Publication A conceptual idea of participatory design with BIM(2019-07) Kızılkan, Muhammet Berkay; TÜRKYILMAZ, EMRAHThis study aims to investigate the participatory design by using BIM concept and how to increase the quality of life through BIM during the design and usage process. For this purpose, user participation and BIM relationship examined through examples from the world. This paper describes a BIM framework which enables designers to involve users by using information technology. It demonstrates that participatory design approach combined with BIM can make a significant contribution towards an increase in performance in building and in the quality of life.Publication A Discussion for Alternative Affordable Housing Types: Comparative Analysis of Urban Informalities(2019-09) Küçükyazıcı, Ufuk; Alkışer Bregger, Yasemin; 254185Finding a shelter to dwell in at a reasonable price is a problematic issue for urban areas all over the world due to high values of urban land, lack of regulations about housing, and inequalities of income in society. The demand for affordable housing is increasing parallel to the rise in urban population caused by migration. Especially after industrialization, the accommodation requirements of low-income and middle- income groups in the global north were acknowledged by authorities, planners and architects in order to support development in terms of social structure, built environment and the economy. Consequently, there are studies of alternatives for housing policies in order to provide either owner-occupied houses or rental homes for the urban poor. Housing studies of western culture have impact on developing new strategies all over the world. On the other hand, in the global south, the development of economic system continues to result in migration to urban areas. Even though the major amount of the expansion in urban areas happens in developing countries, the need for affordable housing is a universal issue. The increase in population creates problems on finding equal housing options among different income levels of society for accommodating sufficient housing in the urban structure. When the demand for low-income housing units is not efficiently responded to, citizens develop their own way to create accommodation options in reasonable prices in the form of informal settlements which might have different urban characteristics according to the development level of the country, climate, and culture. However, the main purpose of squatters all over the world is to find shelter to live in so as to survive in the urban life. The changes in city formations and infrastructure requirements of urban land caused by informal solutions for housing have impact on urban development. This in turn affects the policies of urban transformation. Under these circumstances, reciprocal relations might become prominent between urban transformation and affordable housing studies. A clear definition of affordable housing is essential in order to determine concrete solutions, because the wide meaning of affordability as the status for being able to buy something creates general assumptions. The housing type that costs less than thirty percent of the total income of the households would be considered as affordable housing. In fact, this concept applies to all segment of society however; the problem mostly occurs in terms of low-income housing due to insufficient income levels, increasing land values, and property costs. In this study, the informal solution for affordable housing and the consequences in terms of urban transformation process is examined in two sections. In the first part, the definition of affordable housing is evaluated by giving policy explanations and informal solutions which have occurred as self help interventions of citizens. In addition, the comparative housing analyses approach is defined in order to explain current discussions about affordable housing studies. In the second part, affordable housing concepts in the Netherlands and Turkey are discussed through comparative analysis in order to explain the differences and similarities of housing problems in developed and developing countries. Alternative ways of affordable informal housing opportunities are evaluated in terms of the consequences of urban development through examples from Netherlands (squatter movements), and Turkey (squatter settlements) in order to explain the relation among affordable housing, urban informalities and urban transformation. The examples show the changes of urban structures due to affordable housing demand and the self-help of citizens. The reason for choosing examples from Netherlands is their detailed affordable housing system. Despite housing regulations there are also informal solutions. Informal solutions are shown to discuss the need for affordable housing, the lack of response for the demand and also the possibilities of emergent solutions of the citizens for their own problems. These emergent informal solutions have impact on the formations of cities.Publication A proposal for the definition of housing with EXPRESS(2019-07) Bayer, Semih; TÜRKYILMAZ, EMRAHThis article describes how to use the