Dilaveroğlu, Büşra
Architecture has always been a means of communicating stories through its design, with its structures and
spaces serving as visual narratives. However, recent advancements in technology have created opportunities
for architects to enhance their storytelling capabilities through the use of text-to-image algorithms. These
algorithms have the potential to improve visual narratives by enabling architects to translate written descriptions
into tangible visual representations. This article explores the architecture of visual narrative and
how text-to-image algorithms can enhance it in diverse styles. This inquiry aims to help architectural
epistemology understand and foresee the potential impact of this technology on the field of architecture. To
understand the limits of AI in generating styles to enhance architectural narrative, six distinct styles were
chosen for experimentation. The styles were selected based on their unique features, including an architect’s
style, movement, or era. These styles include Zaha Hadid, Brutalist, modern-minimalistic, Peter Zumthor,
Gothic, and Gaudi. The narrative was kept the same for each style while observing the changes in AIgenerated
visuals. The results were evaluated by comparing AI’s interpretations in terms of stylistic, environmental,
material, form-based, and atmospheric features. While the results showed promise in terms of
variations in each category, AI was not successful in implementing all stylistic features while keeping the
narrative stable. In particular, after the second environment layer, the modern-minimalistic, Zumthor, and
Brutalist styles lost their distinct features, while Gothic and Gaudi-inspired visuals were hardly generated
even in the second environment layer. As a result, AI performed well in generating detailed environmental
features without any given narrative and creating an atmospheric environment with enlightening the environment
for the last layer.

Ağırbaş, Aslı; Yıldız, Enes
Decorative “muqarnas” add charm to the design element and may influence the characteristics of an interior space. This
study hypothesises that muqarnas in traditional Turkish baths (hammams) affect acoustic performances of such interior
spaces. To test this hypothesis, a bath with muqarnas as the dome transition element was selected and a comparative study,
in terms of acoustics quality with and without the decorative muqarnas, was conducted. Furthermore, the effect of different
muqarnas configurations on acoustic quality of the interior space has been tested via optimisation simulations. With the
use of optimisation model, a form of parametric muqarnas in the selected interior space was optimised according to the
acoustic objectives. The optimisation tests were conducted with the objectives of increasing C50 (Clarity), C80, Reverberation
Time (RT), Speech Transmission Index (STI), and decreasing RT. It was found that muqarnas do have an impact on acoustic
performance of the interior space and the optimisation experiments suggest that different muqarnas configurations have
different impact on the acoustic quality.

Kudumoviç, Lana; Yıldırım, İnanç Işıl
Contemporary architecture, within the historic urban settings, is acquired as the contribution of the current time to a particular existing ambience, whereas new
interventions are expected to be significant authorship achievements. This paper discusses the new qualities within the historic urban fabric produced by the contemporary
interventions, in particular, those of balanced contrast. Such new spatial contributions may be applied on different levels (ambience (urban), object and detail), while each
of them is expected to produce added qualities. Built on different theories about space qualities and characteristics, this paper evaluates selected examples by distinguishing
three major groups of produced qualities (physical, economic and socio-cultural). This paper also suggests balanced contrast applied to new interventions within the valuable
historic ambience as an acceptable approach. Finally, the correlation of all comprising elements of the newly design objects with the surroundings is emphasised to be
important in producing new values.

