Determination of the Knowledge Level of the Technical Staff about Arbitration

Türkiye has become one of the world's leading countries in the construction sector in the international arena. Today, the use of FIDIC and similar standard contracts is increasing in Turkish contractor companies. In parallel with this situation, it also becomes more common to prefer arbitration in the settlement of disputes in the international construction sector. In the literature, there is no actual publication about the knowledge level of technical staff on arbitration. By taking this deficiency into consideration, the purpose of this study is to measure the awareness of the groups working in the construction sector about the possibility of applying to arbitration as a result of the disputes that they encounter, by measuring the arbitration knowledge level of the technical staff. Accordingly, an empirical field work was conducted with a total of 100 (one hundred) technical staff working in the public and private sector transportation projects in Istanbul. The data collection tool that was used in the research is a questionnaire developed by the researchers and consisting of 25 questions. In the survey analysis, the data were analyzed with the SPSS 28 package program. In the study, a reliability test was conducted for each statement and the Mann-Whitney U test was used. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that 84.4% of the participants do not follow up the actual developments in the field of arbitration in the world and in Türkiye, and do not have sufficient knowledge about arbitration. However, it has been determined that the arbitration knowledge level of the participants, who follow up the actual developments in the world and in Türkiye and have sufficient knowledge about arbitration, is high. In addition, it has been determined that 93.8% of the participants would like to participate an information training to be held on arbitration. To increase awareness about arbitration, it is necessary to introduce undergraduate-level arbitration courses for technical staff in engineering and architecture faculties at universities, and to organize periodic in-service training programs by the arbitration centers in our country.

PERBANDINGAN KOS PEMBELAJARAN DALAM KALANGAN PELAJAR KAMPUS SERI ISKANDAR, UiTM PERAK

Excellent academic achievement is the target of student learning efforts at every level of study. Unfortunately, dealing with financial problems during the study session is often one of the causes of academic dropout among students nowadays. Aware of this, UiTM Perak in particular has offered zakat assistance as a financial solution to selected students to ease the financial burden through the establishment of the Zakat, Sedekah and Waqf Unit. However, the existing distribution method which is done based on the average cost of study for asnaf students, is relatively often somewhat misguided from the objective of fair aid distribution considering that the background of asnaf students is from various studies and bear different learning costs. Therefore, in order to succeed in an alternative method of fair distribution of zakat aid and achieve its goals, this study was conducted with the objective; identify the financial needs of UiTM Perak Branch students according to the department and semester of study, explain the differences in the cost of learning needs between faculties and further re-evaluate the more relevant zakat distribution method according to the current situation. This study was carried out quantitatively through the distribution of online questionnaires to the students of the Faculty of Architecture and Material Planning (FSPU), Faculty of Painting & Design (FSSR), Faculty of Accounting (FP), Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics (FSKM) ) and the Faculty of Applied Science (FSG). Findings show that the need for learning costs for FSSR students is greater than other faculties. The hope is that this finding will fuel academic excellence among asnaf students through a more transparent and effective method of distributing zakat aid.

Temporary Foldable Children's Socialization Spaces After Earthquake: Interior Architecture Workshop Experience

Earthquakes are among the natural disasters that leave behind severe psychological, sociological, and economic damage. The significant earthquakes that struck our nation on February 6, 2023, with their epicenter at Kahramanmaraş, resulted in numerous fatalities and destruction of property. All kinds of entrepreneurs are essential to the post-disaster recovery process because they offer creative fixes and advancements. Within the framework of the Interior Architecture Project-IV course, an online workshop on "Temporary Foldable Children's Socialization Spaces After the Earthquake" was conducted with students from Selçuk University Faculty of Architecture and Design, Department of Interior Architecture. A three-stage systematic approach for design-oriented learning is employed, comprising stages for implementation, creative decision-making, and analytical comprehension. The outcomes of the workshop show that students studying interior architecture are capable of coming up with original solutions to design issues. Foldability has been highlighted as a key idea that influences form choices in function solutions and has given students the capacity to design at various scales, ranging from space design to equipment design.

