Ertuğrul, Elçin
This study is an inquiry into the phenomenon of ءarchitectural scenario̕ generally understood as architect̕s temporal projections about his/her real product: the edifice. The means of architectural representation are utilized to display the architect̕s projections in advance of the realization of an edifice. They can also be considered as tangible products to reveal the ءarchitectural scenario̕. The aim of this study is to examine verbal/written and visual modes of ءarchitectural scenario̕ through a historical survey and to uncover its various definitions and interpretations. While elaborating on this issue cinema/filmmaking is used as a paradigm for comprehending the architectural scenario as the process of image construction. ءArchitectural scenario̕ is explored in the frame of architectural representation. This thesis is a reconsideration of the architectural production in terms of conceptualizing ءAS̕, which is inherently valid in the form making processes.

An Agentic account of design intentionality in computational architecture
Tüntaş, Duygu; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2018)
This thesis aims at understanding alterations in the conceptualization of design intentionality in relation to technological advances that bring new synthetic configurations to the world of design. The concept of intentionality used to be defined as central to human consciousness hence design intention regarded as exclusive to the human mind. The contemporary technological/ontological condition seems to displace this conceptualization of design intentionality sustained in conventional design processes, to t...
An Interactive computational design approach for creating architectural topographiesi
Ongun, Gökhan; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2013)
The research aims at developing a digital environment for understanding and analyzing natural forces and designing according to the simultaneous feedback given by omputational tools. The thesis is an investigation into the concept of interactivity between the designer and computer through the use of computational fluid dynamic tools in a local context of Eastern Netherlands Coast, in response to the already dynamic natural fluid like elements such as air, coastal currents and sand particles. The behavior of...
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...
Analyses of factors affecting acceptance of homecare technologies by patients with chronic diseases
Kutlay, Ayşegül; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Medical Informatics (2012)
In this study, the factors affecting the acceptance of mobile homecare system were examined. These factors were assessed by taking Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical model. The main feature of this thesis (differing from the other studies in the literature) is that the user acceptance study model is analyzed on a system that is not realized yet. So, this study has two dfferent perspectives. The first one is the examination the results of UTAUT for a system in the des...
Two evolutionary models for reconceptualizing architectural ideas and the architectural design process
Anay, Hakan; Aközer, Emel; Department of Architecture (2008)
This study puts forward two complementary evolutionary models and explores the potential of the proposed models and the related theses by employing two case studies. The theoretical/conceptual framework of the study refers to architectural theory, design research, and evolutionary epistemology. The study mainly involves application of some key ideas from evolutionary epistemology, Popper’s three-world ontology, and the theory of evolution to the field of architecture. The first model is about the nature of ...
