Changing pedagogic identities of tutors and students in the design studio: Case study of desk and peer critiques
(Intellect Ltd., 2020-04-01) Yorgancıoğlu, Derya; Tunali, S.; Architecture; YORGANCIOĞLU, Derya
This article explores the tools and processes of effective learning in the design studio with a special emphasis on the pedagogic roles of the tutors and the students in desk critique and peer critique. It aims to identify the ways that pedagogical roles of the tutor and the student change due to the nature of their communication and the degree of their engagement in learning processes. The inquiry is based on the findings of a qualitative case study involving tutors, students and graduates from a bachelor of architecture degree programme. Data were gathered via focus group and in-depth interviews, studio observations and analysed through qualitative content analysis. The findings indicated that the pedagogic identity of a tutor could help scaffold the formation of a community of learners in the design studio. However, the lack of negotiation and trust between a tutor and students in the feedback processes weakens the students' effective learning experiences.

Completing the missing link in building design process: Enhancing post-occupancy evaluation method for effective feedback for building performance
(Elsevier, 2015-07) Göçer, Özgür; Hua, Y.; Göçer, K.; Architecture; GÖÇER, Özgür
This paper provides a review of the improvements in the evaluation of building performance and introduces a new method for post-occupancy evaluation (POE) to complete the missing link in the building design process. Existing studies were reviewed to understand the possible reasons for the missing link of “building performance feedback”. The intention of this paper is to set out a new vision for how future post-occupancy evaluation can close the building performance feedback loop to better inform building design. The spatial mapping method adopted extends the use of building information modeling (BIM), which has shown great potential for the future of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, and uses geographical information systems (GIS), which is a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing relationships between geographical units and their data. This study explores how to establish a communication platform for different stakeholders in order to engage them in the collaborative effort of continuous building performance improvement by using the results of POE embedded into BIM. In this paper, the experiences of a POE study of a LEED® Platinum building and a historical building on a university campus are reported as examples to illustrate the proposed new method.

The contextual information requirements for collection and use of occupant feedback in BIM-enabled FM
(Emerald, 2023) Artan, D.; Tekçe, Işılay; Yilmaz, N.; Ergen, E.; Interior Architecture and Environmental Design; TEKÇE, Işılay
Purpose: Occupant feedback is crucial for healthy, comfortable and productive offices. Existing facility management (FM) systems are limited in effective use of occupant feedback, as they fail to collect the vital contextual information (e.g. related building element, space) associated with the feedback. The purpose of this study is to formalise the contextual information requirements for structured collection of occupant feedback for rapid diagnosis and resolution of problems and integrating occupant feedback with building information modelling (BIM) for making use of its visualisation and analysis capabilities, and eventually for effective use of occupant feedback in FM operations. Design/methodology/approach: A mixed-methods approach was conducted in four steps: (1) identifying occupant feedback types (e.g. echo in meeting room) in office buildings, (2) examining the current practice in collecting and processing occupant feedback via use cases, (3) determining the contextual information requirements via expert interviews and (4) validation of the information requirements via a BIM-integrated prototype. Findings: The findings present the contextual information requirements for 107 occupant feedback types grouped under thermal comfort, indoor air quality, acoustic comfort, visual comfort, building design and facility services. Practical implications: Feedback-specific contextual information items enable structured data collection and help to avoid missing data and minimise the time lost in manual data entry and recursive interaction with the occupants during FM operations. Originality/value: The contextual information requirements determined are expected to enhance occupant satisfaction and FM performance in office buildings by better use of the occupant feedback and integration into BIM-enabled FM and can be extended to other building types in future studies by using the proposed methodology.

Geometric decomposition and algorithmic model of main gate muqarnas of Ankara Cenabi Ahmet Pasha Mosque
(Elsevier, 2024-09-01) Asli Agirbas; Architecture; AĞIRBAŞ, Aslı
Cenabi Ahmet Pasha Mosque (Cenab-ıAhmet Pa¸s a Mosque) is known to be the only work that resembles the style of Architect Sinan in Ankara. In this study, it is aimed to examine the two-dimensional muqarnas scheme of the mosque’s main gate and to determine through algorithmic modeling the combination of muqarnas cells in the third dimension. By the photogrammetry method, the grid and star forms used in the muqarnas plan scheme are revealed. The geometric characteristic of the muqarnas in two dimensions is determined. Cell types of the muqarnas and their geometric configurations are obtained. It is demon- strated that there is a radial grid in the plan of the Cenabi Ahmet Pasha Mosque main gate muqarnas, and that the three-dimensional structure of the muqarnas consisting of six layers includes almond cell, triangle cell, deltoid cell, intermediate triangle cell, intermediate deltoid cell, biped cell and triped cell. Additionally, an algorithmic model based on the creation of cell unit system is proposed for the creation of the muqarnas geometry in 3D.

