    Interdisciplinary Approaches in The Field of Architecture: Biomimicry
    (2018-05) Aytıs, Saadet; KARABETÇA, ALİYE RAHŞAN; 42098; 257590
    It is not possible for professions and occupations to exist without supports of other disciplines. Being abstracted from interdisciplinary conceptions inhibits professions to continue their existence. These professions are also influenced by circumstances of modern world that are impossible to detach from interaction and communication. Increasing needs, developing technology, newly emerged criteria and many more reasons are pushing professions to penetrate; this general movement can be seen and/or required less in some professions and more in others. Professions that are at a very critical point about self-updating and modernizing, are also in a direct relation to human life and they get more affected by positive and negative conditions of the modern world. It is no longer possible for professionals to continue their professions without collaborating with other disciplines or benefit from their backgrounds. This type of collaboration always provides an interaction between disciplines. As a requirement of the information age, ways of accessing to information have increased and it became very easy to obtain information; these stimulate the interaction. Thus, professions become aware of and affect each other. In every part of life, everywhere that human life is in question, this situation becomes more specialized for architecture/interior architecture; it comes into prominence more than others. It is well known that every activity in life and professions which these activities are related create a common base in architecture. Development of an architectural project depends on projects, reports and technical data from different disciplines. Moreover, in some very special projects, it may become a must to get support from sociologists, psychologists, environmentalists, economists, etc. In this case, it becomes impossible to isolate contemporary architecture from other disciplines by evaluating it in an absolute formal way; this makes it impracticable to consider architecture in its own shell. Architecture/interior architecture that is fed by many other disciplines, also collaborate with biology substantially which helps architecture to gain biomimetic designs features. Biomimicry an interdisciplinary approach in many fields is fed by biology. This makes it possible to transfer biological designs into every discipline with a scientific approach where sustainable and resilient solutions are required. Biomimicry plays a very big role in bringing two unconnected terms together; technology and nature. Considering this role as an interdisciplinary approach in architecture puts a substantial contribution to the creation of sustainable designs. In this paper, biomimicry and collaboration of biology with architecture will be scrutinized in an interdisciplinary perspective.

    Doğadan Esinlenmiş Tasarımlar: Tasarım Stratejisi Olarak Biyomimikri
    (2015) KARABETÇA, ALİYE RAHŞAN; 257590
    “Milyonlarca yıllık evrimden sonra, doğa neyin çalıştığını, neyin uygun olduğunu ve neyin uzun ömürlü olduğunu öğrenmiştir” (Benyus, M.J., 2013). Doğanın evrimi, birçok verimli ve etkili biyolojik mekanizmaları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Doğadan öğrenmek insanoğlunun var oluşundan beri sürdürdüğü bir gelenektir. Hayatı ve kullanılan mekânları geliştirmek için bu mekanizmaları taklit etmek, verimli ve etkili çözümler sağlayabilir, çünkü her şeyin temelinde olduğu gibi tasarımın da temelinde doğa vardır. İnsanoğlu, daha iyi çözümler yaratabilmek için her olasılığı kullanarak doğayı taklit etmiştir. Son yıllarda teknolojinin de hızlı gelişmesiyle birlikte, bu taklidi kullanma çabası önemli bir ilerleme kaydetmiştir. Bu gelişmeler, tasarımcıları doğayı basitçe taklit etmenin ötesine taşımaktadır. Aynı zamanda biyomimikri olarak da bilinen bu kopyalama-taklit sürecinin mimaride kullanılması yapılaşmış çevrenin sürdürülebilirliğini artırabilmektedir (Mazzoleni I., Price S., 2013). Bu süreçte tasarımcıların doğayı öğrenebilmesi için destek alması gereken disiplin olarak biyoloji ve biyomimikri öne çıkmaktadır. Doğanın dehasını maksimum seviyede kullanabilmek için biyoloji ve mimarlık arasında bir köprü kurulmalıdır. İki disiplin arasındaki bu etkileşimi sağlamak, doğanın icatlarının tasarım kabiliyetine dönüştürülebileceği anlamına gelmektedir. Aslında yeni olmayan ama son yıllarda oldukça popüler olan biyomimikrinin mimarlıkta ve iç mimarlıkta bir şekil kaynağı olarak değil aynı zamanda bir tasarım stratejisi olarak kullanılması sürdürülebilir tasarımların oluşmasını sağlayacaktır. Bu bildiri, biyomimikrinin bir tasarım stratejisi olarak kullanılmasıyla elde edilmiş mimari tasarımların ortaya çıkışlarını ve elde edilen yeşil enerjili eko-tasarımları anlatmaktadır.

