    Analysing Pakistani Architecture in the Context of Critical Regionalism
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Bahadur, Aujala Naveed; Yılmaz, Ebru
    Pakistani architectural practise is adopting global trends and universal ideals without regard to its traditional roots, meanwhile critical regionalism has emerged as a significant global strategy for delivering a blend of legitimacy and contemporary architecture, particularly in developing nations. In addition, it promotes the production of architecture directly related to their surroundings and communities while being a component of the contemporary world. Therefore, using critical regionalism as a tool, this study will examine Pakistani architecture to understand the linkage between its tradition and modern technology. Within the scope of this thesis, theoretical studies on Critical Regionalism are first explored, concluded by eight aspects that, according to this research, go beyond what Kenneth Frampton and others had established. Then, an examination of the persisting problems in Pakistani architectural practises is performed. The following chapter examines critical regionalism in Pakistani architecture using the same eight factors. The examination includes the ideologies, works, and interviews with Pakistan's three most prominent architects: Nayyar Ali Dada, Kamil Khan Mumtaz, and Naeem Pasha. The research concludes by determining, via observations and deductions, the viability of critical regionalism as a tool. Due to a lack of publications on Pakistani architects and architecture, this study attempts to develop a framework for future studies on awareness and inspiration from selected architects' work.

    An Inquiry Into the Adoption Process of Building Information Modeling in Architectural Practice
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Baçnak, Tuğçe Zeynep; Çavka, Hasan Burak; Doğan, Fehmi
    Architectural practice went through various changes in time to adopt emerging technologies. Current and developing Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies enables the integration of project partners in early phases of a project life cycle, differing from traditional project delivery processes. Since BIM impacts people, process, and technology (PPT), the adoption of BIM invites radical transformations in these aspects. The aim of this study is to investigate BIM adoption in small design offices from a socio-technical perspective by focusing on individuals' experiences to analyze the motivation for BIM adoption, the factors in adoption, and the strategies through which BIM is integrated into the architectural design processes. Case study analysis is used as the research method and data was collected through five interviews from two offices. Afterwards, analytical coding was implemented to analyze the data. Findings demonstrated that the level of BIM adoption is related to the coevolution of PPT. The inefficient workflow of previous processes was found to be the main motivation for BIM adoption. Whereas the impact of people was a major factor in the adoption phases on the strategies for adoption and barriers in adoption were mainly human related. People were a critical factor in making the decision to go through the adoption. Technological aspects, instead, were considered later when the decision on adoption was given. These findings showed that the impacts of BIM adoption factors, PPT, vary throughout the BIM adoption phases. The major human-based issues in early phases of adoption showed that to implement BIM in current workflows a socio-technical approach is essential.

    The Impact of Civil Initiative Attempts in Architectural Practice
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Öztaş, Nazmiye; Yılmaz, Ebru
    This study primarily examines the impact of civil initiative attempts in architectural practice. As one of the key actors of social movements, the study focuses on civil initiatives and the alternative spatial practices of these civil initiatives. In addition to this, a comparison will be made between the collective experiences of today's civil initiative and the collective experiences of past and present social movements, and the similarities and differences between them will be revealed in this study. Within the scope of this thesis, firstly theoretical studies in this field are discussed and after then a case study which examines the civil initiatives and their alternative spatial practices is carried out through the six-selected art & design examples in Turkey. In the case study, analysis is carried through the six determined points of concern as; "motto and slogans", "motivation and goals", "actor and actor groups", "organizational structures", "action models" and "design approaches". During the data collection process of the case study, in-depth interviews have been conducted with these six collectives and open-ended questions are asked. The written transcripts obtained from these interviews are analyzed with the content analysis method. In brief, this study explores the potentials of the spatial practices and spatial design processes of the civil initiatives and their contributions into the main-stream architectural practice.
