Landscape design as art: An experimental methodology with the use of neurographic art and metaball geometry
(International Journal of Built Environment and Sustainability, 2025-01-10) Ağırbaş, Aslı; Sabyrova, R.; Kirhalli, T. E. ; Architecture; AĞIRBAŞ, Aslı
With the use of new technological solutions, non-Euclidean forms can be created in various software platforms and can be produced or fabricated in order to be parts of real world design works. Therefore, new methodology proposals for creation of non-Euclidean forms can be helpful to both designers and design students. In this study, an experimental landscape design methodology which is carried out within the scope of Ozyegin University, Department of Architecture, Architectural Design Studio V and Parametric Design courses, is presented and discussed. Neurographic art is used as a manual art case and metaball script is used as a digital art case of this method. This method has been evaluated and discussed from the perspective of the educators and students. As a result, it has been concluded that the proposed landscape design methodology can be used for the creation of non-Euclidean landscape design forms.

Investigating the impact of muqarnas on the daylighting performance of historical Turkish baths
(2024) Ağırbaş, Aslı; Yıldız, E.; Architecture; AĞIRBAŞ, Aslı
The intangible cultural heritage features of historical buildings became an important issue after the adoption of UNESCO’s Safeguarding of Intangible Heritage. In addition to all their other traditional features, the atmosphere of the interior of Turkish baths (hammams), which includes daylight and steam, can be regarded as their intangible cultural heritage feature. Furthermore, the interrelation between daylight and the geometric features of these baths is a crucial parameter in creating this atmosphere. Therefore, this study focused on the interaction between daylight intake and the muqarnas of traditional Turkish baths. The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of muqarnas decorations on daylight intake in the interior space of historical Turkish baths through simulations. Also, a model that can optimize the muqarnas geometry according to the desired amount of annual daylight intake in the space was proposed. A section of the bath with muqarnas in its dome transition element was selected for daylighting analysis. After the simulation setups were completed, daylighting analysis simulations were conducted on the three-dimensional models of the Turkish bath, both with and without muqarnas. According to the simulation results, muqarnas were observed to have a slight effect on daylight intake. The proposed optimization model emphasizes the relationship between the amount of daylighting in the interior and the muqarnas. The optimization experiments demonstrated that daylighting performance can be enhanced with the help of muqarnas decorations.
