Comparing Insolation on Building Facades in Five Different Climates
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Stasinopoulos, Athanasios; Stasinopoulos, Thanos N.
Purpose The objective is to provide a quantitative insight on the dynamic nature of insolation on the building perimeter according to location, season and orientation. Such understanding is necessary for deciding on solar control strategies in diverse climatic environments, from low to high availability of insolation. Design/methodology/approach This study explores the seasonal changes of solar irradiation on building facades of various orientations at five locations with diverse climates (Reykjavik, London, Athens, Riyadh, Lagos). Solar data collected from the European PVGIS database is used to study the monthly distribution of global solar radiation incident on building facades at cardinal and ordinal orientations, as well as the proportions of its components. Findings The results illuminate the effects of the various factors on insolation. Among others: In all locations, horizontal surfaces receive more annual irradiation than any facade. In summer, east/west facades receive more radiation than south, hence solar protection on those directions is more important than on south. The beam fraction varies seasonally on south and north facades, but not so on east/west. Local atmospheric conditions can offset the importance of latitude on insolation levels and composition. Originality/value The paper utilises commonly available data to correlate insolation values and types under different factors across the globe, offering a better understanding on insolation for the design of greener buildings.

Defending Truth and Democracy in the Age of Ai: a Framework for Empowering Voters Against Persuasion and Misinformation With Ai Literacy
(ASOC DESARROLLO COMUNICACION, 2024) Arda, Zeynep; Başarır, Lale
Witnessing the rising impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a post-truth envi-ronment, our senses' credibility wanes as the distinction between the real and the imagined becomes increasingly hazy. This study examines AI-generated content and deepfakes' effects on voters by analyzing their use in Turkish and American politics over the past decade. The ease and speed of creating fake news with AI necessitate constant verification, yet regulation is often lacking, heightening daily anxiety about reality. With the EU's imminent AI law, this article highlights the dangers of media advocacy (the strategic use of media to influence public opinion) and misinformation (spreading incorrect or misleading information). Through a meticulous literature review, press release analysis, and case studies, the study assesses their possible persuasive impact on voters, elections, and democracy. It identifies the associated risks and proposes a framework to empower voters using technology to reinforce truth filters, Intelligence Augmentation, and AI litera-cy. Two concepts that were developed side by side, but with different intentions, while AI aimed to create digital intelligence, Intelligence Augmentation focused instead on using technology to enhance the human capacity
Demystifying the Patterns of Local Knowledge the Implicit Relation of Local Music and Vernacular Architecture
(Ecaade-education & research computer aided architectural design europe, 2023) Başarır, Lale; Çicek, Selen; Koç, Mustafa
The development of novel design output using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is becoming an important milestone in the architectural design discourse. With the recent encounter of the computational design realm with the diffusion models, it becomes even easier to generate 2D and 3D design outputs. Yet, the utilization of machine learning tools within design computing domains is confined to generating or classifying visual and encoded data. However, it is critical to evaluate the untapped potentials of machine learning technologies in terms of illuminating the implicit correlations and links underlying distinct concepts and themes across a wide range of technical domains. With the ongoing research project named Local Intelligence, we hypothesized that the local knowledge of a certain location might be conceptualized as a distributed network to connect different forms of local knowledge. As the first case of the project, we tried to reinstate a commonality between the local music and vernacular architecture, for which we trained generative adversarial network (GAN) models with the visual spectrograms translated from the audio data of the local songs and images of vernacular architectural instances from a defined geography. The two multi-modal GAN models differ in terms of the inherent convolutional layers and data pairing process. The outcomes demonstrated that both GAN models can learn how to depict vernacular architectural features from the rhythmic pattern of the songs in various patterns. Consequently, the implicit relations between music and architecture in the initial findings come one step closer to being demystified. Thus, the process and generative outcomes of the two models are compared and discussed in terms of the legibility of the architectural features, by taking the original vernacular architectural image dataset as the ground truth.