EXPRESS language for the definition of an architectural product. To make this definition, EXPRESS language and ISO 10303 standards examined. A housing project in the BIM environment described as an example by EXPRESS. The results show that it is possible to make the desired calculations about the house with EXPRESS. The definition made with a project that is still in the design phase can determine whether the project provides the desired spatial conditions by making any calculations. Thus, quality and cost-effective projects can obtain.Publication A Proposed Model for the Post-Disaster Recovery Process in Turkey(2018-11) Enginöz, Evren Burak; 121923Turkey is a country, which experience more than one disaster in a year, especially earthquakes. Undoubtedly, it is a great building experience of post-disaster settlements and refugee camps all over the country. Therefore, in order to respond or to solve problems quickly in such extraordinary situations, there are Regulations on Reconstruction of Buildings for Earthquake Zones, post disaster recovery policies and development strategies. However, these regulations, policies and strategies do not include a prospective planning ora build back better (BBB) notion. They are just only aimed to provide shelters and urban infrastructures for disaster areas in short term, which cause more serious problems than disasters can do. Especially, inadequate regulations or unsuccessful urban recovery policies affect the psychology of survivors, their social and cultural lives, their memories, daily life activities and habits. In our previous researches we also observed that, when local expectations, demands and socio-cultural attributes are not taken into account, governmental urban planning and recovery policies cause noticeable reactions from survivors. Such as; to leave or not to use the post-disaster houses (PDH), to make deformations on or additions to them or to reconstruct their new buildings. It should not be forgotten that the success of the efforts to recover the cities after a disaster depends not only on the quality of the physical environment, but also on the sustainability of socio-cultural environment and networks. Additionally at the end of each application; taking lessons from the mistakes and using feed backs, for preferring more accurate solutions, will increase the success on the future processes. Thus, a model for post-disaster recovery process, in which considers spatial preferences, social expectations, current lifestyle and evaluates the BBB, user participation and feed backs, is required. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to find out the answers of question "howto generate a model for a post-disaster recovery process that includes solutions for BBB" to avoid recurrent problems in the future. In this context, the data obtained from the case study in Afyon-Dinar permanent PDH settlements will be used. The case study was done with the method of face-to-face interviews and conducted among the selected samples with the survivors who live or lived in permanent PDH. Within the scope of this case study; we can analyze appreciations of survivors on urban imaginaries, BBB and recovery strategies by inquiring correlations, using chi-square test (p< 0.05).Publication A Transition from Rural Environments to Cities: A Criticism to Todays' Living Environments through Flexibility(2018-07) Hasgül, Esin; 231940Publication Afetler Karşısında Kentlerimizin Erişilebilirliğinin Sağlanması İçin Öneriler(2019-02) Enginöz, Evren Burak; 121923Aşırı stresli olayların yaşanması, hem kısa hem de uzun vadede sağlığımızı etkileyecek psikolojik ve fiziksel risklere yol açabileceği görülmektedir. Bu risk, doğal afetler gibi dış etkenlere bağlı ve kontrol edilemez olduğunda stresin etkisi daha fazla olmaktadır. Türkiye, giderek artan afet sonrası sorunlarla ilgilenmesi gereken ülkelerin başında gelmektedir. Evlerimizin, kentlerimizin ve ulaşım ağlarımızın olası afetlere karşı dayanıklı olması için yeniden inşa edilmesinin yanında afet sonrası tüm kentlilerin en kısa zaman içinde güvenli alanlara veya toplanma noktalarına hızlı bir şekilde erişilebilmesi gerekmektedir. Afetzedelerin afet anında bulunduğu binalardan tahliyesi ve yardıma erişimleri organize edilirken, toplumu oluşturan tüm bireylerin, özellikler sağlıklı bireylere göre kent içi erişimde birçok engellerle karşılaşan engellilerin de düş düşünülmesi gerekmektedir. Ülkemiz nüfusunun %12'si engellilerden oluşturmaktadır. Günlük hayatta ya da ola~ anüstü durumlarda karşılaşılan erişilebilirlik sorunları sadece engelli insanları değil aynı zamanda ailelerini de etkilemektedir. Bu, nüfusumuzun yarısının afetler sırasında risk altında olduğu anlamına gelmektedir. Bu nedenle, afet yönetimi ve yasal düzenlemelerimizi yeniden ele almak, şehirlerimizdeki kentsel erişebilirliği engelli insanlara göre yeniden tasarlamak zorundayız. Bu çalışma kapsamında, yaşanılan afet süresince engellilerin de erişilebilirliğinin sağlanması düş ünülerek; mimari ve yasal uygulamalar, kent içi yaya ve toplu ulaşım ve afet sonrası toplanma ve güvenli alan noktalarının engelliler içinde erişilebilirliği ile ilgili düzenleme önerileri