Publication Metadata only A biomimetic research on how cities can mimic forests to become sutainable and smart(2020-06) KARABETÇA, ALİYE RAHŞANIn nature, everything is functional concerning each other. Every single organism supports the other either with a symbiotic relationship or in terms of form and/or function; such as some trees shed their leaves to the ground to prepare themselves for strong winter conditions and also to create nutrition for microorganisms and fungi under the surface. This kind of interaction of nature could lead architects to develop better solutions to create better built environments which is the main objective of this paper. It aims to clarify and prove that nature is the greatest mentor and can teach humanity many solutions about designing smart cities. In this context, using biomimicry as a design strategy is the main methodology. Biomimicry and biology will be the scientific fields for researching and understanding the structural strength, bioclimatic properties, functional morphology and other important features of forests which will be explained to identify forests and state solutions for developing smart cities. Outcomes of this paper aim to scientifically state that forests are naturally sustainable built environments which are the greatest examples for smart cities and when they unite, they are able to create the most suitable living environments for other living organisms.Publication Embargo A Design Evaluation Model For Architectural Competitions: Measuring Entropy Of Multiple Factors In The Case Of Municipality Buildings(2018-03) Şener, Sinan Mert; GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; 187152; 120245Various types of information embedded in the built environment or buildings can be measured by using methods such as entropy to give objective, precise and quantitative results. Jury evaluation is a process where buildings are evaluated subjectively without predefined selection criteria, and that criteria are weighted. The model developed in this study investigates the relationship between entropy values calculated for buildings, and the success obtained as a result of the jury evaluation. Since both design and jury evaluation are not dependent on a single factor, the relationship between single entropy values and the success of the projects cannot be questioned. Therefore, the model being developed in this study handles 5 different entropy values calculated according to 5 factors, weighted independently, and finds total entropy values. To achieve similar results to jury evaluation, a non-dominated sorting algorithm for weighting factors was utilized in relation to an inverted U graph. By finding the weighting between the entropy values, the study aims to resolve a parametric foundation for jury evaluation. Within the scope of this study, 24 municipality building projects designed for architectural project competition between 2015 and 2016 in Turkey, and which have received awards have been evaluated.Publication Metadata only A Design Studio for with If an architectural pattern is organized with in place(2013) Yanarateş, D. B.; Yalçın, Ferhan; USTA, GÜLAY; 6674; 187153Publication Metadata only A general overview on the concep of westernalization in ottoman harboring culture(2020) Akbaş, Gamze; Erdemir, Zuhal; Tosun, Zuhal; ERÇETİN, ARZUThe time frame of this study corresponds to an era which was questioned in a socio-political sense and accordingly in which a change was inevitable. In this direction, the radical change that the Empire passed through reveals a need of handling new understandings attributed to education, family and women as a whole. Therefore, in this study, many changes occurred in the social structure of the society along with the modernization process will be analyzed culturally and socially. In this course started with westernization, the Ottoman social structure started to change; and accordingly the Western culture data embarked upon to get involved in harboring culture. The increasing economic and political relations between Ottoman and Western caused Ottoman society to change its shell in social and cultural sense. In architectural historiography, when we reduce housing to the scope of Ottoman harboring culture, we see that the discourses are not polyphonic, rather, we can say that there is an ongoing time-wise reading on in the frame of same determinations. This analysis is mainly for naming problem, root concept, typology and spatial organization. Especially in researches on Ottoman harboring culture, it