    Colour Design of Exterior Surfaces as an Expression of Architectural Thought
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2001) Kaynak Bayık, Ahenk; Erkarslan, Özlem
    Based on the postulation of the architectural end products communicate with the context by means of their exterior surfaces, this study claims that colour as a design concept is one of the main elements in expressing the architectural thought through out the products' surfaces. Being in a universe where human beings identify the three dimensionality with their perceptions, surface becomes one of the main concepts in identifying and communicating with the environment which they live in. The identification and communication of an object exposes itself through the way which it have been created. This exposition can be the structural and physical properties of the object where as it can be a semantic reflection of its designers' thoughts and personal expressions. The architect utilises the surfaces of the architectural end-products as a canvas in order to reflect their architectural thoughts. However, apart from the other objects, architects' canvases is three dimensional and they are two sided as inner and exterior surfaces. The architectural product's inner surface can be considered as the bordering surface of the designed space. On the other hand, the exterior surface should be considered as the inner skin of the environment.Within this thesis the components which visualises the thoughts of the designer, as the exterior facades of the building becomes the surfaces of environmental borders, these components will be studied as a part of this design process. Since colour is an important concept of the design process, it will be emphasised within its exterior surface application and its design notions. Especially, in the developing countries colour concept usually comes to the fore just as an esthetical component on the surfaces of the architectural products and can not go further than being a dye which is chosen during the last stage of the construction process. In these circumstances, colour as a surface property becomes one of the main reasons of the visual decay in the cityscapes. In this respect, this thesis does not only point out that colour is one of the main components of the design process but also indicates that colour is an inherent part of the expression of the architectural thought on the exterior surfaces of the architectural design objects which should be considered in relating with the characteristics of the environment. Keywords: Surface, Architectural Surface, Exterior Surface, Environmental Skin, Colour, Colour Perception, Functional Colour, Surface Colour, Colour in Architecture.

    The Peculiarities of Light as a Quality in Architecture
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2000) Kutlu, H. Gökhan; Erkarslan, Özlem
    This study focuses on the evolution of lighting, both natural and artificial, and its effects on space. The twentieth century is taken as a focal time period, which had witnessed great developments in lighting field that caused inevitable transformations on space and spatial concepts. The evolution of artificial light, the significant innovations in building technology, and the new requirements formed under the desires of a new society are examined in their relation to architectural context with respond to light and lighting in space.The research includes cases from architectural and artistic world, and tries to investigate the role of light in the built environment. These cases are examined in a comparative way, considering the psychical and experiential characteristics of light in order to define its meaning for space.The study consists of two parts. In the first part the process of the evolution of lighting in the twentieth century, its position today, and the social, cultural, and technological alterations are examined deterministically. The second part is a classification of cases under the guidance of some concepts, which defines the interaction of light and space.

    Life Ciycle Assessment (lca) Based Home Rating Model for Izmir (hrm-Izmir)
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2007) Bozkurt, Eray; Erkarslan, Özlem
    This thesis presents the development and application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based home rating model for residential buildings in Izmir. It aims to develop building performance assessment within a single application. This new application supports various considerations throughout the building.s life cycle in relation to performance domains such as site ecology, energy consumption, material selection, lighting availability, transportation and the rest of the performance indicators. It is intended to encourage initiatives toward achieving better housing performance. ATHENA Canadian Software tool has been selected to calculate quantitive values for energy consumption, solid waste emission, air pollution index, water pollution index, global warming potential, weighted resource use. Then, thirty performance indicators, which were selected from the review of existing evaluation models has been grouped under four building life cycle stages, site selection, construction, operation, and demolition. The weights of each category and indicator has been calculated, and converted into a credit score. Then, the performance grades are divided into five levels, (excellent, good, average, below average and poor) and evaluation criteria are suggested based on statutory performance value.

    The Construction of Turkish Modern Architecture in Architectural History Writing
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2003) Boyacıoğlu, Bilgen; Erkarslan, Özlem
    This study concentrates on architectural historiography, which functions as an independent medium of activity and production within the discipline of architecture and affects architectural practice directly or indirectly. Historiography, which has been handled as one of the realms of discourse production, has been evaluated in terms of the formation of conditions in the framework of this study. Besides restrictions that stem from discourse's own structure, the compelling factors, which are caused by these formative conditions, have been examined, and extant methods to overcome these problems have been discussed in the realm of architectural historiography. In this framework, this study claims that history writing of architecture has to be handled in terms of its own epistemology in order to attain efficacy. The study aims at evaluating the historiography of Turkish modern architecture in the frame of the phenomenon of an emergent discourse as the indicator of the nation-state ideology and its exclusions.Within the scope of the study, the historiography of Turkish modern architecture has been evaluated critically, and different conceptions of modernity have been interrogated. The concept of modernity, which is a self-generating social process that started in the Ottoman Empire, and the concept of modernity, which was produced by nation-state ideology and based on the physical indicators of the process of Western modernization, have been comparatively evaluated in terms of how they handled the realm of architectural historiography. The study argues critically that one of the two different architectural practices, which were developed the different conceptions of modernity, found focus on in architectural historiography. Thus the other was excluded.As a result of this evaluation, the study proposes that a different architectural historiographic method, which includes what was so far been the excluded, has to be developed.Keywords: historiography, architectural historiography, modernism, nation-state, historiography of Turkish modern architecture.
