Examination of old-new building harmony in the historical environment with 3D fractal analysis method: Safranbolu example

Geleneksel dokular toplumların kültürlerinin somut yansımalarıdır. Toplumların-sürdürülebilirlik açısından- bu dokuları korumak, gelecek kuşaklara aktarmak ve onlardan çıkarımlar yapmak gibi sorumlulukları vardır. Ancak ilerleyen zamana karşın değişen yaşam koşulları ve artan ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda yeni mekânlara ve binalara gereksinim duyulmaktadır. İki unsur arasındaki dengeyi kurabilmek için geleneksel dokuların çevresinde onlara uyumlu, sürdürülebilir yapıları planlamak, inşa etmek gereklidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda geçmişten bugüne tabi ki nitel ve nicel çeşitli yöntemler ve kurallar geliştirilmiştir. Dolayısıyla uygulanan yöntem ve kuralların sonuçlarının nesnel değerlendirilmesine de her zaman ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. Buna karşılık olarak kullanılabilecek değerlendirme araçlarından birisi de doğadaki çeşitli dokuların analizinde kullanılan, mimari analizlerde de değerlendirilen ve somut çıkarımlar sunan fraktal boyut uygulamalarıdır. Bu çalışmada da bu yöntemle, tarihi çevre içinde ya da çevresinde uygulanan yapıların çevresiyle uyumluluklarının sınanması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için, diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak üç boyutlu fraktal yaklaşımla, kültürel miras kenti Safranbolu’da Babasultan Mahallesi’nde seçilen tescilli eski ve yeni inşa edilen binaların doku analizleri yapılarak ve birbirleriyle tutarlılıkları ölçülmüştür. Bu şekilde, hem bu tarihi çevredeki yeni yapı yaklaşımlarıyla ilgili bir durum tespiti hem de bu tekniğin sayısal çıktıları üzerinden eski ve yeni yapıların yorumlaması yapılmıştır. Analizlerde yeni yapılarda farklı yaklaşımlarla birlikte, özellikle biçimsel doku bakımından, bir dil birliğinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Seed, Tree, Forest… Building Harmony Symmetry Through (Sacred) Creativity

The act of conceiving and maturing the geometry of a specific architectural design pro- ject is always a mystery with no precise explanation. Might symmetry still be of any help here? On one hand, symmetry is a precise concept that starts in mirroring, on the other, it is a vague notion signifying good balanced. The geometry of a creative harmony always needs to find this balance between that which is objective and that which is intuitive. Nowadays, how could we deepen into this subject in a pedagogical way? Seed, Tree, Forest... aims to give a peaceful impulse into this necessary balance. Three selected case-studies complement this approach and try to clarify three levels of symmetry in use. In the end, this will lead us into a reflection about the role of conscious- ness in the selection of symmetry sources as creative inspiration.

Upaya Meningkatkan Kesadaran Ekologis dalam Perspektif Ali Jum'ah

The phenomenon of the environmental crisis that is increasingly happening has the potential to threaten human life. One of the main factors responsible to create this crisis a mistake in understanding religious context. Many Muslims tend to believe that Islam only focuses on the relationship between humans and humans and humans with God alone . As a result, Islamic values ​​related to natural phenomena have gone unnoticed. Whereas an ecological settlement approach based on Islamic values ​​can be a solution in facing the environmental crisis. With the work of Muslim scholars, it is hoped that it can contribute to building harmony between humans and nature. One of them is a concept initiated by Shaykh 'Ali Jum'ah. This study employed library research method. The data sources consisted of two, namely primary sources and secondary sources. Primary sources are taken from the Qur'an and hadith, while the secondary sources come from books related to monotheism, fiqh, tasawwuf, taskhir, and caliph. The research found that Syekh 'Ali Jum'ah had five concepts that regulated human interaction with the environment, namely the concepts of tauhid, fiqh, tasawuf, taskhīr and khalīfah. In reading the concept initiated by Ali Jum'ah, the researcher argues that the solution he offers to overcome the environmental crisis is very comprehensive as an effort to increase ecological awareness. Starting with his way of looking at the environment which is not only a mere natural phenomenon and what coexists with it, but humans are also included in the environmental ecosystem. This is because according to him, there is no logical reason why humans should not be part of the environment. Since humans are the most important part of the environmental creation, human behavior will determine the fate of their environment in the future.

Building harmony with bridges

The design of the bridge is, in the most classic consideration, a cultural act that has its roots in the ancient triad firmitas, utilitas, venustas, which Vitruvius himself coined, wherein structural form and function coincide. The theme of the bridge can also become thought and communicate its “being” as an object loaded with identity, with its own poetic intrinsic nature and means through which we can perceive and experience the place; a unique fact that, through the form exalted by the structure, confirms the true identity of a context, and can take on various different facets. This way, the aim of the paper is to investigate the approach to the work-context-landscape-suggestions “dialogue”, which is fascinating not only in the research into the type as the founding moment for the structural design, but also as a basic assumption to encourage ongoing research into the formal potential that bridges offer in order to understand the meaning and the perception of the infrastructure in/of the landscape.
