Article Citation - WoS: 12The Role of Aerodynamic Modifications in the Form of Tall Buildings Against Wind Excitation(Middle East Technical Univ, 2007) Ilgin, H. Emre; Gunel, M. HalisModern tall buildings go higher and higher with the advances in structural design and high strength materials. However, every advance in height comes with a new difficulty. Efficient structural systems, high strength materials, and increased height, result with decrease in building weight and damping, and increase in slenderness. On the other hand, as the height and slenderness increase, buildings suffer from increased flexibility, which has negative effects in wind loading. Flexible structures are affected by vibration under the action of wind which cause building motion, and plays an important role in the structural and architectural designs. Understandably, contemporary tall buildings are much more vulnerable to wind excitation than their predecessors. Hence, different design methods and modifications are possible in order to ensure the functional performance of flexible structures and control the wind induced motion of tall buildings. An extremely important and effective design approach among these methods is aerodynamic modifications in architecture. In this context, the authors classify these aerodynamic modifications in architecture for resisting the lateral loads. Wind safe tall building design begins with the architect, and the influence of the wind action must be taken into consideration from the very beginning of the architectural design process by considering building aerodynamics.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Analysis of a Historic Masonry Building(Croatian Soc Civil Engineers-hsgi, 2011) Ozmen, Cengiz; Özmen, Cengiz; Akan, Asli Er; Akan, Aslı; Unay, Ali Ihsan; MimarlıkThe paper starts from the observation that historic masonry buildings are often modified and altered to make them fit for present day use. A single-family masonry house in Turkey, situated in an earthquake prone area and built in the early 20(th) century, is studied. The analysis is made based on Turkish regulations for the initial building and for the building after alterations. Introduction of a reinforced-concrete slab has greatly improved seismic resistance of the building.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Architect - Structural Engineer Collaboration in Sustainable Structural System Design(Gazi Univ, 2011) Ozmen, Cengiz; Özmen, Cengiz; Unay, Ali Ihsan; MimarlıkThis paper explores ways of collaboration between architects and structural engineers in the design of sustainable structural systems. Areas of collaboration are explored in terms of seismic design of new structures and rehabilitation of existing structures. Multidisciplinary design teams and an integrated design approach are critical to the process of sustainable building construction. The required group-work skills should be acquired by architects and engineers during their professional education. As a result, this paper also investigates ways in which the structural design education of architects and structural engineers can be redesigned to make their future professional collaboration more harmonious.Review Mimarlığın Maddiliği(Middle East Technical Univ, 2020) Çavdar, Rabia Çiğdem; Cavdar, Rabia Cigdem; MimarlıkArticle Rock-Cut Facades: Conveyors of 'false Monumentality in Byzantine Cappadocia(Cambridge Univ Press, 2022) Ozturk Buke, Fatma GulThe monumental rock-cut facades of the tenth to eleventh century-mansions - so-called courtyard complexes - in Cappadocia, central Turkey, are rare examples of secular Byzantine architecture. While these symmetrically designed facades adorned with superimposed arches differ from the simpler ones (both carved and built) in the region, they bear striking similarities to others from the broader Mediterranean basin. This article offers new insights into the discussion on the uniqueness of the rock-cut facades of courtyard complexes and reconsiders the raison d'etre of this 'false' monumentality in the rural setting of Byzantine Cappadocia.
