The use of multicriteria decision methods in planning and design
(int inst informatics & Systemics, 2003) Elker, C
Fields associated with design and physical planning are appropriate domains for the use of multicriteria decision methods. Various methods are compared and "weighted summation" technique is put forward as the most suitable method for the needs of design and planning. The case of city planning is used to illustrate the methodology. The phases of "design of alternatives", "determination of objectives and criteria" and "evaluation" are described with the help of examples. The paper concludes with principles and problems in the use of multicriteria decision methods; in design and planning.

The role of aerodynamic modifications in the form of tall buildings against wind excitation
(Middle East Technical Univ, 2007) Ilgin, H. Emre; Gunel, M. Halis
Modern tall buildings go higher and higher with the advances in structural design and high strength materials. However, every advance in height comes with a new difficulty. Efficient structural systems, high strength materials, and increased height, result with decrease in building weight and damping, and increase in slenderness. On the other hand, as the height and slenderness increase, buildings suffer from increased flexibility, which has negative effects in wind loading. Flexible structures are affected by vibration under the action of wind which cause building motion, and plays an important role in the structural and architectural designs. Understandably, contemporary tall buildings are much more vulnerable to wind excitation than their predecessors. Hence, different design methods and modifications are possible in order to ensure the functional performance of flexible structures and control the wind induced motion of tall buildings. An extremely important and effective design approach among these methods is aerodynamic modifications in architecture. In this context, the authors classify these aerodynamic modifications in architecture for resisting the lateral loads. Wind safe tall building design begins with the architect, and the influence of the wind action must be taken into consideration from the very beginning of the architectural design process by considering building aerodynamics.
Caravanserais as Symbols of Power in Seljuk Anatolia
(Plus-Pisa university press, 2007) Önge, Mustafa; 17578; Mimarlık
A BSTRACT A󰀀er the establishment of the Anatolian Seljuk state in Anatolia in the 12th century, Seljuk sultans placed special importance on the development of trade. In this context, the Seljuks conquered important ports, signed agreements with foreign trade agen-cies, introduced an insurance system for merchandise and founded caravanserais on diﬀerent trade routes. e foundation of caravanserais, which were mostly donated by the members of Seljuk dynasty and aﬄuent commanders, was probably the most sig-niﬁcant improvement in this area. Medieval manuscript sources about these buildings contain some evidence of their donors’ ﬁnancial and political status. Drawing on both medieval manuscript sources and the modern historiography of Anatolian Seljuk ar-chitecture, this study examines power relationships between the Seljuk ruling class and their thoughts on various features of caravanserai buildings.

A Comparative Structural, Architectural and Cost-Based Analysis of Seismic Design Principles Applied In Reinforced Concrete Residential Buildings In Turkey
(Crc Press-taylor & Francis Group, 2010) Ozmen, C.; Özmen, Cengiz; 56939; Mimarlık
This study demonstrates that it is possible to design earthquake resistant reinforced concrete residential structures without significant compromises in the spatial quality and economic viability of the building. The study addresses architects, structural engineers and private entrepreneurs who are the important players in the Turkish construction industry. In structural analyses, a set of four parametric mathematical models are used to demonstrate the effects of increased column cross-sections and use of shear-walls on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures. Architectural analyses are carried-out through three case-studies selected from the earthquake affected city of Bolu in Turkey. Cost-based analyses demonstrated that it is possible to design earthquake resistant reinforced concrete residential buildings with a 4-6% increase in the building cost and an economically acceptable 10% decrease in profits.