Out‐of‐School Activities in Architectural Education: MUISCARCH International Architecture Students Congress

AbstractThis research aims to question the effect of adopting non‐formal and informal learning environments into architectural education on the overall learning experiences of architecture students. In this context, a series of out‐of‐school activities organised within the scope of Maltepe University, Faculty of Architecture and Design, which are based on a variety of different non‐formal and informal learning methods, are discussed. Although there are various out‐of‐school activities, the significance of these comprehensive extracurricular activities relies on being an entire student initiative from planning to execution and consisting of symposiums, workshops and organisation processes that bring non‐formal and informal learning experiences together. Unlike most of the research discussing non‐formal/in‐formal activities through final products, our research focuses on the learning experience of the students and the learning process itself. Based on the participant observation method, we gathered data through observing behaviours and interactions, casual conversations, unstructured and informal interviews, and reviews of the participants' studies. The findings revealed the learning acquisitions and benefits that students gained intentionally or unintentionally throughout the process from integrated learning environments, which are required to compete with the complex challenges of architectural education and the profession, as emerging technologies, materials, design trends and societal conditions. This reality forces architectural education programs to embrace and integrate informal and non‐formal learning experiences into their curricula. Flexible learning models need to be designed and adapted to formal education to provide a well‐rounded educational experience for architecture students, emphasising self‐directed learning and practical experience in real‐world contexts.

Multi-Criteria Analysis and Design Ideas of Green Façade Systems as Eco-Friendly Architectural Solutions

The article discusses current trends in designing green and eco-friendly façades of buildings of different functions in Poland and around the world. Information collected on completed façade projects, associated research and conclusions formulated on the basis thereof, indicate trends and possibilities for the use of contemporary material solutions and technologies in designing various forms of vertical 'greenery’ which support sustainable development of urban areas. The main objective of the research was to identify the most important features of green façades as eco-friendly architectural solutions. A case study with descriptions of the features and qualitative elements of 100 of the most architecturally interesting buildings with characteristic external wall structures was constructed for research purposes. The sites selected for the case study represent a review of global trends. The data was then used for a multi-criteria analysis of green façade systems from the perspective of eco-friendly architectural solutions. The conducted research, analyses and discussions on solutions already in place were then implemented as guidelines for innovative architectural design solutions, which were presented at the Faculty of Architecture at Poznań University of Technology in the form of selected diagrams and student visualisations. These comprised highly aesthetic compositions, possible to implement in the near future.

EFFECT OF LIGHTING LEVELS AND LAMP TYPES FOR CRIME PREVENTION IN THAI PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS

The effects of illuminance level and lamp type were investigated for crime prevention in Thai pedestrian walkways aimed to examine the effects of illuminance on perceived safety, pedestrian behaviour, and criminal identification as part of crime prevention. Laboratory tests were carried out at the Faculty of Architecture, Kasetsart University. Five levels of illuminance: 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 lux, and the types of lamps—HPS, LED Daylight and LED Warm White were investigated. Experimental tests were performed using a 3D model with DIALux simulation. Results showed that each lamp type required a different illuminance to optimize crime prevention. The HPS lamp with an illuminance of 200 lux was found to be the most suitable level for perceived safety, while 10 lux was suitable for pedestrian behaviour and 10 lux was suitable for criminal identification. For the LED Daylight lamp, the illuminance of 200 lux was the most appropriate level for perceived safety, while 20 lux was suitable for pedestrian behaviour and 10-20 lux was enough for criminal identification.  For the LED Warm-white lamp, the illuminance of 10 lux was the most appropriate level for perceived safety, with 20 lux for pedestrian behaviour, and 10-20 lux for criminal identification.

Humanitarian Architecture: Examining the Perspective of Architecture Faculties and Students

The frequency of natural disasters keeps increasing from time to time. The catastrophes from the events affect millions of people around the world. It demands the involvement of architects in the design and planning difficulties associated with rebuilding post-disaster areas and cities. However, there is a continuing lack of architects who are capable of handling the damage left behind by devastating natural disasters like floods, fires, earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis. In addition, there is a shortage of architectural students who are interested in this crucial matter. Targeting architecture faculties and students, this study discusses the architects’ role in the humanitarian subject. The objective is to figure out the level of awareness and exposure to this topic at the higher education level. It was done by examining the involvement of architecture faculties and students in humanitarian architecture through mixed qualitative and quantitative methods. This study proposes a way to shed light on humanitarian architecture to alert architecture faculties and students to the growing need for help and support in reconstructing communities damaged by catastrophes. It also provides an understanding of how to offer assistance while respecting the culture, identity, and needs of the affected people.

