    DESIGN AND COUNTER DESIGN AGAINST CONSUMPTION: 1972 “ITALY, THE NEW DOMESTIC LANDSCAPE” EXHIBITION (1)
    (2023) Boysan, Aysu; Tunca, Gülru Mutlu
    In Western Europe, the 1960s and 1970s covered the radical criticism of some European designers against mass production and consumption. Several Italian Radical designers raised the most compelling objection at an exhibition on the other side of the ocean: “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” (INDL), curated by Emilio Ambasz in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1972. INDL marked a significant moment in contemporary design history. For the show, Ambasz selected more than a hundred “objects” produced by Italian manufacturers and displayed them in specially designed cases in the garden area. Moreover, he invited eleven Italian designers to create unique “microenvironments” by interpreting concepts assigned by a “special design program,” such as environmental psychology, locality, urbanism, micro and macro-scale housing, consumerism, and mass production. Although the “objects” displayed in the garden were of great importance - since the event was one of the first instances of Italian design’s introduction to the American public-this study concentrates on the contradicting responses of Italian designers, under headings “design and counterdesign as postulation” for understanding the design philosophy behind the appearance of “design versus non-design” dialectics of that era, which is still a recognized topic in contemporary architectural theory. This study, therefore, analyzes the eclectic and postmodern approaches of six Italian designers in the “design” category and the provocative denials of Radical designers presented under the “counterdesign” category. It aims to understand better the impact of this discursive opposition made visible by the exhibition on the anticonsumerist approaches and the search for alternative methodologies, which subsequently increased among designers.

    Revisiting the Concept of Ephemerality in the Counter-Culture Architecture of the 1960s: Infatable Structures
    (2022) Eryılmaz, Burcu
    In his 1969 project An Experimental Bottery, published in the ninth issue of Archigram, David Greene introduces time as a concept that has had a significant impact on the arts over the past few years, but not so much on architecture. Still, he proposed the temporary space as the example of “an architecture that exists only with reference to time” by pointing out its potential to last in memory. Along this line of thought, this paper aims to make inquiry into the critical examples of temporary architecture to reflect on how they challenge architecture’s long-standing claim to permanence and thus attempt to transform the conventional relationship between architecture and time. To do so, it discusses a selection of inflatable structures that had been produced by such avant-garde architecture collectives as Archigram, Haus-Rucker-Co, and Coop Himmelb(l)au between the late 1960s and early 1970s. Starting from the assumption that these experimental spaces contribute to the expansion of the established boundaries of the discipline as they are situated at the margins of dominating architectural culture, this research provides a ground to argue how inflatable structures turned into a critical medium to reassess architecture’s relation with time during this period which was marked by technological developments and social, political and cultural upheavals.In his 1969 project An Experimental Bottery, published in the ninth issue of Archigram, David Greene introduces time as a concept that has had a significant impact on the arts over the past few years, but not so much on architecture.

    Motivators for Green Buildings: A Review
    (2018) Akreim, Mohamed; Süzer, Özge
    Motivators can be defined as specific catalysts that drive people to act in a certain way. These motivators are important for promoting green buildings and have a clear impact on decision-makers to adopt and implement the green building concept in architectural practice. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review to identify the important motivators for the adoption of green buildings among the stakeholders of the construction industry, the categorization and efficiency of green building motivators, and also the strategies for green building motivators. By reviewing 32 relevant studies conducted in different countries from 2008 to 2017, a total of 26 factors were identified as the main motivators to promote green buildings. These green building motivators were categorized into environmental, economic, and social motivators. With regard to efficiency, it was found that all green building motivators, whether environmental, economic or social are important for promoting green buildings and to determine a priority among these categories was not possible. The strategies for the adoption of green building motivators were also found. It is notable that the government has the greatest role to motivate stakeholders to adopt and implement the green building concept. The literature review of this study has a wide scope, covering most of the countries in the world, including developed and developing countries from the West to East. Hence, unlike most studies on the main issue of this paper that focus on a specific country or region, this in-depth research led to the development of a list of motivators for green buildings, derived from an extensive range of nations, which vary from environmental, economic, and social This paper is expected to provide valuable information for decision-makers in the construction industry, namely, governmental authorities, design teams, and owners of projects regarding what motivate people to help further promote green buildings. The findings may also be useful for researchers to pursue further analyses on similar topics.

