    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Gerçek, Bilge; Günaydın, Hüsnü Murat; İlal, Mustafa Emre; İlal, Mustafa Emre; Günaydın, Hüsnü Murat; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging concept in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry promising to replace traditional 2D based construction documentation and management procedures and to reduce rework and cost in project execution. The level of information that could be assigned to building objects in BIM technologies could provide vast amounts of benefits to construction projects throughout projects’ life-cycle. Implementation of BIM, however, requires strategic planning to enable achieving these potential benefits. Industry-wide and organizational implementation guidelines and standards have been published around the world either to encourage organizations to adopt BIM or to present the minimum requirements to be followed where BIM implementation is a statutory obligation. In contrast, BIM implementation and/or deliverables has not been mandated by government or organizations yet in Turkey, therefore organizations which plan to adopt BIM processes have to develop their own implementation plans. The purpose of this study is to provide guidance in BIM implementation for construction companies particularly during the construction phase of the building projects. BIM standards and guidelines, and studies related to BIM implementation have been reviewed and important aspects of implementation have been identified. A case study of BIM implementation at a large construction company in Turkey to conduct quantity takeoff and cost estimation are presented and unique challenges of BIM implementation in Turkish AEC industry are discussed.

    Energy and Environmental Performance Based Decision Support Process for Early Design Stage of Residential Buildings
    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Gerçek, Mümine; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Deficiencies in systematic approaches for design decision support to increase energy and environmental performance of buildings in Turkey are projected as the major problem of this study. Rare usage of computational methods for evaluating and improving building performance, need for informational assistance in design, as well as lack of interaction between systematic knowledge and building practice are the secondary problems. This thesis mainly aims to test usability of the decision support process assisting architects in early design stages of residential buildings. Assessing the uncertainties in building performance caused by design parameters and climate change, in terms of determining the most significant parameters on annual energy consumption for heating, cooling and operational CO2 emissions in hot humid climatic region of Turkey is the significant objective of the study. The relation between input parameters and building performance indicators is examined by the uncertainty and global sensitivity analyses for a residential building in İzmir, Turkey. The process is supported by usability testing held with the architect in practice. The results indicate that, the sensitivity between input and output parameters changes according to the projected weather conditions and different floors of the building. The SHGC of windows on south-west, north-east facades, and window U values are the most effective parameters on energy and environmental performance. The proposed decision support process is approved to be applicable for early design stages of the selected building, and helps creating consciousness about the importance of systematic design decision approach for the building professional.

    The Evolution and Change of Building Facades: a Research for Developing Alternative Composite Surface Materials
    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2007) Çıkış, Dilaver Turgut; Günaydın, Hüsnü Murat; Günaydin, Hüsnü Murat; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Cladding of buildings is an important and commonly applied activity area of building sector. As it is known major purpose of cladding is to separate the indoor environment from the outdoors in such a way that indoor environment conditions can be maintained at level suitable for the buildings intended use. Therefore from the functional point of view it can be defined as, the part of the building that is non load bearing exterior wall that must defend the interior spaces against invasion by water, wind, sun, light, heat and cold, and all the other forces of nature. Besides this it must also fulfill the aesthetic, economic and security consideration. The design of the building façade has become much more complicated with development of new methods of construction, the requirements for a highly controlled interior environments, stress on energy efficiency, advent of materials and new production methods. But it seems that available technologies on ordinary building sector relay on the analog production methods. Analog production process depends on technical drawings and the interpretation of drawings. The human interpretation is the basics of the systems. On the other hand, new design tools that introduced by computer aided design programs proposes new conceptions of space that beyond the limits of Cartesian understanding of form and construction. It is known that computer aided design and production methods are applied pervasively in numerous different sectors. Articulation of computer aided design and manufacturing processes with digitally driven assemblage methods is an important task that is expected to be solved by the building sector. Building envelope systems as being one of the most important building component from the points of both identity and utility of buildings, is has to be reconsidered as a part of the adaptation of whole construction sector. It is also a measure of responsibility on the part of architects. Besides material design, production processes, and connection details of the components with the other parts of the building are the other important dimensions of the envelope systems.

    Collaboration in architectural design competitions
    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2013) Erbil, Livanur; Doğan, Fehmi; Doğan, Fehmi; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This study investigates design collaboration with reference to convergent and divergent idea generation processes, conceptual, spatial, temporal and technological barriers, and roles and relationships in architectural design teams entering a design competition. Study of design teams offer a unique opportunity to investigate how creativity is fostered through collaborative work. While views of creativity often relate creativity to individual originality, collaboration requires different designers to work together towards one common design idea and consider as many different ideas as possible. In collaborative design, it would be easier to offer a variety of ideas but equally difficult to establish a consensus on a single idea. To investigate the role of convergent and divergent thinking in the design process, first, 30 professional architects, who participated in competitions as a team, were interviewed via phone. Phone interviews were analyzed thematically to investigate how teams came together and how team participants overcame spatial, temporal, conceptual, and technological barriers. Convergent and divergent idea generation phases were analyzed to understand how team participants generate multiple ideas and converge on one single issue. Second, three groups of architecture students, who participated in competitions as a team, were interviewed. Interviews were analyzed thematically to investigate how teams overcame spatial, temporal, conceptual, and technological barriers. It is concluded that barriers and roles of participants in design collaboration interact with convergent and divergent concept generation.

    Architecture of Societies in Multicultural Region: the Case of Vernacular Architecture at Datça Peninsula
    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2005) Kaya, Can; Ergül, M. Emre; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Mediterranean Basin is one of the oldest settlement areas in the world with its 9000 years of history. The interaction between societies, which got even stronger with the organized trade routes in the area, is the most characteristic property of the Mediterranean Basin. The Aegean and Mediterranean shores of Anatolia witnessed the shared lives of Turkish-Muslims, Greek-Orthodox, and even the Italians for more than 500 years. That's why it is possible to call this area, as "interference zone" or "transition region".One of the areas that is located on Anatolia's interference zone is Datça Peninsula. This thesis is conducted over the vernacular building stock that was built in the peninsula from the 19th century to mid 20th century. The settlements of Çeşme District and Yaka Village, are comprehended in this thesis. One roomed living units are named as main units. Main units and its fireplaces were examined. The tables, that show the size and location of the fireplace, were constituted. Analysises were done over these tables. The aim is to document the building stock in this area and to analyse on the fireplace. Consequently, it was discovered that the main units have clues belonging to Turkish Room, such as seki üstü / seki altı. It was also understood that the fireplace is the pre-condition of identifying the unit as living space.
