The aim of this research was investigating the effect of (i) Low-E glazing window and (ii) clear glass window equipped with optimized shade on the circadian light distribution across an interior space. To that end, computer simulations were conducted in the Grasshopper® for Rhin…
This dissertation examines the associations between the technology acceptance model and modernization theory with Libyans’ perceptions of cave dwellings in the Nafusa Mountains region, West of Tripoli. The researcher formally tested hypotheses linking cave dwelling's ease of use…
In the past few decades, structural control research has focused mostly on passive and semiactive vibration mitigation strategies. Among the latter, the clipped-optimal control paradigm is one of the most commonly used. With this control strategy, a primary controller is designe…
The concept of a dynamic building enclosure is a relatively novel and unexplored area in sustainable architectural design and engineering and as such, could be considered a new paradigm. These façade systems, kinetic and adaptive in their nature, can provide opportunities for si…
Türk edebiyatında sanatın ve estetik anlayışın tarih içinde gelişim ve değişimini gösteren önemli kaynaklardan biri olan mecmualar, genellikle mürettiplerinin şahsî zevklerine göre muhtelif şair/yazarların farklı nazım şekilleriyle kaleme aldıkları manzum-mensur metinlerin derle…
Dünya genelinde kentlerdeki nüfus artışı ve yapılaşmanın büyümesi ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda kentte çok merkezliliğe neden olmuştur. Bu çok merkezlilik tarihi kent merkezlerinde kimlik kaybına ve kent merkezlerinin köhnemesine sebep olmuştur. Tarihi kent merkezlerindeki bu negatif…
Geçmişi milattan önceki yıllara dayanan gösteri salonları, müziğe ve tiyatroya ilginin artmasıyla işlevini geliştirerek açık tiyatrolardan özel gösteri salonlarına dönüşmüştür. Günümüzde gösteri salonlarındaki en önemli girdi dinleyici/izleyicinin konforu haline gelmiştir. Şüphe…
Performans tabanlı plastik tasarım yöntemi, tasarımın başında hedef ötelenme değerini ve mekanizma durumunu tasarım kriterleri olarak kullanan çok etkili bir yöntemdir. Yönetmeliklerce belirlenen birçok tasarım yönteminde ise tasarım yapıldıktan sonra mekanizma durumu ve yapının…
17 Hr Days is a body of work that re-creates physical and mental sensations experienced on construction job sites. The work evokes curiosity and discovery in exploring the transitory and incomplete spaces of a work site from the perspective of a child while simultaneously examin…
This thesis explores a new technique for design through perspective which produces a phenomenon that reorders our perception of the familiar effects of lightness, heaviness, flatness, and depth within the same framework.
In the late 1960s three young architects moved to New Mexico, Antoine Predock, Michael Reynolds, and Edward Mazria. They each experimented with finding a way to integrate the moral imperatives of the environmental movement into architectural form. Each architect gives an essenti…
The number of Tall buildings is growing rapidly in metropolitan areas in the US and around the world. These buildings, designed to meet certain performance goal, will sustain damage during a large magnitude earthquake. The incurred damage can be light, moderate or severe. While …
The field of structural wind engineering is in the process of a momentous transformation. Uplift pressures for the design of components and cladding on roofs have been significantly revised. Performance-based wind design is under development. Wind loads are evolving to include t…
Utilization of precast members in bridge construction is also known as accelerated bridge construction (ABC) and may be preferable to conventional cast-in-place (CIP) method because it can significantly expedite project delivery. The design of precast member connections is criti…
Práce se zabývá rozsáhlou analýzou současného stavu poznání užití nanomateriálů v památkové péči při obnově, stabilizaci, konzervaci a restaurování historických materiálů, prezentuje dílčí experimentální výsledky (laboratorní a in-situ) použití vybraných nanosystémů aplikovaných…
