Activating Co-Creation Methodologies of 3d Printing With Biocomposites Developed From Local Organic Wastes
(Ecaade-education & research computer aided architectural design europe, 2022) Afsar, Seçil; Estevez, Alberto T.; Abdallah, Yomna K.; Turhan, Gözde Damla; Özel, Berfin; Doyuran, Aslıhan
Compared to the take-make-waste-oriented linear economy model, the circular model has been studied since the 1980s. Due to consumption-oriented lifestyles along with having a tendency of considering waste materials as trash, studies on sustainable materials management (SMM) have remained at a theoretical level or created temporary and limited impacts. To ensure SMM supports The European Green Deal, there is a necessity of developing top-down and bottom-up strategies simultaneously, which can be metaphorized as digging a tunnel from two different directions to meet in the middle of a mountain. In parallel with the New European Bauhaus concept, this research aims to create a case study for boosting bottom-up and data-driven methodologies to produce short-loop products made of bio-based biocomposite materials from local food & organic wastes. The Architecture departments of two universities from different countries collaborated to practice these design democratization methodologies using data transfer paths. The 3D printable models, firmware code, and detailed explanation of working with a customized 3D printer paste extruder were shared using online tools. Accordingly, the bio-based biocomposite recipe from eggshell, xanthan gum, and citric acid, which can be provided from local shops, food & organic wastes, was investigated concurrently to enhance its printability feature for generating interior design elements such as a vase or vertical gardening unit. While sharing each step from open-source platforms with adding snapshots and videos allows further development between two universities, it also makes room for other researchers/makers/designers to replicate the process/product. By combining modern manufacturing and traditional crafting methods with materials produced with DIY techniques from local resources, and using global data transfer platforms to transfer data instead of products themselves, this research seeks to unlock the value of co-creative design practices for SMM.
Affective Computing for Game User Research
(Ecaade-education & research computer aided architectural design europe, 2023) Varınlıoğlu, Güzden; Tu, Han; Nagakura, Takehiko
This study examines the spatial and emotional experience facilitated by immersive gaming environments and detected by wearable technologies. We designed, implemented, and tested a serious board game involving simulating the urban networks of the trade routes of the past. We recorded the traces of the players' collective movements using a ceiling-mounted video camera to record the positions of the markers, and a video camera facing the players to record the players' behaviors. Wearable devices enabled the recording of players' emotions during their decision-making process. We captured their emotions with three tools: a GSR to capture participants' emotional state and arousal level, an EEG to record the changes in their brain activity; and a think-aloud protocol to understand their conscious decisions. Finally, we analyzed the gamers' measured feelings and compared these with the expressed feelings. The longer-term goal is to explore architectural design with special attention to feelings experienced within it by means of affective computing methods such as wearable technologies and biosensors, as well as gamification.
After Istanbul Hilton: Turkey's Local-Global Dichotomy in the 1950s Interiors of Divan Hotel and Cinar Hotel
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Atmaca, Hande; Uz, Funda; Tuna Ultav, Zeynep
This study analyzes the socio-spatial qualities of hotel interiors built in Turkey after the opening of the Istanbul Hilton Hotel in 1955. It aims to reveal the construction of the modern interior in Turkey and its effects on social life at the Divan Hotel (1956) and Cinar Hotel (1958), which were Turkey's first modern hotels built with local capital and local architects. As Turkey's first modern hotel, Istanbul Hilton was regarded as a model for subsequent tourism buildings. Cinar and Divan Hotels hotels were usually compared with the Hilton's aesthetics, and seen as reminiscent of the Hilton, particularly the outer shell and building formation. However, their interiors have been completely overlooked. This is an important omission, because, contrary to its modernist outer shell, the Istanbul Hilton Hotel interiors were designed with a contrasting orientalist approach. This study therefore investigates how this dichotomy influenced the interiors of the Divan Cinar Hotels. Drawing on the theory of transculturation by Ortiz, this study challenges the view that these hotels were mere host sites, embodying and copying modern architecture without any filtering. A complete interior atmosphere was analyzed in terms of the hotels' materiality, such as furniture and art objects, but moreover, the social meaning of the space and transformation of social habits are examined to discuss local-global dichotomies. Information for the analysis was gathered through a literature review, observations, and an analysis of images obtained from personal archives and databases. This data was supported with oral interviews with architects, interior designers, craftsmen, tourism professionals, and contemporary witnesses. The findings show that the Divan Hotel and Cinar Hotel were both spatially and socially influenced by the Istanbul Hilton Hotel. However, they also sought a modernity of their own by carefully selecting and blending western influences, both spatially and socially. Most importantly, since the Divan Cinar Hotels refrained from the image difference between the modern and connotations of the orient, these spaces can be read as interpretations of an internalized modernity.

