    A study on audio-visual representation and thinking for designing acoustic environments
    (International Commission for Acoustics (ICA), 2022) Şentop Dümen, A.; Koyaz, M.
    Sound conveys information about spatial characteristics, supports development of a multi-sensory cognitive model, enforces the identity, and steers users' actions and emotions. Although building acoustics courses provide the basic knowledge of acoustics, students encounter difficulties on identifying the design potentials of the acoustic environment and transferring the obtained knowledge into architectural design. This points to the necessity of embracing novel aural techniques in design studies and acoustic education. This study aims to reinterpret conventional design steps from soundscape perspective and apply representation techniques to deal with sound's intangibility. A 10-days workshop was conducted in Istanbul Bilgi University with 25 students, where majority were in the 1st year of architectural education and had little/no knowledge on acoustics. The theoretical background was initially introduced to the students during a training soundwalk, followed by seminars and discussions. In the second phase, a selected route was visited and analysed with soundscape assessment forms, recordings and through developed representation techniques: 'soundscape infographic', 'sound collage (sound-editing)', and 'abstract (physical) sound model'. Based on the analysis, students proposed design interventions for the selected locations. The results showed that students not only developed an environmental control attitude but also acknowledged sounds' potentials in design. © ICA 2022.All rights reserved

    Towards a Human Centred Approach for Adaptive Façades An Overview of User Experiences in Work Environments
    (TU Delft, 2022) Koyaz, M.; Prieto, A.; Ünlü, A.; Knaack, U.
    Adaptive façades are multifunctional systems that are able to change their functions, features, or behaviour over time in response to changing boundary conditions or performance requirements. As one of the significant developments in the façade industry over the last decade, the adaptive façade offers an intelligent solution that can decrease energy consumption and potentially increase users’ comfort in a building. From an engineering perspective, these advanced technologies aim to improve the overall performance of the building while generating a better indoor environment for the users, but unfortunately, investigations show that this goal is not always achieved. This is why, to bridge this performance gap, we embark on a change of perspective in façade design, from a technology-centred to a human-centred one. This research emphasizes that, with their changeability aspects, adaptive façade technologies offer unique potential, although the design of such façades requires a deeper understanding of users. With this as its focus, this paper aims to identify the factors affecting the user experience in a working environment, considering the interactions of the user with building services and façade systems from a holistic point of view, in which façade-user relationships are to be distinguished, towards the larger aim of developing a human-centred approach for adaptive façade design. © 2022 TU Delft.
