2000’ler Türkiye’sinde “Mekân - Mesken” Kavramlarının ‘Değer’ Kavramı Üzerinden Sorgulanması: Kuramsal Bir İnceleme
(2018) Atakan, Gökçe; 206007
Sürdürülebilirliğin önemli bir parçası olan kültürel sürdürülebilirlik, mekân tasarımının en önemli konularından biri olarak düşünülür. Kültürün değişken yapısı, farklı dönemler için farklı çevresel değerler sağlar. Bu nedenle, yapılı çevrenin değerlerinin kültürel sürdürülebilirliği sorgulamak için önemli bir veri sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2000 sonrası Türkiye’de üretilmiş olan konut seçenekleri ve etkileri hakkında farklı disiplinlerde yapılmış olan tespitleri bir araya getirerek, mekân tasarımının ‘değer’ parametresi üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Madea tarafından, toplumsal hedefler ve niteliksel özelliklerle açıklanan tasarımın değeri (2006), bu çalışmada mekân ve mesken kavramlarını değerlendirmek üzere ölçüt olarak seçilmiştir. Toplumsal değer alt ölçütü ‘kültür – toplum’ olarak, niteliksel değer alt ölçütü ise göstergebilim üzerinden ‘kimlik – birey’ olarak belirlenmiştir. Kuramsal altyapısı literatür taraması yöntemi ile yapılmış olan çalışma, Anadolu ve Türkiye konut gelişim sürecinin ışığında, 2000 sonrası sunulan konut örneklerini mekân ve mesken kavramları bağlamında okumaktadır. Çalışmada yapılan değerlendirilme sonucunda, mekân tasarımı için olası öneriler verilmektedir.

A comparative research on space of women in prayer place interiors of celestial religions: Cases from istanbul
(2020) Disli, Gulsen; Ozcan, Zuhal
Cross-cultural comparison has been used in architecture mostly to discuss the components of culture, knowledge, and value systems, yet to date there is not a specific comparative study on gendered architecture in prayer places of celestial religions, namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Hence, this study aims to reveal how attendance of women in prayer places with different national, historic, religious, and cultural characteristics shaped architectural space organization and to assess potential similarities and differences of women’s section in prayer spaces of celestial religions by examining literature survey, archival and historic research, including field observations. In addition to general observations in building scale, some exemplary historic synagogues, churches, and mosques in Istanbul still in use have been chosen as case studies, and their plan typologies, as well as types and locations of women’s galleries/sections have been discussed. Cross-cultural comparison parameters were; development of women’s section in prayer places as a structured architectural space and basic architectural terminologies used to define women’s section. The major conclusion of the study is that originally women had right to worship in prayer spaces without any physical separation in all three religions, yet in time the place of women had a more defined/divided/structured character especially in Islam and Judaism. The study also indicates that while at present day, gendered architecture is still the predominant approach in Islam and in Orthodox Judaism; mix congregation in a single-unsegregated space for both sexes is more common in contemporary society of Christianity.

A comparative review of environmental concern prioritization: LEED vs other major certification systems
(2015) Süzer, Özge; 27418
The matter of environmental concern prioritization integrated into globally used green building rating systems is a fundamental issue since it determines how the performance of a structure or development is reflected. Certain nationally-developed certification systems are used globally without being subjected to adjustments with respect to local geographical, cultural, economic and social parameters. This may lead to a situation where the results of an evaluation may not reflect the reality of the region and/or the site of construction. The main objective of this paper is to examine and underline the problems regarding the issue of weighting environmental concerns in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system, which is a US-originated but globally used assessment tool. The methodology of this study consists of; (i) an analysis of the approach of LEED in the New Construction and Major Renovations scheme in version 3 (LEED NC, v.3) and the Building Design and Construction scheme in version 4 (LEED BD þ C, v.4), (ii) case studies in which regional priority credits (RPCs) set by LEED for four countries (Canada, Turkey, China and Egypt) are criticized with respect to countries’ own local conditions, and, (iii) an analysis of the approaches of major environmental assessment tools, namely; BREEAM, SBTool, CASBEE and Green Star, in comparison to the approach in LEED, regarding the main issue of this paper. This work shows that, even in its latest version (v.4) LEED still displays some inadequacies and inconsistencies from the aspect of environmental concern prioritization and has not yet managed to incorporate a system which is more sensitive to this issue. This paper further outlines the differences and similarities between the approaches of the aforementioned major environmental assessment tools with respect to the issue of concern and the factors that should be integrated into future versions of LEED.

