Ekici, B. (author), Türkcan, Okan (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Tasgetiren, Mehmet Fatih (author)The increase in global population, which negatively affects energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and arable land, necessitates designing sustainable habitation alternatives. Self-sufficient high-rise buildings, which integrate (electricity) generation and efficient usage of resources with dense habitation, can be a sustainable solution for future...journal article 2022

Çubukçuoglu, C. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Tasgetiren, M. Fatih (author)The paper proposes a generative design workflow for three major hospital layout planning steps to satisfy multiplex configurational requirements. The initial step is stacking through clustering functional spaces into floor plans, for which a spectral method is presented. Subsequently, a novel simultaneous process of zoning and routing is...journal article 2022

Ekici, B. (author), Kazanasmaz, Tuğçe (author), Turrin, M. (author), Tasgetiren, Fatih (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)Designing high-rise buildings is one of the complex tasks of architecture because it involves interdisciplinary performance aspects in the conceptual phase. The necessity for sustainable high-rise buildings has increased owing to the demand for metropolises based on population growth and urbanisation trends. Although artificial intelligence (AI)...journal article 2021

Ekici, B. (author), Kazanasmaz, Tugce (author), Turrin, M. (author), Tasgetiren, Fatih (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)High-rise building optimisation is becoming increasingly relevant owing to global population growth and urbanisation trends. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of high-rise optimisation but have been focused on the use of the parameters of single floors for the entire design; thus, the differences related to the impact of the dense...journal article 2021

Alkadri, M.F. (author), De Luca, Francesco (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)This study proposes a voxel-based design approach based on the subtractive mechanism of shading envelopes and attributes information of point cloud data in tropical climates. In particular, the proposed method evaluates a volumetric sample of new buildings based on predefined shading performance criteria. With the support of geometric and...journal article 2020

Alkadri, M.F. (author), De Luca, Francesco (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)The increasing population density in urban areas simultaneously impacts the trend of energy consumption in building sectors and the urban heat island (UHI) effects of urban infrastructure. Accordingly, passive design strategies to create sustainable buildings play a major role in addressing these issues, while solar envelopes prove to be a...review 2020

Pan, W. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Louter, P.C. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)During the early design process, simulations allow numeric assessment and 3D models allow visual inspection for qualitative criteria. However, exploring different design alternatives based on both is challenging. To support the design exploration of quantitative performance and geometry typology of various design alternatives during the early...journal article 2020

Yang, D. (author), Di Stefano, Danilo (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Sun, Yimin (author)Simulation-Based Multi-Objective Optimization (SBMOO) methods are being increasingly used in conceptual architectural design. They mostly focus on the solving, rather than the re-formulation, of a Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) problem. However, Optimization Problem Re-Formulation (Re-OPF) is necessary for treating ill-defined conceptual...journal article 2020

Çubukçuoglu, C. (author), Ekici, B. (author), Tasgetiren, M. Fatih (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)Most of the architectural design problems are basically real-parameter optimization problems. So, any type of evolutionary and swarm algorithms can be used in this field. However, there is a little attention on using optimization methods within the computer aided design (CAD) programs. In this paper, we present Optimus, which is a new...journal article 2019
