Reconsidering architectural program within the framework of conjectures and refutations: the design studies journal
Özten, Ülkü; Özkar, Mine; Department of Architecture (2014)
The discussion of program in the field of history and theory of the Modern Movement in architecture enters a new period in the 1960s and 70s under the influence of the strong embodiment of science and technology in the field of design research. Beginning with this period, the idea of program arises both in a series of generations parallel to a specialized, sophisticated understanding of design and as an autonomous professional area of study. While the concept was being largely developed under the influence ...
An Agentic account of design intentionality in computational architecture
Tüntaş, Duygu; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2018)
This thesis aims at understanding alterations in the conceptualization of design intentionality in relation to technological advances that bring new synthetic configurations to the world of design. The concept of intentionality used to be defined as central to human consciousness hence design intention regarded as exclusive to the human mind. The contemporary technological/ontological condition seems to displace this conceptualization of design intentionality sustained in conventional design processes, to t...
The Transmission of Accumulated Immaterial Senses in Architectural Education
Beşlioğlu, Bahar (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2014-6-1)
Bu yazının amacı, deneysellikte “sezgi” kavramını tartışmak ve bu kavramın mimarlık eğitiminde maddi olmayan duyulara dayalı bilginin öğretilmesine ve öğrenilmesine olan katkılarını araştırmaktır. Öznellik, bire bir mimari deneyimlemenin ve sanal/batıni mekanın deneyimlenmesinin öğretilmesi; ve deneyselliğin ve maddi olmayan duyuların anlaşılması açısından bir kaynak olarak ön plana çıkarılmıştır. Nesnelliği tartışırken, bu yazı Modern Mimarlığın kendini eğitim süreci ile yeniden kurumsallaştırdığı VKhUTEMA...
The dialogue of type and model in architecture
Tunçbaş, Adil; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2006)
The idea of type has always been a crucial factor in the field of architecture. Not only it works as a dominator in the design process of architecture but also it supplies the certain ways through which architecture communicates with the observer. In order to understand the interaction between architecture and the observer the idea of type appears as a critical point. This study will be an attempt to understand the dialogue of type and model in architecture. Throughout the research Anthony Vidler’s article ...
The Ideal Of Handicrafts and the Modern Design Formation: Coincidences and Failures
Tsoumas, Johannis (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2013-12-1)
Bu araştırma günümüzde modern tasarım olarak adlandırılan kavramın el sanatları kavramıyla yakından ilişkisini incelemektedir. Esas amacı, yalnızca kuramsal olarak değil, aynı zamanda karanlık Orta Çağdan günümüze uzanan bir dizi anahtar tarihsel örnekten hareket ederek el sanatlarının, Batı toplumlarında başarıya ulaşan endüstriyel tasarımın temelini oluşturduğunu göstermektir. Bu göz ardı edilemeyecek ilişkinin gelişimindeki önemli dönüm noktası 19. yüzyıl İngiltere’sidir. Çünkü bu dönem Sanayi Devrimi’ni...
