Spatialities between property and the commons: an interval of tolerance
(Routledge, 2024) Çetin, Deniz; Şenturer, Ayşe
This paper examines the relations of 'space' with 'property' and 'commons'. Property is an exclusionary mechanism that regulates human relationships through space based on ownership, boundary, and control. Contrarily, the commons is a spatial practice of encounter, collaboration, and sharing, open to all kinds of participation of the multitude. With a research methodology grounded in the principle of 'tolerance', this study questions the spatialities between property and the commons, with or without coexistence and communication. To achieve this, a diagrammatical method for 'a theoretical reading over an interval' is generated, which enables a debate on the property and the commons over a conceptual graph of connections of 'spatial tendencies', 'theoretical structures', and 'spatial activism'. The 'interval of tolerance' graph reveals the connections as a tolerance environment for encountering differences and ensuring spatial relations. Thus, the expansion of networks of connections means the expansion of tolerance. The study concludes that the interval of tolerance narrows towards property but broadens towards the commons, which means spatial toleration is high in the commons, but low in property.
Use of language to generate architectural scenery with AI-powered tools
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Karahan, Hanım Gülsüm; Aktaş, Begüm; Bingöl, Cemal Koray
The quality of communication with a computer impacts how the designer performs during the design process. Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) empowers the designer by expanding the solution space using the expertise from previous knowledge. However, the developments in AI-powered design tools mainly focus on visual and spatial enhancements. In the last decade, AI-powered design tools mostly experimented with image transformation models (GANs) to provide fast insights to designers using learned experiences, simulations, or datasets. The studies on the design process using verbal language with the help of AI are limited. Therefore, designers’ capacity to communicate with intelligent machines would lead us to envision the future of AI-powered design tools. In design practice, designers develop individual and contextual studies through digital tools. This study investigates the process of architectural visual generation and verbal communication to describe architectural images by architecture graduates with prior experience or no experience in prior with Midjourney. The research focuses on the designers’ semantic language during the design process with the AI-powered tool and analysis of the verbal part of the communication. The results of this study show that participants’ first impressions of the image and how they express their impressions through description do not correspond with how Midjourney interprets those descriptions. Furthermore, architects’ image generation process using the tool is nonlinear. As architects develop a deeper understanding of changing modes of interactions, they are more likely to benefit from AI-powered tools as collaborative entities.
An ontological assessment proposal for architectural outputs of generative adversarial network
(Emerald Publishing, 2023) Uzun, Can; Cangür, Raşit Eren
Purpose: This study presents an ontological approach to assess the architectural outputs of generative adversarial networks. This paper aims to assess the performance of the generative adversarial network in representing building knowledge. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed ontological assessment consists of five steps. These are, respectively, creating an architectural data set, developing ontology for the architectural data set, training the You Only Look Once object detection with labels within the proposed ontology, training the StyleGAN algorithm with the images in the data set and finally, detecting the ontological labels and calculating the ontological relations of StyleGAN-generated pixel-based architectural images. The authors propose and calculate ontological identity and ontological inclusion metrics to assess the StyleGAN-generated ontological labels. This study uses 300 bay window images as an architectural data set for the ontological assessment experiments. Findings: The ontological assessment provides semantic-based queries on StyleGAN-generated architectural images by checking the validity of the building knowledge representation. Moreover, this ontological validity reveals the building element label-specific failure and success rates simultaneously. Originality/value: This study contributes to the assessment process of the generative adversarial networks through ontological validity checks rather than only conducting pixel-based similarity checks; semantic-based queries can introduce the GAN-generated, pixel-based building elements into the architecture, engineering and construction industry.
