With the developments of technology in architecture, architectural presentation techniques have been developed rapidly. Recently, there has been a tendency to shift from photographic presentation to animated and storytelling ones since these presentation methods give opportunity for more effective transfer of technical information. Moreover, architectural animation can be used as an effective tool to understand the development process of materialization and tectonics of architectural works. With the addition of interaction to cinematographic explanations, this presentation technique might evolve to be a helpful gaming platform for architecture and construction related people from any level of interest. This method offers more interactive discoveries instead of passive learning techniques, so users might explore different problems and solutions using virtual environments to have beforehand experience on design tasks. This study aims to create a methodological framework for a 4D animation supported cinematic gaming platform to enrich architectural presentations in a virtual environment and objectify the materialization process of the tectonics of a building. By the help of interaction, time and motion factors, this method will act like a storyteller of architecture. As a methodology of the thesis, Hüsrev Paşa Mosque designed by Mimar Sinan will be studied as a case study to examine the capability of this method to disclose the tectonic properties of the selected building. It can be claimed that this method may contribute not only to architectural practice and presentation but also education of architecture by increasing awareness about tectonics and construction methods as well as historical knowledge about architectural works.

Performative design thinking in architectural practice Ataman, Cem; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2018) During the last decades, the increasing need to ensure building performance during architectural design practices has led to highly interactive relations between architecture and various other disciplines, in which performance concepts are tightly integrated into the building design process. Computational tools supporting performative architectural design processes make this interdisciplinary integration possible. The critical consequence of the early consideration of performative principles and the collabo...
The architectural precedent and the diagram: a comparative analysis of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye and Rem Koolhaas' Maison a Bordeaux Küçük, Alper; İmamoğlu, Vacit; Department of Architecture (2007) The last decade of the 20th century witnessed a revival of interest in the idea of diagrams in many disciplines, including architecture. Thus, terms like 'diagram architecture' and 'diagrammatic practice' have started to dominate the architectural discourse, both in theory and practice. Although much of the contemporary work examined under the rubric 'diagram architecture' celebrate diagram's capacity to generate new ideas and forms and embrace the diagram as a tool to revolt against the authority of establ...
A Conceptual model proposal of dynamic architecture with dynamic internal walls as interaction interface Gür, Elif Nadide; Baykan, Ahmet Can; Department of Architecture (2018) Dynamic Architecture first appeared in 20th century in the field of architecture and have been seen under various names over time such as Transformable Architecture, Responsive Architecture, Adaptive Architecture, Intelligent Architecture and so on. Each of them are specialized on their abilities of responsiveness, transformation and intelligence in accordance with the economic, functional and energy requirements. The reason why Dynamic Architecture is developing fast is that it the follows the latest impro...
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...
Fundamentals of architectural design comparison to filmmaking Çetin, Hasan Okan; Aytaç Dural, Tuğyan; Department of Architecture (2006) The relation between architecture and cinema has begun with the first steps of the technology of moving images at the beginning of the 20th century and it has continued progressively until now by importing various intellectual, representational, and practical devices from each other in order to reconfigure their own systems of knowledge. In this investigation, the fundamental elements of architectural design and principles of their organization are used in the field of cinema as a methodological tool to ana...
