The negative impact of the building industry has brought a critical emphasis on the performance-related tools and processes of architectural design. The integration of design and performance simulation has the potential to extend the decision-making capabilities of the architects. Amongst a number of performance parameters, wind-related measures are generally problematic for the design phase, due to the computational cost of predicting wind behaviour, the complexity of the urban context and the constantly changing airflow patterns. In this respect, this paper proposes the preliminary exploration of a design method towards integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) coupled with energy modelling and parametric design tools for the wind-related design acts. As building performance is regarded as a design problem that necessitates a designerly point of view as much as a technical perspective, the method aims at providing visual, generative and accurate feedback regarding its potential to facilitate the architect's designerly integration to the process and to provide a flexible design environment. The preliminary quantitative analysis conducted through a case study indicates the preliminary data flow through the design process.

AN INTEGRATED COMPUTATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR NATURAL VENTILATION AND AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT DISPERSION ANALYSIS IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Abbas, Günsu Merin; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2021-10-8) Over the last four decades, the negative impact of the building industry and the growing environmental crisis have led architects to develop sustainable design strategies for a better-performing built environment. Building performance tools, which are commonly used at the end of the design process, are not integrated into the design synthesis. Therefore, there is no integration between the performance parameters. In the literature, there are many studies focusing on the seamless integration of energy and da...
A Mixed linear integer model for military facility layout optimization problem Ece, Hüseyin Bahadır; Sönmez, Rifat; Atan, S. Tankut; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The positioning and layout of facilities on a construction site has a significant impact on productivity, costs, and duration of construction projects. The main objective of general construction site layout planning problem is to arrange the temporary facilities such as office buildings, residences, and warehouse in such a way that the construction activities can be performed with minimal costs. The military facility layout planning problem which considers layout of military facilities is similar to the con...
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...
A comparative structural and architectural analysis of earthquake resistant design principles applied in reinforced concrete residential buildings in Turkey Özmen, Cengiz; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008) The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that it is possible to design earthquake resistant residential structures without significant compromises in the spatial quality and economic viability of the building. The specific type of structural system that this thesis focuses on is the reinforced concrete skeleton system. The parametric examples and key studies that are used in this research are chosen among applied projects in the city of Bolu. This city is chosen due to its location on the North Anatolian Fa...
A Method for performance based design exploration : generating external shading units for an office building in Nicosia, Cyprus Burak, Ercan; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2013) Performance based design exploration has been practiced in architectural design for more than four decades. It has been within the scope of the expertise of technical and engineering professionals until now, and has become widely accessible to the architect within the last decade Latest advances in the computational and parametric tools and user interface enhancements in the simulation software has rendered possible the active involvement of the architect into the process. Every design process needs a custo...