The fractal approach in the biomimetic urban design: Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher
(MDPI, 2023) Gertik, Ayşe; Karaman, Aykut
Biomimetic design process approaches have been emphasized systematically as a result of works among disciplines of current technology and biological science. In order to find solutions for a decrease in biodiversity, pollution, and issues of the ecosystem, the nature experience shows itself in areas of biomimetic products, architecture, and urban designs in which nature-focused invasions are basically being imitated. Nature-focused designs have set their own framework by examining forms of different nature dynamics (scale, function, formation process) by presenting a sustainable environment. It can be seen that designs are made real by adhering to the resolution of forms, understanding, and interpretation of nature and by embracing fractal designs with the effort of creating a sustainable environment. In this study, emphasis was placed on revealed nature-based design approaches. The article addresses biomimetic design processes, reveals the role of fractal parameters in the design process, and examines the use of biomimetic approaches. By drawing attention to the importance of studying and understanding these internal dynamics, the contribution of natural inspiration and fractal concepts to the design process is examined. We examine research related to the concept of biomimetics, creation/development of conceptual proposals, and analysis of the established theoretical proposal through selected urban design examples in order to determine the respective overlaps between these areas. Our study takes the form of an analysis of the formal organization of living things together with a formal analysis focusing on the design principles. We try to analyze the design principles and the changes in the principles, and discuss the resulting data within the framework of these concepts. The urban designs of Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher, who are important names of the 20th century, were examined in line with the findings obtained in terms of biomimesis levels, namely, the organism level, behavior level, ecosystem level, and functional level. Comparisons of urban design approaches are made using the meta-analysis method with respect to findings obtained as a result of an examination of the golden ratio, modular system, fractal, and parameter concepts of urban design. For this reason, when the fractal concept, which is one of the dynamics of biomimetic-oriented nature, is handled with biomimetic levels and its contribution to the design processes is investigated, we are able to determine that it has important parameters in terms of sustainability. This study aims to contribute to the field of industrial products and urban design disciplines in architectural design.
The assessment of greyfields in relation to urban resilience within the context of transect theory: Exemplar of Kyrenia-Arapkoy
(2023) Akansu, Vedia; Karaman, Aykut
Greyfields are construction sites that emerge from the expansion of cities towards rural settings. They are unused structures in settlement areas that negatively impact the habitats and lead to ecologically, economically, and socially problematic zones. This study aims to examine the Greyfield problem, which emerges as one of the outcomes of urban sprawl, within the context of Transect Theory and urban resilience. We analyze the Greyfield problem in the Arapkoy rural settlement, which is located along the north coastline of Kyrenia, Cyprus. This study presents the impact of Greyfield sites on environmental, social, and economic values within the framework of Transect Theory. Thus, a road map for the redevelopment of Greyfields into public use is put forward to be used for future planning activities, which is a necessity in enabling urban resilience.
A statistical assessment of Sinan's central domed mosques
(2022) Uzun, Can
This paper uses a statistical approach to assess the proportional relations between 47 central-domed mosque plans of the architect Sinan. The statistical method is a feature selection method that demonstrates both the significant as well as the redundant features within a dataset by conducting correlation and lasso regression analyses. The analysis dataset contains 16 building elements present in each central domed mosque plan, selected according to Sinan's mosque ontology. The correlation analysis demonstrates 72 significant correlations; the lasso regression shows seven essential features in relation to the area of the central space. The study contributes to the field with an evaluation of both Sinan's high- and low-level design decisions by presenting a statistical assessment methodology of a historical architectural dataset. Results show that Sinan sees the design of a mosque as both a structural and architectural design problem.
Kamusal açık alanlarda mekan kalitesi araştırması: Beşiktaş İskele Meydanı ve çevresi örneği
(Kent Akademisi, 2021) Erdönmez, Ebru
The spatial quality of urban public spaces is determined by the interaction of those areas with their surroundings. Although public open spaces are an important element of the urban environment, their physical characteristics that relate to the city change over time. Examining the physical and environmental characteristics of the changing urban public spaces and the dimension of their use is a starting point for the continuation of the public values of that place. The concept of quality in the urban environment provides measurement and evaluation in subjects such as activities related to urban space, usage characteristics, spatial diversity, social and physical facilities. In this study, as one of the active and central public circles of Istanbul, the physical and historical transformations in the Beşiktaş coastal environment and the square are examined in the context of public open spaces and urban activities in the physical environment and the spatial quality of the open public space is evaluated.
