This research is an inquiry on the roles undertaken by architects in the complex process of designing and realizing buildings. It focuses on the changing AEC context in Turkey and interprets these changes from the scope of Building Information Modeling (BIM), which claims the instrumentalization of a new mode of production of buildings. Reading BIM as a reflection of the increasing demands of AEC context on the architects’ modes of operation, the thesis evaluates how the changing mode of production of buildings affects the roles of the profession of architecture.

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...
Exhibitions as the medium of architectural reproduction "modern architecture: international exhibition" Tabibi, Baharak; Gür, Berin Fatma; Department of Architecture (2005) This thesis studies the influential role of architectural exhibitions in shaping and directing architectural discourses. The study accepts architectural exhibitions and associated publications as the أcritical actؤ of architecture, in which (the work of) architecture is interpreted, reproduced and publicized. The main focus of this thesis is أModern Architecture: International Exhibition,ؤ held in 1932 at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). This particular exhibition is a significant historical event, which of...
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 ...
Reconceptualizing the architectural precedent: textual models of reading Beşeli Özkoç, Heves; Gür, Berin Fatma; Department of Architecture (2015) The aim of this thesis is to reconceptualize the “architectural precedent” in a way to reveal its potentials as an instrument for architectural design and education. The main concern is to use the architectural precedent as a source of knowledge and form generation, but not as a model for functional problem solving. In order to generate new knowledge and form, the precedent should be read textually rather than formally. While formal reading reveals existing knowledge underlying the precedent, textual readin...
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...
