This study presents a comparative analysis of post-earthquake recovery governance in Türkiye and Japan, focusing on the 1999 Kocaeli, 2011 Tōhoku, and 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. Employing qualitative document analysis and cross-case timeline mapping, it e…

This study offers a comparative analysis of construction risk management practices in the United Kingdom (UK) and Türkiye, focusing on regulatory frameworks, technological integration, and practical methodologies. The UK, utilizing the Construction (Design and…

This study presents a comprehensive overview of biophilic design research that incorporates ecological considerations, specifically focusing on energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and sustainability. While biophilic design has traditionally emphasized human we…

Heritage restoration projects face numerous challenges, including the preservation of historical accuracy, effective stakeholder collaboration, and maintaining transparent records of interventions. This paper proposes a theoretical framework that integrates Bu…

Stone arches have been among the important structures in architecture and engineering throughout history. However, they can be damaged over time due to environmental impacts, conditions of use and natural disasters. Therefore, modern strengthening methods are …

Cities consume over two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70% of global CO₂ emissions. Given these negative impacts, cities are major contributors to climate change, one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. As dynamic organ…

This study presents a Hybrid Digital-Physical Risk Management Framework designed to enhance urban climate resilience through the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies. By combining real-time IoT sensor networks, AI-based predictive analytics, and blockchain…

Courtyards hold significant functional value in both traditional and contemporary architecture. They serve as open-air spaces that facilitate social interaction for users within urban environments. In order for these spaces to be utilized more efficiently by u…

This paper examines the development of sustainable architectural design strategies in office buildings from 1970 to the present. Drawing on literature, policies, and historical examples, it traces the transformation of sustainability from a loosely defined env…

This paper explores the role of archival study in exploring site integrity within the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) framework, using the case of Islamic heritage sites in Java, Indonesia. In contexts where material traces have been lost or obscured, archival …

This study investigates the return on investment (ROI) of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry and addresses common barriers to its adoption such as high start-up costs and lack of familiarity with the technology. Despite its prove…

The rapid growth of city populations and the increasing complexity of managing city infrastructure have led to the emergence of smart cities, which rely on advanced technologies to optimise urban services. However, one of the key challenges facing smart cities…

Bu çalışma, kadın dostu kent yaklaşımı çerçevesinde kent parklarının toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği odaklı bir bakışla değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Kentte kadınların kamusal mekânları kullanım biçimleri, yaşadıkları sorunlar ve mekânsal beklentileri üzerin…

This paper explores the transformative role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in enhancing stakeholder engagement in transportation infrastructure projects. Drawing on literature, real-world case studies, and survey results from 32 stakeholders, the rese…

Few ancient structures inspire spiritual reverence and architectural awe like the Roman Pantheon. Designed as a temple and a cosmological instrument, the Pantheon depicts how Roman architects transformed daylight into a divine symbol. This paper examines the s…

This study proposes a climate-adaptive framework for modular micro-living units as a construction-based response to growing urban challenges related to climate resilience, densification, and housing affordability. The design integrates prefabricated cross-lami…

Bu çalışma, afet risk algısının kırılgan gruplar üzerindeki belirleyici etkilerini irdeleyerek, toplumsal eşitsizliklerin afet yönetimi süreçlerindeki rolünü görünür kılmayı amaçlamaktadır. Nitel içerik analizine dayalı olarak yürütülen araştırmada, kadınlar, …

Understanding pedestrian perception is essential for designing walkable and inclusive urban environments. This study employs real-world eye-tracking to investigate how pedestrians visually engage with urban streetscapes during everyday navigation. Using wearab…

Küresel ölçekte hızla artan kentleşme, doğal ekosistemlerin parçalanmasına ve kent içi yeşil alanların azalmasına yol açarak hem çevresel hem de sosyal sürdürülebilirlik açısından ciddi sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Özellikle küçük ölçekte planlanmamış kentsel b…

Sanayileşme, insan yaşamına pek çok alanda konfor ve kolaylıklar kazandırmıştır. Ancak bu sürecin tetiklediği seri üretim ve tüketim alışkanlıkları, çevresel tahribatın yanı sıra sosyal eşitsizlikleri de beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu durum, günümüz dünyasında sü…
