Use Of Traditional Elements In Contemporary Mosque Architecture In Turkey

Urey, Ozgur 01 October 2010 (has links) (PDF)
This study aims to explore the contemporary mosque architecture in Turkey, through a survey of the selected cases, focusing mainly on the use of traditional elements of mosque architecture. The selected cases are outstanding examples of contemporary mosque architecture in Turkey. Their architects are innovative in their design decisions and displayed their own design approach and interpretation outside the main stream of contemporary mosque design Turkey. In this framework, six mosques for every decade beginning from 1960&rsquo / s are analyzed in terms of their general architectural features and the use of traditional elements of mosque architecture in their design. Throughout the selected cases, the modification of forms and functions are studied and compared with the pre- Modern ones as well as with each other. The changed forms of obsolete elements and the introduction of new elements to their design are also discussed. By this way, a general evaluation regarding the developments and progress in contemporary mosque architecture in Turkey is proposed with reference to comparative results. On this basis, this study demonstrates that the main elements, organization schemes and planning setups of Classical Ottoman Mosque are still preserved in the selected mosque examples. The novelty brought to their design is basically the usage of modern materials and techniques and a formal exploration of mosque architecture.

Everyday Urban Architecture : Urban blocks, building typology, architectural elements; reading into the urban form of Stockholm / Vardaglig stadsmässig arkitektur : Kvartersstruktur, byggnadstypologi, arkitektoniska element; tolkning av Stockholms urbana form

Shylichava, Lizaveta January 2021 (has links)
With the growing role of cities, rapid urbanization, transformation under shifting economic, environmental, social and demographic conditions, the purpose of architecture is changing too. The legacy of the modernist decades left a broken urban fabric of isolated buildings from the urban landscapes of streets, plots, and blocks. In its aftermath, professionals sought to revive the traditional city fabric starting from the block, as the basic element. Although recent developments produce blocks, the livability of streets and other public spaces remains questionable. With a newfound focus into the block, as the fundamental structural element in planning, architectural typologies become the starting point to translate the qualities of urban life. The relationship between two scales, the urban and the architectural, will be examined in this thesis. Architectural elements and typologies have the ability to enhance public life, fostering positive social relations through meaningful design. The following research will explore architecture in Stockholm from the scale of an urban block, to the building typologies, and finally to the modest details within a single building. The fundamental idea is to extract building types and architectural elements that have an impact on the daily life of individuals in the city of Stockholm.

An Architectural Response to Cultural Diversity; The Mosaic: International Student Housing

Ghassemieh, Negar 20 June 2013 (has links)
"We build dwellings that, perhaps, satisfy most of our physical needs, but which do not house our mind."-- Juhani Pallasmaa My architecture thesis began with the question of the relationship and threshold between the realms of public and private and familiar and unfamiliar, while looking particularly in residential spaces. Humans consciously or unconsciously "use" the idea of their "home" environment to express something about themselves. The question that arose from this dialogue captured my attention which led me to explore a deeper meaning of what would be an ideal home for students like myself- ones who were starting a new chapter of their lives by moving to a foreign country. The idea of "Home" as a symbol of ones self, is a set of rituals, personal rhythms and routines of everyday life. The idea of Home cannot be produced all at once; it has a dimension of time and is a gradual product of the family's and individual's adaptation to the world. My thesis project has explored and proposed an architectural response to cultural diversity through student housing for existing Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area universities. The Mosaic is a place to express the personality and define the vessels of memories between individuals and society. / Master of Urban and Regional Planning

Chrámy římsko-keltského typu v Británii / Romano-Celtic temples in Britain

Petrášová, Lucia January 2015 (has links)
This work deals with the Romano-Celtic temples in the Roman province of Britannia in the period from first to fourth century AD. The first chapter describes temple architecture and possible reconstruction of this type of buildings, used materials and the decorative elements of the temples. Attention is also paid to various temples with atypical elements or ground plans, as well as to a separate group of simple temples without surrounding ambulatory. In the following chapters, the work focuses on temple precincts and buildings accompanying this type of temples, and also on the origin and evolution of the temple type, their distribution in the province of Britannia and finally, also to the deities that were worshipped in these Roman-Celtic shrines.

