Ecological Strategies for Designing Halys River: a Landscape of Flux
(Scibulcom Ltd, 2019) Yıldırım-Okta, Birge
Natural and manmade disasters led to the emergence of new approaches in designing our environment in the postindustrial era. Modern technological infrastructures failure to respond to the challenges from environmental hazards led the designers to restructure the landscape. This in turn, led to a shift in landscape architecture, planning and architecture discipline. In the past decade green infrastructure has been a topic for debate among practitioners and theorists across different disciplines, ranging from architecture, urban planning, engineering to geography and biology. The discourse appears to be an operational and promising tool in planning, designing resilient eco-system based infrastructures. This paper discusses an interdisciplinary design proposal for Sivas, Halys River in a landscape urbanistic manner. The aim of the project was to create a cultural and ecological corridor in Sivas, Turkey that is adaptable to changes and dynamics over time, considerate to ecosystem and human conditions. In the light of discourse of green infrastructure the paper derives adaptive design strategies for ecological urbanism.
Writing Model Making and Inventing in Paul Scheerbart’s the Perpetual Motion Machine
(Taylor & Francis, 2018) Ekinci, Sevil Enginsoy
First published in German in 1910 and in English as late as 2011 Das Perpetuum Mobile: Die Geschichte einer Erfindung/The Perpetual Motion Machine: The Story of an Invention narrates the German visionary writer and artist Paul Scheerbart’s (1863-1915) obsessive efforts to produce numerous models of a fantastic machine. Written in the form of a diary between 1907 and 1910 and supplemented by twenty-six diagrams the book is a record of his “flights of imagination” manifested in a series of fanciful futures to be created by the machine. As such it is a documentation of this process as well as of his emotional state oscillating between hope and dissappointment laughter and frustration. While reading the book as “the story of an invention” this chapter traces Scheerbart’s use of the words “story” and “machine” synonymously meaning an “invented story/machine” and focuses on the role played by model making in this process of “invention.” Here it draws attention to the central place occupied by architecture in Scheerbart’s futuristic scenarios through the models of “a colossal art of space” to be exhibited in “a gigantic architectural park” covering “the entire Harz region” in Germany in a scale “larger than anything we have witnessed in architecture up to now.” Accordingly the chapter aims to discuss the book’s relevancy to today’s architectural education as a design tool of writing/making the model of an architectural “story”/“machine” which documents its own process of “invention.” © 2018 Taylor & Francis.

Computational Modeling and Analysis of Seljukid Muqarnas in Kayseri
(ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY1601 Broadway, 10th Floor, NEW YORK, NY 10019-7434) Gökmen, Sabri; Başık, Altan; Aykın, Yusuf; Alacam, Sema
As a historical and ornamental building element, muqarnas are widely found among the entrances of madrasas, mosques, and hans in Anatolian Seljuk architecture. In Kayseri (Turkey), muqarnas structures are characterized by symmetrical distribution of patterned geometric layers that presents computational rules for the design and construction of these ornamental structures. The presented research focuses on 12 unique muqarnas structures that are analyzed through a computational methodology combining photogrammetry, three-dimensional modeling, symmetry, and graph theory. The computational analysis shows that Seljukid muqarnas exhibit patterned branching of the symmetry axis between layers radiating from their geometric center. Using the modeled samples, the article analyzes inherent symmetry rules and growth patterns while offering a novel way of studying, modeling, and categorizing muqarnas.