Analysis of a historic masonry building
(Croatian Soc Civil Engineers-hsgi, 2011) Ozmen, Cengiz; Özmen, Cengiz; Akan, Asli Er; Unay, Ali Ihsan; 56939; 4587; Mimarlık
The paper starts from the observation that historic masonry buildings are often modified and altered to make them fit for present day use. A single-family masonry house in Turkey, situated in an earthquake prone area and built in the early 20(th) century, is studied. The analysis is made based on Turkish regulations for the initial building and for the building after alterations. Introduction of a reinforced-concrete slab has greatly improved seismic resistance of the building.
Conceptual framework for potential implementations of multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methods for design quality assessment
(2011) Harputlugil, Timuçin; Prins, Matthijs; Gültekin, A. Tanju; Topçu, İlker; 40295; Mimarlık
Architectural design can be considered as a process influenced by many stakeholders, each of which has different decision power. Each stakeholder might have his/her own criteria and weightings depending on his/her own perspective and role. Hence design can be seen as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) process. Considering architectural design, its evaluation and quality assessment within a context of MCDM is not regularly performed within building processes. The aim of the paper is to find/adapt proper methodologies of MCDM, used in other domains for assessment of design quality, adapt them to the construction domain and test their applicability. Current tools (for instance DQI, DEEP, AEDET, HQI, LEED, BREEAM, BQA) for quality assessment will be reviewed and compared with several MCDM methods (ie. AHP, ANP, PROMETHEE, SAW AND TOPSIS). Advantages and disadvantages of gathered outcomes from comparisons for assessment and applicability within architectural design will be discussed. Finally reflections on the outcomes will be provided.

Architect - Structural Engineer Collaboration in Sustainable Structural System Design
(Gazi Univ, 2011) Ozmen, Cengiz; Özmen, Cengiz; Unay, Ali Ihsan; 56939; Mimarlık
This paper explores ways of collaboration between architects and structural engineers in the design of sustainable structural systems. Areas of collaboration are explored in terms of seismic design of new structures and rehabilitation of existing structures. Multidisciplinary design teams and an integrated design approach are critical to the process of sustainable building construction. The required group-work skills should be acquired by architects and engineers during their professional education. As a result, this paper also investigates ways in which the structural design education of architects and structural engineers can be redesigned to make their future professional collaboration more harmonious.

The Impact of Architectural Education on Children
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Çavdar, Rabia Çiğdem; Cavdar, Rabia Cigdem; 237969; Mimarlık
Architectural education as a design education always encourages the creativity. The case studies realized with children shows that facing architecture in early ages when their brain has not formatted has a great potential both for architectural milieu and for consciousness of the children related to their surroundings. Being conscious in early age might bring an opportunity to shape more meaningful environments. For example, there is no need to be an architect to behave responsible with their environment; such as ecological problems, sustainability, traffic problems which are the tools for educating more responsible generations with their environment. They can perceive the world in different ways and constitute a conscious understanding of built environment. These meetings have double sided effect both on their mind and the milieu of architecture. This article will discuss mentioned thoughts above by means of workshops held abroad. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and/or peer review under responsibility of Prof. Ayse Cakir Ilhan

Transformation of Balcony in Urban Apartments as a Reminiscent of the ‘Hayat’ in Traditional Turkish House
(2012) Berdi Gökhan, Çiğdem
Vernacular House’s common characteristics can be summarized as its adaptability to climate, optimization of material and production techniques, attained its final form with trial and error method and built by untrained builders. In Turkey, vernacular houses of rural and urban areas carry typical characteristics along with particular spatial components which are patios/hayat or courtyards/avlu and verandas/hayat or örtme. Household gathers and shares many activities in these spaces. They are the places of doing different activities from growing children to keeping poultry; from boiling laundry to cooking; from drying vegetables to making jam and from celebrations to storing grains for winter, wood for the fire, even spare tractor. Whether it is a large courtyard or a small hayat of the house, it is a multifunctional space. Indeed, the main design principles of Turkish vernacular are adaptability and flexibility besides being ecologic and economic. However, in contemporary housing environments, urban apartments which are designed by architects and regulated with municipal permissions are not congruent with the above definition of the vernacular houses. Though, they still attain certain common features which may lead a discourse, if they can be considered as vernacular. Under this scope, the discussion will be carried out by referring to the usage of apartments, their design concepts, and alterations in terms of balconies. Balconies are problematic of Municipal Building Regulations Controlling Unit in big cities since they are covered, altered and utilized unexpectedly with no permission. In this paper, balconies of apartment blocks from different districts will be inspected and their users will be interviewed in order to find out reasons for the transformation of balconies. The analysis in this study will lead a discussion on vernacular versus apartment buildings. If they carry common features of the old living traditions, can they be called as urban vernaculars?