A comparison of the cognitive actions of designers in geometry-based and parametric design environments
(2020) Tünger, Çetin; Taşlı Pektaş, Şule; 272043
Purpose - This paper aims to compare designers' cognitive behaviors in geometry-based modeling environments (GMEs) and parametric design environments (PDEs). Design/methodology/approach - This study used Rhinoceros as the geometric and Grasshopper as the parametric design tool in an experimental setting. Designers' cognitive behaviors were investigated by using the retrospective protocol analysis method with a content-oriented approach. Findings - The results indicated that the participants performed more cognitive actions per minute in the PDE because of the extra algorithmic space that such environments include. On the other hand, the students viewed their designs more and focused more on product user relation in the geometric modeling environment. While the students followed a top-down process and produced less number of topologically different design alternatives with the parametric design tool, they had more goal setting activities and higher number of alternative designs in the geometric modeling environment. Originality/value - This study indicates that cognitive behaviors of designers in GMEs and PDF-s differ significantly and these differences entail further attention from researchers and educators.

Providing the needed and indispensable steady, quality and safe energy is one of the most important issues today. Wind energy is one of the most important renewable energy source. Wind energy has found uses much more in water pumping and obtaining electricity in rural areas until last years. Today, wind energy has taken its place in the energy sector as an alternative source of energy production. High-density building arrays within a city, the combination of indoor and outdoor spaces with different purposes effect wind flow and acceptable wind comfort. In urban areas, wind energy and wind comfort are important requirements. Not only in new urbanisation areas but also for existing urban areas and city centers acceptable wind comfort plays an important role among and around buildings. When viewed from this angle, the aim of this study is enlightening the building aerodynamics, wind effect and wind energy in urban environment, and also giving information about how to analyze the wind comfort and design criteria in dense urban areas.

A myth? Sustainable tourism as a tool for rescuing traditional spaces: a case study from Turkey, Ankara Z. Ozcan, N. Ayalp & G. Guner Aktas TOBB University of Economics and Technology, Turkey Abstract The concept of social sustainability should be considered and investigated in developing the conditions of traditional urban spaces. Sustainable tourism can be a basic tool for the physical conservation of architectural heritage. The traditional spaces regain considerable visual and economical value with tourism investments but the social reactions are to the contrary. In the content of the study, two different characteristically spaces were selected in the city of Ankara. The selected urban core was composed of 19th century Ottoman dwellings called \“Hamamonu” which have not been considered for a long time. The local municipality developed a project to rehabilitate a part of this area with the help of tourism and left the other part untouched \“Hamamarkasi”. Social, physical and spatial aspects will be questioned and the opinions of respondents will be output about the rehabilitation project. Keywords: sustainable tourism, traditional space, hamamönü, hamamarkası. 1 Introduction The oldest urban core of a settlement covers special spaces that help to differentiate it from the others with its original spatial character. In developing countries like Turkey, they are \“lost” urban spaces turned to squatter zones, composed of \“unpopular” traditional dwellings. Deterioration of the physical space is also the indicator of social change. The new housing zones lead to a social migration from the traditional urban core, leaving the place to lower income groups unaware of their possession responsibilities, resulting in the further collapse of the architectural indoor and outdoor spaces. In several cases, it is observed that not only the physical spaces but also the user profile changes Sustainable Tourism V 297

A practical approach to performance-based building design in architectural project
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis LTD, 2019) Sayın, Selçuk; Çelebi, Gülümser
The aim of this study is to develop an approach that can enhance and contribute to the practical applicability of performance-based building design in architectural projects. The need for such an approach is based on the current lack of a practical application for performance-based design in architectural projects, despite the numerous studies conducted in this regard to date. The approach has been applied in a commercial building project designed by an architectural firm in Konya. The performance evaluation of the design developed in accordance with the requirements of the client/builder and the restrictions of regulations was carried out using IES VE 2014 software at a specific phase of the design process. Through this building performance simulation tool; the thermal protection of the envelope/heat loss and solar gain, thermal comfort (temperature, humidity), air quality (freshness), daylight and glare levels were evaluated for the selected spaces in the building, and following the evaluation, new design proposals were put forward to improve the design so as to meet the performance goal.

A Review based on OLED Lighting Conditions and Human Circadian System
(2023) Avcı, Ayşe Nihan; Akbay, Saadet; 237970; 21742
Light is a form of energy that affects the human sleep cycle, working hours, alertness, productivity, and well-being. As one of the essential environmental factors, lighting requires extensive research to understand the human-environment interaction. Earlier studies reveal that various artificial lighting technologies are utilized to investigate the human circadian system; experiments employing solid-state lighting (SSL) sources are still being conducted to determine how the human circadian system is affected. Due to the advantages of OLED (organic light-emitting diode) lighting, there is a need to enhance this form of artificial lighting in an indoor environment. This paper focuses on a literature review on artificial lighting sources, particularly OLED lighting, used from the past to the present. This article also discusses how OLED lighting can influence the human circadian system in terms of different characteristics of lighting in an indoor environment. © 2023, Gruppo del Colore?

