To examine the constituents of an effective e-Learning experience in education, evaluation themes were formulated as overall substitutability level, cognitive performance, social interaction and engagement, student comprehension and comfort, personal preference, and learners’ satisfaction. Through literature survey and review of mostly referred factors affecting e-Learning efficiency, four dimensions were designated for further elaboration in this study: (i) course characteristics, (ii) participant characteristics, (iii) e-Learning environment, and (iv) prior acquaintance, with each category including several sub-measures. Survey method was employed and a questionnaire was administered to 122 architecture students at both undergraduate and graduate levels to investigate participan...

In this respect, adaptive reuse is seen as one of the appropriate methods to conserve and supply their continuous use. In adaptive reuse process, there are some risks and uncertainties because of different parameters like the requirements about conservation of the building and about the new function, time, budget, etc. It is possible to alleviate them by examining existing reused examples adapted to a similar function and reviewing possible different reuse strategies and interventions suitable for the characteristics of the building to be reused together with their outcomes. Hereof, it is aimed to develop a database to be used as a guiding tool while scrutinizing a building to be reused, a new function and interventions, and thus help minimizing the possible risks and uncertainties. To provide information to this database, a systematic approach was developed to assess the relationship between new function and the interventions made for reuse. The approach and possible uses of the database in this process are explained through seven reused industrial facilities in Turkey adapted from food and textile production to assembly and education facilities.

In Turkey, residential buildings are mostly built with in-situ reinforced concrete structural frame and infill external walls made of lightweight masonry such as autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), pumice aggregate concrete hollow blocks and fired clay hollow bricks. In the paper, information gathered through field investigations on extraction of natural resources, processing of raw materials and manufacturing processes are given for AAC, pumice concrete blocks and fired clay hollow bricks and the obtained data is evaluated comparatively in terms of environmental sustainability issues such as resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste generation etc.

As a brief definition; architectural technology is a link between conceptual design and production which translates design intent into physical reality. Therefore one of the main goals of an architect is to increase the role of the technology in architectural design by linking these technologies to human experience through the material forms they represent and by bringing to an understanding of the technology in the process. The role of technology in architectural design is that, architectural technology is the way which human beings create metaphorical ideas that place them in nature through the manipulation of habitable form that redirects natural force. Moreover, this approach has to involve the treatment of space as a matter, and a move away from the creation of...

Some of the durability problems of ceramic facades are joint failures, delamination and efflorescence, and one of the reasons of this kind of problems is water/moisture caused by condensation, rising damp or precipitation. Infrared (IR) thermography is a well developed non-destructive examination technique in terms of detecting thermal and air infiltration problems, and the environmental inspection conditions are well studied. Inspection of moisture problems using IR thermography is a comparatively new field, and most of the studies either focus on applications on historical buildings or investigate the applicability on different materials in laboratory conditions. Environmental factors affecting in-situ thermographic inspection of moisture problems of different building technologies are not well studied yet. In-situ inspection of adhered ceramic facades to detect presence of moisture before the occurrence of any visible signs is a possible accomplishment of IR thermography.

While research studies on the adoption of these facade product innovations are comparatively limited in number. An awareness of the advantages and impacts that a product innovation brings is critical in its adoption, and therefore the purpose of this paper is to develop a classification framework for the use of producers/vendors present the advantages and impacts of their innovative facade products to the architects.Design/methodology/approachThe study, in addition to literature review, consisted of four main steps without distinct boundaries, namely, (1) case study sample selection regarding facade products, (2) data collection through review of published documents, analysis of the data via content analysis and generation of a preliminary framework for the evaluation of facade product innovations, (3) further data co...

Hence investigating these impacts and developing some measures are necessary to create a sustainable built environment. This issue is examined in a research project, which is being conducted to develop a sustainable building assessment method and sustainable renovation techniques for existing residential stock in Istanbul. To determine representative building types, field surveys were conducted, and the projects provided from the associated municipalities were analyzed. This study intends to investigate the effect of facade variations on post-construction period environmental sustainability of some determined building types. According to the results, the increase in the WWR slightly decreases the heating energy consumption, and consecutively the environmental impacts in the thermally not-insulated buildings, while it increases the heating energy consumption, and consecutively the environmental impacts in the thermally insulated buildings. Using thermal insulation, in both types of buildings, in all WWR's and orientations, is considerably effective for reducing both energy consumption and environmental impacts. Global warming potential (GWP) constitutes most of the environmental impacts resulting from building's heating energy consumption. Human toxicity, acidification, eutrophication and photochemical oxidation potentials are in negligible amounts when compared to GWP.

However, in the 1960-70s, conservation of these facilities gained importance since they reflect their periods’ characteristics. In this context, reuse is seen as one of the suitable methods both to protect their knowledge and to ensure continuous use and maintenance.

During the reuse process, interventions can be made to eliminate the defects and previous interventions, and to fulfil spatial and physical requirements of the selected new function and users. Through these purposes, interventions are made at the scales of building, element, and component. Within the scope of a master study, interventions made in the reuse process of 15 industrial facilities in Turkey were examined in these scales and their relations with the selected function were evaluated. In this paper, seven of these facilities and their 16 blocks adapted from ‘food, beverages and tobacco manufacture’ and ‘water works and supply’ to cultural centre, museum, and education functions are considered to examine component scale interventions. Relatedly, interventions collected from restitution, survey, and restoration projects and reports are evaluated under (i) maintenance and repair, (ii) consolidation and strengthening, (iii) to meet performance requirement, and (iv) other interventions categories by associating with too.

Analyses showed that the frequency of these interventions categories decreases in the given order in these case blocks. Since all blocks have registration and masonry structural external wall, maintenance and repair interventions gain importance to repair defects and turn blocks their original state, but interventions to meet new function’s performance requirements are less due to a thick external wall. The elements and components where the interventions were mostly implemented are the roof and masonry structural external wall, and core and finishing layers, respectively, which are open to climatic conditions.

Especially by the industrial revolution in 19th century, the number of industrial buildings increased parallel with mechanization but in time, these buildings and/or equipment became dysfunctional. In the world after 1950s, these kinds of industrial buildings, which remain idle but historically important as they reflect their period’s characteristics have become a subject of concern. In Turkey, starting from Ottoman era numerous industrial buildings were also constructed; especially between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Like the case in the world, idle industrial buildings, became a concern in Turkey as well and different functions were selected, when adaptive reuse strategy was preferred.

Within the context of a master study, interventions on building structural system and building elements that were made for implementing new function to existing industrial buildings, are being investigated to reveal their relationship with selected function. In this regard, comparative analyses on case buildings are being performed on survey, restitution and restoration projects to determine and discuss the type, magnitude and reason of interventions, (i.e. either to restore the original or to adapt to new function’s requirements). In this context, in the paper, comparative analyses performed on four historically listed industrial facilities are presented. The facilities were selected considering the commonality of their original and new functions among reuse cases in Turkey. All facilities were originally for food, beverage and/or tobacco production, and two of them were converted into cultural centre, while the remaining were adapted as education building. Analyses showed that the main aim in the reuse projects of these buildings was restoring their original state with minimal interventions as possible for adapting to new function. Besides others, the most remarkable changes that were made for adaptive reuse were in the circulation system and internal walls, almost regardless of new function. Although interactions between the magnitude of interventions and the selected functions were observed to be present, this magnitude had been also affected from other issues, such as the limitations of the structural system type, previous interventions, size of the facility, etc.
