Çakın, Şahap
The study reported here is aimed at gaining an insight into the relationships between the quality of information presented to architects and non-architects on design alternatives, their professional training and the level of agreement in "choice" situations. Beginning with earlier studies on concepts such as judgement and evaluation in design, we shall dwell on background studies related to the quality of information, its complexity and the role of architectural training on preferences.

The Comprehension of Place Awareness in a Historical Context: Metaphors in Architectural Design Education
Özkan Yazgan, Esra; Akalın, Aysu (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-9-25)
This study examines cognitive operations in the design studio - the main component of architectural education - and reviews these operations with regard to a design problem. It also develops an argument for performing an analysis of place awareness in historic context while considering the characteristics of the place where the project will be located and accepting that these characteristics affect the architectural design process. Accordingly, the processes experienced by second-year architecture students ...
A Comparative Evaluation of Two Computer SupportedCollaborative Work Systems for Supporting Collaborative BusinessProcess Modeling Activities
Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit (2018-10-01)
In this study, a comparative evaluation of different Computer-Supported Collaborative Work CSCW environments was conducted to reveal their constraints and affordances for supporting synchronous collaborative business process modeling cBPM activities online. For this purpose, two case studies were carried out with two CSCW systems that differ in terms of their interaction design features for supporting joint work. The dual-eye tracking method was employed to monitor how the participants focused their attenti...
An Immersive Design Environment for Performance-Based Architectural Design: A BIM-based Approach
Akin, Sahin; Ergun, Oguzcan; Sürer, Elif; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2018-01-01)
Design communication is critical for the interaction between digital design models and human cognitive capacities in architectural design. Virtual environments, particularly mixed reality (MR) technologies, can improve spatial cognition, improve the space and effectiveness of space conflicts and support design collaboration [1]. The focus of this study is design processes that incorporate building performance simulations and visualize results to inform the designers of daylighting performance. We present an...
A Review of Frameworks for Analyzing International Construction
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2006-05-06)
Sources of national competitive advantage for international construction have long been discussed by researchers working in the field of construction management. Yet, there is no consensus on a single framework that can be used for analyzing international competitiveness. The aim of this paper is to discuss the applicability of Porter’s diamond framework and its variations to the construction industry and propose an agenda for further research. It is argued that the focus of research should be on interrelat...
An investigation of legal aspects of BIM in construction contracts
Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2019-04-17)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been adopted worldwide in recent years as a novel way of working that enables efficiency in the construction industry. Lately, numerous countries made it compulsory to utilize BIM in public construction projects. Similarly, BIM became a contractual requirement in some public infrastructure and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects in Turkey. However, in order to benefit from the advantages of BIM, some legal concerns such as intellectual property, liability, legal val...