Emerging Towers in Bayrakli: Sustainability as a Branding Strategy or a Tool for Local Development?
(Mdpi, 2015) Oner, Asli Ceylan; Pasi̇n, Burkay
Sustainability and eco-friendly towers have been among the most discussed topics of contemporary high-rise building design. High-rise buildings have been an important part of the modern economy with their concentration of human capital and branding value for the urban context. In addition, during the recent years, to address the problems of sprawl, environmental, and ecological concerns, sustainable high-rise building design has gained further significance and visibility in architecture and planning literature. In existing literature, sustainability of high-rises is defined mainly through ecological design and green architecture principles in individual building scale. However, sustainability in the case of high-rises remains an ill-defined term, as there is neglect of further long term effects of these buildings on the social, cultural, economic, and resiliency contexts of cities. When not integrated with the broader urban context, sustainability falls into the gap to be perceived as greenwash, which stands for a superficially-employed concept used as a fashionable branding strategy. Within this general framework, this study will examine the emerging towers in Bayrakli, Izmir, which is designated by the local government as a high-rise development zone. The study will focus on high-rise buildings (completed and under construction) in relation to the perception of sustainability and question whether or not sustainability is used as a greenwash branding strategy or a contextual element that is well-embedded in architectural design process and urban planning decisions. The method of research will be a descriptive case study through semi-structured interviews with the design team and real estate professionals of the buildings, as well as media analysis and consideration of the local municipality reports about Bayrakli. The results indicate that sustainability has become a principle embraced and advertised in the building scale as an environmental concern more than it is embraced in the urban and social context.
Framing Silence in Southeast Anatolia: Confined Spaces, Subdued Bodies of Women in Turkish Cinema
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Avci, Deniz; Dogu, Tuba; Cagatay, Gokce
This paper looks at the representation of women's silence as a deliberate survival strategy in Turkish cinema with a focus on a socio-politically scarred region of Southeast Anatolia in 1960-1990. Drawing from feminist scholarship, architectural theory and film studies, the research explores how cinema portrays silence as women's negotiation against patriarchal oppression. Situating women in this cinematic geography, the analysis is through two complementary views. One is the patriarchal perspective, where the camera frames spaces and bodies in ways which render women silent and immobile. From this perspective, silence may confirm male authority over space and body. However, in the second perspective, i.e. women's lived experience, the same silence is re-assessed as an active form of collective endurance and self-protection. By limited public visibility, gesture and speech, women create networks to secure themselves, evade harassment and share resources. These perspectives, analyzed with recurring cinematic motifs such as ceremonies, customs and traditions, and daily life practices, reveal how spatial and bodily silences become survival tactics against oppression and subjugation. Hence timely, this study centers silence as an agency that transforms confined spaces and subdued bodies into embodiments of survival.

Global Arts World and the Worlding of Wynwood, Miami, Florida
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Öner, Aslı Ceylan; Grant, Richard J.; Li, Han
Wynwood, Miami, is a world-renowned global art canvas of street art and cultural production site. The rise of Miami as a global arts city and its hosting of Arts Basel enhanced the place marketing of Wynwood. Wynwood's recent trajectory is driven by the confluence of art, real estate, and urban planning. Its redevelopment over time has been dramatic, transitioning from a low-income immigrant neighborhood and warehouse district into innovative artistic milieu. In the 2020s the neighborhood is being highly commodified, resulting in the loss of artistic capital replaced by trendy retail, condo, and hotel projects. Our analysis is primarily based on interviews with gallery owners in 2016 and 2022, as well as planning documents and business census data. Wynwood as an art venue has peaked, and artists and galleries are exiting. Nonetheless, Wynwood continues to be marketed as an arts neighborhood by property developers and retail and entertainment businesses

Legacy of Arts and Chrono-Urbanism in Wynwood, Miami
(Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Grant, R.J.; Li, H.; Oner, A.C.
Significant progress in the concept of chrono-urbanism has occurred since the pandemic, partly driven by the adoption of the 15-minute city model from European and Asian cities to the United States. In recent years, Miami's urban planning has shifted toward mixed-use development and densification, with neighborhoods like Wynwood embracing chrono-urbanism and arts-focused redevelopment strategies. Our study examines this transition in Wynwood, focusing on the role of the arts using a mixed-methods approach. We find that positive developments in business and real estate, particularly within 5- and 10-minute walking and biking catchment areas, contributing to a more mixed-use community. However, the closure of art galleries and the redevelopment of vacant lots and older buildings into high-rise developments are replacing the organic street art that initially attracted artists and visitors. This shift has led to more commercialized, commissioned art pieces that meet building codes but lack the unique character of the original works. During interviews, gallery representatives expressed concern that Wynwood is evolving from an arts district into a high-priced area known more for its murals than its creative community. Although chrono-urbanism is being adopted in many cities, differences in economic, cultural, political, and geographic contexts necessitate those approaches be tailored to each urban environment. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd

