Nature and the human standpoint in Kant’s critical philosophy
Kireçci, Mert; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2018)
This study aims to explicate what “nature” means after Kant’s Copernican Revolution. First of all, a presentation of the active contribution of the subject to the experience of nature, within the context of Critique of Pure Reason, will be offered. After discussing the regulative status of the principle of causality (the Second Analogy of Experience) and delineating nature as an a priori concept, the question why pure reason inevitably falls into contradiction with itself will be our central concern. The th...
Nature-Based Design For Water-sensitive Cities: A Street-scale Computational Approach
Karakadılar, Ahmet Can; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Baş Bütüner, Funda; Department of Architecture (2022-9-1)
Cities grow and develop at an unprecedented pace, but that does not necessarily bring similar attention to water management in cities. Water unconscious development of the cities leads to water scarcity and disturbance of the natural cycle of water and eventually creates unhealthy places for all the living inside the city. Nature-based solutions help us tackle water-related problems and harvest rainwater in our cities while simultaneously improving the well-being of the habitants in various ways. Numerous n...

Nature inspired design paradigms for design ideation: a study on packaging design
Yıldırım, Nur; Gürsu, Hakan; Department of Industrial Design (2014)
The objects in our daily lives and the natural entities that surround us are embedded with ingenious solutions, each of which is tailored for specific design problems. These essential forms, techniques and properties that originate in nature and human designs have led to an accumulation of strategies through years. There are various tools for the utilisation of these knowledge in design practice; nature inspired design approaches enable using nature’s models and principles for sustainable design solutions a...
