Architecture is influenced by developing technologies as well as by political, social, and economic practices. In this context, the scope of architectural service also evolves. Accordingly, different studies are carried out on the execution of the design process with different methodologies. In the building design process, various models are proposed and discussed, in which the role of the architect is questioned. In this context, this research includes a series of model suggestions aimed at making the architectural design process more efficient by redefining the role of the architect. The primary motivation in the research process, is that the role of an architect can be described as not a final artefact designer, but rather as an actor who designs different stages within a specific system, defines the design boundaries, their potentials, and designs the system that will create a limited design set. Accordingly, in the research context, a series of exploration and discourses on today's changing architectural practice will be presented, and explanations will be given on how expectations from architectural design have changed. Subsequently, different models developed in this study will be presented, tested and evaluated for the design process. The first model is based on parameterizing a structure with all its elements and defining its constraints. The second model is a system developed with generative algorithms aiming to produce generic solutions regarding the feedback coming from the first model. Discussions on the design and solution sets are carried out on this model. On the other hand, the last model is a system built upon the experience of the first two models. Design limits and expectations are defined within the system with stored building components, and with operational research methodologies, it is tried to make the design process more efficient. In conclusion, the proposed models will be compared, and their potentials will be discussed. The effects of the proposed models on the design process to make the building design process more efficient will be examined, and ideas on how the architectural practice can be shaped in the future will be discussed.

Rethinking the architectural design process through its computable body of knowledge
Ergun, Eser; Özkar, Mine; Department of Architecture (2008)
This thesis assumes the architectural design process as a systematic study, in which knowledge is stored, organized and operated on by computational methods. From this perspective, the study explores the efforts for systemizing the architectural design process. Firstly, the focus is on the early approaches of systemizing design in the Design Methods Movement. The thesis identifies and evaluates the use of a number of critical concepts in this movement and in recent architecture practice, in order to see the...
Framing the invisible : section as a spatial frame for a reconsideration of architectural representation
Alkan, Alper Semih; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2004)
This thesis is a critical reconsideration of the relationship of architectural production with its أmodesؤ of representation. Historically, the representation of architecture has been signifying an interval where the displacement between the mental conception and its material expression has taken place. The group composed of plan, section and elevation is called أorthographic set,ؤ which has been accepted as a universal code in architecture since it is attributed with the basic premise of its being أobjecti...
Sustainability as an Educational Concern: A Study on Industrial Design Curricula
Turhan, Senem (null; 2009-04-09)
With the emergence of sustainability, it became an important concern for curricula of industrial design education as for many other educational structures. Currently, lots of higher education institutions offer courses focusing on sustainability for various objectives. This study deals with the current situation of industrial design education in the world by means of sustainability as an educational concern. It starts with the examination of a variety of sustainable development definitions and continues wi...
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 ...
Fundamentals of architectural design comparison to filmmaking
Çetin, Hasan Okan; Aytaç Dural, Tuğyan; Department of Architecture (2006)
The relation between architecture and cinema has begun with the first steps of the technology of moving images at the beginning of the 20th century and it has continued progressively until now by importing various intellectual, representational, and practical devices from each other in order to reconfigure their own systems of knowledge. In this investigation, the fundamental elements of architectural design and principles of their organization are used in the field of cinema as a methodological tool to ana...