tartışılmaya çalışılacaktır.Publication An analysis of accessibility in architectural design in terms of wheel chair users(2018) İskender, Emine; TÜRKYILMAZ, EMRAHAlthough legal rights of people with disabilities are known in Turkey, studies are insufficient on rearrangement of built environment in the fashion to serve physical accessibility of people with disabilities. This study aims to review legal rights of individuals with disabilities, within the current system in Turkey and to introduce rearrangements which enable indoor accessibility for people with disabilities. To that end, minimum requirements to enable physical indoor accessibility for individuals with disabilities were identified by examining the standards set forth by TS 9111 The Requirements of Accessibility in Buildings for People with Disabilities and Mobility Constraints, and those requirements were analyzed in terms of selected model projects. Within the scope of this research, indoor accessibility for individuals with disabilities who use wheelchair was addressed, and analyses on model projects were performed by checking requirements of wheelchair users. Following the analyses, accessibility of selected model projects was determined, and deductions were made on how designing process must be performed by taking minimum requirements into consideration.Publication An analysis of user satisfaction in relation with sense of belonging in high income housing: Atakoy case(2019) Barutçular, Tülin; DOSTOĞLU, NESLİHANHousing choice and satisfaction are among the most important factors for users in housing areas. Istanbul Atakoy is one of the areas where housing satisfaction is at the highest level in many respects. This area, which has expanded over time with new buildings, is still very instructive for researchers, although various studies on satisfaction have been carried out in the past. In this study, the aim is to obtain new data by means of Atakoy Konaklari, which was completed in 2006 and has been in use for twelve years, and Yali Atakoy which was completed in 2016 and has been in use for two years. Satisfaction and sense of belonging in Atakoy are intertwined concepts. While Neighborliness is seen as a value that is important, it also affects settlement decisions. In this respect, Atakoy is a very special region. A phenomenological approach has been adopted in the research and by means of in-depth interviews, taking the answers of the users directly, the concepts of neighborhood, neighborliness, satisfaction and belonging have been interpreted.Publication Applying analytic hierarchy process to the evaluation of double skin facades(2019-01) Önder, Naime; BOSTANCIOĞLU, ESRA; 108365A double skin facade (DSF) mediates the interaction between the outdoor environment and internal space, while also providing architectural flexibility to the building design. Designers and builders should evaluate DSF alternatives before selection of a design solution for a specific project context. In this study, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to evaluate questionnaire responses from experienced professionals. DSF alternatives and evaluation criteria were identified from the literature review and the hierarchical structure was determined based on the alternatives and the evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria were used to measure and evaluate DSF. Experienced professionals evaluated criteria and DSF alternatives. The findings of this study provide designers and builders with valuable insights into DSF evaluation factors and DSF alternatives. The results may help designers and builders with the selection of facade systems.Publication An Architectural Query of Anthropocene Era: Planned Obsolescence(Kare Publishing, 2023) AYDIN, HANIM GÜL; BİRER, EMELAfter Modernity, the human has become the subject, and the world redefined by the human has turned into a painting. However, the efforts of human subjectivity to reveal the world in the Anthropocene Era, with negative practices such as the “planned obsolescence theory,” which is the research subject, even prepares for the end of its existence. According to the research hypothesis evaluated through the theory’s effect on architectural problems, “secularization should take place against planned obsolete architecture.” The research aims to show that positive feedback can be provided in society and ecology by reversing architectural consumption. It is to open up for discussion that architecture, which is left in the tension of life and death but revived by the urbanites and nature despite the negativity of decay, can be sustained by becoming secularized. How planned obsolete architectures become secularized is revealed through visual documents and tables and discourse and descriptive analysis methods through architectures of different scales and geographies, which can be reactivated in human-nature activity while in crisis of decay. At the micro and macro scale of architecture, Hawthorne Plaza Shopping Center, Banker Han (Banker Kastelli), Doel Village, and Houtouwan Village were selected as purposeful examples.Publication Biyodijital Mimarlık Konularının Lisans Eğitimine Uyarlanması Üzerine