Architectural competitions and post-competition problems in Turkey after 2000
Baykan, Umut; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2015)
Architectural competition is a method of procuring the best possible design among a number of entries for a specific site. Deficiencies in the execution of the competition process may result in implementation problems in the winning entry; forcing it to undergo transformations that deprive it from its defining characteristics or not materialize. This has been an issue of debate in the contemporary Turkish architectural scene with the poor results obtained affecting usage frequency of competitions. The study...
Model making as a value-added tool in public, educational and professional domains
Hadia, Hatem Ahmed Ali; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015)
Models are one of the oldest mediums used for creating, communicating and representing ideas throughout the ages, whether these ideas are based on dogmatic, intellectual, ideological, or architectural thought (belief). Whatever their purpose, models, embody a value that reflects their worth to their makers/owners; but this value is not easy to quantify as it may be based on implicit considerations that are difficult to define and measure. On the other hand, it is possible to add measurable value to human en...
Complexity management and mutability in architectural form conception: form-blindness and softform
Kızılcan, Egemen Berker; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2015)
Expressions in architecture, as modes of conveying information, have the power to shape perception and thinking, as well as architectural production. Architectural conception is today induced by custom information models with the advent of technologies and methodologies associated with the computational paradigm and therefore are capable of inhabiting complex orders that arise from a multiplicity of concerns. Architecture is no longer constituted by the fixity of a single instance of form, instead possibili...
Intelligent design objects applied to the spatial allocation problem
Zaratiegui Fernandez, Javier Ignacio; Sorguç, Arzu; Computational Design and Fabrication Technologies in Department of Architecture (2014)
This thesis approaches the spatial allocation problem as a multi-objective optimization problem. It proposes the use of Intelligent Design Objects (IDO) model to help designers with this task. Solutions are generated and evaluated, according the user defined criteria. Iterative improvement is proposed as a help to visualize candidate solutions and conceive the desired spatial relations. By defining the criteria and rating it numerically, both designer and client are able compare the solutions obtained. The ...
Architecture as an urban and social sign : understanding the nature of urban transformation in Eskişehir highway, Ankara
Bonjaku Gökdemir, Ornela; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2009)
The buildings of a city such as shopping malls, plazas, world trade centers, hotels or even residential complexes are not only alternative urban building typologies but they represent power in social, economical, political and even religious terms. In this sense buildings should not be seen as specific design and research areas limited with single building scale but rather should be seen as urban statements in city scale. However the eclectic existence of these buildings in urban fabric causes a series of u...