is seen that especially the naming issue turned into a problem. On the basis of all this data, a general overview on the Westernization effect on Ottoman harboring culture will be earned out.Publication Metadata only A HolisticApproachToInterior Design Education: FromConceptual Framework to Final Project(2016-05) Kutlu, Rana; Melikoğlu Eke, Armağan Seçil; TERLEMEZ, ALİ KEMAL; 59581; 30997; 186429Publication Embargo A proposal for personalized advanced traveler informatıon system(Istanbul Kultur Univ, Atakoy Campus, Bakirkoy, Istanbul, 34156, Turkey, 2015-10) GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; 187152Nowadays, with technological developments and the popularization of mobile communication devices Advanced Traveler Information Systems become more popular for people who are traveling in the city. When Advanced Traveler Information Systems analyzed, in general, it is possible to see that systems produce monotype and not personalized route suggestions. These monotype routes ignore many parameters involved in the transportation process. Transportation activity has a complex structure that is affected by many physical and non-physical parameters varies from one to another. In the study, this complex structure is described through the transportation system of Istanbul. As a result of examination with a critical point of view, the necessity of a new Advanced Traveler Information System in Istanbul's Urban Transportation is highlighted. For more realistic route alternatives that consider all parameters and personal preferences affecting the transport infrastructure of the city, a conceptual framework of a new Advanced Transportation Information System developed.Publication Open Access A Shape Grammar Based Expert System to Generate Traditional Turkish House Plan Layouts(2014-12) GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; 187152The traditional Turkish Houses have a long history, which has gone through many stages of development in Anatolia and Rumeli in the last five centuries. The purpose of this study is to experience the formal and syntactic information underlying the plan layouts of traditional Turkish Houses having a certain design language through an interactive and highly visual expert system. In the study, the shape grammar was applied as the method. Shape grammar enables the analysis of design languages of algorithmic structure and the production of new designs. By referring to the shape grammar, an algorithm is developed to generate plan layouts. Developed algorithm is interpreted to computer by using “Processing” coding interface. The input data is derived from Cagdas’s study named as “A Shape Grammar: The Language of Traditional Turkish Houses”. The generation process is executed by users, due to the interactive structure of the expert system by the help of keyboard. The shape grammar interpreter in this study helps users to understand the formal compositions and plan layouts of traditional Turkish houses. System also record numerous plan layout alternatives generated by users.Publication Metadata only A Studio Experience In The Context Of Design And Application In Interior Design Education, Rome, Italy(2015) Kutlu, Rana; 59581Publication Embargo A Study on Measuring Complexity in Muqarnas Patterns(2019-04) Alaçam, Sema; GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; 187152; 152924Throughout history, mathematicians from different cultures and places traced other scholars' work to make a contribution and extend the knowledge of the geometry field. In the Islamic world, artisans combine the theoretical knowledge about geometry and making skills to build more sophisticated and complicated geometric patterns. Today, the underlying principles of geometric patterns are still a research subject of many physicists and mathematicians. Geometric patterns are used both in design and construction phases of muqarnas which is a specialized spatial element in Islamic Architecture. In the scope of this study, after a comprehensive analysis, new muqarnas patterns are generated by using algorithms.Publication Metadata only A Systematic Analysis of Lighting Design From Macro to Micro Scales in Sustainable Architecture(2009) Manav, Banu; Kutlu Güvenkaya, Rana; Küçükdoğu, Mehmet Şener; 44251; 59581; 5839Publication Embargo Addressing Environmental Design in Interior Architecture Education : Reflections On The Interior Design Studio(Elsevier Science Bv, Sara Burgerhartstraat 25, Po Box 211, 1000 Ae Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2012) Garip, Banu; Garip, Ervin; 106178; 162379Today, the fluid and multi-layered structure of the environment demands design professions acquire a broader perspective in conjunction with a more expanded, cross-boundary knowledge and skills.

