Article Integrating the Seljuk Cultural Layer Into Contemporary Life: The Case of Niğde Historic City Center(Istanbul Univ, Research Inst Turkology, Dept Art History, 2025) Yavaşcan, Emel Efe; Urak, Zehra GedizGünümüz tarihî kent merkezleri, yer altı ve yer üstündeki tarihî izleriyle, kültürel zenginlikleri ve özgün kimlikle8 rinin yanı sıra, “yerin ruhu”nu yansıtan kentsel hafıza alanlarıdır. Çok katmanlı bu tarihî kent merkezleri, kültür varlıklarının fiziksel ve işlevsel eskimesi, sosyo8kültürel ve ekonomik doku bozulmaları, koruma problemleri vb. sorunlarla giderek çöküntü yerleri hâline gelmektedir. Bu sorunları barındıran Niğde kentinde yapılmış koruma uygulamalarında, kentin yer altında ve yer üstünde bulunan katmanlarının dikkate alınmamış olması çalışmada problem olarak belirlenmiştir. Kentli tarafından tepe olarak algılanan çalışma alanı uzun zamandır çöküntü alanı niteliğindedir. Çalışmanın amacı, Niğde Tarihî Kent Merkezi’nin Selçuklu Dönemi’ne ait tarihî katmanını analiz etmek, haritalan8 dırmak ve bu katmanı çağdaş koruma uygulamalarına entegre etmeye yönelik öneriler geliştirmektir. Araştırma verileri, kentin tarihî gelişiminde en belirleyici dönemin Selçuklu Dönemi olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sebeple çalışma kapsamında bu katman odak alınmıştır. Ayrıca, diğer tarihî katmanların da korunarak günlük yaşama kazandırılmasına katkı sağlamak, bu çalışmanın bir diğer hedefidir. Bu bağlamda, Selçuklu Dönemi’ne ait yer üstü ve yer altı değerlerinin sürdürülebilir korunmasına yönelik öneriler geliştirilmiştir.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Exploring Fire Safety Conditions of Double Skin Facades(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2024) Aslar, Eylem Ezgi; Harputlugil, Gulsu UlukavakHuman health, comfort and safety are of primary importance in the built environment. Among the security measures, the most important risk is the risk of fire. For this reason, the issue of fire risk, spread and safety is considered as one of the criteria that should be considered from the building design stage. Within the scope of this study, building models with the same floor height, different plan and facade types, designed in 3D, were analyzed in the fire simulation program called PyroSim. Based on the data obtained as a result of the analyzes, the results of the temperature, smoke and flame spread at the time of fire according to the facade and plan types are presented in tables. As a result of the data obtained, it was determined that box-type systems in double-layer facades are the most problematic facade type in terms of evacuation of living creatures. In terms of smoke spread, it has been revealed that the systems that continue uninterruptedly along the facade pose a problem when the access and spread to other floors are taken into account. It is necessary to consider fire safety as a design problem. It is considered that more detailed studies should be carried out in our country on this subject, that the project should be designed by considering the simulations from the decision stage to the implementation stage of the building, and that the regulations should be developed in order to be a good guide in both the design and implementation stages.Article Frame Finite Element Model for Nonlinear and Vibration Analysis of Steel Structures With Beam-Column and Column-Base Semi-Rigid Connections(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2022) Saritas, Afsin; Ozel, Halil FiratIn this paper, a shear deformable force-based frame finite element with semi-rigid connections is derived for nonlinear analysis of steel structures. Distributed plasticity approach is defined along element length and section depth, and linear or non-linear semi-rigid connection behavior can be specified anywhere along elements without the necessity to define additional nodes and to increase the degrees of freedom of the structural system. To perform vibration analyses with similar accuracy, force-based consistent mass matrix is used considering semi-rigidity in connections and an appropriate shear correction coefficient for I-sections. The element formulation is presented in 2 dimensions to simplify the formulation, and numerical validation and comparison studies are carried out on complex and irregular structures in 2-D and 3-D. In models with semi-rigid connections, the effect of nonlinear behavior on the structural system has been studied in both beam-column and column-bases. In the presented examples, it was possible to push structures higher than the existing displacements, and it was revealed that the nonlinear behavior in the column-base connections could create much more critical results for the structural systems with P-Delta effects. In addition, high-level accuracy results were obtained when performing vibration analyses with the application of force-based consistent mass matrix.Article A Comparative Research on Space of Women in Prayer Place Interiors of Celestial Religions: Cases From Istanbul(Gazi Univ, 2020) Disli, Gulsen; Ozcan, ZuhalCross-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.Article Architectural Design - Structural