The differences in the process of formation, purpose of construction, the extent and the materials of cultural heritage also render a difference in the decision making and approach to its preservation and restoration. However a common decision making in terms of preservation can be made in buildings that are located within the same compound or region that have a cultural continuity and that sustain similar typologic values. The hammams that are located within the boundaries of the Southeastern Anatolia Region remain as local and rear buildings depending on the climate of the region, the materials that are used and their construction techniques despite bearing common characteristics with many others that have been built in Anatolia. Forty hammams in the region have been reviewed in terms of their typologies, architectural values and the status they had been preserved in within the scope of this article and certain suggestions have been developed for the purposes of establishing common decisions in their preservation and their passing on to the future.

A taxonomy of indoor acoustic environments and sound source preference in shopping centres
(Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2020) Erçakmak, Beyza Uğur; Dökmeci, Papatya Nur; 214925
As part of soundscape research, sound source classification and taxonomy studies play an important role in relation with contextual experience and user perception. Although, outdoor acoustic environments have been studied in detail, published and standardized in the literature, taxonomy studies on indoor acoustic environments are still at its preliminary phase and should be progressed. This study concentrates on shopping centre indoor acoustic environments and presents a preliminary proposal on the indoor sound source taxonomy of such indoor public spaces. The presented taxonomy and the structured classification of the sound sources lead to the preparation of a structured surveying protocol. Thereby, the sound source preference in the case shopping centre has been studied through this structured indoor soundscape preference assessment questionnaire, which is applied to 23 participants. The indoor sound source taxonomy lead to the identification of the sound sources to be included in the structured preference assessment questionnaire. 24 sound sources have been assessed through a bi-polar 6-point forced-choice rating scale. The results of the questionnaire have led to the identification of the most and least preferred sound sources in shopping centres, which can act as key elements in the design phase of such public enclosed environments.

Acoustics and Speech Privacy in Open-Plan Offices: A Case Study on Computer-Based Task Performance
(2018) Kitapçı, Kıvanç
The aim of this study is to find out the effects of speech and speech intelligibility on computer-based task performance in open-plan offices. The research was conducted in a real open-plan office environment to include the open-office experience of subjects to the analysis. STM Bilkent Office was selected as the case, and 40 available open-office occupants were participated to the study. The experiment consists of two main phases. In the first phase, acoustical simulation of the site was done, to derive distribution graphs for speech related room acoustics parameters. In the second phase, occupants’ computer-based task performances were tested under three different sound environments, which are continuous noise, speech and masked speech. According to statistical analysis of the performance test, and the acoustical properties of the case STM, suggestions for renovation were discussed. It was found that effects of intelligible speech on occupants’ task performance are only psychological, because it is significant that there is no difference between results of performance test. However, all of the occupants respond to the questionnaires that speech sound environment was the most distracting one. Proposal for renovation was given to minimize the effects of intelligible speech on occupants for preventing the long-term effects on occupants’ health.

The most globally used environmental assessment tool; LEED, offers the certification of projects according to the evaluation criteria of green buildings. Furthermore, emerging mixed-use high-rise residential complexes (MHRC) in metropolitans like Istanbul draw attention, as they help reduce carbon emissions by providing various facilities in one entity for its residents. Yet, they also have negative effects on resources, due to excessive energy consumptions owing to their high user capacities. The objective of this study is to analyse LEED certified MHRC in Istanbul, regarding their prioritization of evaluation categories. LEED’s database revealed nine certified MHRC under the NC scheme. Based on their gained points, mean ranks ( ) of categories were calculated, which indicated the priorities given by this building typology in Istanbul. The obtained category priority order was then compared to the one implied by LEED’s assigned category weights. It was found that EA gained much lower attention than needed.

Occupational safety and health (OHS) education in universities has an important role in developing and improving safety cultures in the workplace. Safety education is essential for improving necessary OSH skills, culture and knowledge, so do architects, urban planners, interior architects whose duties are regarded as the design, planning and execution of construction projects in high-risk sectors. As a consequence, there has been increasing recognition that safety education courses in the architecture faculties should have participative learning methods and resources. In order to increase preparedness for any potential future health crises parallel to the “Vision Zero” approach in work-related deaths, a new EU Strategic Framework was announced by the European Commission. The course described and proposed here aimed to raise awareness about OHS by teaching risks related to working environments, basic issues, basic legislation within the scope of OHS. It also aimed to cover professional liability with respect to OHS, and risks and hazards in the construction sector, as well as helping participants to analyze and evaluate the risks in workplace. This article’s primary objective is to identify an innovative safety education model of the “occupational health and safety course” with a “Vision Zero” approach.

