Article 20. Yüzyıldan Günümüze Bir Kentsel Doğa Parçası: Papazın Bağı(2023) Tükenmez, Başak; Sökülmez, Buse EzgiAraştırma, nitelikli bir doğal koruma alanını ve ticari bir işletmeyi içeren doğa parçası Papazın Bağı’nın, 20. yüzyılın başından günümüze mikro tarihinin, şekillenme ve dönüşüm süreçlerinin ‘kentsel doğa’ kavramı çerçevesinde derinlikli bir incelemesini ve değerlendirilmesini yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, bağ ve bağ evi yaşamının Kuloğlu ailesi tarafından terk edildiği ve kentleşmenin etkisiyle alanın kentsel doğa karakteri kazandığı 1960’lı ve 1970’li yıllar dönüm noktası olarak kabul edilerek Papazın Bağı mikro tarihi iki aşamada ele alınmaktadır. Birinci aşamada bağ ve bağ evi kültürü, ikinci aşamada kentleşme ve kentsel doğa ekseninde, Papazın Bağı kentsel doğasının günümüze kadar olan değişim ve dönüşüm süreçlerini meydana getiren etkenler, aktörler ve olaylar; buna bağlı olarak insan, yapılı çevre ve doğanın karşılıklı etkileşimleri ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Papazın Bağı kentsel doğa parçası, çok aktörlü bir örneklem ve laboratuvar olarak ele alınarak insan, kültür ve kenti doğaya karşıt kavramlar olarak konumlandıran anlatıların ötesine geçilmeye çalışılmaktadır.Article An Analysis of Visitors’ Perceptions of Shopping Malls †(MDPI, 2023) Çavka, Hasan BurakShopping malls have been a significant part of our daily lives for decades. Their significance is derived from the use of these spaces based on great numbers of people, as well as the role malls play in culture. On the other hand, the design of malls has been constantly evolving according to the needs of users and the market. This study is based on survey data that we collected from ninety visitors of a shopping mall located in Izmir, Turkiye. Through the survey, we collected data on topics such as the participants’ visit frequency and reasons for visiting the mall, architectural and spatial features they favor and/or dislike, their opinions on where they perceive malls in everyday life, and their opinions on alternative spaces to malls. The data collection was finalized right before the pandemic, which significantly changed the way we think about public spaces, as well as malls, in relation to architecture. Analyzing collected data provides further insight into surveyed customers’ perception of spaces, the design of shopping malls, the use of the space, the preferred design features, as well as design features that drive customers away from the mall. The analysis was later compared and linked to studies in the literature. These research findings have the potential to be used in studies that evaluate mall design and space use, as well as in studies that compare the post-pandemic perception of spaces and the use of shopping malls. © 2023 by the author.Article Accessibility in Intensive Care Units: a Qualitative Study on Exploring Architects’ Perspective(İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, 2023) Khoojıne, Negar Sioofy; Kasalı, Altuğ; Bayar, Mualla ErkılıçThisstudyaddresseshealthcaredesigners’perspectivesconcerningthearchitectural features within the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) environments that can impact visual and physical access to patients. In line with patient-centered approaches, providing accessible environments in ICUs is becoming increasingly critical for healthcare providers. The existing literature suggests various architectural features to influence levels of access to patients. How architects prioritize these features and translate them into the configuration of ICU environments has not been explored extensively. A series of semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the perspectives of healthcare architects in the context of Turkey. The interviews were conducted with twelve participants with recent experiences in ICU design. The research followed a thematic analysis to link the qualitative data with the participants’ drawings that emerged during interviews. Five essential themes emerged, including: “Unit Model,” “Unit Layout,” “Unit Size,” “Bed Position,” and “Transparent Material.” The participants implied configurational models, including “open ward” and “single-patient room,” to facilitate high levels of accessibility. Beyond the key decisions concerning layouts, the participants also emphasized the strategic use of transparent materials, which was considered critical in establishing visual access within units. The findings suggest that healthcare architects mostly favor open wards as a suitable model to provide high levels of physical access by decreasing nurses’ walking distances during shifts and visual accessibility by enhancing nurses’ capacity to supervise the patients within ICU environments. The findings can advance our understanding of how the issue of access is formulated and implemented in ICU settings.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Decoding and Predicting the Attributes of Urban Public Spaces With Soft Computing Models and Space Syntax Approaches(Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe, 2023) Yönder, Veli Mustafa; Doğan, Fehmi; Çavka, Hasan Burak; Tayfur, Gökmen; Dülgeroğlu, ÖzümPeople spend a considerable amount of time in public spaces for a variety of reasons, albeit at various times of the day and during season. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for both urban designers and local authorities to try to gain an understanding of the architectural qualities of these spaces. Within the scope of this study, squares and green parks in Izmir, the third largest city in Turkey, were analyzed in terms of their dimensions, landscape characteristics, the quality of their semi-open spaces, their landmarks, accessibility, and overall aesthetic quality. Using linear predictor, general regression neural networks, multilayer feed-forward neural networks (2-3-4-5-6 nodes), and genetic algorithms, soft computing models were trained in accordance with the results of the conducted analyses. Meanwhile, using space syntax methodologies, a visibility graph analysis and axial map analysis were conducted. The training results (i.e., root mean square error, mean absolute error, bad prediction rates for testing and training phases, and standard deviation of absolute error) were obtained in a comparative table based on training times and root mean square error values. According to the benchmarking table, the network that most accurately predicts the aesthetic score is the 2-node MLFNN, whereas the 6-node MLFN network is the least successful network. © 2023, Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe.