System Conformity Problems Encountered in the Design and Application Processes of Stick Aluminium Curtain Wall Systems in Turkey(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2022) Ozmen, Cengiz; Saban, MugeStick aluminium curtain wall (SACW) systems are common curtain wall systems in Turkey. These sytems offer many advantages including architectural variation, modular design, ease of production and assembly. Beside their architectural properties SACW systems create significant load effects on structural systems. These load effects include lateral loads such as seismic and wind loads as well as static vertical loads. This load transfer is not one way. The vertical and lateral displacements of building structures also act on curtain walls. Healthy load transfer between the SACW and the building depends on architectural decisions during the design and construction process. Due to their wide use SACW systems are prone to architectural mistakes. These mistakes often represent themselves at latter stages of the construction and require solutions which will affect the architectural characteristics and structural behavior of buildings. This study focuses on SACW design and construction processes to find the effects of architectural decisions on curtain wall behavior. Case studies that include architectural design mistakes are selected to classify and study the reasons and the solutions of these mistakes. The importance of cooperation between all the stakeholders including the architects and engineers is emphasized for the prevention of these mistakes.Article Farklı Savak Yüksekliğine ve Konfigürasyona Sahip Dairesel Labirent Savakların Deneysel Modellenmesi(Gumushane University, 2023) Yildiz, A.; Marti, A.İ.; Göğüş, M.Due to their zigzag geometry in plain view, labyrinth weirs require less crest length compared to linear weirs in the dam body or in the channels where they are placed. In this study, the effect of the number of cycles (N) and weir heights (P) of the semi-circular labyrinth weirs on the flow efficiency was investigated. Semi-circular labyrinth weirs, unlike triangular and trapezoidal labyrinth weirs, increase the discharge efficiency by making the areas that reduce the flow capacity at the intersection areas more efficient and by allowing the flow to move in a more perpendicular direction to the weir walls. The experiments were carried out on 3 different configurations (N=2, 3 and 4) depending on the number of semi-circles they contain. In all configurations, a total of 3 weir heights (P=0.20, 0.30 m and 0.40 m) were used and 9 test setups were prepared. In addition, to reference the results obtained from circular weirs, experiments were carried out with linear weirs at 3 different weir heights (P=0.20, 0.30 m and 0.40 m), and a total of 12 experiments were carried out. n this study, the effect of the number of cycles (N) and weir heights (P) of the semicircular labyrinth weirs on the discharge efficiency was investigated. The results obtained from the circular labyrinth weir experiments were compared with previous studies and it was seen that the semi-circular labyrinth weirs had higher discharge capacity than the triangular labyrinth weirs. In addition, semi-circular labyrinth weirs provided a longer effective crest length than the triangular form with the same channel width, they provide higher flow rates at the same weir load. © 2023, Gumushane University.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs are generally effective after the major decisions of the design are taken. For this reason, it is common for the main decisions, taken during the design process, to be changed during the analysis of the structural system. In order to prevent this, in the early stages of architectural design, earthquake system awareness and structural system design should be included as an design input; as, the failure of the structural system which did not considered well in the architectural design phase leads to unexpected revisions in the implementation project phase and thus leads to serious losses in both time and cost. The aim of this study is to create an Irregularity Control Assistant (IC Assitant) that can provide architects general information about the appropriateness of structural system decisions to earthquake regulations in the early stages of design process by using the deep learning and image processing methods. In this way, correct decisions will be made in the early stages of the design and unexpected revisions that may occur during the implementation project phase will be prevented.Article A Research on Comparison of Elevator Traffic Analysis Methods in Educational Buildings(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2023) Harputlugil, Timucin; Deligoez, Dostcan; Deligöz, DostcanPurpose: Regarding elevator design in educational buildings; It is aimed to investigate the legal framework, to integrate dynamic simulation programs to design process, to compare traditional and dynamic simulation methods, to evaluate the adequacy of elevator features specified in the legislation and to determine the optimum scenarios according to the minimum requirements.Theory