bir Araştırma(2018-06) Karakoç, Erhan; 231942Biyodijital mimarlık, biyoloji, teknoloji ve mimarlık alanlarının kesişiminde yer alan ve dijital araçlar yardımıyla doğadaki canlıların ve oluşumların morfoloji, fonksiyon ve davranışlarının mimariye aktarılmasını sağlayan yenilikçi bir yaklaşımdır. Biyodijital mimarlık, hesaplamalı Mimarlığın hem araçsal hem de düşünsel altyapılarını destekleyen yeni tasarım araçlarının geliştirilmesi, özellikle gelişen yazılım dillerinin ve biyolojinin mimarlık araştırmalarında daha etkin biçimde kullanılabilir hâle gelmesiyle güncel bir alan tanımlamaktadır. Mimarlık mesleğinin yeni kimlik ve rol arayışına paralel olarak, akademik kurumlarda biyodijital yaklaşımın ve içerdiği yeni tasarım yöntemlerinin mimarlık eğitimi ile bütünleşmesi, güncel bir araştırma alanı doğurmaktadır. Biyodijital mimarlık konuları ve buna dayalı yöntemlerin öğretimi bazı üniversitelerin yüksek lisans ve doktora programlarında mevcuttur. Lisansüstü seviyede verilen bu yaklaşım, bu alana ilgi duyan mimarların profesyonel ve akademik hayatta bu eğitimi almalarına paralel olarak tasarım yöntemlerini ileriye taşıdıkları gözlemlenebilmektedir. Lisans eğitimi sonucu verilen mimar ünvanı sayesinde lisans eğitimini tamamlamış herkesin bina tasarlama yetkisi bulunmaktadır. Mimarlık alanının en yeni alanlarından olan biyodijital mimarlık kavramları ve buna dayalı tasarım yöntemlerinden haberdar olmayan mimarlar, geleneksel eğitimlerinin çıktıları doğrultusunda eserler ortaya çıkarabilmektedir. Bu durum mimaride teknolojinin etkin kullanılamamasına ve yapı stoğunun teknolojik gelişmelere ve biyodijital mimarlığın getirdiği avantajlara paralel olmayan bir biçimde büyümesine neden olmaktadır. Bunlara dayanarak biyodijital mimarlık alanının farkındalığının, lisans eğitiminde seçmeli dersler ve atölye çalışmaları ile artırılması bu bildirinin motivasyonu olarak belirlenmiştir. Konu kapsamında araştırma soruları aşağıdaki gibi belirlenmiştir; -Biyodijital Mimarlık, eğitim araştırmaları bağlamında nasıl tanımlanabilir? -Mimarlık lisans ders programlarında biyodijital mimarlık ve kavramlarına nasıl yer verilebilir? -Biyodijital mimarlığın öğretilmesinde önerilen seçmeli ders ve atölye çalışmalarının (Workshop) programlarının içeriğinin nasıl olması beklenmektedir? -Lisans ders programlarına biyodijital mimarlığın konularını uyarlamanın avantajları ve dezavantajları nelerdir? -Geleneksel tasarım derslerinin yürütülmesi ile biyodijital mimariye dayalı tasarım derslerinin yürütülmesindeki farklı pedagojik yaklaşımları değerlendirmek üzere nasıl bir eğitim modeli önerilebilir? -Bir stüdyo egzersizinin biyodijital mimarlık kapsamında ele alınması için bilgisayar gerekli midir? Gerekliyse nasıl kullanılmalıdır? -Biyodijital mimarlık egzersizleri nasıl kurgulanabilir? Bildiri kapsamında, kurgulanan iki çalışma bu sorular üzerinden değerlendirilerek belirgin olmayan ve kesin yargılar içermeyen, genel çerçevede biyodijital mimarlığın lisans düzeyinde uygulanmasına yönelik öngörüler oluşturulması amaçlanmaktadır. Değerlendirmeler ışığında, biyodijital tasarım eğitiminin verildiği üniversitelerin programları ve ders içerikleri ile ilgili öneriler geliştirilmesi ve öğrencilerin katılacağı atölye çalışmalarının kurgulanması ile ilgili önerilerin tartışılması bildirinin odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Bildiri kapsamında planlanan bu atölye çalışmalarının ve oluşturulması amaçlanan ders içeriklerinde, mimarlığın doğa esinli tasarım sürecinden dijital ortama aktarılmasından üretimine kadar lisans öğrencilerine biyodijital mimarlığın anlatılması yöntemlerinin araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır.

This area has been the object of attempts to transform it into a tourist attraction. The Yaliboyu Promenade, which was built by filling the area between the Yaliboyu houses and the Magdenus Bridge and the Tas Bridge in the south of Yesilirmak, started to become a public space on which art began to take place after the 2000s. How the art performed in the riverside area affects the urban design is the departure point of this study. The research question is whether the public artwork along the riverbank promenade contributes to the urban image. The aim is to investigate the artwork on the bank and discuss their relationships to the city. The methodology consists of one phase is about the urban reading method of Lynch, the positions of the artwork as focal points have been discussed. Findings show that in the existence of a historical texture, art fails to have the aspired effect. What fits better the future projection is to implement aesthetic public art to revive new urban areas designed in the public areas of the city for the different focal points.Publication Differences in Spatial Understanding between Digital and Physical Models: A Comparative Experimental Design Study on "Presentation Techniques Studio Education(2018-07) Karakoç, Erhan; 231942In architectural education, "Presentation Techniques" is the first course that is obligatory for students who take the "Architectural Studio" course in order to improve their drawing skills. The purposed outcomes of the Presentation Techniques can be