A Heritage Management Model Proposal For An Integrated Conservation Of Cultural Heritage: Case Of Ordu Historical City Center
(IKSAD Publishing House, 2023) Okur, Sabiha; Mıhçıoğlu, Elif
Historic cities formed over a long period, become unique blends of different cultures and are invaluable as open-air museums. They represent their societies and their urban/architectural spaces, which are indispensable areas of social memory, worth preserving. However, especially urban pressures cause irreversible destruction in historic cities ruining the unique cultural and historical identity. In this sense, urban and architectural conservation practices are critical for more effective conservation and sustainability of the historic city. Some steps in urban and architectural conservation surely have been taken in Türkiye so far, but the concept of an effective management plan as an outcome of the contemporary conservation approach, has not yet been introduced to overcome the implementation problems in the traditional residential areas sustainably. Consequently, it is observed that the original historic architectural and urban qualities are fading away every day, through the destruction of these areas. These problems are believed to be due to the lack of an integrated heritage management system parallel to a legal framework including planning, urban and architectural conservation, as well as all stakeholders of this issue. In this context, Taşbaşı Quarter of Ordu Historic City Center is chosen as the case, in search of a solution to this widespread problem in Türkiye, to propose a heritage management system and maintain a digital database that will provide an integrated heritage management model between urban planning, urban and architectural conservation. This model and the digital database are expected to set an adaptable framework and model for similar cases in Türkiye.
From Projective Methods To Real-Time Digital Construction Of Architectural Space In First-Year Architectural Education
(Karadeniz Technical University, Faculty Of Architecture, Department Of Architecture, 2023) Ksys, Elif Sultan; Acar, Aktan
This research delves into an exploration of the boundaries and prospects inherent to traditional orthographic projection as a medium for the representation, comprehension, and exploration of space, particularly in light of approaches like collaborative spatial production within virtual reality environments. The core objective of this study is to foster a deeper understanding of projective techniques among students engaged in the creation and immersion of architectural spaces in virtual reality. Additionally, it endeavors to illuminate the potential benefits of spatial learning through the lens of embodied cognition. To this end, the study embarks on a multifaceted trajectory. It initiates with a historical overview of orthographic drawing methodologies and seeks to unravel the enduring rationale behind the continued application of a method born in the 18th century. Subsequently, the study shifts its focus towards the significance of embodied cognition in the context of spatial comprehension. In light of the observed limitations of projective methods in comprehending, representing, and exploring space within the prevailing educational landscape, there arises an imperative to contemplate the potential enrichment engendered by alternative working environments. This study presumes the utilization of the virtual reality (VR) environment as a viable solution. By immersing students within this digital space, the research endeavors to ascertain whether engaging in design activities grounded in embodied cognition can subsequently enhance students' proficiency in the domain of orthographic drawing. Finally, the research presents and interprets the outcomes derived from a series of experiments conducted among undergraduate and graduate students, anchoring its findings within a robust empirical framework.
A Cartography of Contemporary Earthen Buildings in Türkiye
(IKSAD Publishing House, 2024) Gedikli, Furkan Taha; Ruhi Sipahioğlu, Işıl; Pedergnana, Matthieu Joseph
Earthen construction techniques hold promise in fostering sustainable practices in resource utilization and environmental impact mitigation compared to conventional carbon-intensive techniques. Despite inherent challenges such as standardization issues and the pursuit of mass production characteristic of the "Industrial Revolution," earthen construction techniques have regained attention and spurred discussions on their contemporary applicability, facilitated by latest technological advancements and awareness of their sustainability.Türkiye boasts a rich heritage of earthen architecture, with contemporary practitioners continuing to innovate within this traditional craft. This study is part of on-going master thesis research that aims to assess the positioning, potential, hurdles, and underlying factors influencing the limited adoption of earthen construction methods and materials within the mainstream construction sector in Türkiye. By characterizing earth construction practices as a distinct "Niche" within the broader industry, this research seeks to elucidate and validate its status within the Turkish context.To understand this niche practice in this context, this ongoing study conducts interviews with people working in this field. Apart from the qualitative analysis of these interviews, this cartography maps the various types of modern earthen buildings in Türkiye as well as their geographical distribution. It documents the different techniques, architectural characteristics, and materials used by architects, engineers, and builders. The mapping data is attained through the structured questionnaire sent to interviewees and individuals working in the field. By achieving these objectives, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the status and potential of earthen construction practices within Türkiye's construction industry, informing future strategies for sustainable building practices in the region.