and Methods: Based on the findings of the literature review, which examines the issue of elevator traffic analysis together with the legislation and regulations, the carrying capacities of the elevators in the educational buildings designed by the Ministry of National Education (MNE) are tested. The stability of the system is tested by analyzing the conditions where only the disabled, disabled and building workers can be used together and all building users can use the elevators with the dynamic simulation method (with Elevate Software). The limits of the system are determined based on the waiting times during the peak usage periods. The findings of the study are evaluated according to the waiting times determined by CIBSE Guide D and the Chamber of Mechanical Engineers followed by the discussion of the outcomes.Results: The issue of elevator design has been overlooked in educational buildings, and a comprehensive elevator traffic analysis method has not been defined. For the effective use of all occupants, elevator design should be handled comprehensively with considering potentials of dynamic simulation method.Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, it is noted that the number and capacity of elevators in the legislation for educational buildings are determined only for minimum conditions and for disabled users. In addition, the legislation (considering calculation methodology) is not specific for educational buildings but related with buildings in general with public use. Considering the occupants, and their profiles of the educational buildings, a more comprehensive traffic analysis with the dynamic simulation method may enable the elevators to be designed and to be used more efficiently.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Leed Certified Mixed-Use Residential Buildings in Istanbul: a Study on Category-Based Performances(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2021) Süzer, O.The building industry has a significant negative effect on climate change and increases other environmental problems at the global scale. LEED, which is one of the most globally used environmental assessment tool, provides the certification of projects according to the evaluation criteria of green buildings under certain categories. On the other hand, an emerging form of architecture, the mixed-use residential high-rise building (MRB), appears in larger numbers especially in the metropolitans of developing countries, such as Istanbul. This building typology displays a positive approach in the context of sustainability. Since they are high-budget projects addressing to high-income groups, it is inherently expected that they have a green approach as a social responsibility. The objective of this study is to analyze LEED certified MRBs in Istanbul by focusing on their prioritization of evaluation categories. LEED’s database revealed a total of twenty-one certified projects under the New Constructions (v.3) scheme. Based on the gained points by these projects, mean rank values of the evaluation categories were calculated, which indicated the priorities given by this sample group. Furthermore, the conducted Kruskal-Wallis test showed there was highly significant difference among the rankings of the categories for these projects. Based on these rank order tests, obtained category priority order of MRBs was compared to the one implied by LEED’s assigned category weights. It was found that Energy and Atmosphere category gained much lower attention than required. Taking the results of the study into account, certain conclusions were drawn for this building type in Istanbul. © 2021, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

Light provides individuals to understand, get information for visual tasks and it affects how they experience and behave in the environment. Desired illuminance levels are required for visual comfort and task efficiency. This study analyzes the effects of different illuminance levels of light emitting diode (LED) and organic light emitting diodie (OLED) lights on user visual comfort and reading performance. An experiment was con-ducted with eighty interior architecture students at Çankaya University. Six lighting scenarios were created with LED and OLED lighting sources that assessed six visual comfort criteria. The experimental setting consisted of three different illuminance levels, as 200, 500 and 800 lx. The results revealed that different illuminance levels were found more comfortable for different visual comfort criteria, but the illuminance level of 500 lx was visually more comfortable than the other illuminance levels. The illuminance level of LED 200 lx was visually more comfortable than LED 800 lx. OLED light was found visually more comfortable than LED light. In addition, participants read slower under the illuminance level of LED 200 lx. It was concluded that illuminance levels of light effect user’s visual comfort and reading performance. This study provides a basis to recommend the preferred illuminance level for LED and OLED light during a reading performance. © 2021, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.
