Master Thesis A Research on Structural Design Approaches Within the Scope of Theory and Application(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1998) Korkmaz, Koray; Eyüce, ÖzenThe integration of creative, imaginative and economically feasible structures into the design process of _buildings has always been an essential issue in the history of architecture. The aim of this study is; to explore the relationship between the design of structural systems and the formation of architectural space, to display the changes in structure/space relationship in respect to scientific progress from the beginning of the age of positivism until today. This study is structured in two parts. At first, a morphological classification is made within a retrospective overview to explore the relationship of structure and space. Secondly, the age of positivism and the effects of positivism on architectural theories are explored to determine the changes in structure/space relationship. Today, the new developments in architectural space concept, such as "dynamic stability" affects the design of structures. Still, it is clear that the structure is an indispensable necessity during the process of shaping the space and architectural end product "building", whether the space is static or dynamic.Master Thesis The Assessment of a New Relationship Between From and Structure in Digital Architectural Design Affter 1990's(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2013) Demir, Yelin; İnceköse, ÜlküFrom the beginning of 1960’s, architects are using computers in architectural design processes. Initially, architects used them as design tools for representation and modelling purposes. However from the beginning of 1990’s, architects started to use computers as design mediums where the whole design process evolves starting from design ideation to construction. Digital technologies enabled architects to design wide range of forms in digital design environments and therefore, form-based design processes appeared. Architects mostly focused on form generation concerns. However, this form based approach brought forth problems in relation to constructability. Complex irregular forms challenged engineers to find optimal structural solutions. Architects and engineers started to work on a unified architectural and structural design process and offered new structural system solutions with the help of digital technologies for overcoming the constructability problem. This process and solutions presented different form-structure relationships. The main aim of this thesis is to reveal the form-structure relationships in digital design processes focusing on constructability of digitally designed forms. Constructability is related to structural system design. Therefore, this thesis examines design, manufacturing and construction processes of structural systems to understand how architectural designs/forms are realized and constructed. It examines the whole process of design to construction of structural systems including models, tools, structural system solutions, and fabrication and construction methods. The examination is done over case studies which are digitally designed and constructed building examples. Each case study exemplifies a different model, tool, structural system and design process which also defines a different type of form-structure relationship. Key words: digital architectural design, structural design, form, structure, construction