A research was conducted to evaluate and compare the aesthetic evaluations of architecture and civil engineering students through selected architectural buildings. It is hypothesised that there would be a difference between the two groups' evaluations and descriptions of the visual attributes. Photographs of 6 different buildings were chosen which had different characteristics related with their structure, form and context; and a questionnaire was designed. 35 architecture and 30 civil engineering students were asked to describe the selected buildings. A "Visual Evaluation Test", which included photographs of the selected buildings was used within the questionnaire. Additionally, the participants were asked to rank 6 buildings due to their aesthetic preferences. Data was statistically analysed through semantic differential scales, and "Mann Whitney U Test". Results from the two groups of respondents had some similarities and differences. Despite the two different groups described the settings with similar adjectives, they gave different responses on choosing the buildings as "like" or "dislike". Besides, the two groups' responses to the questions which they ranked the buildings due to their aesthetic preferences differed substantially. In relation with the findings, the educational processes of two disciplines were discussed and some suggestions were given. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and/or peer review under responsibility of Prof. Ayse Cakir IlhanPublication Metadata only Algoritmik Tektonikleri Öğrenmeyi Öğrenmek(2019-06-17) GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; 187152Günümüzde, bir mimarlık öğrencisi lisans öğrenimi boyunca pek çok dijital temsil, modelleme ve üretim arayüzleri ile karşılaşmaktadır.Bu dijital arayüzlerin büyük bir bölümü, öğrencilerin mezuniyetine kadar değişmekte, dönüşmektedir. Kimi arayüzler ise kullanım ömürlerini tamamlamakta, kısa süre içerisinde yerini yeni araç ve arayüzlere bırakmaktadır. Diğer yandan mimari biçimin dijital ortamda temsili, dönüştürülmesi ve üretimine ilişkin süreçler ve bunların kuramsal temelleri, dijital araçlara kıyasla daha yavaş değişmektedir. Araçların, arayüzlerin ve temsilin sürekli çeşitlenmekte olduğu bir ortamda, mimarlık öğrencilerine dijital modelleme becerilerinin hangi pedagojik yöntem ve yaklaşımlarla kazandırabileceği ise tartışmalı bir konudur. Bilgisayar destekli tasarım ve üretim araçlarının (BDT/BDÜ) yaygınlaşması, mimari biçimin temsilinden üretimine kadar geçen süreçleri dönüştürmektedir. Biçimin temsilindeki bu dönüşüm, aynı zamanda enformasyon ve bilginin temsili, işlenmesi ve yeniden kullanımı ile ilişkilidir. Bu anlamda Oxman’m (2006) da altını çizdiği gibi, son ürün olarak “biçim” yerine, süreç olarak “biçimlenme” ön plana çıkmaktadır. Dijital tasarım ise “hesaplamalı çevrelerdeki tasarımı destekleyen, enformasyon ile biçimin temsilleri arasında oluşan ilişkiler” olarak tariflenmektedir (Sass ve Oxman, 2006). Ahrens (2013) ise bu durumu, biçimin tasarımı yerine performansa dayalı dinamik ilişkileri ve etkileşimi tasarlamak olarak açıklamaktadır. Oxman (2006) dijital modelleri: bilgisayar destekli tasarım modelleri (Computer-Aided Design, CAD), biçimlenme modelleri, üretken modeller ve performans modelleri olarak ele almaktayken bu çalışma kapsamında BDT/BDÜ kavramları dijital modellerin tamamı için kullanılacaktır. Picon (2010) BDT’ın yeni krizi olarak ölçek ve tektonik konularına ilaveten malzemenin mimarlıktaki varlığının yeniden ele alınmasının ihtiyacını ortaya koymaktadır. Oxman (2006) ise enformasyonun, tasarımcıların yeni “malzemesi” olduğuna işaret etmektedir. BDT’da “ölçek” geleneksel anlamını kaybederken, mikroskobik ölçekten makroskopik ölçek daha önce olmadığı kadar iç içe geçebilmektedir. Örneğin bir maddenin bünyesinde bulunan ve çıplak gözle görünmeyen içsel ilişkilerdeki bir müdahale, madde işlenip malzemeye dönüştüğünde davranışında yapısal değişikliklere yol açabilmektedir. Picon’un (2010) da altını çizdiği gibi, madde, malzeme ve biçim araştırmalarında keşifsel yaklaşımlara, deneysel pratiği ve yeni bakış açılarına ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Bu ihtiyaç mimarlık öğreniminde biçimlenme, ölçek, tektonik ilişkiler ve malzeme konularının ele alınışına yansımaktadır. Mimarlık öğreniminde