Effects of Media (urban) Screen on Built Environment in Public Space
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Chegini, Yasamin; Dağlı, Uğur Ulaş
Urban screens ask for urban language in new way of designing public space. Media screen is not only a technological challenge, but they change our perception and experience of our daily used architectural environment. The focus of study is on changing citizens' perception of architecture and public space in a digital age by using media screens in the city. The view of local environment was changing with this kind of elements. Urban screens could play an important role in the perception of locality and neighborhoods. By connecting an urban screen to web (internet), the culture of local people might change in to wider view. These kinds of elements can be utilized with cultural content and create the local identity in this global age. However, nowadays urban screens, mostly use in a context of commercial information and a kind of communication medium. Digital technology bring us many aspects in our life , for example in public space we can see plasma screens exposed in shop, LED screen in squares , information display in billboard about transportation , large scale urban screen for advertisement and media fayade on buildings. This kind of exposing information to pedestrian could do with many tools; one of them is used urban screen in public space. This subject studied, based on the case study (Kyrenia, North Cyprus and Istanbul, Turkey) and support with theoretical approach and the projects about the examining this type of screening in public space that did these before in New York and Tokyo. During the recent years, media have applied more and more from private and semi public spaces into public city space. This study examines the relevance of urban screens and public space. The wider context including related aspects of users' perception in a public space, and interrogated about media content and effects of these content to citizens mind, relation between advertisement and local culture in public space. Urban screens already cornbined aspects of lighting and graphics in the built environment, in this study the questions given in the questionnaires are focused on citizens and specific characters' of the locations. These locations have small media surfaces compared to previous media screens and media fayades, which are studied in Times Square and Tokyo. The groundwork on Times Square is mainly discussing the dialogue between geometrical structures and image, information and ornament and their affects on the changing of the function of the architectural surface.
A Predictive Approach To Intelligent Building Systems Control
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Mahdavi, Ardeshir
This keynote presents the implementation of a novel predictive approach to intelligent building systems control. The implementation specifically pertains to the utilization of passive cooling in buildings. Thereby, numeric simulation is deployed as an integral part of the control logic to predict future implications of alternative control options (alternative positions of windows, shades, etc.) and identify the best performing control option. A genetic algorithm was developed to generate a manageable set of alternative options from the corpus of all possible control actions at any given time. Five rooms in two office buildings in Austria were used to test this method. The paper describes the approach and implementation in detail and presents the results.
Fabricating a Living System- Uploading the Design Process Into Materiality Performance
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Oliveira, Maria Joao De; Paio, Alexandra; Rato, Vasco Moreira
This paper presents a key area under investigation in Vitruvius FabLab at ISCTE IUL, Lisbon. A new and unexplored convergence between material and computation is rising up. The increasing capacity of architects to integrate more multidisciplinary and complex design information combined with technological developments and industrial logics are leading the Vitruvius FabLab researchers into a context of computer-controlled manufacturing and fabrication. Our pilot experience was held by an interdisciplinary Lisbon Workshop "Discursive Wall - a Living System" held at the Vitruvius FabLab-IUL, in March 7th-l l th (LS_0l ) and March 29th-April 1st (LS_02), 2012. The main challenge presented in this workshop was how the combination of traditional and national materials like cork and Valchromat (color MDF derived) with mechanical devices could be able to built a 'Discursive Wall' that physically responds to movement, interacting spatially and temporally with the environment and its inhabitants. Understanding, studying and knowing the material natural properties, performance, limits and strengths, was the key to determine and conceive the design, performance and assembly processes of the super 3x5m wall panel. In other words, form follows performance that follows material. More than expecting to find architectural surfaces solutions, this experience enables us to explore materials SWOT's leadings us into new behavioral forms and performance according to different surroundings and inhabitants.