A mesquita de Ibn Tülün como representação da herança arquitetônica árabe: estudo da Mesquita de Ibn Tülün como monumento-síntese das características árabes e das transferências de elementos arquitetônicos entre os povos não árabes / The mosque of Ibn Tülün as a representation of the Arabic architectural heritage: a study of the Mosque of Ibn Tülün as monument-synthesis of arab features and of the transfers of elements architectural among the peoples not arabs

Este trabalho trata de mostrar que nem todos os árabes eram nômades e que mesmo estes desempenharam um importante papel no desenvolvimento social, cultural e artístico da antiguidade pré-islâmica, pois foram eles os responsáveis pela transmissão e conhecimentos existentes na época, e que colocaram em contato os pontos mais distantes desta vasta região. Também os árabes sedentários participaram ativamente do processo político desta área durante o império romano, parta, e mais tarde sassânida e bizantino. A pesquisa acentua o fato da arquitetura do Islão ter sido formada a partir das tradições regionais das populações islamizadas e de sua obediência e entendimento de um livro religioso, o Alcorão, que regulou a sociedade, e em decorrência a sua maneira de ver o mundo e de se relacionar com o espaço e com as expressões artísticas. A análise dos eventos históricos, das técnicas construtivas e dos edifícios da região estudada [os paises do norte da África, e do Oriente Médio (península arábica, crescente fértil, Irã) tratou de demonstrar o desdobramento que teve na construção do edifício escolhido como representativo da arquitetura árabe e que foi o objeto de análise, a mesquita de Ibn Tülün. Além disso, mostra que durante o primeiro período da expansão islâmica, houve uma intensa fusão de culturas. Esta situação fez com que toda esta região sob a expansão mulçumana se comportasse de maneira similar a da Antigüidade, ou seja, como uma ponte onde trafegaram correntes de pensamento e cultura entre os extremos, o Ocidente e o Oriente Médio. Esta foi uma época de intensa urbanização e fundação de novas cidades e é dentro deste processo de fusão de culturas, que as cidades vão se construindo e dentro delas, os seus principais edifícios, no caso da cidade muçulmana, a mesquita. / This work shows that nor all the Arabs were nomadic and even they had played an important role in the social development, cultural and artistic of pre-Islamic antiquity, because they had been responsible for the transmission and knowledge at this time, and that they had put in contact the points most distant of this vast region. Also the sedentary Arabs had participated actively of the politic process of this area during the Roman empire, Parthian, and later Sassanid and Byzantine. The research points out the fact of the Islamic architecture have been formed from the regional traditions of the muslim populations and their obedience and agreement of a religious book, the Quran, that dictated directions for the society, and so its way of seeing the world and dealing with the space and the artistic expressions. The analysis of the historical events, the building techniques of the studied region [the north African countries, and the Middle East (Arabian peninsula, the Fertile Crescent, Iran) it demonstrated the unfolding that it had in the construction of the chosen building as representative of the Arab architecture and it was the analysis object, the Ibn Tülün mosque. Moreover, it shows that during the first moment of the islamic expansion, there had been an intense fusing of cultures. This situation did with this whole area under the Muslim expansion behaved itself in a similar way of the Antiquity, that is, like a bridge where thought and culture crossed from a point to another, the Western and the Middle East. This was a time of intense urbanization and foundation of new cities and it is inside of this process of fusion of cultures, the cities are building and within them, their main building, in the case of the Muslim city, the Mosque.

A formação Serra do Apertado (EOCAMBRIANO, RS) e seu contexto tectônico na evolução do rift Guaritas