Noise Annoyance During Covid-19 Lockdown: a Research of Public Opinion Before and During the Pandemic
(Acoustical Society of America, 2020) Şentop Dümen, Ayça; Şaher, Konca
Strict lockdown strategies to stop the spread of COVID-19 have caused a decrease in environmental noise levels and introduced new noise conditions in dwellings. The present study has investigated the impact of the forced lockdown in Turkey on noise annoyances due to traffic, neighbors, and personal dwellings, as well as the concern of being heard by neighbors, and overall dwelling satisfaction in an online questionnaire. The stress and anxiety levels of respondents were also investigated. The survey obtained 1053 respondents. Additionally, environmental noise levels were measured over 24-h at two locations and compared with results before the pandemic. The results clearly exhibit that environmental noise levels and annoyance due to the noise levels dropped significantly. The annoyance drop was larger in previously noisier environments than previously tranquil locations. Noise annoyance due to neighbor noise did not change significantly; however, noise annoyance due to one's own dwelling increased. The results also confirmed an overall increase in dwelling satisfactions indicating a correlation between dwelling satisfaction and lower environmental noise levels. Although the results confirmed that noise annoyance was positively correlated with stress and anxiety levels, the change of annoyance between before and during lockdown was shown to be independent from the stress and anxiety level
Acoustic Design Guidelines for Adults With Intellectual Disability
(European Acoustics Association EAA, 2014) Şaher, Konca; Nijs, Lau; Hordijk, Truus
This paper concentrates on the acoustic design aspects of the living rooms in institutions for adults with intellectually disability. In the living rooms for adults with ID there is even a higher stress on the acoustics since they are more dependent on the acoustical environment compared to normal population. Moreover prevalence of hearing impairment among adults with ID is around 30% and in most cases it is not even recognised. Therefore the rooms for adults with ID need to be designed by taking into account the requirements of the hearing impaired. They need more favourable room acoustics to improve their communication and participation. This paper investigates three main themes: 1) Investigation of impact of building design tools on acoustical quality parameters and determination of most appropriate acoustical quality indicator that translates best into architectural practice for living rooms for adults with ID. 2) Investigation of the relation between user satisfaction and absorption amount in rooms for adults with ID by listening tests prepared from auralizations. 3) Development of architectural/acoustical design guidelines to provide optimal absorption amount for living rooms for adults with ID.

Homeomorphic Architecture: Radial Prisons and Contracted Graphs
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020) Gökmen, Sabri
This paper introduces a type of graph called 'homeomorphically irreducible tree' (HIT) and explores its analytical and computational aspects in the architecture of radial prison plans. As a theoretical introduction, HITs are first diagrammatically presented using a taxonomy of 20 different radial prisons. Using this analysis, a generative algorithm that transforms plan connectivity to a simple sequential numeric representation is developed. This method is applied as an architectural plan generator that is parametrically explored using graphs as building skeletons with configurable wing typologies. The aim of the paper is to lay the foundation of a new graph-based approach for the morphogenetic study of symmetry in architectural plans.

Filling an Urban Void as a ‘public Interior’ in Balıkesir; Contemporary Intervention Into Historic Context Through Interior Space
(İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, 2017) Çetin, Murat
The paper argues the role of interior spaces in linking with the urban open space configuration. The interior space is discussed as extensions of urban spaces and urban spaces as extensions of interiors with specific reference to a case study selected in Balıkesir urban fabric. Under the light shed by these discussions, the paper questions the certainty of boundries between exterior and interior, thus between interior design and architecture. While the first axis of discussion focuses on the duality between interior and exterior, the second axis of discussion concentrates on the insertion of new and contemporary architectural and spatial features into an existing and historic context. The Museum and Library of Photography project in Balıkesir, which is selected as case study, is based on a VOID connecting what exists with what disappeared long ago in a totally new combination. Consequently, paper shows that architectural identity of the existing (and sometimes disappeared) heritage is reproduced via injection of this new hybrid (interior-exterior) into the very heart of the existing urban fabric. The hybrid design of the VOID intends to resolve the tensions between the contrasting features of restoration and intervention merely by understanding the conditions and fundementals of the process of historical layering in the town.

Railway Heritage of Istanbul and the Marmaray Project
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2012) Erkan Kösebay, Yonca
This study explores the significance of Istanbul's railway heritage and discusses the criteria for evaluating the historical importance architectural value and social issues surrounding the city's rail system leading into an examination of the consequences of the Marmaray Project. The Marmaray Project is a commuter rail system designed to unify Istanbul's two independent rail transportation systems and it will connect Halkali on the European side with Gebze on the Asian side of the city. With the beginnings of rail construction in the 1870s the waters of the Bosphorus separated the Oriental Railway on the European side from the Anatolian and the Baghdad Railway preventing a direct connection between Europe and Asia. The Marmaray Project will actualize this universal long desired dream via an under water tunnel. However the design of the project bears significant risks for the city's railway heritage dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. At risk are structures used by travelers lodgings ateliers depots water closets (WC's) underpasses retaining walls bridges and old trees.

