An assessment of the architectural representation process within the computational design environment
Uçar, Başak; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2006)
With the introduction of a computational design environment, architectural design and representation processes witness a radical transition from the analog to the digital medium, that may be asserted to initiate a paradigm shift affecting both. In this new design environment, extending the instrumentality of computer-aided processes to the generative use of computational tools and procedures, architectural design and representation processes are subject to mutual alterations, challenged with computational d...
An inquiry into the design potentials of Le Corbusier's dom-ino clusters
İskenderoğlu, Yasemin; Gür, Berin Fatma; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2009)
The thesis studies Le Corbusier’s Dom-ino clusters. It is a research in the field of architectural design. The aim is to explore and reveal the architectural potentials of Le Corbusier’s mass-producible Dom-ino frame (1914), not only by concentrating on a single Dom-ino unit but by focusing mainly to the clusters of Dom-ino, searching for the logic behind their multiplication, how they come together and to what extent the units allow variety. To achieve this, six alternative Dom-ino clusters are analyzed, a...
An appraisal of curvilinear forms in architecture with an emphasis on structural behaviour : a case study on channel tunnel railway terminal at Waterloo
Çıngı, Tuba; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2007)
Architectural curvilinear form has been on the scene since the time of the first building shelters. Curve is the most common form in nature. This phenomenon inspired human beings while they are building structures. Curvilinear form has developed over centuries, via structural enhancements and aesthetic tenets. A symbolic meaning is tailored to curvilinear structures such as use of domes in religious buildings. However, the difficulties in the construction process of these forms have been a challenge for peo...
A study on the 'creative act' in architecture through the attitude of M. Ziya Tanalı
Taşkın, Özlem; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2006)
In this thesis, analysis of the creative act in architecture and art is tried to be dwelled upon. The capacities of the 'creative mind'; personality and ethics are the fields that are focused on to elaborate the subjective qualities of the architect. Three aspects are designated in this framework through the literal works of architect M. Ziya Tanalı. Tanalı is a man of profession for the several years. He is not only contributed Turkish architecture with buildings, but also wrote extensively on art and arch...
A study on main architectural and structural design considerations of contemporary supertall buildings
Ilgin, Huseyin Emre; Ay, Bekir Özer; Günel, Mehmet Halis (Informa UK Limited, 2020-04-22)
The design of supertall buildings (300m+) involves many professionals from several disciplines. The need for coordination among numerous experts, increases complexity of the entire process, which is typically conducted under the leadership of the architect, or sometimes the contractor. Consequently, the architects designing supertall buildings must be aware of architectural and structural design considerations and their interrelations. In this paper, the main architectural design considerations and structur...