Local Intelligence: Time To Learn From Ai
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Başarır, Lale; Çiçek, S.; Koç, M.
AI research in architecture is flourishing, and there are plausible and praiseworthy experiments using generative models. These experiments could result in intelligence that uses architectural knowledge and opens new learning opportunities, although guidance is still required in this area. With the Local Intelligence (LI) framework, we hypothesize a web of distributed networks to connect different forms of knowledge linked with architectural context. We assume that the tacit knowledge of vernacular architecture corresponds to the implicit knowledge of folklore music when the anonymous designer and the user are the same- the local people. With a multimodal AI model, we call ‘music2architecture’ – ‘architecture2music’, we argue that sharing the same locality/localness may lead to the emergence of a typical, previously hidden pattern (of wisdom) that we can learn from. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Modelling AI in Architectural Education
(Gazi Univ, 2022) Başarır, Lale
This work displays an outlook on major questions concerning the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Architectural education. Gradually, part of the domain knowledge and hard skills become either irrelevant or insufficient by the time the students graduate. This paper suggests that integrating AI in the architectural design curriculum is beneficial for raising designers’ awareness of all areas of architectural design, in the form of input, process, and output. The study views consecutive learning experiences in a continuum and explores the potentials of integrating AI applications and techniques in architectural education, and how architectural design practice may benefit from it. Consequently, it provides insights into how architectural design education may transform itself considering the future impact of AI on the Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) industry.
A Novel Adaptive Façade Using Cable-Driven Compliant Mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2025) Neseliler, Pinar; Klamt, Marius; Akgun, Yenal; Blandini, Lucio
Adaptive fa & ccedil;ade systems have the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions while enhancing, among others, the thermal and lighting comfort of building occupants. However, most existing adaptive fa & ccedil;ades rely on rigid body mechanisms, which introduce mechanical complexity and increase maintenance costs. To address these challenges, bio-inspired compliant mechanisms, which use flexible elements capable of elastic deformation, offer a promising solution by eliminating the need for conventional hinges. However, studies in the literature show that while such systems often succeed in reducing the number of hinges, they do not typically achieve a reduction in the number of actuators. This study addresses the gap by combining cable networks with compliant mechanisms to minimize the number of actuators while proposing a holistic approach that integrates kinematic design, material selection, pattern development, structural analysis, and daylight performance evaluation. The study uses computer simulations to evaluate the system's kinematic characteristics, material properties, structural integrity, and daylight performance. The study explores fa & ccedil;ade patterns, cable networks, and actuation systems, alongside structural and environmental analyses, to develop an efficient and innovative adaptive fa & ccedil;ade system that simplifies mechanical design and enhances visual comfort.

Place Management of a Creative City: the Case of Izmir
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2017) Mengi, Onur; Durmaz, Sıdıka Bahar; Oner, Asli Ceylan; Velibeyoglu, Koray
This study investigates how place management is used to render a creative city through the combination of soft factors as intangible characteristics and hard factors as tangible characteristics of the built environment. The study focuses on Izmir, Turkey; exploring its potential as an emerging creative city. The methodology is a descriptive analysis of recent urban design and planning activities of creative cities, reviews projects and strategies in Izmir. Findings provide a framework for place management tools and their strategic use for integration of art, design, creativity and knowledge in creative cities. Place management is used as a tool for image building and identity enhancement, and for quality of place to attract creative and knowledge workers. In the case of Izmir, hard factors triggered the formation process whereas soft factors have taken strengthen the initiative. However, both of them are yet not strong enough to creative public awareness and critical mass.