Historic Railway Stations, Documentation and Revitalization of the Railway Infrastructure Facilities - Protection of Cultural and Social Heritage
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Podwojewska, Magdalena
The article presents problems of documentation and adaptation of buildings which constitute the cultural heritage of the railway infrastructure facilities in Pomerania in Poland. Shows the potential and possibility to be adopted for various purposes. This problem affects many sites and buildings, railway stations, railway warehouses, residential buildings, technical buildings, water towers, trackman shelters, bridges, viaducts, culverts, and the track. Technological innovation has been a huge turn which transformed the system of management of railway facilities. While many positive changes occured, many valuable from the point of view of historical, architectural, social and sentimental objects no longer serve their original function. They fall into disrepair or are managed in a haphazard manner. Difficulties with their revitalization are associated with many factors. The main problems are connected witch the of ownership and location of the function socially justified. In small towns there is no need to locate the service facilities of such a large area, or this function already exists far from the train station. The problem underlies in the lack of detailed database on existing resources, their potential for tracking, communication, technical state of buildings, architectural and historical values. A chance for the complex of railway infrastructure is to create a database in order to plan investment, both the scale of entire historical railway lines, and within individual objects. In Pomerania rail system has changed several times. It happened immediately after World War II, and at the end of twentieth century. The closure of many lines resulted in elimination of useful connections not just withering away of the communication system, but above all, loss of function performed originally by the objects of railway buildings. The result was the most serious loss of life centers and decrease their rank. The initiative of creating a database, then the model transformation and social activities in the field gives you a complete, planned activities in the field of railway infrastructure. At the same time it can have an impact on facilitate initiatives and decisions to local communities based on full documentation of resources. Eons ago, life of the community, was focused on the market. However, due to the development of technology, means of transport, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century railway station has become for almost one and a half century, an inıportant site of social life. Adopting a program of revitalization of the railway infrastructure facilities requires the assembly and development of information resources that will be a source of inspiration for local authorities, individual investors and residents. Primary task is to restore a functioning system of railways serving the residents, but equally important is the action of the railway infrastructure in the system of hiking trails, sightseeing, historical, which stinıulate the activity of the local community. All these actions should be taken quickly, otherwise there will be no objects to document and revitalize.

Support of Energy Retrofit Decisions at Multiple Scales
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Augenbroe, Godfried
This overview paper chronicles two recent projects conducted by the research group of the author dealing with retrofit decision-making at different levels of aggregation. Inspection of the projects reveals the contrast in resolution and scope of decision making that is typical of different retrofit contexts. At the aggregate level the benchmarking across a portfolio of buildings is supported including the selection of candidates for improvement. At the individual building level a drill-down analysis is supported by two modes of audit models, a calibrated simple normative model and a high fidelity dynamic simulation model. Both models contain explicit representations of uncertainty in the parameters and model assumptions and can thus be used to quantify the spread in energy performance of the proposed retrofit. This result is vital to support risk-conscious decision-making for retrofit stakeholders. This paper summarizes the findings of the two projects.

Badgir: Designe With Nature, a Traditional Architectural and Climate Element in Hot Dry Region of Iran
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Mikaeili, Mahshid; Memlük, Yalçın
Perfonnance and energy consumption in buildings are considered to be the most important factor in climate. Today energy consumption reduction requirement is purpose of climatic sensitivity depending on the use of natural resources and promoting comfort in life, healthy and sustainable living spaces, and sustainable building design. Nowadays sustainable design and construction strategies have great importance. Wind, as the source of renewable energy, is the vital factor in climate studies. Wind is the most significant factor used by architects in building design in order to natural ventilation. Badgir -Wind catcher or Wind tower- is a wind dependent and wind driven architectural element, as component ofEco Architecture is depending on natural, climatic phenomena and renewable energy sources. The operating system of badgir depends on the air convection and evaporation. The most important function of the Badgir is cooling the building interior with natural methods without consuming energy in hot, dry or humid areas. The most effective role of Badgir is the reduction of heat and adjustment of temperature of inner life spaces on the basis of comfort with the help of natural convection currents of clean air ventilation.
