for Exploratory Design Research Eren, Gizem Hediye; Korkut, Fatma (2019-11-20) This paper presents the development of a generative toolkit which utilizes user-generated online videos (UGVs) as found data and repurposes them for exploratory design research and idea generation. The toolkit aims at supporting design students to browse, select and analyse UGVs for generating design insights and ideas for unfamiliar problem domains and hard-to-access user groups. The toolkit development process started with a retrospective analysis of a selection of industrial design studio projects follow...
Deep learning approach for laboratory mice grimace scaling Eral, Mustafa; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Deep learning is extremely attractive research topic in pattern recognition and machine learning areas. Applications in speech recognition, natural language processing, and machine vision fields gained huge acceleration in performance by employing deep learning. In this thesis, deep learning is used for medical purposes in order to scale pain degree of drug stimulated mice by examining facial grimace. For this purpose each frame in the videos in the training set were scaled manually by experts according to ...
Repositioning moving image in computational design education Kavakoğlu Akçay, Ayşegül; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Architecture (2015) The boundaries between science, art and design have begun to disappear with the developments in computational technologies particularly in the 21st century. Along with this convergence via computational technologies, architecture and design adapt new design tools and methods, which affected the design process at the first glance. The circumstances of these adaptations influenced both theory and praxis in architecture and design by resulting in paradigmatic shifts in which the meaning of design tools evolved...
The Effects of Mathematics on Programming Skills and its Retention: An Experimental Study Altın, Rukiye; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba; Delialioğlu, Ömer (2021-10-01) The focus on Computer Science Education at the K-12 level has been increasingly highlighted due to today’s need for a populace with computational thinking skills, in addition to the expansion of careers related to computing and computer science. Programming helps facilitate students’ examination of the nature of a problem and helps students to increase their computational thinking, problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills through the combination of multiple disciplines in areas such as science, the ...
New Construction Methods and Hybrid Tectonics: Robotics in Architecture Bostancı Sabur, Hafize Büşra (null; 2017-05-08) The development of computational design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) tools and technologies in the 21st century have encouraged architects, engineers and all related stakeholders to integrate the new computational tools and high level automation technologies to solve the problems in design and construction. Today, cutting edge technologies and innovative materials enable architects to follow a new process -designing the design processto optimize the conventional way of "design and fabrication". Similarly com...
