SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR MİMARİDE ESNEKLİK YAKLAŞIMI

Abstract

Gelişen ve değişen toplumlarda farklılaşan ihtiyaçlar nedeniyle sürdürülebilir mimarlıkta esneklikliğin sağlanması kaçınılmaz hale gelmiştir. Sürdürülebilir esnek tasarımlar sayesinde ortaya çıkan bu ihtiyaçlar karşılanmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir mimaride esnek tasarım, kullanıcıların ihtiyaç ve taleplerine yanıt verebilme yeteneği ile öne çıkmaktadır. Bu yaklaşım, yaşam döngüsü sürecinde sürdürülebilirlik çerçevesinde, yapıların inşası, kullanımı, bakım-onarımı ve geri dönüşüm aşamalarında doğal kaynakların tüketimi ve atık üretimi açısından çevre üzerinde olumlu etkiler yaratması bakımından kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada esneklik kavramı ve esnek mimari yaklaşımları kuramsal olarak ele alınmış ve sürdürülebilir mimaride esneklik ölçütleri belirlenmiştir. Sürdürülebilir mimaride esnekliğin sağlanmasına yönelik stratejiler belirlenerek örnekler üzerinden “esneklik ölçütleri” açıklanmıştır. Esneklik ölçütlerinin belirlenmesinde tarihsel süreç içerisinde tanınmış birçok önde gelen mimarın esnekliğe dair yaklaşımları incelenerek değerlendirme yapılmış ve sürdürülebilir mimaride esneklik ölçütleri; mekânsal esneklik, işlevsel esneklik, estetik esneklik ve yapısal esneklik olarak belirlenmiştir.

Flexibility Approach in Sustainable Architecture

Abstract

In developing and changing societies, it has become inevitable to provide flexibility in sustainable architecture due to different needs. Thanks to the sustainable flexible designs, the emerging requirements are met. Flexible design in sustainable architecture; responding to the demands and needs of users, it gains importance in terms of sustainability in the life cycle process, in terms of their positive effects on the environment with the natural resources they consume during the construction, use, maintenance, repair and recovery stages and the waste they generate. In this study, the concept of flexibility and flexible architectural approaches were theoretically dealt with in a wide range and flexibility criteria were set up in sustainable architecture. Strategies for providing flexibility in sustainable architecture were identified and “flexibility criteria” were explained through examples. In determining the flexibility criteria, the approaches of many leading architects who are well-known in the historical process have been evaluated by evaluating the approaches to flexibility and flexibility criteria in sustainable architecture; four criteria, namely "spatial flexibility", "functional flexibility", "structural flexibility" and "aesthetic flexibility" were determined by evaluating them in terms of adaptiveness, movableness, interactivity and transformability perspectives.