Rewriting History: Interpreting Heritage in Saint Petersburg and Istanbul
(Taylor and Francis, 2019) Erek, Ayşe Nur
Our chapter analyses the paradoxes of reconstructing and reinterpreting architectural heritage, with a focus on the phenomenon of disappearing history. We argue: In the process of multiplication of actors involved in the reconstruction and reinterpretation of heritage sites, history and historical facts are playing a dwindling role. Using two case studies—Degtyarnyy Lane, a former tram station and park in Saint Petersburg, and the Emek Cinema building and Roma Garden in Istanbul, both of which are signifiers of the overall changes in Istanbul’s central Beyoğlu district after the 2000s—this chapter investigates how the multiplication of actors affects, on the one hand, the production of new histories of the highlighted heritage sites, and how this process leads to the disappearance of history in these cities; and on the other hand, how ‘rewriting’ the histories of these sites through heritage production affects the growing securitization around these sites and thereby access to them. Which social groups are included and which are excluded from these newly recreated places and sites and their ‘historical’ narratives? The analysis takes into account the strong spatio-temporal interplay in urban heritage sites.

Extrapolating Continuous Color Emotions Through Deep Learning
(Amer Physical Soc, 2020) Ram, Vishaal; Schaposnik, Laura P.; Konstantinou, Nikos; Volkan, Eliz; Papadatou-Pastou, Marietta; Manav, Banu; Jonauskaite, Domicele; Mohr, Christine
By means of an experimental dataset, we use deep learning to implement an RGB (red, green, and blue) extrapolation of emotions associated to color, and do a mathematical study of the results obtained through this neural network. In particular, we see that males (type-m individuals) typically associate a given emotion with darker colors, while females (typef individuals) associate it with brighter colors. A similar trend was observed with older people and associations to lighter colors. Moreover, through our classification matrix, we identify which colors have weak associations to emotions and which colors are typically confused with other colors.

Rediscovering Goethe's Concept of Polarity: a New Direction for Architectural Morphogenesis
(Middle East Technical University, 2020) Gökmen, Sabri
This paper will introduce Goethe's concept of polarity to discuss its theoretical and computational implications on natural and architectural morphogenesis (1). Polarity, as a dualist principle, is found in most of Goethe's body of works, particularly in his treatise on colour and botanical writings. This concept is explored from a morphogenetic perspective to reconsider Goethe's engagement with natural sciences during Enlightenment where he transfers his ideas on form and growth to architecture. In the first part, morphogenesis as a concept for the study of organic growth is discussed that combines modern research in biology and architecture. In the second part, Goethean morphology as a unified science founded on polar principles is presented to discuss a historical perspective to morphogenesis. Here, Goethe's concept of metamorphosis is highlighted as a principle founded on polarity, formulated with alternating cycles of expansion and contraction. These concepts are explicated using an algorithmic study of leaf development to discuss its morphogenetic application to the study of form and growth in natural morphogenesis. In the last part, Goethe's morphological views are extended towards architecture within the framework of organicism where his ideas on the polarity are directed towards the aesthetic reception and formal development of the built environment. Comparing the form of two Gothic cathedrals, Laon and Noyon, the paper will offer a developmental model based on the concept of metamorphosis as an alternative trajectory for morphological research in architecture.