These conditions influence occupants' visual comfort and perception. Thus, the design of the glazing component becomes more of an issue. With the emerging smart window technologies, the design options have expanded. These technologies have been investigated mainly in terms of energy performance. This paper presents a literature review of smart windows and their performance on visual comfort and human perception. Experimental studies that conducted measurements or surveys in this field are evaluated. The results of the study showed that with the growing technology of smart windows, it is possible to increase visual comfort and human satisfaction indoors. However, there are performance deficiencies that create particular problems for occupants. The aim of this paper is to collect the studies on smart glazing in terms of visual comfort and human perception and bring out the potential of smart window technologies for human-centric indoors. © 2023 IEEE.Article Citation - Scopus: 6A Field Study on Adaptive Thermal Comfort in a Naturally Ventilated Design Studio Class in the Post-Pandemic Period(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2022) Pekdoğan, Tuğçe; Avcı, Ali BerkayDesign studios are where design students spend most of their time learning theory and practices. For this reason, thermal comfort conditions in studios are crucial to provide a suitable environment for education. Especially in the post-pandemic period, thermal comfort conditions have become more critical in educational buildings. The present study focuses on the adaptive thermal comfort condition in an architectural design studio in the Mediterranean climate of Izmir/Turkey. The study aims to evaluate the comfort conditions of the students and determine the effect of mask use on thermal sensation in the post-pandemic period. For this purpose, air temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity measurements were collected during the studio hours in the spring semester when the heating and cooling systems were not working. Additionally, a thermal sensation survey was conducted with 42 students. The results showed that the thermal comfort level was within the 90% acceptability limits according to the ASHRAE Standard-55. According to the survey results, the use of masks by the students did not have a significant effect on thermal perception. © 2022, Alam Cipta.

Binaların mimari konfigürasyonlarının ve tasarım normlarının da enerji performansına doğrudan etkisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Avrupa Birliği içerisinde enerji tüketimini azaltmak için çıkartılan enerji verimliliği yasaları dikkate alındığında, Türkiye, halen, Avrupa Birliği’nin en son çıkan Binalarda Enerji Performansı Yönergesi 2010/31/EC’ e uymak için yönetmelikler çıkarmakla yükümlüdür. Türkiye’nin en yeni yönetmeliği, mevcut binaların enerji performansının değerlendirilmesi hakkında bilgi gerektirmektedir. Böylece, bu çalışma İzmir’ deki konut binalarının enerji performanslarını belirlemeyi, istatistiksel analizlerle enerji performansları ile tasarım verimlilik göstergeleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Uygulama projeleri elde edilerek belirli alan bazlı oranlar ve bina ölçüleri mimari tasarım göstergeleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Örnek binaların enerji performansları, Türk standardı olan TS825 ile Avrupa standardı olan EB ISO 13790’ı temel alarak hazırlanan Konutlarda Enerji Performansı Standart Değerlendirme Metodu (KEP-SDM) kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar bize öylesine bir ipucu sunmaktadır ki değişkenler arasındaki etkileşim ile bunların binaların enerji performansı ve CO2 salımlarına olan etkilerinin düşünülmesi gereklidir. Ayrıca, elde edilen bulgular, ülkemizde örnek seçilen bir şehir olan İzmir’deki konut bina stoğu hakkında da geribildirim sağlamaktadır.
