As the construction industry is one of the dominant contributors to the world’s total CO2 emissions and it has huge negative impacts on the environment, sustainable construction has become a key aspiration in the field. Through utilizing eco-friendly design and resource efficiency, sustainable construction is considered as the main concept to create and operate a healthy built environment. Although sustainability has been demonstrated as a timeless objective for continuous development in Turkey’s governmental policies, the number of qualified professionals in the field and the attributed significance to the notion of sustainability in the Turkish educational context is questionable. Accordingly, this paper concentrates on the Turkish architectural and civil engineering education - two disciplines that are expected to raise experts on the subject – within the scope of sustainable construction. Ten research universities, which are identified by the Higher Education Institute (YÖK), are analyzed in terms of the content of the curriculum and the conducted graduate studies in architecture and civil engineering departments. The main aim of this paper is to reveal the lack of sustainability-related graduate studies and sustainability-related content in the established curriculum of the higher education institutions in Turkey.

Lean project management using unmanned aerial vehicles Ersöz, Ahmet Bahaddin; Pekcan, Onur; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat (null; 2018-11-18) Development of a lean and automated progress tracking system is one of the most challenging subjects in the construction industry. Since the current methods depend on individual and manual inspections of the site, they may have various problems. For instance, results include a natural bias since field personnel makes interpretations depending on their educational and expertise level. From the practical point of view, manual data collection and their comparison with construction drawings and schedules are in...

Kinetic facades for maximizing human comfort and increasing space use efficiency in highly glazed building interiors Ulular, Ilgın Büke; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2022-12-02) Environmental problems are one of the major concerns for the present time, and the building construction sector has a significant impact on the environment. So, existing buildings should be evaluated for efficient use. In public buildings where people can choose seats, efficient space use can decrease because of discomfort. Facades are significant to provide these conditions. Kinetic facades can be considered as an efficient option with their technological systems. In the literature, few studies are related...
Lean design management – an evaluation of waste items for architectural design process Mazlum, Salih Kaan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015) Waste is standing as a major problem in the body of construction industry. Lean thinking in construction accepts any inefficiency as waste which results with more usage of equipment, materials, labor, time or capital in larger quantities than those considered as necessary. Although inefficiency of design stages has been identified as a major factor that reduces the efficiency of construction projects, less attention has been paid on the relationship between lean thinking and architectural design process. Th...