Godinho, Lucas Padoan de Sá 20 April 2012 (has links)
O Supergrupo Camaquã constitui uma bacia sedimentar do tipo rifte, localizada na região centro-sul do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, cuja deposição ocorreu entre o Ediacarano e o Eocambriano. Em sua unidade sedimentar mais recente, o Grupo Guaritas, que reúne depósitos fluviais, eólicos e de leques aluviais, foi descoberta recentemente uma nova Formação, denominada Serra do Apertado, que até então não possuía estudos detalhados de fácies e arquitetura deposicional. O início dos estudos a respeito do Grupo Guaritas remonta ao início do século XX, após a descoberta de ocorrências de cobre na região, no entanto são escassas na literatura as informações sobre proveniência sedimentar dessa unidade. O presente estudo se empenhou em aplicar os métodosda análise de fácies e análise de elementos arquitetônicos nos depósitos da Formação Serra do Apertado e Pedra Pintada superior, a fim de interpretar o paleoambiente deposicional dessas unidades e estabelecer critérios descritivos de distinção para a primeira. Também foi aplicado o método da análise de proveniência macroscópica em depósitos conglomeráticos do Grupo Guaritas, a fim de estudarsuas variações composicionais ao longo do tempo e do espaço. Verificou-se que na Formação Serra do Apertado ocorre apenas um tipo de elemento arquitetônico, denominado EL- enchentes em lençóis, que possui geometria tabular, espessura que varia entre2 a 3 m, continuidade lateral de dezenas de metros e associações de fácies que indicam ciclos de aumento e diminuição de vazão, cujo ambiente de deposição foi interpretado como fluvial efêmero. A Formação Pedra Pintada superior apresenta os elementos DB- dunas barcanóides, e IF- interdunas fluviais, que ocorrem intercalados, ambos apresentando espessura de dezenas de metros e continuidade lateral de centenas de metros, sendo interpretados como ambiente de campos de dunas eólicas com interdunas. A análise de proveniência mostrou que no Grupo Guaritas existem depósitos com áreas fonte distais, situadas a norte da bacia,que estão associados a um sistema fluvial longitudinal ao eixo maior da bacia, e depósitos com áreas fonte mais proximais, situadas principalmente a leste, que estão associados a sistemas fluviais transversais e de leques aluviais. A comparação dos dados de composição dos seixos entre as unidades do Grupo Guaritas mostrou que, da base para o topo da sucessão, o sistema fluvial transversal da borda leste da bacia passa de áreas fonte mais distais para mais proximais, caracterizando uma diminuição da área decaptação dos rios sentido a jusante, o que foi interpretado como uma reativaçãoda falha de borda ao tempo da deposição das Formações Varzinha e Pedra Pintada. Ao longo da estratigrafia da Formação Serra do Apertado o conjunto de seixos quartzosos varia de forma inversamente proporcional ao conjunto de seixos nãoquartzosos. Como não foi verificado um controle da distância da área fonte nesse tipo de variação, e como o principal fator que a comanda é a composição dos seixos, foi interpretado que isso se deve a variações climáticas, onde climas mais áridos correspondem ao predomínio de seixos não quartzosos nos depósitos, e climas mais úmidos ao predomínio de seixos quartzosos. / The Camaquã Supergroup constitutes a rift stile sedimentary basin, located in the central-south region of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, which deposition occured between the Ediacaran and the Eocambrian. In it´s younger unit, the Guaritas Group, composed of fluvial, eolian and aluvial fan deposits, a new Formation was recently discovered, named Serra do Apertado, which until then hadn´t detailed studies about facies analyses and architectural elements. The initial studies about the Guaritas Group go back to the beginning of the 20th century, afterthe discovery of copper occurences in that region, but references about sedimentary provenance of this unit are scarce in the literature. The present study was engaged on applying the facies and architectural elements analysis methods in the Serra do Apertado and superior Pedra Pintada Formations, in order to interpret the depositional palaeoenvironment of those units and establish descriptive distinction criteria to the first one. The method of macroscopic provenance analysis was also applied in conglomeratic deposits of the Guaritas Group, in order to study it´s compositional variations through time and space. Was verified that in the Serra do Apertado Formation occurs only one type ofarchitectural element, named EL - sheet floods, which have tabular geometry, thickness varying between 2 and 3 m, lateral continuity of dozens of meters and facies associations that indicates cicles of raising and waning flow, which depositional environment was interpreted as efemeral rivers. The superior Pedra Pintada Formation presents the elements DB- barcanoid dunes, and IF- fluvial interdunes, that occurs intercalated, both presenting thickness of dozens of meters and lateral continuity of hundredsof meters, being interpreted as aeolian dune fields with interdunes. The provenance analysis shown that in the Guaritas Group exists deposits with distal source areas to the north of the basin, thatare associated with a fluvial system paralel to the longest basin axis, and deposits with more proximal sources mainly to the east, that are associated with transversal fluvial systems and aluvial fans. The comparison of pebble compositional data between the Guaritas Group units shown that, from the base to the top of the succession, the basin´s east border transversal fluvial system passes from more distal source areas to moreproximal, characterizing a downstream diminution on the river´s catchment area, that was interpretated as a reactivation of the border fault by the time of thedeposition of the Varzinha and Pedra Pintada Formations. Along the stratigrafy of the Serra do Apertado Formation, the group of quartzose pebbles varies in an inversely proportional way in relation to the non quartzose pebble group. As it wasn´t verified a source area distance control in this kind of variation, and as the main factor that comands it is the pebble´s composition, it was interpreted that this is due to climatic variations, where more arid climates correspond to the prevalence of non quartzose pebbles in the deposits, and more humid climates to the prevalence of quartzose pebbles.