BDT/BDÜ araçlarının öğrencilere sunumu konusunda aşağıda sıralanan problemlerle sıklıkla karşılaşılmaktadır: Bir beceriyi başka bir deneyime/bağlama yansıtma konusunda karşılaşılan problemler; - Yeni bir beceri kazanma sürecinde bilişsel yükün çok olmasından kaynaklanan erken vazgeçme eğilimi; - BDT/BDÜ araçlarının potansiyellerinden tasarım süreçlerinde yararlanmada yalnızca temsil amaçlı kullanılması; - Dijital model üzerindeki kontrolün kaybedilmesi; Dijital modeldeki parça-bütün ilişkisinin takip edilmemesi. Mimarlık öğreniminde bilgisayarın kullanımı konusunda kuramsal çalışmaların temelleri çok daha önceki dönemlere dayansa da, yaygın olarak kullanımı yaklaşık yirmi yıl geriye tarihlendirilebilir. Bu süreçte, BDT proje stüdyolarından ayrı dersler olarak mı ele alınacak, geleneksel proje stüdyoları ile bütünleşme arayışı güdülecek mi (Duarte ve diğ, 2012), kağıtsız-dijital stüdyo geleneksel stüdyonun yerini mi alacak (Norman, 2001), problem tabanlı öğrenme (Eilouti, 2007) yaklaşımlarıyla ele alınabilir mi ya da bilgisayar destekli üretim süreçleriyle ilişkilendirilebilir mi (Zarzycki, 2013) gibi çeşitli denemeler ve tartışmalar bulunmaktadır. BDT/BDÜ derslerinin tasarım edimi ile ilişkilenmeden ayrık olarak aktarıldığı süreçlerde, öğrenciler tasarım deneyimi ile dijital modelleme becerisini bütünleştirmekte güçlük yaşamaya devam etmeleri ve BDT/BDÜ derslerinde öğrendiklerini proje stüdyosuna yansıtmalarının uzun zaman aldığı gözlemlenmektedir. BDT/BDÜ becerisinin proje stüdyolarının içinde ve geleneksel tasarım stüdyolarının bir uzantısı olarak ele alındığı durumlarda ise, (a)hem yeni arayüzlerin becerisini edinme, (b)hem de bir tasarım problemini bağlamsal ilişkileri ile bütünlüklü olarak ele almak beklentisi öğrencilerde bilişsel yük yaratabilmektedir.Bu durum, tasarım ürünlerinin çeşitliliği ve bir tasarımın iteratif olarak geliştirmesi açısından mimari tasarım stüdyosu performansını olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Bunun sonucu olarak, biçimsel olarak karmaşık ancak yeterince olgunlaşmamış tasarım çözümleri sıklıkla karşılaşılmaktadır. Ya da BDT/BTÜ arayüzlerinin kullanımı, geleneksel tasarım sürecinde ortaya çıkan temsillerinin dijital karşılıklarının üretildiği araçlar olarak, temsil boyutuyla kısıtlı kalabilmektedir. Bilişsel yükün yoğun olduğu durumlarda, öğrencilerin BDT/BDÜ arayüzlerinin sunduğu olanakların potansiyellerini araştırmadan, yüzeysel bir beceri noktasında bunları öğrenmekten vazgeçmesi de sıklıkla karşılaşılan başka bir tutumdur. Matematiksel ve mantıksal modeller ve algoritmik/parametrik modelleme yaklaşımlarının kullanılması; tasarımcıların analog yöntemlerle kısıtlı zaman içerisinde hesaplamalarının olanaklı olmadığı alternatifleri de sunmakta ve tasarım sürecini zenginleştirebilmektedir. Ancak hangi işlemin geometriyi/biçimi nasıl dönüştürdüğü ve hangi ara sonuçları ortaya çıkarabileceği gibi işlem adımlarının şeffalığı ve parça-bütün ilişkisi üzerindeki farkındalık kolaylıkla kaybedilebilmektedir. Yukarıda sıralanan tespitlerden hareketle, yüksek lisans düzeyinde bir ders olan Dijital Mimari Tasarım ve Modelleme dersi, öğrencilerin dijital araçları yaratıcı kullanma becerilerini desteklemek amacıyla bir deney alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Dijital modellemenin mimarlığın bütün karmaşık ilişkilerini birlikte değil bunun yerine kendi içinde kısıtları bulunan parçalar halinde, “algoritmaları öğrenmek” hedefiyle öğretildiği “sindirilebilir küçüklükte bağlam” pedagojik modelinin 5 yarıyıl süresince uygulaması bu araştırmanın temel veri kaynağını oluşturmaktadır. Sunulan pedagojiik yöntemde, bire-çok ve çoka-çok olmak üzere iki temel model kullanılmış, modelin kısıtlamaları ve potansiyelleri tartışılmıştır.Publication Metadata only An Analysis On The Emotional interactions Of Light And Color: The Visual Culture Of Istanbul(Medimond S R L, Via Maserati 5, 40128 Bologna, 00000, Italy, 2012-03-07) Manav, Banu; Kutlu, Rana; Ormancı, Sevinç; 44251; 59581; 141877The abstract composition of colored light, color appearance of surfaces, color-mood associations may give rise to subjective evaluations in a space. Light can affect human nervous system, cognition, memories, expectations and this spiritual energy is vital for our lives. Light is also an energy which provides a balance via the complementary of opposites, expressed in terms of yin and yang. Yin and yang together make up the wholeness of the universe, for without one the other cannot exist. The present study discusses the importance of light energy and color