Anıtsal yapıların yeniden kullanımında işlevsel adaptasyonun, mekânsal analiz yolu ile değerlendirilmesi; Kayseri Sahabiye Medresesi
(2016) Yaldız, Esra; Asatekin, N Gül
Anıtsal yapılar, toplumun zamanla değişen yaşam biçimi, yaşam biçimine bağlı farklı istek ve ihtiyaçlar sonucu özgün işlevlerini kaybetmektedirler. Anıtsal yapıların, korunarak kullanılabilmeleri ve kullanımın devamlılığı; yapının taşıdığı değerlerin ve özgün niteliklerinin korunduğu, yeni işlev-özgün mekân arasındaki dengenin kurulduğu yeni işlevler verilerek kullanılmalarıyla mümkün olmaktadır. Yeni kullanım ile mekânların, yeni işlevin ihtiyaçlarına cevap vermesi, yeni işlevin sürekliliği, dolayısıyla yapının sürdürülebilirliği açısından önemlidir. Korumanın sürdürülebilir olması için yapının yeni kullanıcılarının ve işlevinin gereksinimlerine optimum düzeyde cevap verebiliyor olması; yeni işlev-anıtsal yapı adaptasyonunun sağlanması gerekmektedir. Bu adaptasyon düzeyinin belirlenebilmesi, yeni işlevin mekânsal ve eylemsel gerekliliklerinin ortaya koyulması yeni işleve uygun olup olmadığının değerlendirilmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Değerlendirme sonuçları sonraki uygulamalara veri oluşturacak, yeni işlevin seçiminde de fayda sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada "Kitapçılar Çarşısı" olarak kullanılan "Kayseri Sahabiye Medresesi'nin yeni işleve adaptasyon düzeyi, mekânsal analiz yöntemi ile araştırılmıştır. Açık avlulu ve tek katlı plan şemasına sahip olan medresenin Kitapçılar Çarşısı olarak kullanımında, mekânsal anlamda medresenin özgün plan şemasının, mimari kompozisyonunun ve mekânsal özelliklerinin değiştiği; yapının bünyesinde yer alan özgün mekânlarına yapılan müdahaleler ile yapının tarihi kimliği, estetik, belge ve özgünlük değerlerinin zedelendiği tespit edilmiştir.
Mimari tasarım eğitiminde alternatif yaklaşımlar: Bir mekân tasarımı stratejisi olarak “parazit mimari”
(2018) Yorgancıoğlu, Derya; Güray, Tayibe Seyman
Bu çalışmanın amacı mimari tasarım stüdyosunda mimarlık ürününün kentsel mekânla kurduğu diyaloğun, mekânın parazitik bir şekilde yeniden sahiplenildiği ve anlamlandırıldığı tasarım yaklaşımları bağlamında ele alındığı projenin ürünlerinin paylaşılmasıdır. Parazit mimari konusunun bir mekan tasarımı stratejisi olarak ele alındığı 3 haftalık bir tasarım projesinin ürünleri üzerinde durulan çalışmada, mimari parazitlerin biçimlenişi ve kent içindeki yayılmaları strüktürel, çevresel, deneyimsel bağlamları gözetilerek analiz edilmiş ve mekânın yeniden kullanabilme potansiyelleri sorgulanmıştır. Günümüzde mimarlık literatüründe yer bulan parazit mimari konusu, kendi yaşamını devam ettirme savıyla, var olan kentsel mekânlara, yapılara ya da altyapı elemanlarına eklemlenerek nüfuz eden, onlardan yararlanarak tek taraflı faydacı bir ilişki kuran, esnek, adapte edilebilir, geçici ama sürdürülebilir bir mekânsal yaklaşımı tarif etmektedir. Parazit mimari ev sahibi yapıya eklemlenirken, yeni bir program getirerek, farklı işlevsel olasılıklar ortaya koyarak, hem yapısal hem de deneyimsel anlamda yeni bir var olma biçimi tanımlamaktadır. Bu çerçevede mimarinin kalıcı olma savına ve durağanlığına alternatif olacak şekilde geçici ya da göçebe mekânlar ortaya koymakta, bu mekânlarda hayat bulan eylemler yeni yaşam biçimlerini doğurmaktadır. Bu çalışmada parazit mimarinin kentsel mekânda daha önce farkında olunmayan yeni mekânsal olasılıkları görünür hale getiren tasarım stratejisinin mimari tasarım stüdyosunda öğrenme sürecine katkıları üzerinde durulmuştur. Alternatif mekânsal potansiyelleri sorgulatan bu tasarım stratejisinin amacı, kriterleri ve yapısal ve kentsel ölçekte ortaya koyduğu değerler 2. sınıf mimarlık öğrencileri tarafından ele alınmış, kendi deneyimledikleri kentsel mekanlar üzerinden parazit mimari ürününe ilişkin yer önerilerini program önerileriyle ilişkisini kurarak belirlenmiş, kentsel kullanıcılarının kimler olacağı irdelenmiş, ve yerle kurulan ilişkinin deneyim olgusu üzerinden nasıl tanımlanabileceği araştırılmıştır.