Sustainability of Earthen Construction in North Cyprus
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Pekrioğlu Balkıs , Ayşe; Balkıs, Mete Mutlu
Sustainability depends on the maintenance of the natural world and natural resources. Built environment has the greatest impact on environment. Reducing energy consumption of construction and life cycle of the buildings will contribute to the sustainability. In this study, traditional structures of North Cyprus and their effective structures for environment protection have been analyzed. Traditional structures in Cyprus were built with natural materials such as stone and earth that creates healthy indoors, concerning the climatic conditions. Structures constructed with industrial materials no longer provide indoor comfort. Lots of energy is being used to provide indoor climate in today's buildings. A very large part of consumed energy in Cyprus is being used by residential sector. Earth is a natural building material made from sand, clay, and water. They may also be produced with some kind of fibrous or organic material (sticks, straw, dung) which is shaped into bricks using frames and dried in the sun. Earthen structures are extremely durable and account for some of the oldest extant buildings on the planet. Earth's strength and durability can be improved if needed. Dense forms of stabilized earthen construction have high thermal mass and able to store heat and provide long term energy savings for cooling in summer and heating in winter so, provide bioclimatic comfort for health with a suitable humidity and thereby balance indoor climate. Due to their high thermal comfort and being cultural characteristic properties of Cyprus, sustainability of Earthen structures are important. Earthen construction is not meeting with today's requirements because it has some disability such as low water resistance and low earthquake resistance. But these properties can be stabilized with gypsum. Revival of earthen construction will protect earthen architectural heritage.
Updating a Hospital Building. a Task for Innovation Design
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Bakowski, Jaroslaw
Refurbishment of a hospital, especially located in a historical building, is a task that goes far beyond a standard framework of architectural practice. A concept of modularity in the architecture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century was only just to happen, building system installations and technical equipment appeared as the simplest solutions. Inscribing complex functional solutions into such a space is an interesting design challenge. Besides of classical architectural design problems, there are several factors that should be considered - ongoing changes in functioning of the health-care system, growing social needs and expectations, expanding possibilities of implementation, both in terms of medicine or medical technology and hospital environment. What is sometimes referred to as an innovation in health-care architecture is under constant change and development. It happens the changes are introduced by leaps and bounds, thanks to breakthroughs in medicine or as a result of constant progress in medical technologies. These changes and their impact on architectural design can be a fascinating subject itself. Construction of a hospital from a scratch, taking into account the possible development of knowledge, is a complex and complicated task. It becomes even more complicated when we deal with a hospital located in a historic building. Entering a building on a list of heritage or historical objects does not rule out completely the possibility of its expansion, adaptation or modernization for purposes related to health care. The need for functioning health-care facility in the existing place, albeit at the expense of far-reaching changes in its historical fabric, is the supreme value - at least the location in an urban system that's something that cannot be ignored. A hospital complex formed in this way will retain all its existing advantages and will provide adequate space meeting the requirements of modem medicine.
The Role of Landscaping on Buildings' Energy Efficiency
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Shakouri, Nasim
During the recent years, the number of buildings has been increased with the rapid growth of populations in cities, which cause proliferation in the total energy consumption. It also has negative impacts on the urban environment. Today, one of the challenges of buildings' design is to find some efficient solutions to reduce the energy consumption. For this purpose, different types of construction materials and methods have been applied. Over the past few years, sustainable building design which is an energy and ecologically consciousness approach has gained significant importance in urban design. According to the goals of this term, structural materials are not sufficient enough uniquely. Therefore, new adaption strategies such as placing the vegetation directly on buildings (rooftop garden, green walls and etc.) have become more efficient. In this study, the role of landscaping on energy efficiencies of the buildings has been evaluated. Various methods of integrating plants to the buildings have been analyzed in order to decrease the energy consumption. In addition, the methods have been compared with construction materials from different points of view: the energy consumption, the surface temperatures and energy fluxes out of buildings and their effects on environmental problems. The results obtained from different studies indicate that landscaping has significant role on optimizing energy performance in buildings especially during utility peak demand period. Although, landscaping would require more time and cost initially in contrast with construction materials used in buildings. Within the scope of sustainable design in urban area, it is obvious that using the plants in buildings will have positive impacts resolving the environmental issues and energy saving comparing to non-vegetated buildings.