classified as two major principles such as: To have ideas and knowledge about two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawing techniques for appropriate manually prepared presentations, be able to identify, interpret, and use of two-dimensional and three-dimensional techniques to express the design correctly. In architectural education, instructors use digital or physical model for explaining form and its data. Students have many different approaches measuring and understanding the spatial properties of the given form. Presentation Techniques course have two different sessions. In the first session, the drawing methods are explained theoretically. In the second session, an application upon the theoretical part is completed. Students are experienced, assessed and analyzed spatial relationships of forms and subsequently constructed real models and digital models. One of the main purpose of the study is to identify how architecture students perceive forms in digital and physical platforms and how they sketch what they perceive. This study focuses on the differences in spatial understanding between physical and digital models. The methodology of the paper is structured on informing tire differences of spatial understanding of digital and physical models regarding Presentation Techniques course, literature review, experiments, expected outcomes, and results. The experiment has two phases. Students who are participated in the same theoretical class are randomly separated into 2 groups named A and B. Students will have the same duration for both of the experiments. Participants will have the same object, but for the first experiment, the participants of the group A will have a digital model of the object and group B will have the physical model of the object. After the submission of the drawings of the given objects there will be a survey analysis that will be applied to the students for examining spatial understanding of the digital and physical models in terms of the geometries and operations upon them. These drawings and surveys will be evaluated with a method that aimed to measure students' perception and understanding. The study achieves to find out which model is the better for teaching form and its data to students. The evaluations and results of the experiments will provide a proof for a better way of teaching spatial understanding to the instructor of the course. Future work should be done in different numbers of participants as perceived by professionals and non-professionals in the field of architectural education. Because of the drawing existing forms or models is the way of learning the representation of the 3D objects.Publication Ekoloji Temalı Expoların Sürdürülebillir Kalkınma Anlayışı Üzerine Bir İnceleme: Milano ve Antalya Expo(Ahmet Fidan, 2023) HÜR, SİMGE; BİRER, EMELExpolar, dünyanın tüm ülkelerini ilgilendiren sorunlara yanıt aramaları sebebiyle küresel ölçekte önemli sayılan ortak kentsel platformlardır. Son yıllarda giderek artan çevre problemleri sebebiyle expolara tema olan ekoloji konusu, sergi ve etkinlik mekanlarının da sürdürülebilir mekanlar olmasını gündeme getirmiştir. 20.yüzyıl expolarında inşa edilen bu mekânların kentle ve ziyaretçiyle etkileşiminin expo sonrasında da devam ettiği ve kente miras kaldığı görülmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı; expoların sürdürülebilir bir bakış açısıyla tasarlanmasında belli kriterlerin oluşturulması ve yapılacak analizler çerçevesinde teorik bir kavramsal altlık oluşturularak söz konusu kentsel alanların planlanmasının önemini vurgulamaktır. Makale “ekoloji temelli expoların mimari yaklaşımı sürdürülebilir olmalıdır” hipotezine dayanmaktadır. Yöntem olarak ortak temaları ekoloji olan yurt içinde ve yurt dışında düzenlenen iki farklı exponun sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya dayalı tematik, mekânsal ve sosyal yaklaşımları içerik analizi yapılarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Milano Expo ve Antalya Expo örnek çalışma alanlarının betimsel analizlerinden elde edilen bulguların, benzer konularda yürütülecek kentsel mekân tasarımları için yol gösterici olması beklenmektedir. Sürdürülebilir expo tasarımlarının, mimari tasarımın nihai yaşamla örtüşmesi, kente atık değil simge yapılar bırakması, doğal çevrenin korunması, yeşilin arttırılma çabalarının gerçekleştirilmesi, kentin gelecek projeksiyonuna uygun bir biçimde tasarlanmasına katkıda bulunması ile sağlanacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.Publication Importance of Temporary Architecture and Permanence as an Obsolete Notion(2018-12) Soylu, Çisem; 286703Permanence is one of the qualities that has been attributed to architecture since the early ages of human settlements for several reasons such as economical, religious or nationalistic motivations. However, the paradigm shift that accompanied modernism has changed the ways that humankind lives and produces; the phenomena of obsolescence has emerged and new economical approaches as well as daily practices have shifted to a short- termed perception of time and the pace of change has accelerated. Creative destruction has become the fundamental point of