    Integration of Biomimicry Design Thinking And The Green Building Certification Systems: Leed as a Case Study
    (2018-05) KARABETÇA, ALİYE RAHŞAN; 257590
    21st century which is called Anthropocene age by scientist, also known as the age of modern man, has dramatically decreased the sustainable living conditions of planet earth. Each country whether developed or not, is struggling with the devastating effects of climate change, environmental pollution, decrease in non-renewable resources, etc. Thus, a demand for sustainable built environment has arose since the beginning of this age and it is growing every day. However, this demand is barely met by some initiatives which are dealing with the green building certification systems, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). It was established by united states green building council in 1993. It provides and encourages architects to design buildings that function more efficiently in terms of energy saving and lowering carbon footprint [1]. There are almost hundred thousand buildings all over the world using LEED and more than two million square meters certified every day including neighborhoods, existing buildings and new constructions [2]. Nevertheless, this certification system can be improved by integrating biomimicry design criteria into the requirements list that would develop specially the design stage of projects. This integration can lead designers to create energy efficient buildings which would decrease the impact of climate change on earth. Biomimicry is a new field of science that deals with transferring nature’s genius into man-made designs. It leads designers to use principles and strategies of functions of natural designs to solve human challenges. The main goal of both green building certification system and biomimicry is actually the same. Although biomimicry is for all fields, they both are required for better built environments. They aim to save and protect the nature; one is very limited in terms of specific parts of built environment, the other is very wide offering nature’s endless solutions to every part of built environment. This paper aims to study the methods and consequences of integration of biomimicry design thinking and green building certification system to develop a new design stage which would concentrate on logic of use of biology and basic requirements of certification criteria of LEED.

    Green Design; An Environmental Concern or an Aesthetic Approach
    (2018-10) KARABETÇA, ALİYE RAHŞAN; 257590
    The objective of this paper is to emphasize the importance and ethical concern of the green building design and its effects on climate change. It also aims to reveal the role of concerned designers in terms of conserving non-renewable resources and protecting environment in the field of architecture. Each designer (architects, interior architects, engineers, city planners, etc.) must find out what exactly an appropriate green design is. Apart from being an aesthetic approach, green design should be considered as an environmental concern. In his book Ecodesign, Ken Yeang explains that green design must follow the systematic rules of ecological design and it must also compete with other designs economically and must have outstanding quality in terms of user performance (Yeang, 2006).

    Conversion of Memory in Architecture and Culture of İstiklal Street Between 2005- 2019
    (2019-09) Sav, Sedef; KARABETÇA, ALİYE RAHŞAN; 257590
    Beyoğlu which was called “Pera”, meaning “other”, “other side, “opposite side”, by Genoese and Venetians, and plays an important role in the existence of İstanbul, had faced different transformations in different periods. The main route of this district called as İstiklal Street (Grand Rue de Pera) had been affected by this transformation in cultural and architectural aspects. The rapid progress of this transformation, especially between the years 2005-2019, brought about a negative conversion. This conversion had led to a serious architectural and memory destruction of the Street and this situation is still continuing. The fact that this damage/transformation cannot be sustained/avoided in terms of cultural memory and belonging prevents future generations from establishing a bond with their past. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to underline the reasons for triggering this process instead of preventing the original values of İstiklal Street which is an important data for user profile and memory. Within this scope, the paper draws attention to negativity by emphasizing the main reasons for changing the cultural structure, demography, and architecture of İstiklal Street. In this paper, a comparison was made between street images of 2005 and 2019 to ascertain how the architectural conversions were made based on façades and functions. The changes that happened between 2005- 2019 over the existing, destructed and new buildings were discussed. The relationship between functional changes in buildings, design approaches for new constructions and user profiles were evaluated within the scope of memory and transformation. In addition, a profound literature review was conducted and it was investigated whether there were connections between the previous transformations of the street and the dates mentioned in the paper. Between 1942 and 1964, the migration policies applied to non-Muslims originating from the inclusion of capital tax, the establishment of the state of Israel, the events of September 6-7 and the Cyprus problems led to a major transformation of the street in cultural terms. This also effected the user profile and function of the abandoned buildings. Besides, while the entire Istanbul was transformed by the demolitions of 1957-58 and 1986-88, the Beyoğlu district was significantly affected by this change both in positive and negative ways. With the closure of İstiklal Street to the traffic and re-start of the tram service, architecture and culture on the street started to revive (inal, 2014). Nowadays, this transformation is made in different ways and it is aimed to change the cultural memory, so the architecture of the street has changed in this direction. This study provides information on how the architectural and cultural changes can continue in the future that the street has undergone so far.

    A biomimetic research on how cities can mimic forests to become sutainable and smart
    (2020-06) KARABETÇA, ALİYE RAHŞAN
    In 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.