(2018) Yorgancıoğlu, Derya; Tunalı, Sevinç; Çetinel, Meltem; Kırdar, Gülce; Aşık, M. Aygün
Eğitim kurumlarında öğrenmeyi destekleyecek etkenlerden bir tanesi öğrenme mekânının tasarımı konusudur. Bu çalışmada tasarım kavramı eğitim programlarının etkili bir şekilde uygulanabilmesi için çevre/ortam şartlarının düzenlenmesi eylemi anlamında kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı yükseköğretimde disiplin bazlı olarak öğrencilerin ve akademisyenlerin daha etkili öğrenme/ öğretme deneyimleri edinmelerini destekleyecek mekânsal özelliklerin belirlenmesi ve bu çerçevede bir öğrenme mekânı değerlendirme modeli geliştirilmesidir. Çalışmada, eğitim mekânının tasarımı konusunun eğitimin her düzeyinde öğrenmeyi destekleyecek alanlardan biri olduğu vurgulanırken, üniversite kampüslerinde öğrenme/öğretme deneyimleri ile bu deneyimlerin gerçekleştiği mekânlar arasındaki doğrudan ilişki ele alınmaktadır. İlgili literatürde öğrenme mekânı konusu 2000’li yılların başından itibaren eğitim araştırmaları ve mimarlık alanında çok sayıda bilimsel çalışmanın konusu olmuştur. Bu çalışmalar, mekânın yenilikçi öğrenme tanımları ve öğrenme stratejileriyle ilişkilendirilerek yeniden kurgulanması üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Öğrenme mekânı salt fiziksel değil, pedagojik unsurlar da gözetilerek irdelenmektedir. Öğreten ve öğrenen profillerinin değişmekte olduğu günümüzde, mekân-pedagoji ilişkisi, üniversite kampüslerinde değişen öğrenme/öğretme ihtiyaçlarına cevap verecek yeni mekânların tasarlanması konuları daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Esnek, değişen ihtiyaçlara göre adapte edilebilir, teknoloji-destekli, öğrenen-odaklı, bireysel öğrenme kadar diyaloğa dayalı, birlikte ve yaparak öğrenmeyi destekleyecek mekânsal özellikler araştırılmaktadır. Makale kapsamında, üniversite kampüslerinde öğrenme mekânı konusu pedagojik ve mimari perspektifleri bir araya getiren bir yaklaşımla ele alınmaktadır. Öncelikle 21. yüzyılda değişen öğrenme ve öğretme kavramları irdelenmekte ve bununla paralel olarak öğrenen ve öğreten profillerinin de değiştiği vurgulanmaktadır. Makalede öğrenme sürecindeki akademisyen, öğrenci ve öğrenme eyleminin gerçekleştiği mekân üzerinde durulmaktadır. Akademisyen ve öğrencinin öğretme/öğrenme deneyimlerinin neler olduğu ve bu deneyimlerin mekândan nasıl etkilendiği pedagojik bir perspektifle irdelenmektedir. Makalede bu mekânlarda gerçekleşen öğretme-öğrenme süreçlerinin aktif katılımcıları olan akademisyen ve öğrencilerin dâhil edildiği bir nitel araştırma sonucunda, bu paydaşların farklılaşan/ortak sorunları, ihtiyaçları ve beklentileri ortaya çıkarılmaktadır.
