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…

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…

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…

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 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 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…

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 research formulates guidelines for documenting stone building element production in contemporary crafting technologies, focusing on semi-automatic processes. Conducting a comprehensive examination of prevalent architecture process models, such as Business…

This study emphasizes the significance of integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a systematic method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a process throughout its entire life cycle, as a vital tool for cultural heritage conservation in Türkiye. The …

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 review explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing energy efficiency within heritage buildings, focusing on balancing sustainability goals with the preservation of historical and architectural integrity. AI technologies such as Building…

In this paper, a thermal insulation analysis was carried out for a building using paper waste reinforced clay brick as building material. Firstly, the analysis was made using two different normal wall bricks as building material for the sample building. Later,…

The increasing world population has increased the demand for food. Many threats such as agricultural land use, environmental impacts, global warming and drought risks necessitate industrialization of agricultural production and optimum utilization of existing …

Complexity in the behavior of asphalt binders are further escalated with geopolymer (fly ash and the alkali liquid) modification thus, making it difficult to predict the performance of the binder accurately. This study employs artificial neural network model…

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…

Throughout history, earth as one of the most basic building materials of architecture, has stood out as a culturally and environmentally sustainable resource thanks to its local availability, compatibility with natural cycles and renewability. Increasing envir…

Sediment can be composed of all road elements. On soil roads, road surface erosion is generally the predominant source of sediment. The multifaceted impact of forest road construction on the environment is always a serious issue in terms of watershed managemen…

Geçmişin tanıklığını yapan sosyo-ekonomik, kültürel ve mimari değerlere sahip yapılar sonraki kuşaklar için mimari mirasın önemli bir parçasıdır. Döneminin ruhunu ve kimliğini taşıyan mimari yapıların korunması tarihi ve kültürel bilincin canlı tutularak toplu…

In this talk, we investigate a model of the oxygen-phytoplankton-zooplankton dynamics to understand the underlying properties of the effect of environmental stochasticity both on oxygen production rate and phytoplankton growth rate. We address this issue the…

In this article, the influence of the use of three different bricks on the building heat performance is compared for use on wall surfaces as a building construction element. At the beginning of the analysis, the thermal analysis of the building was carried out…