Increasing Social Awareness and Professional Collaboration in Architectural Education Towards a Sustainable and Disaster-Free Future
(2013) Özmen, Cengiz; 56939; Mimarlık
The aim of this study is to explore ways of increasing the social and professional awareness of students of architecture to educate a new generation of architects who are familiar with the concepts of social responsibility, professional collaboration, sustainable development and disaster mitigation. Turkey experiences a rapid social change due to the urban regeneration, population movements, environmental changes, new technologies and professional diversification. These phenomenon affect all aspects of life. This study explores the possibilities for applying new methods of teaching in schools of architecture to train a generation of architects who will be in tune with this new, ever-changing socio-cultural environment in Turkey. A study lasting one educational term of 14 weeks was conducted on a group of 15 second year students of architecture. A structural design course which previously had a purely theoretical and mathematical approcah to the subject matter was altered to contain background information regarding social context such as the photos, videos and narratives of earthquake affected areas of Turkey. This was done to introduce the students with the reality of the built environment and professional life in Turkey. Additionally small-scale applied projects were given as semester tasks to the students where they can experience a scaled but realistic application of the theoretical knowledge into reality. These two approaches were supplemented with theoretical knowledge to prepare the students for professional life in a realistic manner. A sudden increase in student attention and participation to the course was observed both in matters concrening the professional application and social context of their architectural projects. These findings were consistent with a previous study conducted by the author. The findings of this experimental application have resulted in a revision of the educational curriculum concerning the structural design courses to permanently include information regarding the social context and practical application of theoretical projetcs.

Empirical investigation of owner-occupiers’ reinvestments in housing: the case of Ankara, Turkey
(Springer, 2014) Ozdemir Sari, Ozgul Burcu; 29102
In Turkey, reinvestments in the existing housing stock are entirely dependent on households' decisions in the free market. There are no policies to consider reinvestment processes, and the body of knowledge on households' reinvestment decisions is scant. Understanding how individual reinvestment decisions are determined is vital to devise policy measures to improve the condition of the existing housing stock and neighbourhoods. In this study, an attempt is made to identify the basic motivations and factors underpinning the owner-occupants' performed and planned reinvestments in the apartment flats of Ankara. The results display that consumption considerations, particularly circumstances of necessity and urgency, are the basic motivation for undertaking reinvestment works among the surveyed owner-occupants. Higher household head age, shorter duration of occupancy, higher house value and maintained installations and infrastructure in common parts of the apartment blocks are displayed to increase the probability of having undertaken reinvestment works. Also, perception of the dwelling to be in disrepair and landscaped common outdoor space of the apartment are identified to increase the probability of having reinvestment plans for the future. The analysis suggests that policy measures are required both to trigger reinvestment capacities of households and to monitor the tendencies of reinvestments.

Aciksaray "Open Palace": A Byzantine Rock-Cut Settlement in Cappadocia
(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2014) Ozturk, Fatma Gul; 140902
Courtyard complexes formed entirely out of the volcanic rock mass in Cappadocia, in Central Anatolia, differ from the other rock-cut structures in the region, in both scale and elaboration of design. There are more than forty such complexes in Cappadocia, either gathered in one location or isolated. Located on the Nevsehir-Gulsehir road, Aciksaray contains nine such complexes in close proximity, many of which feature monumental facades as well as reception areas and utilitarian spaces such as large stables around a courtyard. This paper, in the light of survey results, presents site analysis and architectural readings that lead the discussion of the nature and stages of occupation at Aciksaray. By doing this, the paper aims to bring new insights to the discussion on courtyard complexes, adding details and nuance to our understanding of the Aciksaray settlement, while noting similarities with other settlements in the region. Underlining the secular and elite character of the Aciksaray settlement, this study contributes in particular to enlarging the picture of medieval life in Cappadocia, and in general to the studies of Byzantine domestic architecture, for which architectural evidence is still scarce.