composition in the historical background of three renovation projects in Istanbul. Also, the spiritual power of light-color are explained by means of the complementary of these two opposite poles; yin and yang. The superimposed images of light and color are analyzed from the view point of emotional interactions of light and color in design concept. The sign-function of light and color symbolism are also discussed by means of the transformation of cultural heritage of the historical image to their new cultural identity.Publication Metadata only An entropy-based design evaluation model for architectural competitions through multiple factors(MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2019-11) Şener, Sinan Mert; GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNELGenerally, the evaluations in architectural competitions are based on quality where many criteria are involved. Additionally, many other inter-related criteria, identified by the members of the jury, emerge during jury evaluation. Hence, a great number of criteria play a role, with varying degrees of importance, in the evaluation process. The order of importance and weights of criteria (factors) in the evaluation phases are not fixed and differ according to the approaches of the jury members. The objective of this study is to investigate whether subjective means of evaluation can be associated with an objective and computable evaluation model. Entropy, an objective method used to measure disorder in buildings, offers significant potential in enhancing the comprehensibility of subjective tendencies in jury evaluation of architectural competitions. Previous studies have identified an inverted U relationship between entropy and subjective responses based on single and multiple factors. The Entropy-Based Design Evaluation Model (EBDEM), a method, analyzes the level of objectivity in jury evaluation and questions the predictability of evaluations through examining the relationship between the entropy values of projects and success outcomes. The Weighted Overall Entropy (WOE) was obtained by multiplying multiple factor entropy values with different weight coefficients with the purpose of ranking each project on an inverted U graph similar to jury results. The relationship between WOE values calculated and the ranking of the projects in the competitions were investigated. The findings within this study indicate that there are no relationships between single factor entropy values and ranking of the projects. Additionally, it was found that WOE values calculated for single-competition compared to multiple-competitions were more similar to jury evaluation results.Publication Open Access An Experimental Study On Creating Process Of Geometric Patterns(2015-12) GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; GÜZELCİ, HANDAN; 187152; 201115Artists and designers use geometric patterns to cover surfaces since ancient times. In the 13th century the architectural works show artists have a broad knowledge of creating geometric patterns. Mathematicians conduct researches and achieve creation principles of these patterns barely in the 20th century. In this context, the principles of patterns can be known by its designer but cannot be distinguished easily with a deductive approach. Geometric shapes that are typically repeating in order form a geometric pattern. Patterns are seen as an integrated composition of geometric shapes. Nowadays, computer-based programs help to create various patterns fast and efficiently. Mathematical operations are defined to make transformations on shapes. Executing simple transformations like moving, copying, mirroring and rotating on an initial shape creates 2D geometric patterns. The first objective of this study is to search the generation process of geometric patterns and find out which parameters are used to create these patterns. This study aims not only to create shapes or geometric pattern alternatives but also to teach generation principles of geometric patterns to design students experimentally by a generative code. In the scope of this study, 2D geometric patterns are studied which are analyzed by a deductive approach. According to analysis, the following parameters are used in generation process; Specification of initial shape / Position of initial shapes / Distance between repeated shapes / Number of the repetition of x and y-axis / Determination of the angle transformations By changing these parameters experimentally in coding interface, the transformation of patterns and