Anthropocene is the present geological epoch in which human-built infrastructures dominate the resources of the world and highest levels of human intrusion to the ecosystems have been accumulated since the Industrial Revolution. Utilisation of the steam engine initiated change in energy sources and extraction of raw materials that altered the existent means of production and led to the hegemony of industrial activities. The spread and growth of industry prevailed onto the practice of architecture to construct rapidly developing bases of production, storage, and distribution. Therefrom, physical embodiments of these bases as an overall system enable to relate energy, labour, and technology as fundamental elements of industry with the discourse of architecture. Hence, this thesis studies three determined architectural typologies -mills, daylight factories, machine landscapes- for the evolution of production by a historical literature survey and comparative analysis of multiple cases with the compiled architectural documentation including photographs, drawings, and diagrams. Chronologically organised cases from different industrial periods reflect the altering nature of energy, labour, and technology regarding means of production, construction techniques, and materials. Acting as design parameters through the spatial transformation from mills to daylight factories, and now to machine landscapes, these relations indicate the interdependency between architecture and industry, and allow to formulate further spatial entities for production.

An Assessment of energy efficient and climate sensitive urban design principles: design proposals for residential city blocks in temperate arid and hot humid regions
Karagöz, Damla; Balaban, Osman; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016)
Environmental problems caused by urbanization and industrialization processes have almost irreversibly damaged the ecological balance in the natural environment. In the 21st century, when half of the worlds population has become urban, the links between urbanization and environmental problems gained more attention and the search for measures and solutions to address the negative impacts of urban development on natural environment increased. Global warming and climate change, the major challenges that contem...
An Approach for improving energy efficiency in a commercial building with learning consideration and availability constraints
Çiçek, Cihan Tuğrul; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Operational Research (2014)
Energy efficiency applications are increasingly becoming more popular as available natural resources such as natural gas and fossils have been running out. In this study, we address the scheduling problem of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a commercial building with a supporting automation system that controls the energy resources so as to increase energy efficiency. We formulate the problem as a multilevel generalized assignment model to obtain the schedule for the HVAC syste...
Sustainability of high-rise buildings : energy consumption by service core configuration
Güryay, İlkay; Günel, Mehmet Halis; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2012)
The concept of 'sustainability' came into question during the last few decades world-wide. As one of the main source of carbon emission, construction industry is also affected by this movement. High-rise buildings which became proliferative components of construction industry dominate today's urban centers. Although they are defended as being inherently energy efficient by some people, specially designed sustainable high-rise building examples emerged after the sustainability movement all over the world. Th...
A BIM-based building circularity framework: assessment and visualization through 5R strategies
Yüksel, Pınar Ece; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-26)
Principles of the circular economy are applied to improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The purpose of this thesis is to create a BIM-based framework for building circularity assessment (BCA) that enables an analysis of R strategies such as Reusing, Recycling and Rethinking with graphically aided data representation and supports decision-making starting from the early stages to end of life. To learn more about building circularity indicators and assessment approaches, a literature rev...
The Role and approach of local authorities in the field of 'conservation' : case study in Hamamönü / Ankara
Sudan, Azize Elif; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012)
From the middle of 20th century, as a result of devastating effects of world wars conservation activities intensified on the protection in area scale. Together with central government and local authorities, the owner or the user of the building, entrepreneurs, groups, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and society were meant to be included in the process. Today, local authorities play important role in the implementation of the restoration or street rehabilitation projects. Today in Turkey, municipalitie...