An interdisciplinary sound source categorization framework for environmental sound design
(2021) Kitapçı, K.; Özdemir, D.
One of the objectives of architectural design is to create multisensory environments. The users are under the influence of a wide variety and intense perceptual data flow when users experience a designed space. Architects and environmental designers should not ignore the sense of hearing, one of the most important of the five primitive senses that allow us to experience the physical environment within the framework of creative thinking from the first stage of the design process. Today, auditory analysis of spaces has been studied under architectural acoustics, soundscapes, multisensory interactions, and sense of place. However, the current sound design methods implemented in the film and video game industries and industrial design have not been used in architectural design practices. Sound design is the art and application of making soundtracks in various disciplines, and it involves recognizing, acquiring, or developing auditory components. This research aims to establish a holistic architectural sound design framework based on the previous sound classification and taxonomic models found in the literature. The proposed sound design framework will help the architects and environmental designers classify the sound elements in the built environment and provide holistic environmental sound design guidelines depending on the spaces' functions and context. © INTER-NOISE 2021 .All right reserved.

AN INVESTIGATION OF SOUND SOURCES IN SMART HOUSES FOR IMPROVED MACHINE-TO-HUMAN COMMUNICATION
(2023) Alkan, A.; Dökmeci Yörükoğlu, Papatya Nur; 214925
This study aims to investigate the ever-evolving indoor soundscapes of smart houses by classification of the sounds emitted from smart devices. Nowadays, communication is no longer limited to person-to-person. Smart devices frequently communicate with users by verbal or tonal notifications. Therefore, acoustic characteristics of smart houses, especially reverberation time and background noise levels, have increased importance in achieving improved and lossless signal transfer and speech intelligibility. It is hypothesized that most houses are unsuitable for effective tonal and verbal communication with smart devices regarding acoustical conditions. Within the scope of the study, the devices found in the smart technology market were investigated. The sounds emitted from the identified devices were then classified according to their communicative nature (verbal/tonal), designability, customizability, and cause (i.e., intentional or consequential). The acoustic requirements for effective communication with the individual smart devices were analyzed in addition to the resulting holistic indoor soundscape of the smart houses The results of the study will help architects, interior architects, and other environmental designers to improve the quality of communication while guiding future research to understand indoor soundscapes of smart houses. © 2023 First author et al.

Analysing Sound Environment and Architectural Characteristics of Libraries through Indoor Soundscape Framework
(Polska Akad Nauk, 2016) Dökmeci Yörükoğlu, Papatya Nur; Kang, Jian; 214925
This study presents the indoor soundscape framework in detail by describing the variables and factors that form an indoor soundscape study. The main objective is to introduce a new indoor soundscaping framework and systematically explain the variables that contribute to the overall evaluation of an indoor soundscape. Hence, the dependencies of physical and psychoacoustical factors of the sound environment and the spatial factors of the built entity are statistically tested. The new indoor soundscaping framework leads to an overarching evaluation perspective of enclosed sound environments, combining objective room acoustics research and noise control engineering with architectural analysis. Therefore, it is hypothesised that case spaces with certain plan organisations, volumetric relations, and spatial referencing lead to differentiated sound pressure level (SPL) and loudness (N) values. SPL and N parametric variances of the sound environments are discussed through the statistical findings with respect to the architectural characteristics of each library case space. The results show that the relation between crowd level variances and sound environment parametric values is statistically significant. It is also found that increasing the atrium height and atrium void volume, the atrium's presence as a common architectural element, and its interpenetrating reference and domain containment results in unwanted variances and acoustic formations, leading to high SPL and N values.

In this study, the structure of the settlement areas in the historical texture and the measures that could be used in the history of using environmental energy and energy in the residential architecture in the most effective way were investigated and the effects of these measures on life style were examined both in urban and residential dimensions. The study was sampled in Kızılcaşar Village of İncek district in Ankara, which is located in the Central Anatolia Region, which has a hot and dry climate. This review showed that; local and historical urban and residential architecture, first of all, respect for each other, not only in cultural dimensions but also in environmental dimensions, which are crucial in such settlement areas. The interrelationships and paths between residential settlements in the village are formed within a certain respect in order to provide water and effective usage of the stream for all the residential units. At the same time in the settlement, relations between the houses, effective use of sunlight in the space during the summer and winter periods enables the use of heat and lighting energy in the most efficient way. Similarly, using air currents increases air quality. In this respect, it is important to ensure natural ventilation and coolness during hot weather and decrease air pollution during winter. Thereby, indoor air quality is improved in all seasons. In addition, in these residential structures, energy is provided for other requirements such as drying of laundries and protection of food from hot weather.
