Master Thesis Axiality in the Process of Space Organization in Architecture(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Dinçer, Özgür; Eyüce, AhmetThe scope of this study, tries to explain the definition of the architectural axis and its influences in the process of space organisation with all due aspects to the strong relationships between geometry and architecture. In doing this, the roles of the architectural axis in the spatial evolution of the architectural history are also explained in accordance with its various characteristics in different eras.The study tries to reveal the direct and primarily effects of the architectural axis in development of the architectural form in parallel with the spatial evolution througout all the history of architecture. Some invariable concepts are explained by means of the geometrical characteristics of the axis to make these effects more obvious to understand.All these explanations are aimed to be enriched with the historical examples to justify the conceptual statements.As a result, the whole study tries to reach the idea that the axiality which is born with different use of the architectural axis in the process of space organisation has different meaning and it is interpreted differently in parallel with the social economic and cultural characteristics of the era that it belongs. This idea is shown as a main reason of the changes in building forms and their spatial characteristics in all architectural history.KEY WORDS: Geometry, Point, Line, Axis, Plane, Volume and Form, Space, Meaning, Verticality and horizontality, Power, Symbol, Symmetry, Asymmetry, Balance, Perspective, Aperspective.Master Thesis Acoustic Design Based on Multi-Aspect Performance Analysis(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2013) Atça, Emre; İlal, Mustafa EmreIn current architectural practice, architects, due to time and budget constraints do not analyse their designs and evaluate alternatives from the building physics perspective. They expect this analysis to be carried out by engineers. Unfortunately, engineers mostly get involved late in the design process, after many key decisions are already finalized, leaving them powerless to solve problems employing efficient strategies. However, the rapid advances both in computing and engineering have produced various simulation based tools for evaluating building performance that architects themselves can employ in the early design stages. The proliferation of the utilization of these tools throughout the architectural practice and education is necessary for achieving higher performance levels in the built environment. In this study, the main Lecture Hall at Izmir Institute of Technology, Department of Mathematics is diagnosed and documented through measurements and the possibility of predicting this existing level of performance through simulations during the design stage is explored. The brand new Lecture Hall is in urgent need of renovations, with additional costs, in order to improve acoustic, visual and thermal comfort in the space. Architects need to follow a performance based design approach where they consider performance criteria and utilize building simulation tools for design support in order to avoid problems that introduce costs later in the construction and operation of buildings.