Ökten, Burcu Balaban; Baykan, Zahide Nur
İnşaat sektörünün hızlı karar alan dinamik
bir yapısı vardır. Bu dinamik iş yapma
kültürü, içerisinde tasarım değişikliklerini de
barındırmaktadır. Tasarım değişikliklerinin
amacı genel olarak projelerin kalitesini ve
verimliliğini arttırmaktır. Fakat, tasarım
değişikliklerine bağlı yaşanan sorunlar, proje
performansını düşürerek, yeniden işlemelere
(rework), zaman ve maliyet artışlarına ve
kalitenin düşmesine neden olabilmektedir.
Bu çalışmada Türk inşaat sektöründe tasarım
değişikliklerinin sebepleri ve bu sebeplerin
proje performansına etkilerinin alan
çalışması üzerinden tespit edilmesi
amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için,
Türkiye Mimarlar Odası yarışma
yönetmeliğine göre düzenlenmiş Yarışma
Projelerinden inşaatı bitmiş sekiz proje
seçilmiştir. Araştırmada ödül almış yarışma
projelerinin inşa edilmiş durumları ile
karşılaştırmasının yapılması hedeflenmiştir.
İnşa edilen yapıların tasarım ekipleri ile
yapılan görüşmeler ile inşaat süreçlerinde
yaşanan tasarım değişiklikleri tespit
edilmiştir. Görüşmelerden elde edilen
tasarım değişiklikleri sebepleri ile literatürde
yer alan araştırmalar karşılaştırıldığında
tasarım değişikliğine sebep olan nedenlerin
örtüştüğü görülmüştür. Bunlar; şartnamede
düzenlemeler ve eksik tanımlar, işlevlerin
eklenmesi/ihmal edilmesi, yavaş karar
verme, sürekli değişen talepler, paydaşlar
arası koordinasyon eksikliği, tasarımda
eksiklikler/tutarsızlıklar, tasarım aşamasında
bilgi eksikliği, deneyimsiz ekipler / yetersiz
yüklenici / uzman personel eksikliği,
beklenmedik koşullar ve işçilik, olarak
sıralanmaktadır. Alan çalışmasından elde
edilen bulgulara göre; tasarım değişikliğinin
proje performansına en önemli dört etkisinin
kalite, süre, maliyet ve yeniden işleme
(rework) olduğu görülmektedir. Tasarım
değişikliklerinin kontrol edilebilmesi için
etkili proje iletişiminin sağlanması ve
tasarım süreçlerinin veriminin arttırılabilmesi
için tasarım ve yapım aşamaları arasında iş
birliğinin sağlanması gerekmektedir.; The construction industry has a dynamic structure that takes quick decisions. This dynamic business culture also includes
design changes. The purpose of design changes is to improve the quality and efficiency of projects in general. However,
problems due to design changes can reduce project performance, cause rework, increase time and cost, and decrease quality.
In this study, it is aimed to determine the causes of design changes that cause time and cost increases, quality problems and
rework in the Turkish construction sector and the effects of these reasons on project performance through field study. To
achieve this aim, firstly, the Competition Projects arranged according to the competition regulations of the Turkish Chamber of
Architects are listed. Then, the ones whose construction was completed were selected from these projects. The design changes
and their reasons during the construction phases of these projects were investigated. Within the scope of the study, eight
completed projects were selected. This study aims to compare an award-winning project with its built state. Interviews were
held with the design teams of the constructed structures. Design changes in the construction processes were determined
through the interviews. The reasons for the design changes obtained from the interviews were compared with the literature.
The reasons for the design change overlap with the literature. These are listed as; Regulations and incomplete definitions in
the specification, addition/omission of functions, slow decision-making, constantly changing demands, lack of coordination
between stakeholders, deficiencies/inconsistencies in design, lack of knowledge in the design phase, inexperienced teams /
insufficient contractor/lack of expert personnel, unexpected conditions, and workmanship. According to the findings obtained
from the field study, it is seen that the four most important effects of a design change on project performance are quality, time,
cost and rework. Design changes lead to rework and rebuilds. Changes made cause project delays and cost overruns. Other
effects of design change affecting project performance are poor quality and workmanship. It has been seen that effective
project communication should be ensured to control design changes. To achieve this, a common understanding of problems,
sharing of experiences, team harmony and a culture of cooperation are required. Success factors that increase the efficiency of
building design management are listed as communication, decision-making, information management, performance evaluation,
planning, risk management and team management. These factors help to address the difficulties to be experienced throughout
the project early in the design phase. Collaboration between the design and construction phases is required for the design to
be more productive and efficient.
