Abstract
The aim of this paper is examining a research design methodology approach. This methodology approach is mainly focusing on investigating the comparison of consistent cases within a research structure. The comparison is carried out through the 2D drawing layouts such as plans in the selected study. Although the main concern is examining the methodology covering the comparison of low-rise apartments’ domestic space plan layouts, the exemplar study is also introduced briefly within the paper for a better understanding of the introduced comparison structure and the part of the methodology scrutinized. Comparison of plan layouts related cases in space syntax and morphology studies is the starting point. Afterwards, the discussion on the selection of similar plan types (2D drawings) in meaning and sizes made the methodology introduced possible. Focusing on an architectural design related research study is a crucial part of this paper supporting the core discussion. For this reason, focusing on a former research based on architectural design related domestic space investigation with its context related to low-rise apartment plans’ in Istanbul was needed. Other than domestic space investigations, this approach may also be applied to similar investigations covering building design morphology and spatial syntax related researches focusing on the comparison of cases depending on a systematic selection. The selection of the analyzed cases in this design methodology approach is crucial with their similar extent of plan sizes and semantic coherence in relation with their use of spaces. Environment-Behavior Studies related research context is also crucial for this methodology approach. Behavioral circuits, behavior setting, and culture-ecology perspective within the building scale should be primarily discussed in order to use this paper’s methodological approach.
Highlights
The determination of the same number of grids per square meter coming from the software made the quantitative comparison possible between all plans
As a final remark regarding this supporting study after the summary given above, the core discussion of this methodology paper was linked to this background study with the part where “The determination of the same number of grids per square meter coming from the software made the quantitative comparison possible between all plans” is explained
The research methodology approach and its significance, some framework and context relating to the previous example field study have been scrutinized
Summary
Starting from the 10-15 house configuration in the spiraling street in Aşıklı Mound/Aksaray in the Late Neolithic Age (Çorlu, 1999), extant today via the house we encountered in the grid plan in Priene and Hierapolis and houses of Bergama with atrium, and hillside houses of Ephesus, the development of housing within the context of sheltering need as a basic need of humanity will always continue physically and semantically.Journal of Design for Resilience in Architecture & Planning, 2021, 2(1): 86-105 Page| 87As for the 20th century was approached, the process this study accentuated within the context of multi-housing development and Istanbul is the housing development process rooting from the formation of large, luxurious apartments on the main streets of Pera, Taksim and Pangaaltı around 1900 (Colonas, 1999) and continuing its development and transformation.Multi-housing concept coexists with city and city (in Turkish: Kent, originating from the words Kand/kant, kasaba (town), kale (fortress/home) (Nişanyan, 2009)) involves people engaging in trade, industry, management, service activities. As for the 20th century was approached, the process this study accentuated within the context of multi-housing development and Istanbul is the housing development process rooting from the formation of large, luxurious apartments on the main streets of Pera, Taksim and Pangaaltı around 1900 (Colonas, 1999) and continuing its development and transformation. “Global cities faithfully reflect the economic restructuring, employment structure, and the changes at the population and class formation levels associated with them, as the people and commercial units which assume the vital controlling functions on the global flows are present in these cities” (Keyder, 1999). It is accurate to consider the housing development within this context