An Analysis of Physical and Psychological Expectations of Earthquake Victims From Temporary Shelters: a Design Proposal
(Middle East Technical Univ, 2012) Yuksel, Belma; Hasirci, Deniz
This study analyzes physical and psychological expectations of earthquake victims from temporary shelters and presents a design proposal. Interviews were conducted with earthquake victims in the city of Kocaeli in Turkey, and needs were identified. Also, user survey results from previous studies that have been conducted after the August 17th earthquake in 1999 were used to establish the design requirements for a temporary housing unit. While lack of space and issues of crowding, noise, and hygiene were mentioned as the most important problems in temporary earthquake shelters, suggestions to improve them included consideration of psychology and privacy needs of victims. The need for a home and not just a shelter has been identified and design guidelines have been examined.

Analysis of Pss Design Development Models in Turkey
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2019) Cakiroglu, Melisa; Gulden, Selin
The article aim is observing and framing I-am associates' process model as an example of in the context of Turkey while comparing it with the existing models. Product Service System (PSS) design is a new field in Turkey and best example to observe PSS development in there is I-am Associates because it is a local company, created and developed in here and when we looked their existing work so far. Because of this article specifically focused on PSS design development models, first ones that come up in the literature should have been analysed. For better understanding how companies developed their ideas, work, as a flexible method semi-structured interview has been made with the selected company. Questions was generalised for not to frame their answers. Two founder of the company briefly explained how their process works and in which phases they are going deeper. The research identified that the PSS design process reported by literature is not representative, lacking on some sub-phases. Seven models had been analysed and seven common phases identified with 18 total sub-phases for creating a process model for the selected company. Those findings helped to frame basic steps in the process.

Analyzing the Quality of Place: Creative Clusters in Soho and Beyoglu
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Durmaz, Sıdıka Bahar
This paper analyzes the spatial characteristics of some parts of cities where the creative types (i.e. companies and people) involved in creative production are densely located. It aims to identify those socio-spatial factors that attract and retain creatives. In particular, it focuses on the film industry-based inner-city creative clusters, i.e. Soho in London and Beyoglu in Istanbul. This exploratory, cross-national, multiple case study applies the qualitative research techniques of interviews, observations, cognitive and cluster mapping. The paper concludes with the Analysis Framework for the Quality of Place which reveals the integrity of physical, socio-cultural, perceptual and visual characteristics of place. In particular, it discusses the key performance criteria and the scale of place which provides an inspiring and productive environment such as walkability, spatial proximity, and the public realm.

Architecture and Engineering Students' Evaluations of House Facades: Preference, Complexity and Impressiveness
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Akalin, Aysu; Yildirim, Kemal; Wilson, Christopher; Kilicoglu, Onder
In this study, five different sets of single-family house facades from private Suburban cooperative housing developments in Ankara, Turkey,, were analyzed; with each set comprising one example each of minimum and maximum complexity. Although the houses in each set had the same appearance when they were first built, their facades have since been altered by their owners. The main hypothesis of the study was that preference rates would be high for intermediately altered houses by showing the existence of a U-shaped relationship. On the other hand, it was hypothesized that perceived complexity and perceived impressiveness would have a linear relationship, with perceived complexity increasing and perceived impressiveness decreasing as the complexity level changed. In terms of these two basic hypotheses, it Was also assumed that there would lie a difference in the ratings of particular respondent groups with different backgrounds. Thus, a questionnaire was given to 100 undergraduate Students of the Architecture and Engineering Departments of Gazi University, Ankara (41 from architecture and 59 from engineering). These students were asked to rate a total of 15 photographs from five housing sites with the help of five-point semantic differential scales under three headings; namely; Preference: beautiful - ugly, warm - cold, pleasant - unpleasant: Complexity: unimposing - imposing, simple complex: and Impressiveness: impressive - Unimpressive. The results proved the existence of a U-shaped relationship between complexity and preference criteria. That is, facades representing an intermediate level of complexity were favored over less and more complex ones. The facades that seemed the most impressive were the most complex ones, but these, however, were not the most preferred. Amongst these results. it was also noted that the architecture Students replied fit a more critical way than the engineering students as they criticized what they saw as negative design decisions.

Avoiding Change Orders in Public School Construction
(Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2007) Guenhan, Suat; Arditi, David; Doyle, Jacqueline
Increased student enrollment and the current poor state of the educational infrastructure require the construction of more school buildings and the renovation of many of the existing ones. The large number and magnitude of change orders in these projects constitute an impediment to the rapid and economic delivery of these projects. A total of 6,585 change orders filed in a school district's projects in the 5 1/2 year period from 1999 to 2004 were analyzed in five categories including owner-directed changes, code compliance issues, errors/omissions in contract documents, discovered or changed conditions, and others. The results of the study indicate that the dollar value of change orders relative to the original contract can be reduced if preventive measures are taken. These measures include choosing the right construction management firm, emphasizing the definition of project scope early in the project, and effectively managing the precontract activities by conducting value engineering and constructability reviews. The results indicate that school projects can be completed with change orders not exceeding 5% of the contract value if these measures are taken. This study is of relevance to practitioners involved in school design and construction projects.

