    Development of Reinforced Pmma Sheets for Office Furnitures and a New Junction Detail Proposal
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Özçiftçi, Sibel; Ergül, Emre
    Nowadays life styles are changing and more modern than before, for that reason peoples furniture desires are different. In this modern world; furniture using gain a meaning and play important role than before, it defines peopele.s social status and their posion in this life. Design criteria are changing and improving everyday because of this designers use different equipments for their desingns. Glass production which is diffucult to take a shape hence plastic meterials were common after World War II. Modern views and their strength transperent materials satisfied designers desires. After gained environment conclousness same plastics which are non recyling products were gave up to use. Light and high strength plastic which is a recyling material PMMA is very common to use PMMA as known as a brand which name is plexiglass in Turkey. Also this plastic materials have very effective features than others.. İn this study, transparent sheets, glass and PMMA which are used furniture production were studied. As a designer approach different examples and combine details are given.Combine details which are used furniture production were researched and PMMA panel's strength,variety and flexibility were suggested as an beneficial metarial. After the performance, for the office furnitures, there had been a suggestion on a material that brings positive reaction for its endurance, variation and elasticity to the PMMA plate which is more frequently preferred compared with glass. In the suggested material, putting galvanized matting string between the two PMMA plates resulted in stronger and more elasticity characteristics,compared to the standart PMMA plate. After the compose of the material, it had been put through durability test.As a result the material's bending durability had been calculated, too.

    A Critical View of Turkish Architectural Thought and Architectural Practices in the Tourism After 1980
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2000) Uzunoğlu, Erdal; Ergül, Emre
    Theyears of 1980's and 1990's caused important changes in Turkish architecture. It is observed that the sovereign of modernism, which directed the Turkish architectural practiceand thought until these years, began to collapse. From now on, many style and thought can continue their existence together in the architectural field. Tourism architecturein Turkey has an important place in this change, living. Thus, it will not be wrongto say that the first field where these new ideas, new styles of after 80's revealed themselvesis the tourism architecture.It is impossible to abstract the changes lived in architectural field from the changes observed in the other fields of life. No doubt that, the economic, political and social changesinfluenced the architecture very much. Because of this, it is possible to be able to perceive and analyse exactly the changes lived in architectural scene, only with being able to define the changes in all these fields, which were considered as effected the architecture directly-indirectly. The economic and political changes lived in this period, were situated in this study initially because of this reason. In the following chapters, the marks of the changes lived in these fields are searched on the architecture of the period.Tourism architecture takes places in this study in the reason of constituting the field which the explosion of style lived in architecture in these years, best observed. The medium, which architecture participated in, is discussed with the examples of tourism architecture.Key words: Modernism, postmodernism, pluralism, popular culture, tourism architecture, planning policies, identity,

    Strategic Brand Communication Product Design
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2007) Tirit Ekmekçi, Handan; Ergül, Emre
    This thesis shows the importance of .strategic brand identity and strategic management of this identity through the product portfolio of the brand. and also the correspondence between them, with respect to create brand recognition and differentiation through brand specific design language, in a specific case by a qualitative case study approach. In this thesis, it is proposed a particular combination of both .Design Format Analysis. method of Anders Warell and heuristic method of Toni Matti Karjalainen on .Semantic Transformation in Design. to provide a heuristic method to identify how .Bang & Olufsen. seems to comprehend its strategic identity through its history and how the semiotic aspects of product design is used to promote it through strategic portfolio management (Warell 2001 and Karjalainen 2004). Although there are some main differences between these two approaches, Karjalainen and Warell indicate that the product portfolio of the brand needs to consist of products that, at least to a certain degree, incorporate common design elements and characteristics that embody brand specific meanings in order to support brand identity. The brand specific design language of B & O which is determined as .Flush Design Concept. is dynamic with a right balance between novelty and consistency by a long-term strategic brand communication through whole product portfolio considering both .internal design culture, design heritage of the company. and .the changing market.. The products of the company have strong identity and have a considerable impact on the visual recognition of B&O brand even though the company mostly prefers the .push. strategy in strategic design approach resulting from an innovative design approach and designing differentiating products instead of the .pull. strategy offered by a strong market-oriented approach. The semiotic aspects of .B&O typical Flush Design Concept. design style incorporate the core brand values such as .magical, inventiveness, originality, selectivity. and reinforce brand recognition and differentiation. The company manage to transmit intended messages to the target customers through the communicative qualities of brand-specific design language by .continuously renewal design based model of strategic change. (brand identity management) through .continuously renewal design driven innovation. product strategy.

