Re-thinking historiography on Ottoman mosque architecture: nineteenth century provincial sultan mosques
Katipoğlu Özmen, Ceren; Erzen, Jale Adile; Department of Architecture (2014)
The main objective of this dissertation is to propose an alternative historiography on the 19th century Ottoman mosque architecture, free from the biased Eurocentric paradigms, by means of including the ‘unseen’ actors of this history, namely the disregarded provincial mosques. Provincial mosques constituting the case studies of the dissertation, point out to a previously neglected part of historiography by changing the emphasis from the capital to the provinces. Within the scope of this dissertation the fo...
Acoustical characteristics of historical Turkish Baths
Aydın, Asuman; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Department of Architecture (2008)
Comprehensive studies are needed to better understand the original acoustical features of historical baths in order to uncover the historical technologies that enabled the acoustical performance for which they are renowned and to ensure they retain this performance with time. In this study, acoustic performances of Şengül Hamamı and Kadı Hamamı, two 15th century historical baths belonging to the Ottoman period, were examined to discover their original acoustical features and to assess their present situatio...
Acoustical analysis of multipurpose hall NY computer simulation method: METU Northern Cyprus Campus Auditorium (NCCA) as a case study
Yılmaz, Tansu; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2005)
In this study, impulse response of a multipurpose hall, namely METU Northern Cyprus Campus Auditorium (NCCA) is analyzed and the acoustical quality of the auditorium is evaluated. Suggestions to increase the acoustical satisfaction has been made and to overcome the probability of bass-rise caused by the noise of HVAC systems, a proposal has been made to control low frequency sounds by introducing the volume resonators for the specified frequency. For the study, Odeon, which is used effectively in computer b...
Spatial information systems for conservation of historic buildings case study : Doğanlar Church İzmir
Günay, Serkan; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2007)
Conservation of historic buildings requires comprehensive and correct information of buildings to be analyzed in conservation decision making process in a systematic and rational approach. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are advantageous in such cases which can be defined as computer based systems for handling geographical and spatial data. GIS have the potential to support the conservation decision making process with their storing, analyzing and monitoring capabilities. Therefore, information syste...
Presentation of classical archaeological sites in virtual environment case study: sagalassos
Başağaç, Özge; Gökce, Fuat; Department of Architecture (2005)
Parallel to the growing concern for the protection and presentation of archaeological sites, virtual environments (VE) are in use for visualization purposes since mid 1980̕s. This thesis investigates the potentials and problems of presenting a classical archaeological site in VE from the viewpoint of conservation science, to ensure the welfare of the remains. The study is handled in two sections as a conceptual part and a case study. The conceptual part, first dwells upon the history, aim and techniques of ...
