Tall buildings are seen as iconic landmarks because of their bold effect on the city silhouette. To control this bold effect in an aesthetically desired manner, designers search for intriguing forms such as twisted buildings. There are two main approaches for designing the structural system of a twisted tall building. In the first approach, the twisted form of the building is obtained only by the rotation of the floors, and the structural system is maintained in a conventional, perpendicular way. Alternatively, the structural system and the floors of the building twist together. This study designates these as non-adaptive and adaptive, respectively. With different heights and angles of twist, non-adaptive and adaptive tall building models are created and analysed under the combined effect of wind and gravity loads. The dynamic properties, drift, moment, and torsion demands are compared to scrutinize and assess the potentials and limitations of these alternative approaches.

A comparative study on alternative structural system layouts of twisted tall buildings Taşkın, Gökçe Nihan; Ay, Bekir Özer; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2019) Tall buildings are seen as icons in their environment and they have a strong impact on the silhouette of the cities. The form of a tall building is critical to define an iconic expression and control their impact on the city silhouette in an aesthetically desired way. In this respect, designers are searching for diversity and uniqueness in the form of tall buildings. Twisted forms are one of the answers for this quest. However, the inherent complexity of twisted tall buildings can pose adverse design featur...
A Study on the preliminary design of tall buildings: investigating structural components Çamlıbel, Gülçin; Ay, Bekir Özer; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2019) Tall buildings are built to respond to limited and high-cost urban land problem, and they became essential for urbanization which changes the sights of the cities. These buildings are huge investments, and keeping Net Floor Area (NFA) within acceptable limits while satisfying stiffness and strength requirements of the building is important; therefore, different structural systems are improved in order to overcome huge lateral load demands. Since simple design approaches and rule-of-thumb dimensioning method...
Planning considerations of tall buildings : service core configuration and typologies Keskin, Zeynep; Günel, Mehmet Halis; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2012) In general, tall buildings, some of which are termed as “skyscrapers”, are among the typical and almost unavoidable features of the metropolitan cities. There is a competititive race of constructing higher and higher buildings since the birth of the infamous Home Insurance Building in Chicago which is still considered to be the pioneer of the modern tall buildings. Recently, an efficient service core design is strongly needed and inquired with the increase in height and capacity of tall buildings. Such need...
A RESEARCH ON THE PERCEPTION OF ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS ABOUT STRAW-BALE BUILDINGS Erbil, Yasemin; Yücel, Çigdem; Kizilkusak, R.Tugba (European Center of Sustainable Development, 2018-1-1) Although straw-bale construction has been used for thousands of years, currently doesn't attract considerable attention by professional architects and students. The reason behind this is assumed to be the prejudices and lack of knowledge about straw-bale buildings. In the scope of this research understanding candidate architects point of view on the preference criterias that are effective about choice of straw-bale construction is aimed. For this purpose, among 214 students of private university (in Turkey)...
A study on different dynamic solar shading control strategies using multi criteria design optimization Gürsel Dino, İpek (null; 2016-10-15) The correct design of shading devices that control the amount of daylighting entering a building is an integral part of performative building design. Solar control devices have the potential to reduce building cooling load, improve the daylighting performance and reduce the negative effect of glare in building spaces. Solar shading design strategies, therefore, need to consider multiple criteria together and find an optimal tradeoff between them. This paper presents our experiments on differe...