Solar-Related Performance-Oriented Digital Workflow
(IKSAD Publishing House, 2024) Deniz, Sercan; Çınar, Zelal
In the current era of global energy challenges, energy efficiency is a critical focus within architectural practices and building design. There are many current research in the field, however integration of energy efficiency as a design parameter from the initial stages of the design still appears as a challenge. Access to comprehensive climatic data during initial design stages can significantly expand design possibilities. Architects typically begin projects with limited data, relying on their expertise to explore diverse design scenarios within predefined parameters such as location, site boundaries, and client preferences. Enhancing access to environmental data empowers architects to develop design proposals aligned with energy efficiency goals. Solar -oriented design has emerged as a primary consideration in achieving energy efficiency, with the geometry of the sun playing a crucial role in design decisions regarding orientation, layout, facade, and material choices. However, implementing energyefficient design strategies presents challenges, such as the potential for late design decisions to compromise earlier energy-saving efforts. Therefore, establishing a systematic approach to the design process is essential to ensure the effectiveness of energy-efficient solutions. This study investigates necessity of the passive strategies to enhance energy efficiency in buildings and proposes their integration into the early design phase. By adopting a linear workflow, architects can effectively track and evaluate design decisions, ensuring that energyefficient design strategies are prioritized throughout the project. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of how energy-efficient design principles can be successfully implemented in architectural practice.
What Lies Beneath Our Words? Assessing The Teamwork-communication Competence
(Karadeniz Technical University, Faculty Of Architecture, Department Of Architecture, 2023) Kuday, Sena; Yazarkan, Betül; Ruhi Sipahioğlu, Işıl; Acar, Aktan; Işık Güler, Hale
The architectural design process is inherently collaborative, requiring a team effort where various disciplines contribute their specialized knowledge. Architects, as integral team members, hold the responsibility of designing the entire design process. They oversee a comprehensive examination of this process across all disciplines and design elements, ensuring a holistic approach is maintained at every scale. In contemporary practice, the evaluation of various aspects within the Integrated Design Process (IDP) assumes critical significance. This study argues that effective communication serves as the pivotal linchpin in this process. Architectural education significantly contributes to the development of these competencies. However, an analysis of educational settings in schools reveals a notable absence of collaborative teamwork involving various disciplines within current curricula. To address this gap, this research recognizes the pivotal role of communication in facilitating teamwork across multiple disciplines. It advocates for the inclusion of communication skills development courses within educational environments to enhance effective collaboration among learners from diverse disciplines. To this end, this paper reports on the research that explores the significance of communication in transdisciplinary environments. It reports the communication analysis of meetings conducted as part of a transdisciplinary project titled "Fog Catcher.”
From the Cladding Towards the Skin: A Biomimetic Perspective on the Building Envelope
(IKSAD Publishing House, 2024) Çınar, Zelal.
The mind shift brought by biological knowledge and computational thinking, together with the advancements in digital fabrication technologies, signal a shift in architecture’s relationship with nature. In the last 30 years, many of the developed computational theories and methods have been inspired by biological principles. Contemporary architecture is now intensely engaged with these theories and methods. The building envelope is at the heart of these issues, as the first architectural element that is perceived from outside and that interacts and engages with the environment. If architecture is explored since the industrial revolution, the evolution of the outer cover from the facade to the envelope can be observed at different scales, forms, and systems. Thinking the outer cover as an envelope implies approaching it as a whole, rather than the sum of individual components, in a similar manner with nature. This research explores architecture’s changing relationship with nature through the evolution of the building envelope since the industrial revolution. It is claimed that there had been three important benchmarks of this evolution, the first one can be considered as the structures of Antoni Gaudi. Second benchmark is the shell structures of the 1950s, which are profoundly inspired by the structures in nature. Last, the structures of Buckminster Fuller and Frei Otto, which were also developed with lessons from nature. Through the review of building envelope’s evolution, this research suggests that building envelopes share much in common with natural skins and can borrow several information from them with the use of biomimetics.

