    READING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIME AND SPACE IN THE FILM CLOUD ATLAS
    (MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIV, 2018) Erdogan, Ebru; Yildiz, Zeynep
    There is an interaction between architecture and cinema thanks to their cooperation of making temporal and spatial design. Science fiction is the type of cinema that includes this interaction in its most intense level and has similar concerns to the process of creating time and place in architecture. The film, "Cloud Atlas" (2012), has been chosen as a case in this study. This is because the film highlights the interaction between architecture and cinema by different approaches to time and place (six separate and independent plots), alternative fictional techniques and a postmodern quality, all of which give the film a multi-dimensional perspective. The interaction between cinema and architecture was examined using deductive methodology, based on the analysis of temporal and spatial concepts. Initially, this study examined the concepts of time and place as well as the paradoxical relation between them regarding the historical process. Then, this study analyzed the film, Cloud Atlas, mentioning current problems of time and space. Given the locations included in the film, this study re-interpreted the handling of these problems in cinema and particularly in science-fiction, which has a strong interaction with time and place. The relations that cinema builds with architecture based on the concepts of time and place was also reinterpreted. Time, place, non-place, timelessness, moments and memories, existential space, transitions in time (splitting, time warps and flashbacks) are the concepts that were interpreted and exemplified in the study. Among them, transitions in time was the most fundamental concept that shattered the common time and space perceptions of the audience. It is also observed that this concept, which enhanced the diversity and quality of locations and handled time multi-dimensionally, explained the problems of the postmodern age to audience through the film and created an awareness.

    A STUDY OF ARCHITECTS' UNDERSTANDING OF LAYPERSONS' LANGUAGE; SIMILARITY of ARCHITECT and LAYPERSON
    (MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIV, 2015) Ozbudak Akca, Y. Berivan; Erdogan, Ebru; Akalin, Aysu
    This study discusses connotative meaning, which is a design input, and how it is understood by architects and laypersons. The study also examines layperson's value judgments and the factors that influence them. Studies of architects and laypersons have mainly attempted to acquire information from laypeople so that architects can use it to estimate their opinions. If architects know how connotative meanings affect laypersons, they can make better design decisions. For all these reasons, the author examined the opinions about connotative meanings between freshmen and seniors in the department of architecture and architects. The author also analyzed whether the architects comprehend the desires and likes of lay people. The primary hypothesis of the study is that architects and laypersons will make the same interpretations if the image overlaps the meaning. This study aims to find clues regarding shared opinions between designers and laypersons about connotative meanings. The experimental study in this paper mainly aims to determine which cognitive concepts are overlapped with which physical components by participants from the groups. Accordingly, the study aims to determine whether the meaning implied by the designer is recognized by laypeople, whether they comprehend it or not if they recognize it, whether they make the same interpretation as the designer and finally, whether they like it. Another aim of the study is to describe the extent to which laypeople differ among themselves and with architects. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the author identified the differences and similarities between the groups. Then buildings that overlapped the image and the meaning and data related to those images were collected. In the second phase, the author tried to find shared interpretations about overlapping images and meanings for the overlapping images and their data. The survey was done with the participation of four different groups: 40 freshmen in the department of architecture who were regarded as layperson, 40 seniors in the department of architecture, 40 academic architects and 8 independent judges. The author used 40 images to conduct the experimental study. The styles and functions of these images differ, and they were selected based on whether they had the components in the architectural components list. The author used the Lens Model to access the physical components through cognitive features and also to demonstrate the differences and similarities between architects and non-architects. The author asked the three groups of participants about the cognitive features and asked the group of independent judges about the physical components. Each group's evaluations of general aesthetics regarding the images were correlated with five cognitive features (functional connotation, connotation of meaning, complexity, familiarity and getting impressed). Then, the Pearson Correlation, the two groups' degrees of participation, was calculated regarding 20 buildings based on their cognitive features. Finally, the author determined to what extent the two groups agreed with each other about the general aesthetics of the buildings. One of the study's findings indicates that there are common interpretations between the groups. This is very significant since it identifies a cognitive concept common to the two groups for the first time and identifies the physical components that generate this cognitive concept. In this respect, this study is a foundation for further national and international research in this area. Designers should be informed about users' perception and interpretation of the buildings they design. They also should do so in their professional education. It is important that students of architecture are given the chance to make designs in design studios and are trained to understand common people. This is an important issue since it will provide data regarding design inputs. If the curriculum of studio lessons is organized to focus on these points, future generations will be more conscious and sensitive to environmental issues, and they will also be able to do user-centered design.

    URBAN AESTHETICS; VISUAL QUALITY EVALUATION OF "KONYA TURBEONU" THE HISTORICAL URBAN SQUARE
    (OPEN HOUSE INT, 2016) Erdogan, Ebru
    Konya developed as a city with a single centre in historical period, the mound (hoyijk) known as Alaeddin's Hill. This is still the central feature of the urban settlement of Konya. The tomb of the great humanist, poet and philosopher, Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumii, is also here. The most prestigious section of Konya during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods was the Konya Torbeonu, the space in front of his tomb. The historical city centre maintains its liveliness in the area between Alaeddin's Hill and the tomb of Mevlana. This historical city centre is the most accessible area in the city and functions fully as such while bearing its historical identity. The transformation of Konya from single -centred city to multi -centred city resulted in considerable changes in the city's silhouette. The Konya Turbeonu Square was redesigned and presented for use. While defining the effect of outdoor spaces on human life, they are evaluated as places that meet basic physical, social and psychological requirements. Since the planning process of the Konya Turbeonu Square was not participative, it has remained a focal point of intense discussions and debates about its meeting users' needs have arisen. This article studies user satisfaction with the design of the Konya Turbeonu Square and investigates the effects of changes on users. The study survey, asked for demographical information about the users, the sensorial effects of the outdoor space, the effects of its landscape and general satisfaction. The questionnaire was administered to 300 people, including 100 architects who are educated in designing, shopkeepers who are interaction with this area everyday and laypersons. Evaluating the questionnaire data revealed the physical landscape quality and the behavioural and functional qualities of the users along with the visual qualities of the historical urban square's former/older condition. This study aims to show how participative planning can improve future projects.