Precarity of Refugees: the Case of Basmane-Izmir, Turkey
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Oner, Asli Ceylan; Durmaz-Drinkwater, Bahar; Grant, Richard J.
Over the last decade, the precarity of refugees and temporary migrants and its associated ambiguities is an increasing focus of scholarly inquiry and policy debate. In particular, the Syrian conflict since 2011 has led to dramatic refugee crises especially in terms of the number of people displaced into neighbouring countries, including Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, with Turkey hosting the largest refugee population in the world. Within Turkey, Syrian refugees are concentrated in camps, border towns, major cities and particular urban neighbourhoods. The Basmane neighbourhood, an old inner city quarter of Izmir, Turkey, is a special case, and we directly observe and detail various dimensions of the precarity of Syrian immigrants there at the apex of the refugee flow, and assess how temporary migration affected Izmir's permanent residents. Focusing on physical and social transformations in Basmane, we concentrate on the intra-relationships among place, refugees, and locals and seek to contribute to the debate of how (un)settled situations of refugees produce differential pathways for adaptation and experiences of precarity. The research indicates that socio-spatial dynamics in Basmane contributes to the adaptation of refugees and affects their precarity as the hub for temporary immigrants in Izmir.

Proposal for a Kinetic Façade System Based on Curved Line Folding Technique
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Neseliler, Pinar; Akgun, Yenal; Kavuncuoglu, Canberk
The use of kinetic building envelopes creates an important potential for reducing carbon emissions and electricity consumption. However, a number of existing kinetic fa & ccedil;ades are made up of rigid body mechanisms, which require multiple actuators to move. This limits their feasibility in the construction industry due to the large number of required actuators. To address this issue, the curved line folding (CLF) technique offers an alternative design method that relies on compliant mechanisms rather than rigid body hinges. By using flexible elements to allow for elastic deformation, CLF reduces the complexity and number of actuators required to initiate movement. On the other hand, cable-driven systems have not been explored to actuate the CLF mechanisms. This paper aims to investigate an innovative fa & ccedil;ade model that reduces the number of actuators and complexity while initiating the movement of the systems based on the CLF technique and cable bending system. In this paper, firstly, the existing literature is examined. Then, the proposed kinetic fa & ccedil;ade system, its geometric properties, and actuation is introduced. Finally, a daylight simulation of the proposed system is run in Rhinoceros with the use of ClimateStudio.

A Survey of Solar Envelope Properties Using Solid Modelling
(College Publishing, 2018) Stasinopoulos, Thanos N.
Solar envelope is a concept for regulating solar access in urban planning. It is a roof-like imaginary surface over a given piece of land that controls the maximum allowed building height in order to avoid casting shadows on the neighbours during a specific period. The volume of solar envelopes regulates building density, depending on geometric attributes and time (plot size and proportions, orientation, ground slope, latitude, duration of insolation). This work compares the effect of such factors on the size of solar envelopes on a variety of land parcels, individually or in groups. Repeated applications of solid modelling are used to calculate in each case the values of 'Solar Volume Coefficient', i.e. the volume of a solar envelope per unit of its base as a measure for comparisons. Results show the influence of the various factors affecting the geometry of solar envelopes. Among other findings, it is also shown that solar envelopes generate urban densities lower than conventional urban regulations. The total volume of solar envelopes over an area ('Solar Building Potential') can be increased by raising the reference level of solar envelopes ('shadow fence' or 'solar fence'). Lower urban densities are compensated by facilitating solar applications, as well as by enhancing daylight, ventilation, and vistas in the urban context, thus creating new 'solar cityscapes' exemplified here on existing street patterns.
Towards a Sensorial Approach to Inclusive Urban Policy Making: Narrated Walks in Izmir's Cittaslow Neighborhood Program
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Gökçe Sanul; Doğu, Tuba; Sanul, Gokce; Dogu, Tuba
With the rise of the information society and rapid advancements in technology, policy makers increasingly adopt data-driven approaches to understand and respond to complex urban challenges. In this context, the use walking for quantitative measures have become prominent, often guiding the agenda of local governments through metrics for urban policy making. However, this paper argues that sensory experiences captured through qualitative walking methods offer a valuable source of data for urban policy making. Incorporating sensory data presents an inclusive understanding of both physical and socio-cultural dynamics of urban space. Drawing on the methodology and findings of the walking method used in the Cittaslow Metropolis research project based in Izmir, Turkey, the paper demonstrates how spatially evoked sensorial experiences can inform and enrich inclusive urban policy development. The paper introduces a novel 'sensorial approach to urban policy making', locating sensorial experiences as a central analytical category that emphasize the integration of embodied, place-based knowledge. While critiquing the overreliance on standard quantitative methods, this paper also articulates the need for further interdisciplinary research combining qualitative and quantitative techniques of sensorial analysis, thereby supporting more inclusive urban policy making.