Spatial integration and accessibility considering urban sustainability patterns: Historical Islands of Istanbul
(WITPress, 2014) Özkan, Müge Özkan; Özer, Derya Güleç
This paper aims to try to understand the determinant factors on Istanbul Princes’ Islands, based on sustainable urban patterns such as: (1) Axial Analysis; (2) Segment Analysis; (3) Correlation Analysis; which are mostly considered with the traditional accessibility measures of the Space Syntax method. Theoretically, the integration measure shows the cognitive complexity of reaching a street, and promises to ‘predict’ the pedestrian use of a street. This paper will consider the most and the least integrated areas of land use analysis concentrated on the location, size and type of different land uses; including the attractions in buildings. Terrain slope is also an important factor to evaluate walkability for these islands. Segment angular analyses have been done in different meters. These measures visualize angular integration at a radius of 400– 1000 meters, which refers to the linearity of each segment in relation to all other segments within these measurements. As for the result of footpath quality, accessibility to and within these islands has been measured to understand and compare accessibility measures. © 2014 WIT Press.
Augmented reality (AR) of historic environments: Representation of parion theater, Biga, Turkey
(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2016) Güleç, Özer, Derya; Nagakura, Takehiko; Vlavianos, Nikolaus
Similar to other fields in architecture, architectural representation involves adopting digital methods and digital data at a fast pace as in the case of cultural heritage preservation often referred to as digital heritage. Among these digital technologies, augmented reality (AR) techniques are well-known since they contribute a lot to the representation process. In addition to various sectoral uses, the use of AR tools and methods is important to study and research with regards to their integration in historical representation. This study aims to represent historical heritage in terms of photogrammetry and AR methods for the Parion Theater, Biga, Turkey, dates back to 1st-2nd century A.D. and has been under excavation since 2005. There is a need for a high-tech visualization of cultural heritage because it is important to share and visualize data for such users as historians, archaeologists, architects, tourists and so on. The paper uses MULTIRAMA, a method previously developed by ARC Team (MIT) in 2013, which aims to represent the “unseen” to such users by documenting and visualising the site for use in this user-friendly app. The method will support cultural heritage representation in the following stages: i) documentation (use of photogrammetric methods), ii) data process and modeling, (correcting 3D photogrammetric images using AR) and iii) presentation (3D reconstruction of the cultural heritage via an AR application). This holistic and low cost approach will focus on the problem of accurate reconstruction and representation in cultural heritage of Parion. © 2016, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

Movement as a design parameter: Studio works 2014-2016
(WITPress, 2017) Özer, D.G.; Kavakoğlu, A.A.
In the relationship of design and nature, movement is one of the major concepts that can be considered in every design scale. Therefore, this study tries to reveal the various integration of movement notion/concept into design problems in architectural design education, aiming to use movement data as a design parameter. Space, time and movement are a very complex triple to articulate in a design problem but at the same time, the analysis of movement notion and search for its impacts in design, stretch the students' way of design thinking. Regarding the above statement, three courses are conducted as a series of design studios, within Istanbul Kemerburgaz University (IKBU) Department of Architecture. The case studies focused in this paper based on design projects take place during ARCH 101-Basic Design, ARCH 284-Introduction to Digital Design and ARCH 301-Architectural Design courses between 2014 and 2016. These courses aim to develop a common ground for a computational way of thinking in the curricula. Regarding this aim; all three courses are designed within a similar methodology that targets the integration of (1) capturing/recording (2) analyzing, and (3) embodying/materializing/articulation of movement into design process. Finally, this paper is an experimental study on using movement data in design process of architectural design education. The results of the studios are compared within their processes, and it has been observed that when design experience increases, students tend to spend more time in materializing the design rather than capturing and analyzing the movements. © 2017 WIT Press.
