Space layout is a complex architectural problem because of the interdependent structure of individual design objects and the vast number solutions even for small sized problems. The question of this research is the usefulness of computerized space layout programs in an actual problem of space layout. This was tested with two existing space layout optimization methods, Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) and Attraction Force Model (AFM) as well as a satisficing method, intuitive approach. The models used for testing computerized space layout approaches were selected because of their capability to handle a space layout of an actual design problem of more than 50 design units of unequal sizes; their basic representations and availability. Necessary inputs for the evaluation processes, the evaluation processes and the resulting space layouts were analyzed for each approach by one designer. Their performance in the design process was criticized and possible improvements were suggested to increase the usefulness of computational space layout approaches in the professional field.

A study on tall buildings and aerodynamic modifications against wind excitation Ilgın, H. Emre; Günel, Mehmet Halis; Department of Architecture (2006) The purpose of this thesis is to create basic design guidance for tall buildings and their aerodynamic modifications as a resource for architects, engineers, developers, and students. It aims to make a contribution to and strengthen particularly the architect̕s understanding of tall building design, that requires a high level of interdisciplinary approach, by providing a broad overview of the أtall buildingؤ with its general concepts; to demonstrate the importance of human element as a critical component in...
Understanding façade between design and manufacturing : a case study on high-rise office buildings in İstanbul Şener, Duygu; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2006) The thesis aims to examine how the formation of façades, that is, the interface with a dual response both to interior functioning and exterior urban fabric, is separated from the totality of architectural design by new technological developments and design intentions. This aim is accomplished in three sections, respectively: “analysis of the façade, the properties and formation process in time”; “examining the façade formation of the high-rise office buildings in Levent-Maslak area in respect to the analysi...
Analysis of the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals Bakht, Nazlı; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2007) This study aims to analyze the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals within architectural media that shape today’s architectural production. This aim is accomplished in three sections; “examining the power of image in architecture”; “examining architectural media” and “examining the periodicals’ attitudes towards using architectural photography”. A case study is done to uncover the relationship between the photograph and the medium that it takes place on and determine ...
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...
Layered simulation architecture: A practical approach Topcu, Okan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2013-03-01) This article presents a practical approach to the design of federate architectures for the simulation developers by applying a well-known architectural style, layered architecture, from a developer's perspective. Adopting layered architecture for an HLA-based simulation (i.e. a federate) provides a clear separation to the following concerns; the user interface (where the user can be a human or an external system such as a GIS server), the simulation logic, and the HLA-specific communication. Thus, layered s...