Vernacular Settlements in Cultural Continuity Context
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Yılmaz Çakmak, Bilgehan; Çınar, Kerim
Analysing vernacular settlements, in contex of reservation of cultural heritage and transferring local identity to future generations, are coming into prominence day by day. In this respect, Anatolia has rich sources in global literature ,especially in residental design. Vernacular settlements in :Middle Anatolia, are the best examples of the cultural herritage in terms of spatial organization and configuration characteristics. According to syntax of spaces and functional hiyerarshy, analysing the spatial structure of rural dwellings is very important Because these analyses helps us to explain and understand traditional space culture and effection of life style to spatial form. Konya as a research area, has significiant examples of residental culture in different geographies which consists of several topographic and climatic properties. By analysing rural dwellings in vernacular settlements, it is determined that, they are differentiated plain and mount dwellings according to life styles and environmental factors. It caused metamorphosis in spatial organization and functional structure by the reflection of user requirements. With the support of technological methods, analysing traditional spaces with modem techniques, is qualified as a "innovative movement". In this study a mathematical method called "space syntax" is used in proving the relation of spatial organization and social life. By using this technological method , some findings about functional structure and spatial connection occured. These findings are used to understand the relation of socio-cultural life and spatial configuration. As a conclusion, it is determined that the trails of culture can be seen in usage and syntax of spaces. The relation of social life and spatial configuration is provided as objective criterion with the help of technological method. And it is predicted as a innovative method in recent house designs.
A Comparative Evaluation of Basement Wall Insulation Types
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Pekrioğlu Balkıs, Ayşe
In this study, types of insulation materials, insulation techniques for the basement and effect on environnıent have been studied. This paper explains the usefulness of basement wall insulation and lists the advantages and disadvantages of various insulation materials. There are many different types of insulation materials. In ternıs of energy efficiency, investing in high levels of insulation materials is more costeffective than investing in expensive heating technologies. It is worth taking the time to choose the right materials in the context of whole building design. An energy efficient building envelope contains both a thermal barrier and an air barrier. The key to an effective thernıal barrier is proper installation of quality insulation products. Insulation is a key component of sustainable building design. A well insulated buildings reduce costs for energy by keeping warnı in the winter and cool in the sunımer, and this in tum cuts down carbon emissions linked to global climate change.

(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Arkun, Ali Kemal
Culture is the factor, nature is the medium and cultural landscape is the result. Researches on cultural landscape is increasing and gaining significance in order to understand, evaluate and protect the values of landscapes. Research, evaluation and protection of cultural landscape features provide values to be transferred to the future. At the same time conservation of cultural landscape areas in urban districts is very important to read and sustain spatial identity. Ulus Historic City Center (llliCC) which has the most significant cultural landscape features of Ankara, is the main material of this research. The objective of this research is to explore how UHCC is changed from past to present, how it is affected by this change, how it is used today and documenting change and transformation of cultural landscape components within cultural landscape criteria method. Aesthetic value, identity value, historical and archeological value, social value, artistic value and scientific value are determined cultural landscape criteria for this research. This methodology is used for digital documentation, interpretation and presentation of cultural heritage of UHCC. Cultural landscape components which can be examined in open, semi open and closed spaces (structures related to historic fabric, paths, squares, green spaces and other physical components) and besides social and cultural features of spaces is the content of this research. UHCC's most important five nodes and its vicinities which make significant contributions to its character, are selected. These nodes are historical focal points and contain various cultural landscape components. In this article one node is explained as a case study. Research included examining all available documentation dating from early settlement of the local area through present day. Historic maps, plans, photographs, pictures and drawings were examined and compared to determine changes and transformations occurred in the landscape throughout different periods of history.