A quantitative investigation of the factors affecting patterns of occupation in a suburban campus: The case of Ozyegin University In Istanbul
(ArchNet, 2018) Özbil Torun, A.; Göçer, Özgür; Bakovic, M.; Göçer, Kenan; Architecture; GÖÇER, Özgür; GÖÇER, Kenan
This study investigates the patterns of occupation of outdoor spaces on a suburban university campus and seeks to understand the factors that affect them. The comprehensive methodology applied in this research attempted to overcome some of the shortcomings of related studies by conducting a longitudinal study (behavioral mapping during a year, as opposed to a few days) and by objectively analyzing the associations of user behavior and physical attributes, and the configurational properties of the campus layout. The results show that campus users fail to capitalize on the potential offered by the spatial configuration of outdoor spaces because they are not supported by amenities for pedestrians such as seating, shading elements and catering facilities. Supporting campus outdoor spaces that have the configurational potential of bringing various types of users (students and staff) with amenities for pedestrians and service facilities would create a lively and sustainable campus for its users.

Structural equation model of occupant satisfaction for evaluating the performance of office buildings
(Springer Nature, 2020-08) Tekçe, Işılay; Ergen, E.; Artan, D.; Interior Architecture and Environmental Design; TEKÇE, Işılay
Measuring occupant satisfaction and collecting feedback is critical for evaluating building performance, shaping comfort, effective decision-making in building improvements, and consequently enhancing the well-being of occupants. Numerous post-occupancy evaluation tools have been developed for examining occupant satisfaction in different building types; however, they are criticized in the recent studies for failing to (1) empirically examine the interrelated influence of a broad range of factors on occupant satisfaction, (2) include expert opinion from the industry in the indicator determination process, (3) collect contextual information along with the feedback in real-time and in a continuous manner and (4) provide effective mechanisms to integrate occupant feedback in the building models to enable visualization and performing queries on feedback items. The purpose of this paper is to develop an occupant satisfaction measurement model for monitoring the perceived performance of office buildings. A hierarchical structural model was developed based on the literature review, analysis of occupant feedback records in office buildings, and focus group meetings with facility managers to determine the constructs of occupant satisfaction. This model was empirically validated via structural equation modeling (SEM) using the survey data collected from 300 office occupants. The proposed SEM model, which adopts a total of 27 indicators across six dimensions, is found to be highly satisfactory indicating a strong association between dimensions and occupant satisfaction. The findings emphasize that building design and facility service dimensions need to be considered along with physical comfort dimensions when determining occupant satisfaction. The main contribution of the paper is the empirically validated, holistic, SEM model of occupant satisfaction, which is developed based on current practice and industry practitioners' feedback and integrates building design and facility services with physical comfort dimensions. In the following phase of the research, the developed occupant satisfaction measurement model was used as the basis for designing a prototype, which enables decision-makers to collect occupant feedback continuously and integrate it with building information modeling to visualize and perform queries on feedback items. Eventually, this measurement model is expected to contribute to making more effective decisions based on the actual performance of the facility in the post-occupancy phase and enhance building performance as well as occupant well-being and productivity.

Student and tutor perceptions of the pedagogical potential and challenges of design jury as an assessment method
(Sage, 2022-04) Yorgancıoğlu, Derya; Tunalı, S.; Çetinel, M.; Architecture; YORGANCIOĞLU, Derya
This article examines the pedagogical potential and challenges of the design jury as an assessment method from the perceptions of the tutor/jury member and the design students. It aims to gain an understanding of the factors that create opportunities for, and barriers to, the promotion of learning in the design jury. It inquires the possible contributions of the jury into formative evaluation processes in design education. The results show that (1) the communication modalities, and (2) the evaluation criteria influence the way tutors and students perceive design jury as a pedagogical method. While the hierarchy between the jury member and the student creates a barrier to constructive feedback, a balance between formative and summative evaluations is essential in the design jury. Transparency of evaluation criteria decreases design students’ concern for grade. The design jury could also serve for formative evaluation. A student-centred approach to design jury engenders experiences of deep learning.
