It offers advantages through its immersive and interactive interface. There is, however, a need to investigate both its strengths and weaknesses especially in relation to the claim that it is a close surrogate for real-world performances. This study reports the findings of a meta-analysis on distance estimation (DE) in VR. Distance estimation, essential for spatial perception, remains to be a problem in VR even with advanced head-mounted displays. The study questions whether VR can match the real-world performance in DE to highlight its shortcomings as well as its potentials. The meta-analysis includes 77 pieces of data from 29 studies and investigates whether DE accuracy has improved and how DE interacts with task type, task environment, and target range. The results indicate VR is still underperforming in DE, head-mounted display’s weight is the significant factor, and task type and task environment significantly interact with DE. We conclude VR needs to be specifically tailored regarding the needs of practitioners in architecture and engineering industry and that it is not yet a substitute for real-world performances. © The Author(s) 2025.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Fifth-, Sixth-, and Seventh- Grade Students' Use of Non-Classroom Spaces During Recess: the Case of Three Private Schools in Izmir, Turkey(Academic Press Inc., 2010) Kasalı, Altuğ; Doğan, FehmiThis study investigates fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students' place preferences between indoor and outdoor non-classroom spaces during recess and their activity patterns in these spaces in three private elementary schools. The study explores whether differences in the variety and organization of the spaces of school facilities have an impact on the place preferences of students and whether students are aware of the reasons for their preferences. Students' place preferences and their activities were determined with field observations and a 30-item questionnaire with Yes/No and open-ended questions. A total of 173 students (n = 51 School 1; n = 70 School 2; and n = 52 School 3) participated in the questionnaire. The Chi-Square test, a non-parametric statistical analysis test, was used to analyze the students' answers to the questionnaire. The results indicate that students prefer places which offer variety and which are large enough to avoid congestion and that, in general, students are aware of the spatial features of their environments and make choices accordingly. When students are given a choice of outdoors or indoors, they tend to choose according to which is more conducive to their activities. If both outdoor and indoor spaces are conducive, students tend to use both. If neither is conducive to their activities, students either alter their behavior patterns, for example, developing a preference for stationary activities or staying inside the classroom, or they convert available spaces to accommodate their activities. It is concluded that students are good sources of information in the design and planning of the environments they occupy. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.Article A Cross-Domain Systematic Review on Guest Speakers in Higher Education: Reconsidering the Role of "outsiders" in Architecture Education(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2024) Kasali, Altug; Akış, Tonguç; Abdel-aziz, DaniaGuest speaker events, as a form of instructional strategy in higher education settings, has long been recognized as a valid pedagogical method, whereas the factors that either promote or hinder the efficacy of this strategy in architecture education has not been extensively investigated. Accordingly, this paper presents a cross-domain literature review on the topic. The findings of the review have led to a discussion on guest speakers in design studios as an effective manifestation of inquiry-based learning (IBL). By searching 8 databases using the PICO framework, a systematic literature review was conducted to an in-depth examination of 35 articles across 25 domains in higher education, followed by a thematic analysis considering Braun and Clarke’s approach. The interpretive analysis yielded six themes: (1) bridging academia and practice, (2) speaker selection, (3) event planning, (4) content and format, (5) interaction mode, and (6) students’ preferences. While incorporating guest speakers can enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and networking, successful implementation hinges on addressing several factors such as the role of instructors’ guidance and tailoring topics and guest speakers’ selection with students' levels. Students' engagement with guest speakers in exploring content, issues, real-world perspectives and questions aligns with experiential learning and IBL principles. The study underscores the need for additional research in architecture education to understand students’ and instructors’ perceptions, concerning the role of guest speakers particularly on issues like contributions to learning, influence on design approaches and the implications for developing collaborative pedagogical practices.Master Thesis An Evaluation of Non-Classroom Spaces of Private Elementary Schools in I·zmir: Investigating Facors Affecting Interactions Among Students(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Kasalı, Altuğ; Doğan, FehmiThis study investigates the role of non-classroom spaces of elementary school buildings where informal interactions among students take place in the example of private elementary schools in zmir, Turkey. The non-classroom spaces that students prefer during their free times are important in the way they facilitate peer interactions which may contribute to informal learning processes. The elementary school students' space and activity preferences were investigated in their free times by focusing on nonclassroom spaces of school buildings. Multiple case study method is used. The cases were selected among private elementary schools in zmir based on their educational programs and based on their characteristics of indoor and outdoor non-classroom spaces. Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) techniques were used to collect data. The research indicated that regardless of differences among schools, students want to interact with their friends during breaks. Students prefer to spend their free time at places that facilitate these interactions. This study provides a brief list of activities and places that students prefer during their free time. There is evidence suggesting that places where students prefer to spend time differ from one school to another in terms of indoors and outdoors. The research indicates that students involve in similar activities with different frequencies in schools studied and in case when students are given a choice between indoor and outdoor spaces with different degree of variety they are conscious of the difference and they tend to pick spaces which offer higher variety.