The influence between architecture and industry manifested itself in a series of new technical developments, styles, and trends in architectural practice in the 19th and 20th centuries. With the inclusion of the advanced machine of industry, 'computer' into this sphere of influence, the sequential mode of transformations furcated and dispersed into a reticulated structure and began to penetrate the fundamentals of architecture. Today, while the non-human intervention/involvement of advanced computation, robotics, big data, and artificial intelligence in daily life changes the social, cultural, and economic conditions, on the other, the transformations in architecture go beyond mere visual expression and technical advancements and affect thought, design, and fabrication process and organization of practice. Therefore, this thesis aims to understand the transformations in architecture from post-industrial condition to the Second Digital Turn by examining the emerging concepts and practices since the 1990s and the transformative relationship between industry and architecture from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Pioneers of the Next Generation Sustainability Strategies in the Built Environments: Robotics in Architecture
Bostancı Sabur, Hafize Büşra (2019-12-01)
The discussions on “sustainability in architecture” that shapes policies and practices by seeking less footprints in the ecosystem, and “computational technologies” that forces all design disciplines re- think each phase from initial design to end product as well as in the realm of architecture are two important subjects of this century. Environmental problems have become a reality that should be discussed at many levels and the solutions are being tried to be produced. Factors such as i...
On the paradoxical nature of frampton's critical regionalism
Kömez Dağlıoğlu, Esin (2019-05-01)
The seeds of postmodern architecture were sown in the early 1950s and 1960s when architects, theoreticians and teachers developed new design approaches and pedagogies related to the notion of context in order to heal the ill effects of orthodox modern architecture and planning. Critical Regionalism was suggested as an alternative to postmodern architecture in the 1980s, though it strongly aligns with its original premises on context. To unfold this relation, this paper provides a critical re-reading of Kenn...
Understanding the construction technique of Mimar Sinan’s buildings: the case of Lüleburgaz Sokullu Mehmed Paşa Mosque
Etyemez Çıplak, Leyla; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2017)
This dissertation constructs a comprehensive understanding of the construction techniques applied and developed by Mimar Sinan, which underlie the structural characteristics of 16th century Ottoman Architecture. Conducting a research into the literature on Classical Ottoman Architecture and Mimar Sinan’s buildings, the study distinguishes Sokullu Mehmed Paşa Menzil Complexes in Lüleburgaz, Havsa and Payas among the buildings and complexes as known to be designed by Mimar Sinan. It focuses on the mosques of ...
A new approach for defining the conservation status of early Republican architecture, case study : primary school buildings in İzmir
Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Madran, Emre; Department of Architecture (2010)
International discussions on the conservation of the twentieth-century architectural heritage emphasize the diversity of the whole of the built environment of the entire century, rather than limiting consideration to canonic examples of the architectural historiography during the identification and assessment of the properties to be conserved. In contrast to this international holistic and inclusive approach, the approach to the identification and assessment of the properties in Turkey has in general been s...
Housing the modern nation: the transformation of residential architecture in Ankara during the 1920s
Avcı Hosanlı, Deniz; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2018)
The dissertation examines the residential architecture produced in Ankara during the 1920s. Scholars have studied the traditional housing in the historic city of Ankara constructed from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, as well as the modern housing constructed in the newly developed parts of the city during the period from the 1930s onwards; however, studies on the housing production of the first decade of the Turkish Republic in both the old and the new parts of Ankara are still insufficient. The p...