variety in pattern geometry are examined. Before changing parameters, the main structure of code modified three times. At the first coding, hexagon shape is created by using simple lines. By copying hexagon ten times on “x” and “y” axis and moving one shape (hexagon) many different patterns are created. Besides, sub shapes are emerged in the pattern, which are not hexagons anymore. At the second coding, changing the edge number of initial shape is transformed hexagon into a pentagon. The angles between pentagons edges are modified, and pentagons become stars with different angles. These star geometries also rotate on the axis to generate different geometric patterns. During the third modification of code, hexagons edge number is set as a variable. Changing the edge number creates a pattern that includes lines, triangles, square, pentagon, hexagon and polygons with more edges than six. As a result of modified parameters like sizes, positions, edge numbers and angles many unpredictable patterns emerge. This study shows the efficiency of coding on pattern generation. Emerged shapes can be used again as an initial shape, and new patterns can be generated with a high variety.Publication Metadata only An Experimental Study on the Appraisal of an Office Setting with Respect to Illuminances and Wall Colors(2009) Manav, Banu; Kutlu Güvenkaya, Rana; Küçükdoğu, Mehmet Şener; 44251; 59581; 5839Publication Metadata only An experimental study on the appraisal of the visual environment at offices in relation to colour temperature and illuminance(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND, 2007-02) Manav, Banu; TR44251Colour temperature and illumination level have affected the subjective impressions at an office setting. 20001x was preferred to 5001x for impressions of comfort, spaciousness, brightness and saturation evaluation. A 4000 K colour temperature was preferred to 2700 K for impressions of 'comfort and spaciousness', while 2700 K was suggested for 'relaxation' and 'saturation evaluation'. Test results indicate that. task-back.-round contrast is more important and shall be studied for 'perceived brightness' evaluation. Participants liked the 'mixed colour temperature mood'.. the remote control and the flexibility in the lighting system and the majority offered to use it at offices. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

It is strictly advised to reduce energy consumption while maintaining visual quality, safety and comfort. Within those scope, the aim of this study is to evaluate energy performance and visual comfort of tubular LED lamps. Measuring and calculating illuminance, uniformity, power demand, total harmonic distortion and power factor of tubular fluorescent and LED lamps allow a comparison of the two lighting installations via quantitative methods. Qualitative data is evaluated by a visual task designed to evaluate the room impression and perception of changes in the lighting systems. 30 randomly selected employees participated in the study. Results suggest that, tubular LED lamps are similar to tubular fluorescent lamps in terms of lighting quality. The evaluated data on illuminance, glare and visual appearance indicate that there is no difference in visual perception between lamp types. On the other hand, 22.8% of energy saving ratio could be achieved with the technology used in this field test; however, this ratio could be more than 60% with inevitable development in LED technology. As a result, tubular LED lamps can be used as an alternative to tubular fluorescent lamps in terms of energy efficiency.Publication Embargo An interdisciplinary approach at design-space and graphic design interaction between interior(Istanbul Kultur Univ, Atakoy Campus, Bakırkoy, Istanbul, 34156, Turkey, 2015-07) Kutlu, Rana; 59581Nowadays the concept of "identity" is worked on diligently as a marketing strategy and deemed as an important tool in concept works of design disciplines of different scales through physical space, which reaches out to consumers. In this study, impacts of identity on spatial design are discussed in terms of interdisciplinary communication and tools used for transferring the meaning, which transforms identity into image are listed. Besides, the impact of spatial design on users' perception are explained in connection with graphic design, architecture and interior architecture. Tools used for meaning transfer, which play a role in defining and developing design based on identity are evaluated together with identity and image creating processes.