Rice Straw Fiber Biocomposites Potentials in Contemporary Architecture
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Dahy, Hanaa; Knippers, Jan
Compared to synthetic fibers, natural fibers have many advantages such as renewability, availability, low cost, biodegradability, non-toxicity and other excellent properties. Rice Straw Fiber (RSF) is considered to be an important but still abundant natural fiber when compared to other known industrial natural fibers like jute, kenaf and hemp. Inspite of the fact that RSF is considered one of the highest biomasses in the world, it still lacks much more deep research to investigate all its possible potentials in different industrial fields, especially in the building industry. On the other hand and as a result, this fibre with all its potentials is still illegally burnt in huge amounts worldwide causing extreme environmental damage as it's still considered an agricultural "waste", much more than a "resource" of its own. Thus, the main objective of this paperwork is to highlight the potentials of rice straw fiber as an active filler together with its reinforcement activities in biocomposites as well as the "as -is" method of using this fibre in its raw form in direct building applications that should be also discussed. This will be achieved through the analysis and synthesis of a number of technologies, examples and applications of rice straw fiber composite materials. In addition, different technologies used in the industrialization of such biocomposites will be illustrated according to the outcome product reached, and categorized.
New Formations in Circulation Areas and Technology
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Canbakal Ataoğlu, Nihan
In the post-modem period, in today' s architecture, spectacular and dramatic changes are observed in the formation of buildings and the organization of interior space. Even though these dramatic changes draw attention in the forms of structures at first glance, when interior space organizations and circulation areas are analyzed, radical changes are identified in design strategies, scale, geometry, perception, and size of circulation spaces. Circulation spaces of today, which take form around large and complex atriums, are designed with ramps, bridges, transparent elevators, stairs, escalators, and take shape with expressions of speed and dynamism which reflect spirit of the age. These new, exciting, interesting, surprising and dynamic circulation areas, which offer experiences very different from ordinary circulation areas designed with the traditional and conventional concept, take nourishment from computer technologies, new materials, new structures and new technologies.
Simulation Model Assessment of a Sound Insulating Double Façade System With Openings for Natural Ventilation Under Guidance of Laboratory Measurements
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Çakır, Onurcan; Lechleitner, Josef; Mahdavi, Ardeshir
Noise control and natural ventilation are two main building physics issues which have contradictory principles. While natural ventilation needs openings on the façade in order to let fresh air in, the desired acoustic insulation is provided with minimum openings or without any opening on the wall. This paper presents a comparison between the simulation model results and laboratory measurements of a double façade system which is proposed in order to minimize outdoor noise coming through façade openings in naturally ventilated buildings. The double façade with twenty five openable equal-size particleboard panels on each side was constructed as a full scale model in the laboratory and the same setup was modeled in a computer simulation program. Different parts from these two parallel walls were taken out and the effect of the distance between these openings on the sound reduction value of the system has been analyzed. After the measurements; materials, their sound absorption coefficients and the reverberation times of two rooms were calibrated in the simulation program accordingly and simulations were run in order to check if it would be possible to continue this research only with computer models. The results are compared and differences between the simulation and laboratory measurements are stated in this paper.
New Technologies for Cultural Heritage Documentation and Conservation: the Role of Geomatics
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Tucci, Grazia; Bonora, Valentina
The concept of Cultural Heritage is rapidly evolving, connoting the union of an intrinsic and an extrinsic value that includes several economic, territorial, environmental, academic and social aspects. The terrible natura! disasters ( cyclones, cloudbursts, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes) that periodically occur weaken our fragile cultural heritage, which is constantly exposed to risk factors. Failing to protect it has negative effects on the sectors mentioned above, as we know that far some of these phenomena the anthropic action (i.e. pollution, improper use) actively contributed to their occurrence. In compliance with this wider view, the scientific and technological research is acting in different fields: from chemical, physical and biological sciences to nanosciences, from the methods of spatial positioning to info sciences.
