Visual Effect of Modern Buildings on a Traditional Japanese Garden

Even though heritage gardens have been preserved successfully in Japan, these gardens, especially the ones in Tokyo, have been surrounded by modern high-rise buildings that have entered the scenery of the gardens dramatically. This situation has become an issue from the perspective of cultural heritage preservation. This paper aimed to define the effect of modern buildings on a Japanese heritage garden called Hama-rikyu Gardens in the context of user perception by a questionnaire on site. Results indicated that the modern buildings should be eliminated from the scenery of the garden in the future since the participants preferred unspoiled views. eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018. The Authors.

Preferences for Doors of Vernacular Structures: The Case Study of Kaleici

This study aims to find choices and a significant indicator which changes preferences of the doors of traditional Structures. Within the scope of this study, we investigated how the preference of entries, which is a transition interface between the urban space and structures, is affected by determined variables. As a result of the regression analysis, the results showed that the critical variables that are preferred, invite a degree of mystery by the existing literature. However, unlike the research literature, the result shows that complexity is not adversely predictive or useful in liking in the selected case study. It has been found that the preferred doors and entrance interfaces have natural materials, harmonious colors, vernacular architectural features, and common structural elements such as steps and eaves.Keywords: Doors, Vernacular Structures, KaleicieISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

Evaluation of outdoor furniture designs in Antalya-Konyaaltı parks with regard to users’ preferences

Antalya kenti son on yılda turizm yatırımlarından kaynaklan nüfus artışı ile birlikte kentleşme konusunda yaşanan hızlı gelişimle bir dünya kenti olmuştur. Bu hızlı gelişim beraberinde yoğun bir kentleşme olgusunun yaşanmasına yol açmıştır. Batıya doğru kentleşmenin sonucunda ortaya çıkan yeni yerleşimlerden biri olan Konyaaltı ilçesi doğal güzellikleriyle olduğu kadar, yeni yapıları ve park alanları ile dikkat çekmektedir. Parkların vazgeçilmez ögelerinden olan donatı elemanları, faydaları ve estetik özellikleriyle bir parkın çehresini değiştirebilmektedir. Diğer taraftan donatı elemanlarının kullanıcılarla çeşitli yönlerden sürekli etkileşim halinde olduğu bir gerçektir. Bu çalışmada da Konyaaltı yerleşimi sınırları içerisinde bulunan parklarda kullanılan donatı elemanlarının, kullanıcı memnuniyeti, yapılan anketlerle saptanmaya çalışılmıştır. Anket sonuçları ışığında donatı elemanlarının parklara olan olumlu ve olumsuz katkıları belirlenmeye çalışılarak, mevcut durumun daha iyi olabilmesi konusunda öneriler getirilmiştir.Antalya has become a world known city with the rapid development in the recent years. This rapid development brings a lot of problems like density of the population and building areas. Because of this rapid development, suburban areas become urban areas such as Konyaaltı which is most significant town with its new buildings and park areas. The park furniture can be change the view of the park with its function and esthetic properties. At the other hand, it is accepted that the park furniture always interaction with user many kinds of way. In this research it is determine that the satisfaction of user from the park furniture which are in the Konyaaltı’s parks by the way of the public survey. It is tried to define their positive or negative aid to that parks. And the last it is tried to bring some offer for to remediation of the current situatio

Supporting Theoretical Courses through Application

Ecological crises have affected the architecture discipline, and different techniques, technologies, and design approaches have flourished. A theory about the effect of ecology on architectural design, formulated as ecological design, and its education has started in institutes. However, it is important that the practice of architecture is reflected through theoretical knowledge in its outputs, and the discipline is conscious about its theoretical knowledge when designing a building, including how much can be understood in the concrete project. This study tries to discern the role of theoretical knowledge in practice and in final projects in the context of ecological design by estimating masters students’ experiences, perceptions, and attitudes. The research method of this study is a qualitative approach, and in-depth interviews have been done with masters-level students. The results of this study showed that the theoretical knowledge given in the lectures could change the opinions of a designer regarding ecological design. Based on the results, ecological design courses can increase the popularity of ecological building design strategies, which offers potential for more sustainable living environments and more environmentally friendly buildings, and their spread into human environments