    Assessment of Lighting Performance of Pvc and Pmma Materials in Office Spaces in Terms of Visual Comfort
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Öztürk, Müge; Ergül, Emre
    This research tests the plastic materials which can provide properly diffused illumination level and have smooth transmittance performance. Among these materials, two of them, PVC (polyvinylchloride) and PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) sheets are evaluated, compared with each other and application possibilities. Besides, one of most important evaluation criteria for efficient lighting in office spaces; transmission property of these materials is empirically tested in laboratory in the scope of this study. One of these, PMMA is produced on commercial purpose in Turkey and used with its well known name; Plexiglas and the other one; Barrisol is an officially registered trademark of PVC translucent strech sample used in test. This study is gathered by means of searching lighting literature, rather restricting the data about two specific plastic based materials used in offices and experimenting the transmission characteristics of plexiglas and Barrisol. Scientifically; transmitting and diffusing of a material are unattached properties and rather concerned with chemistry. But there is a measured certainity that Plexiglas has %92 and Barrisol %73 percentage of transmission value. The results of test also supports that; transmission percentage of plexiglas sample is higher than Barrisol. It is reached to the conclusion that; when light directly comes down on a workplane whithout being regularly dispersed, it will tire viewer.s eyes and deteriorate visual comfort, negatively affecting productivity in offices.

    A Typological Analysis of Parsel-House Relationship in Ottoman Western Anatolian Cities: the Case of Kula
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Saf, Hayriye Oya; Ergül, Emre
    There have been plenty of studies held in the course of time for the Ottoman City and the Ottoman House where effort has been spent to determine the origins of the Ottoman house and the plan typologies and to describe the social, administrative and economical structures of Ottoman cities through analyzing the cities and their urban patterns. However, it is worth notice that all the related researches lack any consideration based on analysis of the house-parcel in the Ottoman city. This study aims at searching for such a relationship in house . parcel with particular reference to Kula, 18th 19th century West Anatolia Ottoman city, and to examine the existence of any relationship as guided by due analyses to be held.In the first chapter, the main point of departure has been the definition of the problem. Through discussion on the studies, which have been accomplished as concerning the Ottoman house and Ottoman cities in related literature, those points of consideration that lack any detailed study have been determined. The scrutinization of related literature has then revealed that there exists, no researches related with either the existence nor non-existence of house and parcel relationship in Ottoman cities and with the intention to create a basis for similar researches to be established later, the decision has been given to work further on the house . parcel relationship. Those criteria thathave been adopted for considerations of location have been mentioned and the methods to be used for the study have been determined.In context of this study, the second chapter involves primarily the description of the physical structure of the Ottoman city to be later followed by examination of economical and social structures and an introductory explanation of administrative and economical institutions; and effort has been spent to determine the actors that undertake a role in production and production of the physical environment. Finally, the districts, which can be depicted as the basic units of the Ottoman city, have been elaborated in terms of their cultural and physical structures, organization, administration and daily life.The third chapter, on the other hand, discusses the origins of the Ottoman houses, the typological classifications made as concerning the plan types and states the general characteristics, elements and plan types of the Ottoman House and additionally, the regional house types and general characteristics of the West Anatolian houses have also been mentioned since the case study area has been chosen as Kula.In the fourth chapter prior to passing on to the case study, the historical background, the geographical and geological structures as well as physical structure of the case study area of Kula have been elaborated and in context of physical structure, effort has been spent to introduce the changes in urban pattern, the public buildings,architectural characteristics of house, construction materials and construction elements.In the case study, on the other hand, the studies within the selected area has been furthered by grouping of parcels according to their shapes, locations, sizes (areas) and the ratio acquired by division of house area into parcel area, all accomplished in the will to determine the house types. Following the analysis and grouping of all data in tables,the analyses on Parcel location . Parcel.s geometrical shape, House type . Parcel's geometrical shape, House type . Parcel location, House type . Parcel Area and House area / Parcel area . Parcel.s geometrical shape have been made and the obtained data have been further grouped in tables availing for interpretation of results.Finally in the conclusion, the percentage rates of all data obtained in chapter four have been calculated in the will to arrive at a statement based on these rates.