origin to the modern design and construction practices. Primarily investigating the meaning of permanence -absolute and relative permanence- and the drivers of building permanent structures based on the value of architecture both theoretically and historically, this study aims to examine the obtrusive conflict between the modern transformation towards short-termism and the building culture that remained solid in terms of temporaryness. Initiations for discovering ways of building temporary structures or applying short-termed or reusable materials have great importance today, although many examples of temporary architecture may be seen throughout the history of humankind, for a more sustainable, mobile and humble architecture. The conclusion objective of this paper is to track the first modern responses to the interchangeable urban texture during the second half of the twentieth century and how the idea has evolved in time, arriving to the recent applications of temporary modals in the means of structure and material. It is crucial that architecture adapts to this relatively new conjuncture as building life spans are dramatically decreasing and natural resources are at critical levels and temporary structures may be the answer.Publication Industrial leadership: Leading within the field of construction and design(2017) Kasapoğlu, Esin; 112138The structure of the design and construction organizations is different from that of the service or manufacturing industry. Although design and construction organizsations are parts of the construction industry, they are different from each other, also. This chapter is based on the researches investigating the leadership behaviours of construction professionals and consists basically of two main sections. In the first section, the concept of leadership and importance of leadership in design and construction processes will beis discussed. In this first section, firstlyinitially, as the leaders of the design teams, the importance of leadership skills of architects in both architectural design teams and other design teams, and, secondly, the importance of leadership skills of construction professionals will beis evaluated. In the second section, the focus of the study will befocuses on the evaluation of leadership behaviours of construction professionals with a literature review of previous researches. In this second section, initially, the leadership stiles in design teams, and secondly leadership stiles of construction teams will beis evaluated.Publication Measuring qol in Doğanbey urban trasformation area in Bursa, Turkey(2019-03) Gür, Miray; Taneli, Yavuz; DOSTOĞLU, NESLİHANThis study aims to measure the quality of life (QoL), using the proposed conceptual model within the context of the interactions between human behaviour and the environment. It aims to research the effect of the control of residents on QoL, and the findings constitute the basis for a discussion on the effects of environmental policies on QoL. Doganbey in Bursa, which is in close proximity to the Khans (Inns) District, is selected as the study area because it represents an urban transformation implemented according to administrative decisions. QoL measurements in the research reflect people's evaluations, their adaptation to post-transformation environment and the implementation process by means of questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that lack of resident control has an adverse effect on satisfaction and QoL, and that an urban transformation conducted without user participation will fail. In conclusion, the study aims to contribute to decision-making mechanisms within the framework of residents' influence to ensure increased QoL. The intention of the authors is to promote the usage of QoL scale developed for other housing or transformation areas by modifying the questions according to varying geographies and social groups.Publication Participatory Design Through BIM(2019-07-03) Kızılkan, Berkay; TÜRKYILMAZ, EMRAH; 113480Today, the projects characterize by collaboration between multidisciplinary parties and are highly dependent on the communication between them. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the use of the computer-generated model to simulate the planning, design, construction, and operation of a facility; a technology that allows users to create a visual simulation of a project with a digital prototype of a building prior to construction. The computational model of BIM forms an environment that serving the various disciplines of the design process to work together. The concept of BIM aims to minimize concerns arising from the time, cost and quality of the changes in the design, and implementation of construction projects in the architecture, engineering and construction sector. Within the framework of this objective, all information in the project process should manage correctly to increase collaboration. Participatory design, known in architecture since the 70s, is also used in the urban design and landscape design as a way of more appropriate environments for users. One of the major characteristics of participatory design is that users are actively involved