Controlling and adjusting daylight for museum buildings is critical. The shortage of light in a space runs the risk of loss of vision, while excessive amounts of light causes visual discomfort, and especially in museums, can be destructive for art collections. The aim of this research is the development of a computational design method that supports control and adjustment of daylighting illumination level to satisfy both of the above-mentioned goals while ensuring indirect daylighting within the museum. For this purpose, Optimum Daylight Availability Method (ODAM) is proposed in this research, which aims to assist architects in controlling the interior daylighting more effectively. ODAM is a simulation-based method that is developed to satisfy interior daylighting criteria by supporting the design of dynamic shading devices. This method is integrated with an existing daylighting performance simulation tool that quantifies the daylighting metrics proposed as part of the method. The method is implemented as a parametric model definition and validated through a case study of the design of a museum building in The Hague.

The building performance of the metro station buildings' entrances Aksoy, Gökhan; Erman, Ercüment; Department of Architecture (2003) Station buildings are the most significant components of metro systems that combine underground facilities to the outer world, and include public life in itself. Thus, it is the main objective of that research, to put forward an acknowledgement documentation, which identifies the main design and construction problems of existing and under construction metro station buildings9 entrances, and which comes up with solutions to these problems. In the scope of thesis, foremost, basic terminology about station bui...
From houses to house museums: architectural representation of different narrations Günhan, Aslıhan; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2011) The transformation of historic houses into house museums is not only a current issue within the field of museology, but also a new phenomenon for architecture. The deconstruction of the term “house museum” into “house” and “museum” and the meaning these terms acquire, have the potential to generate a new discussion in architecture. Besides being a physical dwelling unit, “house” will be interpreted as a domestic space where the inhabitants are able to personalize. A museum, on the other hand, will be approa...
A spatial encyclopedia: the architecture of Paul Otlet’s archive Tunçbilek, Gonca Zeynep; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2019) This dissertation is a critical assessment of the museum as a knowledge space. Starting with Paul Otlet’s ‘World City’ as a source of classification of knowledge in the urban framework, this thesis focuses on the hierarchical ‘order’ model on several scales: urban museum, museum, hall, room, cabinet, catalog drawers, and index cards, respectively. The classification of knowledge is the subject of study; Otlet’s ‘Mundaneum’ is the tool of research, and the museum architecture as a classification form is the ...
A continuous path planning approach on Voronoi diagrams for robotics and manufacturing applications Özcan, Melih; Yaman, Ulaş (2019-01-01) Coverage of an area is required for a large variety of robotics and manufacturing applications, such as environment monitoring, home cleaning, search and rescue operations, machining, delivery, additive manufacturing and even for 3D terrain reconstruction. In this work, we present highly flexible algorithms that can be used for coverage and graph traversal. Although our methods take advantage of variable-sized Voronoi cells, by which regular, irregular and complex geometries can be easily composed, it is no...
A study on different dynamic solar shading control strategies using multi criteria design optimization Gürsel Dino, İpek (null; 2016-10-15) The correct design of shading devices that control the amount of daylighting entering a building is an integral part of performative building design. Solar control devices have the potential to reduce building cooling load, improve the daylighting performance and reduce the negative effect of glare in building spaces. Solar shading design strategies, therefore, need to consider multiple criteria together and find an optimal tradeoff between them. This paper presents our experiments on differe...
