Article Visual Comfort and Indoor Environmental Quality in a Workplace Setting: A Case Study in Ankara, Türkiye(Univ Zagreb Fac Architecture, 2025) Avci, Ayse NihanWorkplaces are occasionally specified in locations where learning environments are placed together, and they are also found in common areas with various functions. Individuals need light, as it is a vital component of modern life that fosters a sense of comfort, health, and well-being. Lighting systems in interior architecture need to be designed according to the function of the space and individual needs. In cases where natural lighting is insufficient, comfortable, healthy, and prosperous places are designed with mixed-use lighting. Factors affecting indoor environmental quality, such as sound, color, and thermal comfort, should be designed together with lighting. This study aims to investigate the indoor environmental quality parameters of the specified workplace regarding visual comfort. Students voluntarily participated in the study. An experimental space on the first floor of the building, known as the "Common Building" of & Ccedil;ankaya University and serving as a connection point for the faculties, was chosen for the study. This type of research is crucial for ensuring that indoor environmental quality parameters are effectively utilized indoors to enhance human-centric interior design.Article Citation - WoS: 3Structural Behaviour of 13th and 14th Century Seljuk Mosques and Acculturation of Construction Knowledge(Univ Zagreb Fac Architecture, 2022) Akan, Asli ErThis study aims to demonstrate the acculturation of Seljuk architecture and construction techniques by tracing the development of peripheral walls in Seljuk wooden hypostyle mosques built in 13th and 14th centuries. To track the exchange of construction knowledge two Seljuk mosques (the Hanonu Mosque in Kastamonu and the Ahi Elvan Mosque in Ankara) are selected for comparison in this study. The main difference between the two mosques is their structural systems: one has a wooden peripheral wall and wooden skeleton system, while the other has a masonry peripheral wall and wooden pillars. In this study, a comparison of the structural systems and performances of these examples of wooden mosques exhibiting different wall systems was made together with structural analyses under basic loads. A series of structural analyses provides significant data about the structural behaviour of these types of structures, indicating acculturation of elements from Asia and Byzantium within Seljuk architecture and construction techniques.Article Citation - WoS: 1Reconciling Architectural Design With Seismic Codes a Comparative Architectural Analysis for Mid-Rise Reinforced Concrete Residential Buildings in Turkey(Univ Zagreb Fac Architecture, 2021) Ozmen, CengizSeismic codes include strict requirements for the design and construction of mid-rise reinforced concrete residential buildings. These requirements call for the symmetric and regular arrangement of the structural system, increased cross-sections for columns, and the introduction of shear walls to counteract the effects of lateral seismic loads. It is challenging for architects to reconcile the demands of these codes with the spatial arrangement and commercial appeal of their designs. This study argues that such reconciliation is possible through an architectural analysis. First, the effectiveness of applying the seismic design principles required by the codes is demonstrated with the comparative analysis of two finite element models. Then three pairs of architectural models, representing the most common floor plan arrangements for such buildings in Turkey, are architecturally analyzed before and after the application of seismic design principles in terms of floor area and access to view. The results demonstrate that within the context defined by the methodology of this study, considerable seismic achievement can be achieved in mid-rise reinforced concrete residential buildings by the application of relatively few, basic design features by the architects.Article Making the Unwanted Visible: a Narrative on Abdulhamid Ii's Ambitious Project for Yedikule Central Prison in Istanbul(Univ Zagreb Fac Architecture, 2020) Ozmen, Ceren Katipoglu; Sezer, SalahaddinThis study aims to investigate three architectural projects proposed for constructing a central prison inside the Yedikule Fortress in Istanbul during the end of the 19th c. Ottoman State assigned the famous architects of the era for this mission such as August Jasmund, Alexandre Vallaury, and Kemaleddin. The narration on the projects shows that there was a strong intention for constructing a central prison in the capital of Ottoman Empire as a sign of success for the overall penalty and prison reform that was one of the main goals for Ottoman Sultan Abdiilhamid II (r. 1876-1909). The interpretation of these distinctive projects is significant since this interpretation helps us both to understand the transformation of the criminal justice spaces of the Ottoman Empire and to provide a new perspective for reading 19th c. Ottoman architecture.
