Perceptions of process quality in building projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999-03)A Delphi process and a questionnaire survey are conducted to investigate the differences in the perceptions of entry-level professionals and long-time practitioners with regard to process quality in building projects. The ... -
A neural network approach for early cost estimation of structural systems of buildings
(Elsevier, 2004-10)The importance of decision making in cost estimation for building design processes points to a need for an estimation tool for both designers and project managers. This paper investigates the utility of neural network ... -
Determining attribute weights in a CBR model for early cost prediction of structural systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This paper compares the performance of three optimization techniques, namely feature counting, gradient descent, and genetic algorithms (GA) in generating attribute weights that were used in a spreadsheet-based case based ... -
Turkish women architects in the late Ottoman and Early Republican era, 1908-1950
(Routledge, 2007)This article examines the public status and educational background of Turkish women architects from 1908 to 1950. Writings on the history of architecture in Turkey, as in the West, have focused on heroic male figures. Key ... -
Using decision trees for determining attribute weights in a case-based model of early cost prediction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper compares the performance of three different decision-tree-based methods of assigning attribute weights to be used in a case-based reasoning (CBR) prediction model. The generation of the attribute weights is ... -
Postwar visions of apocalypse and architectural culture: The Architectural Review's turn to ecology
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)In the post-war era, Hubert de Cronin Hastings, the owner and editor (until 1971) of the English periodical The Architectural Review (AR), saw mankind facing its demise through its own scientific creation, the atom bomb. ... -
News from the field: Visual planning and urbanism in the mid-twentieth century conference, Newcastle, UK, 11-13 September 2007
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-07)While the understanding of planning or urban design through their visual aspects alone would be reductive, attitudes to planning that focus on visual and three-dimensional modes remain understudied. To fill this gap, a ... -
Impacts of transportation projects on urban trends in İzmir
(Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, 2008-12)The effects of major transportation projects on urban trends in Izmir were analyzed using the Delphi method. Once convergence was maintained in expert opinions, the Delphi results were re-evaluated according to the suggested ... -
Thomas Sharp's collaboration with H. de C. Hastings: The formulation of townscape as urban design pedagogy
(Routledge, 2009)This paper focuses on the collaboration between the Architectural Review's (AR) chief editor and proprietor Hubert de Cronin Hastings (1902-1986) and planner Thomas Sharp (1901-1978) in the formulation and dissemination ... -
Problematization of assessment in the architectural design education: First year as a case study
(Elsevier, 2009)This paper discusses the ways in which studio instructors assess students' design and performance during the basic design studios. Architecture requires a discipline-based education in which design studios have primary ... -
Reading into the mysteries of Artemis Ephesia
(Routledge, 2009)On 18 September 1956, Franz Miltner, head of the Austrian team of archaeologists working at the ancient site of Ephesos, near modern Selçuk in the Izmir province of Turkey, was informed by an enthusiastic Turkish excavation ... -
The impact of planimetric configuration on structurally damaged residential buildings
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-03)This study was conducted to determine a significant relationship between planimetric configuration and vulnerability of hazardous buildings located in seismic zones by developing design and construction efficiency indicators. ... -
Artificial neural networks to predict daylight illuminance in office buildings
(Elsevier, 2009-08)A prediction model was developed to determine daylight illuminance for the office buildings by using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Illuminance data were collected for 3 months by applying a field measuring method. ... -
Modernli̇k söylemi̇: Endi̇şeli̇ bakışlarda modern bi̇rey
(Middle East Technical University, 2010)19. yüzyılın son çeyreğinden günümüze, modernlik ve modern hayatın eleştirileri pek çok farklı disiplin üzerinden klasik teorik yazılar, imgeler, kültürel nesneler, mimari pratikler, bilimsel ve bilimsel olmayan makaleler ... -
A critical evaluation of mathematics courses in architectural education and practice
(Springer, 2010-02)Mathematics courses are integral part of architectural education. The content and objectives of these courses were determined in the Age of Enlightenment. Although conditions have changed since then, they still exist without ... -
Generic abstraction in design creativity: the case of Staatsgalerie by James Stirling
(Elsevier, 2010-05)This study examines the role of generic abstraction in architectural design, specifically how it facilitates exploration through formulation of a family of design schemes. We maintain that exploration in design, as it is ... -
A novel concept of convertible roofs with high transformability consisting of planar scissor-hinge structures
(Elsevier, 2010-09)In this paper, a new adaptive scissor-hinge structure is introduced, which can be converted by means of actuators between a multitude of curvilinear arch-like shapes, where it can be stabilized and carry loads. The key ... -
Conceptualization by visual and verbal representations: An experience in an architectural design studio
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-11)In current educational practices within the discipline of architecture, the systematic use of conceptualization within the design process has not yet been extensively developed and applied. Though utilizing concepts within ... -
Research into practice: Malatya solar housing
(Emerald Group Publishing, 2010-11)Purpose: The purpose of this research is to discover the underlying reasons for the failure of solar energy architecture in Turkey in order to be able suggest methods of improving it in Turkey and worldwide. Design/metho ... -