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.Master Thesis The Effects of Spatial Layout of Healthcare Facilities on Staff Communication(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) İleri, Nurcan; Kasalı, Altuğ; Doğan, FehmiThe space occupancy patterns of staff stand out as one of the basic function of spatial configurations that affects communication, behavior and teamwork in healthcare facilities. There is a strong relationship between staff communication, behavior and the occupancy of space in healthcare facilities, since space is considered as a primary factor to shape the modes of interaction involving occupants and care protocols. This study focuses on the space occupancy of nurses working in inpatient units (IU) as the primary form of data, and comparatively examines three different IUs with different spatial layouts, and contrasts and compares differences within. This research brings together different methods including on-site (observations, surveys, and interviews) and off-site (space syntax and statistical analysis) analytical techniques to understand the distinctive dimensions of space such as accessibility, visibility, and physical proximity. The findings of the study reveal the potential effects of different spatial layouts and space organizations to create different densities on circulation loads, which may in turn impact occupancy, accessibility, and visibility, and also communication within the unit. Although there are morphological differences between the three units, the findings suggest that particular key areas emerge to affect occupancy. There are particular zones -to attract dense circulation- observed in the units involving staff-related areas (nurse stations, nurse rooms, and medication preparation rooms) across the corridors in units. In addition to these particular staff-related areas, the different locations including break rooms and unit secretary workstations also emerged as locations where high levels of occupancy involving staff, patients, and visitors, was observed.Article Generating Plan Layouts: a Case Study on Visualization of Implicit Knowledge by “doctor Architects”(SAGE Publications, 2022) Kasalı, AltuğAim: This article presents an opportunistic case with particular focus on instances from an extended procurement operation in which medical professionals run a proactive process involving the generation of layouts through distinct modes of representational practices without any actual collaboration with designers. The questions of inquiry involve an analysis on how the visualizations came into being and a discussion into the content of drawings that was shaped by individuals without any formal design education. Background: Although the literature introduces examples of genuine participation, particularly in healthcare design practices, the instances in which nondesigners demonstrate accomplished skills in spatial reasoning and representation are limited. Method: The research was formulated as a qualitative case study including a series of observations of the activities of the participants followed by interviews recorded at different locations. The investigation also focuses on the features of these authentic graphics which illustrate the intentions of the medical professionals concerning the function of spaces. Results: In this research, the participants went through a labor intensive and elaborate effort to produce “architectural representations” with the intention to convey their implicit professional expertise in the domain. The layouts were introduced to be the vital elements to visualize the implicit knowledge regarding the functioning of space. Conclusions: The productive and creative engagement of clinicians within this research makes the case for a multidisciplinary approach that reframes the limits and potential contributions of participants alongside drawings, which are exclusively claimed by and strategically employed by architects as negotiation devices within participatory design processes.Master Thesis Tasarım Yayınlarında Biyomimikri: Wallpaper Dergisi'ndeki İçeriklerin Tematik Analizi(2025) Sevgi, Pelda; Şavk, Bahar Emgin; Kasalı, AltuğDoğa, tasarım için uzun zamandır güçlü bir ilham kaynağı olmuştur ve biyomimikri, insan ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için doğada var olan örüntü ve sistemlerden yararlanan ileriye dönük bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Bu tez, Wallpaper dergisinde biyomimikrinin nasıl temsil edildiğini tasarım odaklı makaleler üzerinde yapılan tematik bir analiz yoluyla incelemektedir. Çalışma materyali, 'biomimicry', 'biomimetic', 'bio-inspired' ve 'biologically inspired design' gibi anahtar kelimelerin kullanıldığı bir tarama ile seçilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda üç tekrar eden tema belirlenmiştir: ekolojik farkındalık, doğadan türetilmiş biçimler ve üretim teknikleri. Sürdürülebilirlik, makaleler boyunca sürekli olarak öne çıkan bir kaygı olarak görülmüş ve biyomimikri çevresel açıdan sorumlu çözümler için bir yol olarak konumlandırılmıştır. Ele alınan tasarımların birçoğu, doğal geometrileri yansıtan organik ve akıcı biçimler benimsemiştir. 3D baskı, CNC kesim ve robotik üretim gibi ileri dijital araçlar yaygın olarak kullanılırken, geleneksel zanaat temelli yöntemler de anlamlı bir rol oynamıştır. Bu çalışma, biyomimikri içeren örnek olayları analiz ederek doğadan ilham alan tasarım uygulamalarını geliştirmeye yönelik bilgi birikimine katkı sağlamakta ve Wallpaper dergisinin derinlemesine bir incelemesi yoluyla değerli içgörüler sunmaktadır. Genel olarak bulgular, Wallpaper dergisinin biyomimikriyi hem görsel bir dil hem de yenilikçi bir yöntem olarak sunduğunu ve bunu sürdürülebilir tasarım ve malzeme deneyselliği üzerine güncel tartışmalarla yakından ilişkilendirdiğini ortaya koymaktadır.Master Thesis A Model To Interpret Bio-Inspired Design and Its Impact on Design Curricula(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Günaydın, Cansu; Doğan, Fehmi; Kasalı, AltuğInspirations from nature is widely used in the field of design. Rising concerns about the irreversible and hazardous effects of humankind, direct the developments in the field of design and technology once again to nature. Biomimicry is a term that connotes the life and imitation of nature and this imitation can be applied also in the context of design as in many areas of life. Nowadays, design has started to use not only the simulation of the shapes of nature but also the structural and systemic features of the nature. In the field of architecture, there is a rising interest towards buildings designed by bio-inspired processes together with the seek for sustainable solutions. Architecture schools which are following the advancements in contemporary built environment and building technologies started to include bio-inspired design courses into their curriculums. Within the scope of this thesis the prominent bio-inspired architectural products are examined in order to; (1) a categorization proposal is developed to read bioinspired design approaches, (2) the impact and the place of bio-inspired design approaches in leading architectural school’s curriculum.
