    A Study on Technological Expression in Architecture
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1998) Yılmaz, Ebru; Eyüce, Ahmet
    Within the scope of this study, while questioning the relations between technology and architecture, their effects on human life has also been analyzed with all due aspects pertaining to the formation of the architectural end-product. Its role in the process of architectural design is parallel to this relationship.In this study, the idea which is aimed to achieve is that technology which was once a part of an artisanal production, has been taken up as a problem of modernization in the development of industrialization. The study which aims at demonstrating this alterations, tries to question the ways of seeking a tectonically sensitive dimension in architecture in the age of information including a series of comparative analysis.Within the scope of this study, while putting forward the spatial characteristics of high-tech architecture as a follower of a constructive tradition, building technology of the last decade in Turkey has been included in the discussion.The discussion has been enriched by conceptual definitions in order to determine the terminology of the subject. In addition to the retrospective overviews, architectural concepts of the eras have been presented.The findings of the study has been approved that the technical knowledge today is not limited as the knowledge of classical crafts technique, but it should be the rationalization of both the technical and the traditional. Most of the high-tech designs today use a kind of craft technique based on the machine production. In addition, the structural elements accomplished for the sake of visual impact ate not "technological", but "scenographic" and "representational" as a matter of tectonic expression.Keywords: philosophy of technology, modern age, tectonics, information age, hightech, architectural design approaches.

    An Analytical Study of Creativity in Architectural Design:case Study of National Architectural Awards
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Kandilci, Ebru; Eyüce, Ahmet
    The subject of the thesis is in general based on the concept of creativity and specialised on creativity in the architectural design process. The topic, which is taken into consideration as the investigation of architectural creativity, begins with the definitions of creativity concept related with the design approaches. Throughout the evolution of these definitions, the common denominator of psycology, sociology, behavioral sciences and architectural design concepts are tried to be clarified. The creativity studied on the basis of concept, individuals and theories later developed as deciphering the classification of effecting channels of architectural design process.The classification consists of three main parts: 'personal channels' involving childhood, fantasy, imagination, metaphor, intelligence, self confidence, 'social channels' including education, national culture-history, religious factors, client, and 'environmental channels' that involve nature, material and climate. The concrete examples of this study are chosen among the projects of the leading architects in Turkiye. The first parameter for elimination is National Architectural Exhibition and Awards. Projects among National Architectural Exhibition and Awards are selected according to the criteria for architectural creativity related with the concepts such as originality, newness and contemporaneity which are not very far apart from the criteria of the jury. Concept of originality also includes sub-titles such as architectural language, conceptual approach, technology, material and at each sample different concepts primarily appears. To consider the existence of these criteria provides the evaluation of the samples related with the fact of creativity.

    Evolution of the Architectural Form Based on the Geometrical Concepts
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Yılmaz, Serkan; Eyüce, Ahmet
    This study aims to reveal utilizes of basic geometrical elements in aspect to architectural form and space organization. In this consideration, architectural idea has been taken up within the framework ofform, space, and geometrical concepts throughout the study. Essentially, this work has three major objectives. The first is to look at the basic geometrical elements (point, line, plane, primary shapes, solid, etc.) which are based on the grammar of architectural form and then define the grammar that can be used to organize meaningful architectural compositions.The second objective is to relate these components of architectural form and to show how to organize them within the framework of geometrical rules. Through this organization the reader will develop to ability to consciously read a work of architecture and perhaps will even enhance his ability to design by using the grammar as a framework for logical self-criticism. The third is to look at the examples of building which have been designed according to geometrical concepts throughout the history of architecture.As a result of this overview it is aimed that architects still find some inspirations from earlier or current buildings while analyzing or designing them geometrically.It is hoped that in the end the reader will have developed a greater understanding and enjoyment of architecture. And if he/she is and architect, his/her works may become more effective. Key Words: Basic Geometry, Pure Geometrical Forms, Geometrical Organizations, Formal Design, Abstract Geometrical Concepts, Design Fundamentals, Geometrical Design, Architectural Morphology.

    The Concept of Heterogeneity and Hetereo-Architecture in the Context of Plurality in the Postmodern Age
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1998) Kutucu, Seçkin; Eyüce, Ahmet
    In the scope of this thesis, modernist approaches In architecture, modernist language and style are questioned and alternative philosophical and scientific discourses are analyzed in the context of mainly, postmodern discourse.Heterogeneous architecture or In Charles Jencks's term HeteroArchitecture, is tried to be analyzed in the scope of postmodern pluralism. Key Words: Heterogeneous architecture, hetero-architecture heterogeneity, hybridity, heterotopia, multi-culturalism, pluralism and symbiosis in architecture.

    Architectural Periodicals as a Reflective Medium of the Agenda: a Study on Turkish Architectural Media During the Republican Period
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Özdel, İlker; Eyüce, Ahmet
    This study claims that architectural periodicals, which reflect architectural production of their period, also serve as independent mediums of activity and production within the discipline of architecture. In this respect, the study proposes that architectural periodicals can be used as means to evaluate the architectural present and aims to examine the architectural process of Republican Turkey with respect to the transformations and interruptions that can be observed in the simultaneous architectural periodicals. Within the scope of the study, in order to verify the two-way relationship between the architectural periodicals and the architectural agenda; periodical publications have primarily been evaluated as a form of media, with a focus on the transmitting, interpretive, critical and trans formative approaches of the periodical publications in the field of design and architecture. This conceptual framework has been used to investigate the reflections of transformations in the political, cultural, economical and social dynamics on architecture and architectural publishing. As a result of this evaluation, the study presents an interpretation of the contemporary architectural milieu in Turkey with a critical approach based on architectural periodicals.This academic work should also be considered as an initiative effort for the documentation of the sixty years of Turkish architectural publishing.Keywords: media, periodical publications, architectural periodicals, architectural theory, architectural praXIS, architectural criticism, Republican Period, Turkish Architecture, 1980.

    Axiality in the Process of Space Organization in Architecture
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Dinçer, Özgür; Eyüce, Ahmet
    The 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.

    Cyberspace, as a Generator Concept for the Future
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Kan, Gözde; Eyüce, Ahmet
    Within the scope of this study, while questioning the impacts of digital technology on the individual and architecture, the thesis contains theories and projections relating to the new and future possibilities of the architectural design process in the information age, as explored through the digital medium as well as the transfer of the digital ideas into reality. The aim is to widen the understanding of the new possibilities for architecture. The concepts, metaphors, possibilities, techniques and expressions available to the designers of the virtual world, are discussed and exemplified. The new applications and opportunities that the digital world has to offer .cyber-architects. of the future are explored.The thesis aimed to form a discussion on investigating the role of computer on design, and what the idea of virtuality offer to architecture related with the projects. In this regard, the idea which is aimed to achieve is in all these transformations, architecture, too, lives challenges inside and tries to find a new way in expressing the ideas together with cooperating the other disciplines. Today, in every field of our life, we have been liberalizated, or more truly, virtualized. A general movement of virtualization has begun to affect not only the fields of information and communication but also our physical presence so as architecture. As a result, thesis, tries to answer the questions of .what is the break-through?. .Is the break-through only in technology, not in architecture? or .is the computer more than a representational tool?. including a series of comparative analysis.Key Words: cyberspace, virtual reality, computer aided design, information technology, hypersurface and liquid architecture, future, media, architectural space, philosophy, digital architecture, information age, internet, interaction, simulacr, cyberpunk, cyberception, cyberculture.