This research explores the development of first-year architecture students at Tobb University of Economics and Technology over two academic years in the Basic Design Studio. The Basic Design Studio values individuality and personal growth, aiming to enhance independence and self-assessment skills. The research method involves weekly analysis of 'Designer's Chest' content and its relationship with 'Shelter' projects, tracking changes over time. 'Shelters' are created in Minecraft Education Edition, offering self-organization space for students to gather and review experiences. 'Designer's Chests' serve as a logbook for students to document reflections and store information for future review. The study draws from educational theories like Piaget, Vygotsky, and Dewey, emphasizing the influence of preparedness, prior experiences, and the social environment on learning. The study identifies different developmental stages, such as Assimilation, Experimentation, Accordance, Chaos, Excitement, and Integration, as students adapt to architectural education. It illustrates how students evolve and adapt to architectural challenges, using various tools and software to express their ideas. The findings reveal individual trajectories and common reactions among students, shedding light on the dynamic nature of learning in design education. The study emphasizes the importance of tools like 'Designer's Chest' and 'Shelter' in monitoring student growth and provides insights for educators to enhance design education.
Outside the School: a Review of the Non-Formal Short-Term Architectural Workshops
(2021) Ruhi Sipahioğlu, Işıl; Abbas, Günsu Merin; Yılmaz, Burçin
Over the last fifteen years, apart from compulsory curricular studios, extracurricular intensive studios in architectural design (ISAD) have become a mainstream educational environment worldwide. ISADs cover an actual weight in non-formal architectural education. However, to date, there is no review on the methods, processes, or implementation of extracurricular ISADs. The field needs to enhance the visibility of workshop results with regular reporting of workshop activities to raise awareness among future professionals and the wider public. This review aims to make visible existing learning-teaching-experiencing environments and pedagogical conditions, practices, tendencies, and implementations in ISADs. The study follows three stages. It first conducts a scoping study to examine the research outputs on ISADs indexed in SCOPUS and Web of Science from January 1975 to September 2020. Second, it expands the workshop pool by including past ISADs reached via websites/papers. It codes each workshop with the codes and themes determined through the scoping study. Finally, it creates an interactive mapping detailing the following analysis: (1) Quantitative analysis of ISADs (Geographical distribution; outputs; principles, as elements creating the atmosphere and tactics); (2) Qualitative analysis to reveal the impact of workshop outputs on the interested stakeholders. The review suggests that ISADs, including their processes and outputs, contribute to the knowledge triangle in architecture by serving two fundamental roles: (1) A research-by-design activity to address socio-economic-ecological problems caused by the built environment; (2) A pioneering venture in improving the curriculum and practices of teaching and learning. Within the scope of the exigencies of the education field, this review uncovers the potential of ISADs in overcoming time-related, geographical, economic limitations; providing fresh perspectives on content and methods concerning architectural education; expanding the intellectual resources of students; enabling international collaboration between HEIs; breeding an experimental/flexible learning and research environment in the 1st and 2nd cycles to absorb ever-changing tools/methods promoted in professional/research sides of the field. This review provides the reader with an array of diverse teaching and learning practices on these non/informal grounds. The number of workshops included in this study is relatively small, therefore, researchers are encouraged to expand the number of workshops for further analysis.

Technique and Tectonic Concepts as Theoretical Tools in Object and Space Production: an Experimental Approach To Building Technologies I and Ii Courses
(Mdpi, 2024) Sönmez, Murat
By focusing on technical content, this study presents 'two experimental building technologies courses' connecting the conceptual and practical aspects of architectural object production. Built on the fundamental 'concept of making', these courses encourage students to explore their creative abilities by uniting material, form, and purpose. In the Building Technologies I course, exploration starts with the concept of 'technique', which involves the practical and theoretical knowledge necessary to shape architectural objects. This technique allows the production of architectural objects that encapsulate spaces carrying action and time, making a mere explanation of space creation insufficient. Thus, in the Building Technologies II course, the focus shifts to the 'tectonic' concept, which involves creating coherent spatial entities within a single structural system. The two courses aim to equip students with the ability to develop their unique knowledge and methods for construction before advancing to more theorised Building Technologies courses. Students are encouraged to engage with materials to uncover their potential, experiment with forms to achieve design goals, and personalise construction processes. This proposal advocates for foundational construction courses built on intuitive knowledge to replace traditional rational knowledge courses. Our study presents the methodologies and outputs of the proposed Building Technologies courses as a basis for ongoing construction courses.

