A Bathhouse and a library in Sultangazi, Istanbul: Hidden spaces - beyond dimensions: A research on the correlation between the composition of “space”, sensation, and the “Power of Architecture”.

According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, the notion of “space” can be read in several ways, of what is the five general understandings of it would be: outside earth’s atmosphere, empty area, period, freedom, and lastly, where things exist/move. With the speed, amount of information, and technology we are currently facing in the 21st...

Eye Filmmuseum and TU Delft Library: Investigating design compositions of Dutch architecture at the turn of the millennium

This thesis aims to critically examine the design process of two cultural centres-landmarks, built in the Netherlands in the past decades. The examined projects include the EYE Filmmuseum (DMAA-2011) and the TU Delft Library (Mecanoo-1998). Despite the differences between the two buildings, they share similar starting points regarding the sites...

The Muses Labyrinth Beneath: Reproducing life inherent in musical form with architectural composition

My thesis explores on how to reproduce life inherent in the musical form with architectural composition. The beauty of music attributes to its high degree of life inherent in its holistic form, which is affective, adaptive and generative. In my research paper I approach the quote "I call architecture frozen music "by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe...

Multiscale Reconstruction of Compositional Transport

Designing strategies for efficient oil production from reservoirs rely heavily on reservoir simulation studies, which in-turn is based on various nonlinear formulations. It is therefore very important to develop a robust simulation model that captures the flow of various components present in different phases and the associated thermodynamic and...

The Treasury of the faculty of Architecture: Research and design in the field of composition

Micro spectrometer for the measurement of the composition of new gas

As the world is in need of more sustainable energy sources, the use of new gases like hydrogen or bio-gases seems to be a very attractive one. By mixing these new gases with the traditional natural gas, it becomes possible to have a smooth and economically durable transition. The amount of new gases added may be dependent on the availability,...

Measuring sediment properties in the field using MEDUSA RhoC

A promising new method for measuring sediment properties in the field is called MEDUSA RhoC. This device measures mud and sand content, sediment density, and water content in the field using Radiometric Sedimentology. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the accuracy and applicability of the MEDUSA RhoC system with its new components. This...