Study on Sleep Quality of Students in Regards with Cognitive Capabilities and Academic Achievement Post COVID-19 Pandemic

A shift in lifestyle during COVID-19 pandemic affects daily conditions, including sleep condition. During pandemic, humans have plenty of time to rest by the virtue of eliminating commuting time for daily activities, therefore changing the sleeping pattern in society, including for students. Students from academic year 2020 are the first to experience online classes, but since Semester 1 of 2022/2023 academic year ITENAS are going back to normal, on-site class activities. This condition reverted the lifestyle shaped over the past two years, affecting cognitive function because one of the supporting factors of cognitive function is sleep quality. Data from ITENAS Academic Bureau showed 48% of students from 2020 suffered decline in GPA index during the first semester of 2022/2023 academic period. In this research the sleep quality of students will be studied using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while cognitive capabilities will be observed through Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) with special attention for student’s GPA index. From 97 students sampled for this research, there is an increase of students having bad sleeping quality at the start, during, and at the end of semester, with average percentage during all 3 periods at 89.69% of students with bad sleep quality. The number of students with high cognitive capabilities is increasing from the start, during, and after the end of semester, therefore there is no correlation between sleep quality and cognitive capabilities (p>0.05), as well as between sleep quality and academic achievement and between cognitive capabilities and academic achievement. Despite differences in sleep quality between students from Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, and Faculty of Architecture and Design, no apparent differences in cognitive capabilities and academic achievements to be observed.

Habitat – structure and form, design experience in teaching interior design.

This paper is an attempt to take a closer look on this issue in the context of design experiments carried out in the Interior Design Studio by second-year Interior Design students, Faculty of Architecture and Fine Arts, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University. The formula adopted in the studio is seeking the form, analysing, building structures, experiencing, discussing and making presentations. In designing we refer to numerous disciplines. The design process combines both visual arts, technical and sociological disciplines. The project is conducted with reference to the issues of building a structure of specific content, with distinctive signs of a residential space. The idea of a residential space is built based on material and emotional categories, an analysis of structures that serve equivalent functions, as well as inspirations drawn from culture and science. The presented designs show the multifaceted nature of interpreting and understanding of the residential space. Design education is an endless process that is constantly changing despite the adopted rules and methods, thus making it continuously relevant to exchange experiences and update knowledge on the subject.

Urban Design is one of the many courses that future engineers in the program of Architecture and Urban Design participate in. Urban Design is an important subject, it deals with land development and the organization of public space. Several dozen study programs, project topics and form of classes were analyzed. The teaching of Urban Design was juxtaposed with changes taking place in post-war cities, trends and planning documents. The research results allow us to see the current state of urban design education and in what direction it is evolving.

Adriana Araneda (1936-2023) and the teaching of landscape: itinerary of a Chilean teacher in France

Adriana Araneda (1935-2023), a Chilean architect and teacher with a strong commitment to the teaching of architecture, was forced into exile when the military regime was installed in September 1973. What vision of architecture and pedagogy did she bring to the school of architecture in Paris La Villette (UP6)? How did her knowledge and theories travel and adapt in this new context? This article portrays her trajectory and her pedagogical work between France and Chile: from her higher studies and her first approaches to the teaching of architecture, in the faculty of architecture and urbanism of the University of Chile, to her pedagogical developments in Paris, in the French schools of architecture that were then in gestation. Therefore, it attempts to represent his contribution to the pedagogical renewal of architectural education in France, particularly in the field of landscape and the visual arts, with an effervescent and subversive environment as a backdrop.

Analysis of settlement parameters of architecture faculties on university campus

The selection of a suitable place for an activity is an important decision made for a project, which requires assessing it from different points of view. Educational use is one of the most complicated and substantial uses in urban space that requires precise and logical attention to its location and neighborhood with similar and consistent uses. Faculties of universities are educational spaces that should be protected against physical and moral damage to create a healthy educational environment. To do this, it is necessary to find and assess the factors affecting the location of educational spaces. The extant study aimed at finding and assessing the factors affecting the location of educational spaces to locate art and architecture schools or faculties in 4 important universities. The present study is applied developmental research in terms of nature and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. This study used the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) weighing and controlled the prioritization through the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity) technique in the methodology phase. Since there was no criterion and metric for these centers, six were chosen as the primary metrics after reviewing the relevant theoretical foundations, early investigations, and collecting effective data. Finally, the results indicated the most important factors of vehicular or roadway access, pedestrian access, slope, parking, adjacency, neighborhood, and area. Among the mentioned factors, pedestrian access (w: 0.4231) had the highest weight and was the priority in the location of architecture faculty in studied campuses and areas inside the universities.