    Parametric Design Studio in Interior Architecture Education: A Case of Integration of Colour Design
    (2021) Mutlu Tunca, Gülru; Akbay, Saadet; Demirbaş, Ufuk
    This paper aims to disclose the alternative ways in which the interior architecture students integrate their colour design decisions as one of the main determinants of the project from the beginning of the design process. This revised approach is proposed in the third-year interior design studio course mainly specialises in the parametric design approaches in interior spaces. This paper outlines how colour design is integrated into stages thoroughly in the parametric interior design studio. The main motivation is to maintain a procedure that will make colour design decisions evolve through the whole design process as an integral part of it. This study suggests that producing colour charts from the initial stages of the design process, making colour design decisions for interior environments in 3D visualisations at all stages are critical for improving the student projects and helps them to envision and effectively reflect their atmosphere creations.

    OLED Lighting and Human Circadian System: A Review
    (2021) Avcı, Ayşe Nihan; Akbay, Saadet
    Light is a form of energy that affects the human sleep cycle, working hours, alertness, productivity, and well-being. As one of the most essential environmental factors, lighting requires extensive research to understand the human-environment interaction. Earlier studies reveal that various artificial lighting technologies are utilised to investigate the human circadian system; experiments employing solid state lighting (SSL) sources are still being conducted to determine how the human circadian system is affected. Due to the advantages of OLED lighting, there is a need to enhance the use of this form of artificial lighting in an indoor environment. This paper focuses on a literature review on artificial lighting sources, particularly OLED lighting, which has been used from the past to the present. This paper also discusses how OLED lighting can be utilised to alter the human circadian system in an indoor environment.

    Effects of Colour on the Sense of Immersion in Virtual Interior Environments
    (2021) Gökmenoğlu, Firdevs; Akbay, Saadet
    This paper investigates the effects of colour on the sense of immersion in virtual interior environments. Since colour in interior environments is vital for the perception of place, the three dimensions of colour, namely hue,saturation, and lightness (HSL), were evaluated as elementsfor transferring colour to virtual environments (VEs). In this context, this study aims to investigate how the sense of immersion in virtual interior environments differs depending on hue, saturation, and lightness and examines the extent to which colour dimensions influence the sense of immersion in VEs. For this, the HSL colour space was utilised to establish varying degrees of colours. An online survey was conducted to understand the people’s sense of immersion in different virtual interior settings. The study’s results suggest that perception of colour influences the sense of immersion in virtual environments.

    Cultural Soundscape Evaluation on Re-Functionalized Historical Sites with Adaptive Reuse Approach: Ankara Citadel Case
    (2021) Dökmeci Yörükoğlu, Papatya Nur; Urak, Zehra Gediz; Erçakmak Osma, Uğur Beyza
    Cultural soundscaping is a research field that aims preservation and evaluation of the cultural heritage sites’ sound environments, as they are the intangible values that act as a crucial part of the place identity. Different aspects of sounds’ interaction with humans and places have provided that value of soundscape has become significant in heritage sites. The semantic values hidden in the intricate content of soundscapes within an urban context and their cultural values are in the scope of this study. In this sense, a methodological framework is introduced that is merged from the studies on cultural soundscape that are present in the literature. Accordingly, a pilot study was conducted as a case study based on the presented framework. The old city centre of Ankara, where new functions have been assigned with restoration projects in an adaptive reuse approach, and its heritage value from the perspective of its lost and changed soundscape, especially during and after the restoration were considered. Soundwalks and listening points on the pre-identified routes and semantic sound analysis were conducted as a pilot study in order to evaluate the restoration process during construction and after construction period of the sound environment at Ankara Citadel region. The importance of observing, surveying, managing, and preserving the historic sound environment of such historic heritage sites and its importance for the urban habitual life and society are discussed.
