Architectural design is not just a technical process based on problem-solving and representation, but also a social process distributed between architect and non-architect stakeholders. In this study, visual behaviour differences between architects and non-architects during perception, interpretation and evaluation of architectural drawings are analysed. An eye tacking experiment was conducted on two groups of participants: 19 graduate level students of the Department of Architecture and 19 students from other faculties. Eye tracking data were analysed according to three categories: means of gaze duration, gaze count and gaze plot patterns. The results show that architecture and non-architecture students exhibit different cognitive processes. The duration, count and inordinateness of gaze patterns of architect subjects are lower than those of non-architect subjects. Clarifying such cognitive differences is critical for further development of methods and tools supporting communication between professional and non-professional design parties and especially empowering non-professional parties.

Perceived values of web based collective design platforms from the perspective of industrial designers in reference to Quirky and OpenIDEO
Hajiamiri, Milad; Korkut, Fatma (2015-03-01)
Web-based collective design platforms are virtual environments which highly rely on large-scale participation of people from diverse backgrounds in different phases of the design process. Understanding and motivating participants is important to enhance the diversity of solutions and approaches in such platforms. This study investigates the motivation factors for the designer members of the crowd, and explores the perceived values of these platforms from the perspective of industrial designers. An empirical...
Verifying the interface compliance of federates using pre- and postconditions of RTI services
Kizilay, Vijdan; Oguztüzün, Halit; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Buzluca, Feza (null; 2009-12-01)
The Federation Architecture Metamodel (FAMM) provides a domain specific language for describing the architecture of a High Level Architecture (HLA) compliant federation. A federation architecture model (FAM) consists of the object models and the behavioral models of participating federates. The communication behavior of each federate is to be modeled in the same level of detail as the HLA Federate Interface Specification so as to facilitate standard-compliant code generation. However, this level of detail i...
Layered simulation architecture: A practical approach
Topcu, Okan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2013-03-01)
This article presents a practical approach to the design of federate architectures for the simulation developers by applying a well-known architectural style, layered architecture, from a developer's perspective. Adopting layered architecture for an HLA-based simulation (i.e. a federate) provides a clear separation to the following concerns; the user interface (where the user can be a human or an external system such as a GIS server), the simulation logic, and the HLA-specific communication. Thus, layered s...
Compliance of Standard Forms of Construction Contracts and Protocols with BIM-Adopted Construction Sector in USA and UK
Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Tanyer, Ali Murat (null; 2018-11-16)
Due to the changes in the requirements of the clients and the inclusion of various specialized participants having conflicting priorities, architectural design project processes have had to be transformed. This transformation to a complex project environment, has required new advanced project management models inevitably, those of which also introducing new delivery and communication methodologies to support this synchronized project schedules. Although there have been many different models borrowed from di...
Artificial intelligence applications in earthquake resistant architectural design: Determination of irregular structural systems with deep learning and ImageAI method
Bingol, Kaan; Akan, Asli Er; ÖRMECİOĞLU, HİLAL TUĞBA; ER, ARZU (Journal of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Gazi University, 2020-01-01)
Although the architectural design process is carried out with the collaboration of experts who are experienced in many different areas from the main preferences to the detailing stage, the major decisions such as plan organization, mass design etc. are taken by the architect. Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs are generally effective after the major decisions of the design are taken. For this reason, it is common for the main decisions, taken during the design process, to be changed during the analysis of...