By intervening in the envelope, with the proposal of specific architectural elements, it is possible to promote the use of passive strategies of conditioning, such as natural ventilation. The cross ventilation is recommended by the NBR 15220-3 as the bioclimatic main strategy for the hot and humid climate of Natal/RN, offering among other benefits, the thermal comfort of occupants. The analysis tools of natural ventilation, on the other hand, cover a variety of techniques, from the simplified calculation methods to computer fluid dynamics, whose limitations are discussed in several papers, but without detailing the problems encountered. In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the potential of wind catchers, envelope elements used to increase natural ventilation in the building, through CFD simplified simulation. Moreover, it seeks to quantify the limitations encountered during the analysis. For this, the procedure adopted to evaluate the elements implementation and efficiency was the CFD simulation, abbreviation for Computer Fluid Dynamics, with the software DesignBuilder CFD. It was defined a base case, where wind catchers were added with various settings, to compare them with each other and appreciate the differences in flows and air speeds encountered. Initially there has been done sensitivity tests for familiarization with the software and observe simulation patterns, mapping the settings used and simulation time for each case simulated. The results show the limitations encountered during the simulation process, as well as an overview of the efficiency and potential of wind catchers, with the increase of ventilation with the use of catchers, differences in air flow patterns and significant increase in air speeds indoors, besides changes found due to different element geometries. It is considered that the software used can help designers during preliminary analysis in the early stages of design / A envolt?ria da edifica??o consiste no principal meio de intera??o entre ambiente e exterior, com influ?ncia direta no desempenho t?rmico e energ?tico do edif?cio.

A ventila??o cruzada ? recomendada pela NBR 15220-3 como principal estrat?gia bioclim?tica para o clima quente e ?mido de Natal/RN, oferecendo dentre outros benef?cios, o conforto t?rmico dos ocupantes. As ferramentas de an?lise da ventila??o natural, por sua vez, abrangem diversas t?cnicas, desde m?todos de c?lculos simplificados a simula??es computacionais de fluidos, cujas limita??es s?o discutidas em diversos trabalhos, por?m sem detalhamento dos problemas encontrados. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho tem objetivo de avaliar o potencial dos captadores de vento, elementos de envolt?ria aplicados para incremento da ventila??o natural na edifica??o, atrav?s de simula??o simplificada em CFD. Al?m disto, busca quantificar as limita??es encontradas durante as an?lises. Para tanto, o procedimento adotado para avaliar a aplica??o e efici?ncia dos elementos foi a simula??o computacional em CFD, sigla em ingl?s para Computer Fluid Dynamics, no software DesignBuilder CFD. Foi definido um caso base, onde se acrescentaram captadores de vento com diversas configura??es, para compar?-los entre si e avaliar as diferen?as no fluxo e velocidades do ar encontradas. Inicialmente deu-se prosseguimento a testes de sensibilidade para familiariza??o com o software e observar padr?es de simula??o, com mapeamento das configura??es utilizadas e tempo de simula??o de cada caso simulado. Os resultados mostram as limita??es encontradas durante o processo de simula??o, assim como um panorama da efici?ncia e do potencial dos captadores de vento, com o incremento da ventila??o com a utiliza??o dos captadores, diferen?as nos padr?es de fluxo de ar e aumento consider?vel das velocidades do ar no interior do ambiente, al?m de altera??es encontradas em fun??o das diferentes geometrias do elemento. Considera-se que o software utilizado pode auxiliar projetistas durante an?lises preliminares em fases iniciais do projeto

Sandhagen 2 : A project about reusing materials as a way to rethink how architecture can be produced.

McDavitt Wallin, Frida January 2020 (has links)
In 2020, the meatpacking district of Stockholm (Slakthusområdet) is at the beginning of a period of change. A lot of its buildings are being demolished, or at least gutted, to transform a historical area of industry into a more urban district of housing, offices, trade, and services along with new parks and squares (Stockholms Stad, 2020). This thesis project is specifically about the first building that was torn down as part of the development of the area, Sandhagen 2. We should consider our condemned buildings a precious resource and extract from them rather than from the earth. In every house there is invested energy which is lost the day it is demolished but there is also something else that is lost other than precious resources. The research aims to highlight the importance of reuse not from the more obvious sustainability point of view, but as something that can be aesthetically motivated. The method involves a dissection of Sandhagen 2, extracting interior architectural elements without excessive alterations, and making an organized taxonomy. The taxonomy is then rearranged into a new spatial composition. How can a space be created from a taxonomy defined by an interior architect? How does a material’s earlier life add or take away potential in its future life?  The proposal is a strange space where the tension created by reuse is completely between the elements themselves, a result of having to become the conventional parts of architecture that complete a space; steps, something to sit on, floor, partitions.
