In school design studying spatial qualities, which are in harmony with the education programmes’ goals, is important for creating physical conditions that support associated education process. In new learning approaches it is emphasized that there is no single learning method, that it is necessary to find different methods for learning in schools, and that there is a need to search for new education environments for learning. In this respect this study aims to examine new architectural examples, which are in harmony with the goals of contemporary education approaches, and to shed light on designing new educational buildings as a result. In the scope of this work the approach to schools and opinions that are effective on learning are mentioned briefly, expectations from school architecture are defined, and examples from innovative education environments, which are made to give necessary usage capabilities required by new education approaches, are presented. When the examples are exam...

In this study, two different housing areas in the urban fabric of Bursa have been analyzed for distinguishing the characteristics of public life. One of the two housing areas covered in the study is populated by lower-income groups, while higher-income groups generally live in the other; thus the chosen areas are completely different in socio-economic terms. Located in the eastern part of the city and known as Y ld r m, the first area started to develop gradually with the construction of a complex (külliye) by Sultan Y ld r m Beyaz t during the Ottoman era in late 14 century, which was surrounded with residential areas in time. With the th migration Bursa attracted as an industrial city after 1950s, the population of lower-income households grew significantly in the area. The second area, Bademli, is Bursa’s first suburban neighborhood populated by the houses of Bursa’s upper-income population. An evaluation of the two settlement areas shows us that although better physical conditio...

One of the main goals in sustainable school design is to get more value from daylight. When using natural light, the need for artificial lighting is minimized and the success of students in the learning environment is maintained. In this context, the purpose of this study is to identify the methods used to support the use of daylight in schools designed in accordance with the principles of sustainability. As part of the study, solutions were considered to increase daylight consumption in school samples, designed to ensure sustainability as part of “providing daylight, controlling daylight, and supporting natural light”. In the studied samples, the receiving of natural light is provided in various ways, glazing in the south wall, using windows at the height of the floor, openings on top of the room and in some cases combining these strategies. The goal of supporting natural lighting is to effectively determine the shape of buildings. Textile layers, daylight sensitive louvre systems ...

Motor vehicle traffic, safety and security issues and insufficiency of playgrounds in contemporary cities keep children away from outdoors. Under these circumstances, schools are expected to assume responsibility with a view to strengthening the relationship of children with their physical environment. In this study, aims at supporting tours allowing preschool children to interact with their environment and children’s, teacher’s and parent’s preferences and evaluations about environment tours are provided. Interviews with 30 children in the age group of 5 years, from three different nurseries, their parents and teachers have revealed that pedestrian and motor vehicle transportation are equally preferred and that they are considered as experiences contributing to transportation processes of children with respect to communication with the environment, healthy growth and socializing. Both parents and teachers have emphasized the positive contribution of extra scholastic experience to t...

Motor vehicle traffic, safety and security issues and insufficiency of playgrounds in contemporary cities keep children away from outdoors.

In this study, aims at supporting tours allowing preschool children to interact with their environment and children’s, teacher’s and parent’s preferences and evaluations about environment tours are provided. Interviews with 30 children in the age group of 5 years, from three different nurseries, their parents and teachers have revealed that pedestrian and motor vehicle transportation are equally preferred and that they are considered as experiences contributing to transportation processes of children with respect to communication with the environment, healthy growth and socializing. Both parents and teachers have emphasized the positive contribution of extra scholastic experience to the children and complained that the number of tours organized for that purpose is not sufficient . Safe and secure transportation facilities for pre-school children in cities must be provided with a view to increasing the number of tours enabling the children to learn about their environment and to experience the life. To this end, perceptions and behaviors of pre-school children as well as their opinions and recommendations must be taken into consideration and in researches aiming at improvement of urban living conditions.

Surdurulebilir yapim, gelecek nesillerin saglikli bir dunyada yasamlarina devam edebilmesi acisindan onem tasimakta; kaynaklarin etkin kullanilmasi, yenilenebilir enerjiden yararlanma, geridonusumlu ve cevreye zarar vermeyen materyallerin secimi, su koruma gibi yasam kalitesini etkileyen pek cok konu, surdurulebilir tasarim kapsaminda degerlendirilmektedir. Bu cercevede gerceklestirilen uygulamalar, topluma surdurulebilirlik konusunda bilinc kazandiran semboller olarak ayri bir deger de tasimaktadir. Surdurulebilirlik yonunde farkindaligin saglanabilmesine egitimciler tarafindan buyuk bir onem verilmekte, cocuklarin erken yaslarda bu bakis acisinin sagladigi kazanimlari ogrenebilmesi amaciyla “surdurulebilirlik icin egitim” programlarina okuloncesi egitimden itibaren yer verilmektedir. Bu anlayisin destekleyicisi olarak, egitim yapilarinin kendisinin de, okullarda ogretilen teorik bilgilerin deneyimlenebildigi bir laboratuvar olabilmesi gerektigi dusunulmektedir. Bu acidan, calismada okul yapilari icin surdurulebilir yapim kapsaminda dikkate alinmasi gereken ilkeler arastirilmistir. Calisma kapsaminda, bir ogrenme araci olarak surdurulebilir tasarimin onemine deginildikten sonra, dogal isiktan yararlanma, isitma, sogutma ve havalandirma yontemleri, ruzgâr enerjisi, su koruma ve malzeme secimi kapsaminda surdurulebilir okul tasariminda onem tasiyan konular arastirilmistir. Surdurulebilir tasarim ilkelerinin dikkate alindigi uygulamalarin sayica azligi dunya genelinde elestirilmekte; Turkiye’de de son yillarda konuya olan ilgide artis gorulmekle birlikte, uygulama ve arastirma yonunde daha cok adim atilmasi gerekmektedir. Bu acidan calismayla okul tasarimlari icin yardimci bir kaynak saglayabilmek amaclanmistir.
