    Aesthetic differences between freshmen and Pre-architects
    (2010) Erdogan E.; Akalin A.; Yildirim K.; Erdogan H.A.
    This paper demonstrates how architectural representations can be used to identify both differences and commonalities in the way first-year architecture students - as freshmen - and fourth-year architecture students - as pre-architects - perceive the discipline of architecture. It is believed that, depending on the subjects' level of learning, the meaning given to architectural appearances can differ. Using multiple sorting techniques, respondents were asked to sort 21 examples of contemporary architecture according to their own criteria. The multi-dimensional scaling analysis has shown that both the freshmen and the pre-architects were homogeneous in their thinking, showing high inter-individual agreement within the group. However, some individuals in the freshman group were closer to those of pre-architects than other freshmen. By indicating the possibility of having students who are more interested than their classmates, the research points out the risk of treating first year students as strictly unknowledgeable laypersons.

    URBAN CODES: Familiarity, impressiveness, complexity and liking in façades of houses
    (2013) Erdo?an E.; Binici S.; Akalin A.; Yildirim K.
    This study aims to see the local residents of Kahramanmaras who are not in the design profession, to know how they find connotative meanings in house styles concerning different cultures and to see how these meanings differ according to socio-demographic qualities. It is hypothesized that foreign examples would be preferred as a 'social status' indication compare to the domestic ones which might be considered as 'warm'. Regarding this, a total of 102 respondents, composed of middle- aged people (25 female, 26 male) and students (25 female, 26 male) have evaluated the façades of 12 houses through using five-point semantic differential scales under four headings: Familiarity, Impressiveness, Complexity and Liking. The results have shown that different styles with different forms, elements and materials have been evaluated differently by the respondent groups. While the most impressive foreign vernacular examples were defined as the 'social status' indication, the most familiar local vernacular examples were indicated as the 'warmest' house façades. Amongst these results, it was also noted that the students appreciated the foreign vernacular examples and found them attractive than the middle age respondents.