Experimental Experience in Design Education as a Resource for Innovative Thinking: the Case of Bruno Munari
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Orlandi Coşkun, Ayşe
Design education in general includes various design fields such as product design graphic design communication design and design in engineering. Designing as an activity captures all these various fields. Design refers basically to a problem solving method a creative problem solving approach and relevant processes. Design as an activity has always been considered as a creative tool. Design education mainly focuses on enhancing creative approaches with various 2D and 3D project based basic design studies. As the tools of designing developed in parallel with technology the core structure of the education is based on a model with creative and analytical aspects: Designerly way of thinking aims at originality and uniqueness. Today the need for innovation has become more evident than ever. The main purpose of the paper is to explore and to identify the relationship between creativity innovation and design related to design education. Bruno Munari(Milano 1907-1998) as a designer and a design educator is one of the prominent names reflecting innovation and creativity in the history of Italian Design. His innovative contribution to Italian Design is reinforced by his experimental design educator background in research for creativity. The paper aims at exploring the educational structures through history of design and design education that leads to creative thinking and nurture sustainable innovation through the case study of Bruno Munari's works as a designer and as an educator.

Facebook as a Boundary Object in Industrial Design Studio. a Sotl Study
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Oygür, Işıl; Ülkebaş, Selen Devrim
We introduced Facebook groups as instructional tools in our industrial design studio courses. One of us experienced the effects of Facebook on freshmen while the other examined it with sophomores and juniors. Our analysis of the data focused on the content of students' posts on Facebook groups informal student interviews our experiences in studios and our reflective cross-evaluation. Our comparative analysis showed that Facebook better serves as a boundary object in the later years of design education. The freshmen and partly sophomore were not able to make effective use of this medium for exchanging knowledge. From the perspective of SoTL this study not only helped us to experiment ways of advancing our pedagogy but also served as a platform for us to discuss and exchange knowledge on teaching and learning that is taking place in studio.

New Forms of Design Education
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Ozkaynak, Mine Gokce; Ust, Selin
Design has been in a period of change for the last decade but design education and more specifically design educators haven't kept up with these transformations. As a result design students continue to learn outdated methods and techniques. A designer needs to understand processes methods and mediums of design. At all of these levels the process is the same while methods may change slightly and the medium differs dramatically. Without expertise in mediums a designer is only able to facilitate what others do

Woman, Home, and the Question of Identity: a Critical Review of Feminist Literature
(Doğu Akdeniz Üniversitesi Kadın Araştırmaları ve Eğitimi Merkezi, 2013) Kılıçkıran, Didem
Much ink has been spilled over the association of women with the material and imaginary geographies of the home. In this paper, I will discuss this association with reference to the feminist literature on the home, which, in the second half of the last century, produced a fascinating critique of the home as part of a larger debate on the connection between space and place and the construction of gender relations and ideologies. I will focus particularly on how the problem of the home in feminism has been defined as one of identity, referring to some key works in feminist literature that have put forward notions of the home as a place that women have to leave behind if they are to find their identities beyond those imposed upon them by society at large. In doing this, I will also give voice to criticisms that have been raised from within feminism itself against a totally negative depiction of the home, and discuss whether it is possible to envisage a more positive image of the home in feminism in relation to women’s identities.
Mountain Bike Venue Test Event Noise Assessment London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
(Studıo D-Akustika Sro, 2016) Şaher, Konca
This article reports the results of the noise monitoring during the London 2012 Mountain Biking Test Event which was held at Hadleigh Farm. The noise monitoring was held during the Mountain Bike Test Event for two purposes: Firstly as part of the requirements of Environmental Management Plan for the Test Event to ensure that no noise disturbance was being caused and the noise levels were below the agreed criterion of 65 dB(A) at the noise sensitive receptors during the Test Event and secondly to check whether any additional mitigation measures need to be adopted for the main Olympic Event. The noise monitoring results indicate that the L-Aeq noise levels at the selected two noise sensitive receptors were below the 65 dB(A) criterion. The results confirmed the predictions that the crowd noise was not a noise nuisance during the Test Event and the results further showed that no noise nuisance at the noise sensitive receptors was caused by public adress system. The public address system to be used during the main event was very similar to the Test Event therefore it was possible to conclude that the noise nuisance from the event (public address system and spectator noise) could be assessed as being moderate to low risk during the main Games.