A New Understanding of Resilience in Architecture: Learning From Disruptions
(Caleidoscopio, 2022) Doğan, Merve Nur; Öztoprak, Zelal
With a common meaning of the ability to a system or entity to bounce back in the face of a disturbance, resilience has multiple definitions. The term applied to the dif- ferent areas from particular disciplinary perspectives and investigated under sever- al frameworks that are specific to the discipline and the disruption considered. This paper argues that disruption is one of the essential drivers of any discussion on resil- ience and suggests that a framework for resilience in architecture requires considera- tion of long-term disruptions, as well as the instant ones, with tangible and intangi- ble aspects. In this context, this paper aims to develop a comprehensive understand- ing of disruptions that buildings face. It extends current approaches to resilience in buildings, which mainly focus on collapse prevention and hazard mitigation, by ex- plicitly considering the protection of functions and the continuous availability of ser- vices and the disruptions other than hazardous events. It proposes a framework of disruptions in buildings that includes changing cultural and economic context with the changes in the user needs, technology, environment, legal regulations.
Simulating Passive Ventilation Techniques By Using Different Software
(Caleidoscopio, 2022) Dönmez, Burak; Elias-Ozkan, Soofia Tahira
The ever increasing negative impacts of the global warming phenomenon on nature, environment, and people can no longer be ignored (Parry et al, 2007). While an im- portant factor causing this increase is the increasing amount of energy consumption and the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One of the sources for this in- crease in energy consumption in the world is the building sector, where construction, operation, and maintenance activities account for approximately 40% of the energy demand, and 45% of the global carbon emission (Calautit et al, 2016). On the other hand, the energy demand for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, which are a part of the building operation ac- tivities, is more than 40% of the total energy usage (Chenari et al, 2016). This situ- ation is aggravated further in regions with extreme climates, because of the need to provide thermal comfort to the occupants; i.e. heating in cold climates and air condi- tioning (AC) in hot climates. Since in such climates people spend most of their time in conditioned spaces, their indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption are both important for human health and for the current energy problem. Consequent- ly, indoor air quality, thermal comfort, occupant behaviour, and the building’s ener- gy performance have a direct relationship with its energy consumption (Li, 2013). A study into traditional buildings reveals that passive solutions for providing thermal comfort are quite successful in reducing or even doing away with the need for ener- gy consumption. For example, in hot climates, traditional/natural ventilation tech- niques are useful in reducing cooling loads in buildings, while providing healthier IAQ, concurrently. However, if the most appropriate technique/ technology is not se- lected, its application can be quite costly. On the other hand, it is possible to simu- late the various options on a virtual model of the proposed building by using related software. Hence, this study begins with the investigation of traditional passive ven- tilation techniques, which have been used since ancient times; such as solar chim- neys, wind catchers, underground air passages, and atria. Simulating these passive SIMULATING PASSIVE VENTILATION TECHNIQUES BY USING DIFFERENT SOFTWARE 244 strategies is a complex exercise using computational fluid dynamics (CFD); there- fore, building 2 simulation strategies that can be used for evaluating the aforemen- tioned passive ventilation techniques virtually, will be studied. To this end, a general overview of the problems encountered in CFD based energy simulations will be in- vestigated; and case studies on the application of traditional passive ventilation tech- niques through various software will be examined. The aim of this research is to de- termine and select the most efficient methods and techniques for both passive ven- tilation and simulation of their applications, through a review of the related liter- ature. It is expected that this study will be helpful in conducting future research on the feasibility of adapting traditional architectural techniques that require less cool- ing/ heating energy for providing thermal comfort, even when they are located in ex- treme climates. In conclusion, this study examines the benefits of traditional passive ventilation techniques and their adaptation to current architecture by using energy simulation software for predicting the most appropriate solution.