in the design and construction process. The most problematic part of the participatory design is the difficulty of understanding abstract planning data by users. By incorporating the user through the design process through BIM, the users can more involve in the design decision process to achieve better satisfaction. The identification of user-specific attributes can facilitate, and the creation of spatial comfort conditions can accelerate with participatory design through BIM. Because of this relationship, while the spatial comfort and quality of life of increases, it is possible to save cost in the design process. This study aims to investigate the participatory design by using BIM concept and how to increase the quality of life through BIM during the design and usage process. For this purpose, user participation and BIM relationship examined through examples from the world. This paper describes a BIM framework which enables designers to involve users by using information technology. It demonstrates that participatory design approach combined with BIM can make a significant contribution towards an increase in performance in building and in the quality of life.Publication Public Interest Design and Its Impact on Architecture and Urban Design Education: Pointers for Turkey(2018-11) Gökşin, Zeynep Ayşe; 254186Public interest design can be defined as a community-based approach to designing products, environments and systems that expands disciplinary boundaries and professional practices and relevance of planning and design disciplines in 21st century. Since 1960s, participatory design and planning began to develop based on concepts such as equity, social justice and the right to the city. Mostly, public interest design practice is working to find out ways to provide architecture and urban design services for communities who cannot otherwise afford them. In the last decade, the impact of this approach is also reflected in architecture and urban design education. Public Interest Design and Research Centres are established in architecture schools in USA and Europe where academics and students work with communities on real issues in existing contexts, either as part of the curriculum or as independent projects and programmes. In Turkey, public interest design is a growing field of practice. Young professionals and students from architecture, planning and other disciplines work together with communities often on a voluntary basis or pro bono. A recent exhibition by the Chamber of Architects brought some of these groups and their projects onto the agenda. Although professional interest is growing, architectural education has not yet responded to this new way of practice. The aim of this paper is to analyse the international experience in public interest design and its impact on education in terms of opportunities and challenges and provide some pointers for architecture and urban design education in Turkey.Publication Public Space and Ideal City Concept: a Journey Between Renaissance and Modernism(2019-10-25) Aksoy Oral, Emine Merve; 231941In the Renaissance period, the first theoretical studies on urban planning and the search for order based on mathematical ratio, symmetry and human proportions are conducted. In addition to the physical space determined by geometric rules, a social arrangement takes place as a means of architecture. During this period, the Municipal Palaces, where public power is represented are located along with the religious buildings in idealized city squares. As the growing trade becomes the focal point of everyday life, the city squares are projected and designed in a trade-oriented way including market places. There are parallels between urban planning and designed public spaces in the Ancient Roman period and the point of view that revived the antiquity of the Renaissance period. In the 20th century, in the light of urban planning principles determined from a modernist point of view, "contemporary ideal city" projections are formed. Similar to the regulation of the physical space determined through rigid, geometric rules in the Renaissance period, idealized cities were projected and designed during the Modernist period. The study aims to investigate the concept of public space in urban planning and the visions of the "ideal city" during Renaissance and Modernist periods. Analyzing first the prominent city models and ideal squares in the historical process up to Modernist era, the research will examine the "ideal city" designs developed by Le Corbusier and set forth the old-new relations in search of creating the ideal order. In the study, the concept of ideal city during the Renaissance period will be explored both from theoretical and practical perspectives through both architectural treatises of Da Vinci, Alberti and Filarete with his ideal city "Sforzinda" and Pienza as a realized example. Le Corbusier's contemporary city plans and the modernist urban planning principles pointed out during CIAM meetings will be examined in reference to Renaissance regarding the same desire for social order. As a result, the similarities in the architectural approaches through periods will be laid out.