Determination of Environmental Ethics Approaches of Urban and Regional Planning Students

Urban planners who are environmentally conscious and aware will take action to take responsibility, inform, and control. Raising environmental awareness is essential in urban planning education to understand environmental problems. Therefore, it is necessary to educate urban planning students on environmental ethics. This study investigates the environmental attitudes and behaviors of urban and regional planning students, who will shape the environment in the future within the context of the value-belief-norm theory. Moreover, to find clues that will shape environmental education in the course curriculum. The study included 226 students from the Department of Urban and Regional Planning in the Faculty of Architecture of Yıldız Technical University (YTU) and Amasya University (AU). Questionnaire data has been evaluated using principal components analysis, correlation analysis, T-test, and ANOVA analysis. According to the study findings, urban planning students have adopted biocentric, ecocentric, and anthropocentric value orientations. The study has found that students with ecocentric value orientation tend to show more pro-environmental behavior. The study concludes that the student’s characteristics also affect how they show pro-environmental behavior and evaluate environmental policies. In conclusion, focusing on ecocentric approaches in urban planning education can positively affect adopting pro-environmental behavior and policies. Additionally, study findings show that students with relatively better economic conditions are more inclined to have a biocentric value orientation. Based on the literature and these study findings, pro-environmental behavior is not a single-dimensional structure caused only by individuals' personal and professional characteristics. People's environmental attitudes and behaviors are shaped by their upbringing, school, friends, and culture. It shows that pro-environmental behavior has a multi-dimensional complex structure, and a conceptual framework can provide guidance to explain these kinds of behavior.

Desineer: Experimental Space Production in VR Environment

Architecture students and professionals had the opportunity to produce experimental spaces with the power of computer technologies, apart from traditional methods in space production. Technologies such as parametric design, Building Information Modelling (BIM), visual coding, and virtual reality hold new horizons for space production and the architecture itself. Despite all their potentials, they are still mainly used to support the design process or to present a project. The use of these tools is limited only to the effort to produce different and "impressive" forms based on aesthetic concerns. The study aims to examine the different possibilities of space production through digital space experiments. In this context, an experimental Virtual Reality (VR) application named “Desineer” was developed with Unreal game engine. The program has an easy interface where users can directly grab, drag, place and shape mesh objects. The Hands have played an important role in production throughout human history. Desineer eliminates the intermediary tools such as keyboard and mouse, with the help of VR technology, allowing the production of digital space directly by hands. By using the program, experiments were conducted on the manual production of digital space at Dumlupınar University Faculty of Architecture for students to gain new experiences. Within the scope of the study, first, discussions were held on space and the production of it for the students to develop their own ideas and perspectives, albeit fundamentally. Later, poems on different themes belonging to various poets were given to the students. The students read these poems and think about how the poems made them think and feel. Finally, the students produced improvised spaces based on these ideas and emotions using Desineer. It was observed that the workshop contributed students to the development of different perspectives on the production of space.

Campus Utopias

“Campus Utopias: A Visual Re-reading” describes a multidisciplinary graduate course conducted collaboratively by TU Delft and METU Ankara’s Architecture Departments in 2022. The research course focused on the key urban and architectural features of selected campus projects, examining how the modernist architects engaged in these designs were able to use them as a basis for the experimentation of new educational-residential models for living.This research paper explores the formal aspects of these campuses and their architectural significance. It recognizes the diverse geographies where the modern architectural movement took root and the active role played by political, economic, and cultural agents in shaping these projects. Working with local agents and situating modern architecture within its surrounding infrastructure and landscape helped master architects to integrate local architectural values and new building technologies.The article presents three case studies: Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria, the University of Baghdad in Iraq, and the Central University of Venezuela in Caracas. These campuses were designed and built after World War II, representing the aspirations of newly installed governments. The article highlights the architectural approaches that incorporated environmental considerations and cultural inspirations and the socio-economic considerations in each project.The research methodology involves a comparative analysis of the campuses, focusing on their formal qualities and in-between spaces. The students involved in the graduate research course utilized various media and techniques of representation, including 3D digital drawings, models, collages, and physical reliefs. The work results were presented in the form of an exhibition titled “Campus Utopias” at TU Delft Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment in April 2022. The student projects in this photo essay show the diversity of scale and make visible the similarities and differences in the overall campus design approaches of the three projects. The major focus is on the in-between spaces and the outcomes of the multidisciplinary work of architects, engineers, landscape architects, and artists.
