Extended realities introduced distinctive operations and concepts such as embodiment and collocation, which can change the way architectural places are produced. The heterotopia concept defines “worlds within worlds” which is a juxtaposition of unique elements, creating novel layers, relations, and meanings. This myriad approach can be extended to provide spatial relations for several activities, which can be altered through embodiment. In this thesis, based on the heterotopia concept, a virtual museum framework for Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, and personal computer environments to provide a multi-layered experience for users from various backgrounds was created. The framework provides a platform where users can perform archiving, curating, displaying, and designing practices. Users can create individual virtual museums as discursive datascapes by being able to store data in different formats and transform and analyze their content. Through various procedural content generation algorithms, the developed platform allows automation for architectural design processes as well as for archiving and exhibiting. This thesis presents a comparative evaluation of the framework in terms of usability, technology acceptance, and presence based on the results of the user study, where the versions of the framework were tested by 30 participants. The outcomes of the study are discussed both through the heterotopia concept and the analyses of results that highlight the capacity of the developed framework to offer a much wider range of uses and the flexibility of being integrated into daily life practices.

Virtual museums: a new space for architectural documentation and display Tekin, Damla; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2017) The practice of museology has a broad discourse based upon ideological, sociological, technological and architectural disciplines. This thesis will only cover two of these disciplines, architecture and technology, while analysing the museum environment as it is believed that museums are one of the most independent architectural spaces in both design and narration. Today, the field of virtual museums becomes very dynamic due to technological innovations and it offers different conceptual ideas for architectu...
Motivators and barriers in the development of online communities of practice Baran, Bahar; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2010) Problem Durumu: Eğitim alanında yıllardan beri devam eden temel tartışmalardan birisi, öğrenmenin nasıl gerçekleştiği ile ilgilidir. “Uygulama Topluluğu” yaklaşımı, bu tartışmaya farklı bir bakış açısı getirmiştir. Bu yaklaşım, yetişkin insanları sosyal varlıklar olarak kabul eder ve öğrenmenin gerçekleşebilmesi için, onların sosyal etkileşim ortamlarında, aktif olarak bulunmaları gerektiğini savunur. Bilim insanları, öğretmenlerin “öğretmeyi öğrenme” sürecinde elde etmeleri gereken pratik bilgiyi kazanmala...
Exploring the potential of mat-building for the creation of universally designed environments Eren, Yasemin; Aközer, Emel; Department of Architecture (2004) The goal of this study is to reread the strategies of formal organization in architecture, which are called أmat-buildingؤ and أmat-urbanismؤ, exploring their potential to contribute to the creation of universally designed built environments in the 21st century. The idea of mat-building was first delineated by Alison Smithson in 1974, in her article أHow to Recognize and Read Mat-Building,ؤ by means of its traditional and modern examples. The concept of universal design was first used in 1970̕s and reinterp...
Zaman ve Mekân Kavramları Arasındaki Paradoksal İlişkinin “Bulut Atlası” Filmi Üzerinden Okunması Erdoğan, Ebru; Yıldız, Zeynep (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2018-1-19) Mimarlık ve sinema arasında, zaman ve mekân tasarlama ortaklığı ile bir etkileşim bulunmaktadır. Bu etkileşimin en yoğun olduğu tür olan bilim-kurgu, mimarlığın zaman ve mekân yaratma süreciyle benzer kaygılar taşımaktadır. Mimarlık ve bilim-kurgu sineması arasındaki bu etkileşimi örneklemek amacıyla, farklı zaman ve mekân yaklaşımları (bağımsız altı farklı kurgusu), alternatif kurgu teknikleri ve postmodern film niteliğiyle çok yönlü perspektifler kazandırarak öne çıkan, günümüz sineması örneklerinden olan...
Multiverse of a Form Snowflake to Shelder Sorguç, Arzu; Yemişcoğlu, Müge Kruşa; Özgenel, Çağlar Fırat (2018-01-01) The almost seamless integration of computation, fabrication and immersion technologies in architecture not only constitutes potentials for exploring design instances through multiple media but also changes design paradigm from form-formation to form-formation-exploration. In this sense, multiverse of design as proposed in this study and integration of various design technologies from virtual to real aims to advance higher order thinking skills and a more exclusive design exploration in computational design ...