Becoming One With the Neighborhood: Collaborative Art, Space-Making, and Urban Change in Izmir Daragac
(Sage Publications Inc, 2024) Kilinc, Kivanc; Pasin, Burkay; Varinlioglu, Guzden
Daragac is a former industrial, lower-income neighborhood in Turkey's third-largest city, Izmir. In 2015 several artists settled in the area and started a nonprofit initiative called the Daragac Collective (DC). DC has since organized numerous art events and exhibitions, receiving considerable interest and publicity. Yet, to date, the changes in Daragac's material landscapes have been subtle, and the area remains ungentrified, unlike similar examples in Turkey. This article argues that the collaborative art practice spearheaded by DC played a major role in the preservation of the neighborhood's urban texture. The artists became neighbors with the residents, benefited from the expertise of mechanics, and drew inspiration from the site, while the local community has contributed to the production, exhibition, and appreciation of artworks. Thus, art has become a tool for sociability and a catalyst for interpersonal, cultural, and cross-class exchanges, which could offer an alternative route to art-led urban change in Turkey.

Better Quality Built Environments: Design Review Panels as Applied in Cambridge, England
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Durmaz-Drinkwater, Bahar; Platt, Stephen
This paper describes how design review panels operate in England, focusing on three panels operating in Cambridge. It considers two questions: whether design review panels contribute to improving the quality of the built environment, and whether they are an important element of the design process. The analysis focuses on the quality and process of urban design, based on face-to-face qualitative interviews with planners, developers and panel members. In conclusion, despite the several shortcomings, the paper argues that the panels contribute to better dialogue between the different actors of the process, and hence can improve the quality of built environments.

Biophilic Interior Design: a Case Study on the Relation Between Water Elements and Well-Being of the Users in an Educational Building
(Anadolu Univ, 2021) Nevzati, Fiona; Demirbas, O. Osman; Hasirci, Deniz
The concept of biophilia is an innate human tendency to seek connection with nature. Biophilic design is the integration of the built environment and nature, which offers an opportunity to design healthier places, resulting in lower stress and improved well-being. Water elements are considered one of the most effective biophilic design elements for the betterment of the interiors through decreased stress and improved mood. This paper examines the relationships between well-being and principles of biophilic design through indoor water elements, with specific focus on educational environments. A case study was conducted examining the effects of various indoor water elements for an entrance area of an educational building. It was found that occupants were generally content with the presence of interior water elements, and they perceived that direct access to nature made them feel more connected with it. There is a statistically significant difference between the responses of males and females, t = -2.041, p = 0.045 (p<0.05), while females perceived lowered stress when in the presence of interior water elements, males were more neutral. The research study concludes with a discussion on the means by which interior water elements can reduce stress and increase relaxation.

The Blue Funk in the Fish-Tank: a Study on the French Banlieue Riots
(Univ L Aquila, 2022) Yavuz Velipasaoglu, Didem
The problems of French suburbs came to the fore in the early 1980s, particularly during what was known as Hot Summer of 1981. This study investigates the social polarization between the poor and the affluent caused spatial segregation in the banlieus of France. Situated about fifteen kilometers east of Paris in the area of Seine Saint-Denis, the housing projects, or habitation a loyer modere (HLM) as they are known in France, of Clichy-sous-Bois and Montfermeil were constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s mostly in peripheral areas. HLM were considered as an answer for the increasing housing needs after the Second World War, particularly for low-income families, although large numbers of middle- class families lived there in the early post-war period. And in their early years, they improved the living conditions of many families. Today the neighborhoods are mostly inhabited by multicultural minority groups, a mix of low-income, immigrant, North African, and Muslim groups. The multicultural banlieues are isolated and suffer poor infrastructure and poor transportation links to the urban center and neighboring towns. This study focuses on the causes of violence and crime and the relationship of power and powerlessness in an urban context. Gentrification enters in to the picture in the recent years for the banlieues' cases as globalization has pushed renewal projects into city peripheries and old city centers across the world.

Budgeting owner's construction contingency
(Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2007) Gunhan, Suat; Arditi, David
This paper attempts to find ways to reduce an owner's construction contingency budget such that just enough contingency is allocated that will allow the owner to deal with uncertainties but at the same time not tie up valuable funds that can be used for other activities. It is suggested that the common practice of allocating a fixed owner contingency (e.g., 10% of the contract value) to all projects contracted out by an owner is not appropriate. Instead, a methodology is proposed whereby the owner (1) analyzes historical project data; (2) identifies the line items that are problematic; (3) takes the necessary measures at the preconstruction stage to streamline these line items with respect to site conditions, time constraints, constructability issues, and project scope; and (4) finally budgets contingency funds based on this information. A case study was conducted to analyze the contingencies budgeted and actually spent by an owner in nine parking lot projects. The findings indicated that a systematic approach such as the methodology proposed in this paper is likely to minimize the owner's contingency budget.