An empirical research study on prospect–refuge theory and the effect of high-rise buildings in a Japanese garden setting

Abstract This study was carried out to test prospect–refuge theory and the effect of external high-rise buildings on landscape preferences in a traditional Japanese daimyo (feudal lords) garden, namely, the Hama-rikyu Gardens located in Tokyo, Japan. Eight sites in the garden were selected to be tested with respect to their degree of openness, their degree of safety, and the ratio of background buildings present. An in situ survey was conducted with 129 people (15–18 per site) who agreed to take part in the survey. Subjects were asked to assess the view at each site in the direction indicated by a sign and to provide responses about (a) their general preference for the view, (b) their perception of the openness of the view, (c) their perception of the safety of the site, (d) their perception of the pleasantness of/disturbance from the background buildings. The results indicated that predefined open-protected sites were more preferred than the others; prospect (perceived openness) was an important indicator of the preferences, whereas the refuge-related symbols (perceived safety) of the garden were not perceived differently between the sites; the ratio of background buildings did not have a significant effect on either landscape preferences or perceived prospect–refuge attributes, whereas the perceived pleasantness of/disturbance from background buildings significantly affected the overall landscape preferences. The results indicated that the design techniques of Japanese daimyo gardens, including the usage of the Shakkei (borrowed scenery) technique, might reveal the principles of prospect–refuge theory. Furthermore, the effect of the surrounding buildings is considered to be a subjective aspect that depends on observers’ experiences and attitudes, rather than an objective one

XXI. PEYZAJ MİMARLIĞI AKADEMİK TOPLULUĞU TOPLANTISI ÇALIŞMA SONUÇLARI

Kıyı alanları insan yaşamı ve yerleşmeleri açısından vazgeçilmez alanlardır. Tarihsel süreç içinde insanlar yerleşmek üzere genellikle kıyı alanlarını tercih etmişlerdir. Bu durum bu şekilde gerçekleşmesinin en önemli nedenlari arasında, kıyı alanlarının sunduğu çok sayıda fırsatın yer aldığını söylemek mümkündür. Günümüzde kıyı alanları, yeryüzündeki en hızlı değişime uğrayan alanlar arasındadır. Bu alanlar son yıllarda sosyal, ekonomik, turistik, estetik ve sağlık yönünden olduğu kadar, politik açıdan da tüm dünya ülkelerinde önem kazanmış; üzerinde ülkesel ve küresel tartışmaların sürdürüldüğü, sorunlara ortak çözüm arandığı güncel bir konu haline gelmiştir. Çünkü küresel ölçekte kıyı alanlarına bir nüfus yönelimi söz konusudur. Bu da kıyı kaynakları üzerindeki baskıları artırmaktadır. Sürekli artan nüfusu ile peyzajı şekillendiren en önemli faktörlerden biri olan insanın, kıyı kaynakları üzerindeki beklentileri hızla çeşitlenmiş ve bu da kıyı alanlarında değişimlere neden olmuştur. Kıyı alanlarındaki değişim, insanların fi ziksel ihtiyaçlarının dışında, rekreasyonel ve turizm ihtiyaçlarının da karşılanması amacıyla hız kazanmakta ve sonuç olarak bu alanlarda yer yer onarılması güç çevre sorunları oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile Van kent merkezi yakınındaki kıyı alanı için sürdürülebilir kıyı turizmi ve rekreasyonuna yönelik önerilerin geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Van Kenti ve yakın çevresindeki kıyı alanının turizm ve rekreasyon potansiyeli incelenerek, alanın sürdürülebilirliğine yönelik öneriler getirilecektir. Öneriler, kıyı alanının toplumsal işlevlerinin iyileştirilmesi ve sürdürülebilir yönetimine yönelik olacaktır. Çalışmada ayrıca peyzaj planlama, peyzaj tasarımı ve kıyı alanları yönetimi çerçevesinde, kıyıdaki mevcut ve geçmişten gelen kullanım ve yönetim sorunlarının çözümüne ve alanın geleceğine yönelik stratejiler geliştirilecektir
