The means of architectural production varies in terms of knowledge generation; however, the intellect product of the architectural domain is mainly written. The written mediums that are dedicated to architectural theories, discussions, research and agendas differ from articles, books, theses, etc., and these textual data increase exponentially by ever year. Thus, conventional qualitative data analysis became incapable to catch the pace of researching these texts and their corresponding knowledge. Therefore, novel methods such as textual data analysis emerged to index or extract useful information from texts. This study will focus on the architectural research conducted under Master of Architecture degrees in Turkey and aims to extract knowledge from the national electronic thesis database through text mining methods to develop a data-driven statistical model. This model will be the basis for the critical reading of the research agendas, their trends and the research characteristics of universities. Besides the analysis, the systematic approach that will be developed during this study is aimed to be a reproducible and scalable method for future studies.

An inquiry on the limits of multidisciplinary collaboration in design :architectural competition Erdem, Günay; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Architecture (2005) Architecture both as a field of knowledge and profession had always been an outcome of multidisciplinary collaboration. The limits of this collaboration are directly effective on both the method of design and the end product itself. In contemporary modern architecture, this interaction between architecture and other disciplines reached to an altered mode where design strategies became open to transformations and the traditional understanding of design replaced with alternative approaches. This thesis aims t...
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...
An Assessment on Integrity of Craft and Architecture in Historical Buildings and Its Sustainability in Contemporary Designs KARAKUL TÜRK, ÖZLEM; Bakırer, Ömür (2018-01-01) In the 20th century, following the period of Industrialization, the development of new building technologies brought new discussions that focused on "standardization and uniformization" in architecture as in all other disciplines. Standardization in architecture has some results such as; by breaking the relationship of architecture with its local context, culture, craft and art, and introducing a standardization in architecture has created a new understanding about buildings. This understanding of buildings...
A study on main architectural and structural design considerations of contemporary supertall buildings Ilgin, Huseyin Emre; Ay, Bekir Özer; Günel, Mehmet Halis (Informa UK Limited, 2020-04-22) The design of supertall buildings (300m+) involves many professionals from several disciplines. The need for coordination among numerous experts, increases complexity of the entire process, which is typically conducted under the leadership of the architect, or sometimes the contractor. Consequently, the architects designing supertall buildings must be aware of architectural and structural design considerations and their interrelations. In this paper, the main architectural design considerations and structur...
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...