Children With Autism Providing a Knowledge Base for Educational and Therapeutic Product Design
(Iated-Int Assoc Technology Education & Development, 2016) Merter, Sevi; Hasirci, Deniz
Besides everyday objects and environments, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) engage with a wide range of educational and therapeutic tools, equipment, and environments that aim to improve their social interaction, communication, and motor skills, sensory systems, and enhance cognitive abilities, self-maintenance, and independence. Such products and environments play a significant role in ASD-specific schools and special education centers. In Turkey, public schools apply the curriculum that is approved by the Ministry of National Education, whereas private special education centers apply more specific ASD intervention and educational methods accepted worldwide. These schools and special education centers are equipped with products that vary depending on whether the school or center is a public or a private one, since they apply different curricula. However, these products used in integration with various methods do not always fully suit the needs of these children. In that sense, participatory product design has much to offer to children with ASD in terms of increasing their overall wellbeing and quality of life. Participatory design, as a design method giving participants the right to have a say both in the design process and the final product, enables the involvement of these children and others also affected by the disorder, such as parents and special educators, in shaping their surroundings. In this study, examining a public and a private special education center in Izmir, Turkey, the physical environments provided to children with ASD as well as the possibilities of participation of the children and their caregivers in these centers in the design of educational and therapeutic products, are discussed with examples, in terms of children's attachment to the products in these environments and their contribution to children's quality of life in return, through observations and interviews. The findings showed that the participatory design processes conducted with children with ASD, their parents, and caregivers, were helpful in collecting significant information that is not readily available elsewhere, and that can be a base for new educational and therapeutic product design for children with ASD.
Children's Gender and Use of Space at Home
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2020) Gecer, Filiz Mina; Goren, Yaren; Hasirci, Deniz
Previous studies show that the formation of children's gender roles are primarily affected by their family, the home environment, friends and their choice of toys. The most vital and primary factor with regards to gender is their domestic life within the home environment. This study discusses possible issues connected to gender-based play and toys, and relations with children's space use at home. Research shows that gender-neutral children's spaces may assist in providing children spaces that enhance freedom and creativity. Thus, this study was conducted with Turkish children between the age of 7-13 focusing on children's play and lives at home. The study analysed the relationship between space use and gender identity of children and examined on how it affected children's behaviour. In addition, the study concentrated on how parents affect their children's choices while the children selected and define a specific space like a room or corner in their homes. The study progressed with three instruments, which are; schematic plan/ diagram, photography, and one-to-one interviews with both children and parents. The whole process was recorded on video with the consent of the parents. According to the results, children were found to be more willing to play and spend their times in their living rooms. While girls were more interested to represent themselves in social spaces, boys were more reserved than girls. The children generally preferred to spend time close to family members. Therefore, if there is an intention of creating gender neutral spaces for children, parents should consider such issues such as, decreasing the gender-typed colours, and objects, providing flexibility regarding the transparency of the space increasing the interaction between parents and children, and giving children the option of being both inside of the space and also outside of the space. This study was completed with the aim of reducing gender differences of children's spaces and creating guidelines for interior designers and parents in this regard. This is believed to have significant value in designing independent spaces with interior design principles for children who wish to identify a space that is truly their own in the home environment.
Children's Stereotypical Gendered Behaviours in Outdoor Educational Play Environments
(Iated-Int Assoc Technology Education & Development, 2020) Isci, Beril; Hasirci, Deniz
The aim of this study is to understand how gender-typed and gender-neutral play environments affect children's behaviour. Thus, individual and group play attitudes are investigated in relation to playground design. Preschool children spend their most of the time with free time activities. The learning process gains importance in those activities according to their preferences in choosing play, peer and environment. In early childhood ages, they learn their stereotypical gender behaviour in related to their cultural and parental background, which affects their attitudes in their social interaction. Between 5 and 8 years, children learn their gender identity, developing confidence and ability according to gender. Within this context, the study aims to analyse if the design of outdoor playground environments can reduce gender discrimination by learning children's preferences in gender-neutral and gender-typed environments according to playground equipment. In order to start thinking about reducing gender segregation in early childhood ages, this study aims to understand how playground design affects types of games. Learning children's preferences and attitudes with behavioural mapping and observational checklist for determined individual and group play behaviours may help to for designing gender-neutral playgrounds. Research results may have implications for the design of gender-neutral playgrounds that provide various opportunities for group play for the early childhood period and help reduce gender discrimination by creating awareness on stereotypical gender norms.