Relating material selection and sustainability design
(Open House Int, 2018) Sönmez, Elif; Tavşan, Filiz
It is likely that under modem-day conditions, design, designer and materials selection would follow a parallel continuum in a cycle. The attitude in materials selection confronts us as one of the substantial values directing the design. Therefore, it should be approached in certain criteria. Today, designers have to put emphasis on not only the setting and style of the space they are designing, but also on the relationship between the materials used and the environment at the same time. In our day, designers have an intense awareness on the use of renewable resources. Hence, it is obvious that a special importance should be given to the fact that the materials are in a cycle of sustainable and recycled. In this study, 15 design offices are asked the question of "what are the factors affecting your materials decisions and what are your selection criteria in general?" by using the interview technique. As a result of interviews conducted with design offices regarding their materials selection, many criteria are identified. It is seen that although sustainability is not clearly stated by designers among these criteria, it actively takes part in the content. In the light of answers provided and interviews, the relationship between materials selection criteria and sustainability will be examined over the standpoints of 12 offices that particularly mentioned the area of sustainability.
Architecture awareness in children through cartoon
(Karabuk Univ, 2018) Sönmez, Elif; Ertaş, Şebnem; Sadıklar, Zeynep
For children, as adults of the future, to be involved in any kind of work related to city and architecture and will improve their architecture awareness. The architecture awareness provided at early ages make children stronger in understanding the settlement where they live. Cartoons can be shown as one of the most effective ways to bring architecture and urban with child cultures. Because cartoons are the dominant element during a particular period of time in children's life. Cartoons are used as a tool for many educational knowledge. Within this scope, in 2011-2012 organized by the Children and Architecture Centre at Ankara Branch under UCTEA Chamber of Architects (Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects) the "Childish Cartoons Contests" were investigated, which aim to raise awareness of children for urban and architecture at a very young age and develop a sense of scale. Two cartoons were selected which received a degree in the competition. Firstly, the theme and fiction were studied through the stages performed in cartoons and the themes and fictions were examined. Secondly, the children's behaviors were observed and then they were asked to draw a picture; furthermore, the teachers' views were received. In this project, the class of the age group of between 4 and 6 years was selected in Trabzon BonBon Kindergarten (KTU), and the experiment was performed with the class of 8 students, 4 boys and 4 girls. At the end of this study, it has been observed that cartoons can be both educational and informative tool in the relationship between children and architecture.
Non weakly regular bent polynomials from vectorial quadratic functions
(Amer Mathematical Soc, 2015) Çeşmelioğlu, Ayça; Meidl, Wilfried
The Fourier spectrum of some classes of vectorial quadratic functions is analysed. We obtain counting functions for vectorial quadratic functions with prescribed Fourier spectrum using discrete Fourier transform. Vectorial quadratic functions with prescribed Fourier spectrum are then used to construct polynomials in F-pn [x] inducing non weakly regular bent functions from F-pn. to F-p in even dimension n. With a class of vectorial 2-plateaued binomials we explicitly present one infinite class of non weakly regular bent functions with a simple representation.
Ecological architectural design education practices via case studies
(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2015) Güleç Özer, Derya; Turan, Bülent Onur
This paper presents two case studies conducted in Architectural Design education in order to meet understanding and ability criteria in MIAK (Turkish Architectural Accrediting Board) and NAAB (National Architectural Accrediting Board) for 'sustainability'. The main purpose of this clause is to reinforce students' ability to design projects that optimize, conserve or reuse natural and built resources; their ability to provide healthy environments for occupants/users, and reduce the environmental impacts of building construction and operations on future generations through such means as carbon-neutral design, bioclimatic design, and energy efficiency. First-year undergraduate architecture students provided the setting for Case Study 1. A comparative study was implemented in a basic design studio between two distinct groups (a test group and a control group) mandated specifically with awareness raising. At semester's end, both groups' projects were reviewed and evaluated via questionnaire. Third-year undergraduate architecture students provided the setting for Case Study 2. An experimental study was carried out within the context of green design education, with the purpose of reinforcing understanding and ability of sustainability issues. The overall aim was to integrate building energy performance assessment into the design studio as a design decision support tool. As in Case Study 1, there were two groups. Students in the control group followed the conventional design process, while those in the test group tested the environmental performance of their proposals with computational models and energy simulations carried out with Ecotect v5.20. The conclusion reached was that a conventional design process is inadequate for a multidisciplinary knowledge-based studio aiming to integrate the theoretical basis of the energy-ecology field with architectural studio practice.
