Yazan: -
Delivery Date : December 7th, 2016, Wednesday
Submission Deadline : 15:00

Please make a research on Micro-Architecture which is about;

Lightweight, modular, resource friendly living spaces designed and built for a specific purpose, built on mostly at non-accessible (no vehicle access and hard to go / reach by humans) places.

Presentation of your research must include;
  1. Photos, drawings, and details of the original design, cut and paste! (30pts)
  2. Drawings made by you (at least three freehand / technical sketches or a scale model) (30pts)
  3. A report of at least three hundred (300) words which discusses the design principles (40pts.) like;
  • What is the function of the building?
  • Why did they need such architecture?
  • How many and what kind of spaces are included in the architectural program? (i.e. Sleeping, living, toilet, storage, etc.)
  • How do they manage the waste (wastewater,  organic and inorganic garbage) which is produced as an output of building use?
  • How do they heat (or cool) that space?
  • From where do they obtain fresh water?
  • What materials did the architect choose?
  • How did they establish the foundation?
You may include illustrations to denote above questions.

Each similarity between submissions shall be punished by %10 of the actual score as follows:
If two students' submissions are similar and student A got 90 while student B had 85; exam note of student A becomes 81 (90x0,9), and exam note of student B becomes 76,5 (85x0,9)
If three students' submissions are similar and student A & C got 90 while student B had 85; exam note of student A & C becomes 72,9 (90x0,9x0,9), and exam note of student B becomes 68,85 (85x0,9x0,9)
Each similarity results with extra %10 punishment as per above example cases.

 Submission requirements: 

 Printed: 3 A3 (420x297mm) plates one for each question (1, 2, 3)

Alman Mimar  Ernst Neufert , 15 Mart 1900 yılında "Freyburg an der Unstrut"ta dünyaya gelmiştir. Daha çok soyadı ile tanınan bir standart geliştirme uzmanıdır. Bir bina ile ilgili ölçüleri çıkaracak kadar ileriye giden Ernst Neufert, kitabını tamamlayamadan 23 Şubat 1986 yılında vefat etmiştir. Vasiyeti gereği ise kitabı tamamlan ma mıştır. Ernst Neufert was a German Architect born on 15 March 1900 in "Freyburg an der Unstrut". He was an expert of standardization known by his surname.

Continous Exterior Water Isolation / Dampproofing at Raft Foundations (Basement Tanking)

Yazan: -
Resim
The most descriptive illustration I found is the one below: The original version of this illustration is found here The red stripes are special dampproofing materials. Because the raft foundation and shear walls are constructed one after another; the adherence in between cannot be guaranteed and a joint is formed which is called a "cold" joint (the grey line in between). Water can penetrate from this joint and to prevent that, a special insulation material that expands when met with water is applied here. This type of isolation is also necessary if for some reason we create holes on the shear wall. One other insulation required on the shear wall is applied to close holes on the wall which are leftovers of forming work. Cementitious material is applied to these holes which does not change its size (shrink) when freezes. The blue layers are the actual water isolation layers. The most common type is in the form of bituminous roll sheets as can be seen in below ph...

Sayılar ve Matematik

Yazan: -
Matematik denince pekçok insanın ilk aklına gelen sanıyorum “sayılar”dır. Sayılar muhteşem eşyadır. Fakat sayılara odaklanıp, biraz üzerinde düşünmeye başladığınızda aslında onlar hakkında ne derece az şey bildiğimizi farketmek delicesine hayrete düşürür bizleri: “Bir sayının aslında ne olduğunu nasıl tanımlarsınız? Bir sayıyı “gerçek” yapan nedir? Ya da “ gerçek sayı” yapan nedir? Kaç tane sayı var? Birbirinden çok farklı kaç çeşit sayı var?” (Bu metni okuyanlar arasında cevap verebilen var mı bu sorulara?) Aslına bakarsanız, sayılar ile ilgili tüm soruları cevaplamak için 20 ya da otuz kadar kitap yazmak gerekli... O nedenle bu yazı dizisinde sizleri sayılar dünyasında, sayıların ne olduğu hakkındaki bazı temel bilgileri öğrenmenize ve bazı garip ve ilginç özellikleri ile ilgili gerçeklikleri anlamanıza yardımcı olacak bir yolculuğa çıkartacağım. DOĞAL SAYILAR Sayı nedir? Matematikte bu soruya birkaç farklı şekilde cevap verilebilir:  Sayıların ne anlama ...