The crucial role of "CMa" in preconstruction phases: Knowledge and skill requirement
(Isec Press, 2016) Seyman, Tayibe
Construction Management is one of a significant project delivery system in search for the project success. One of the two types of this system is "Construction Management as Advisor" which involves a professional entity called Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa) which advises the Owner from the initial decisions to the completion of the construction. There has been a growing movement towards the project success factors in the past number of decades. However conducting research on project success factors related to the preconstruction phase is not as common. The aim of this paper is to review the crucial role of CMa in the preconstruction phase and identify the knowledge and skill requirements. By doing so, this study also aims to be a reference to the owners in selecting or hiring a CMa which can be a person or an organization. Since construction management delivery system is relatively a new method in Turkey. In order to define knowledge and skill requirements; the services to be given by a CMa in American Institute of Architects contract documents are analyzed by one by. The research findings showed that 22 different services have to be given by CMa in the preconstruction phase. The skill and knowledge requirements of those services are discussed and identified accordingly.
Evaluations of cultural perception performance by users on the basis of re-use of monumental building: The case of Sivas's Buruciye Madrasah
(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2016) Yaldız, Esra; Asatekin, Nafia Gül
The purpose of a conservation act is to secure cultural heritage so that the associated cultural values can be passed on to future generations. Hence, conservation that is defined as "to keep alive" in a manner that includes yesterday, today, and tomorrow is regarded as a cultural act. One of the major justifications for conservation is to ensure the integrity of a monumental building in terms of authenticity, documental contribution, historic and architectural value, continuity, and usage. Giving a monumental building a purpose ensures an interaction with the public and preserves an object of cultural heritage. The most important point to bear in mind is the need to achieve the correct balance between conservation and functional modification. Within the framework of conservation criteria, it is critical to preserve the structure's authenticity as well as satisfy the new users. The performance level of a repurposed monumental building, which can also be defined as "cultural perception performance," will contribute to how characteristics such as authenticity, and the symbolic, historic, and cultural values of a building are perceived by users. This study is an analysis of the case of the Buruciye Madrasah, a single-story Anatolian Seljuk period building with an open courtyard plan located in the Central Anatolian Region in the city of Sivas that is now a handicrafts market and tea garden. The cultural perception performance of this cultural heritage building was assessed in order to determine if the authenticity value of the building was accurately perceived by users.
Simplifying architectural heritage visualization
(Ecaade-Education & Research Computer Aided Architectural Design Europe, 2016) Özer, Derya Güleç; Nagakura, Takehiko
Among other historical artifacts, architectural heritage is the most difficult to present in museums. There is a need for a high-tech visualization of cultural heritage since it is important to visualize, share and analyze data for stakeholders such as historians, archaeologists, architects and tourists. This study aims to represent architectural heritage in terms of photogrammetry and AR methods for the Parion Theater, Biga, Turkey, dates back to 1st-2nd century A. D. and has been under excavation since 2005. The study uses MULTIRAMA, a method previously developed by ARC Team (MIT) in 2013, which aims to represent the "unseen" to such users by visualising and documenting via an app. The method supports architectural heritage representation via the processes of, i) documentation, ii) data process and modeling, and iii) presentation. This holistic and low cost approach will focus on the problem of visualizing the digital architectural heritage, and led light to future projects of a historical visualization database throughout Turkey.
