Evaluation of Courthouse Buildings within the Scope of Quality Function Deployment: Gaziantep Annex Courthouse Case

Abstract

In this article, the application of Quality Function Deployment method in courthouse buildings is examined through the design of Gaziantep Annex Courthouse Building. The Quality Function Deployment method is defined as a method of product or service development, taking into account user requests, including the manufacturer and supplier. Despite the emergence in the 1960s, the use of this method in Turkey began in 1990, mainly limited practices in production industry are seen in the construction industry. With the Quality Function Deployment method applied during the design process of the Gaziantep Additional Courthouse Building, which is still under construction, the current building users’ problems analyzed in this building. The parking problem in the current building, the request of the judges for a working environment free from noise, meeting and conference rooms according to user requests are considered during design phase and the design was advanced in this direction. When the Quality Function Deployment method is applied from the design stage, it is seen that it improves the quality of the building and ensures that the building has a user-friendly design and it is recommended to be used in the design of the courthouse buildings. The QFD is recommended to be used in the design of courthouse buildings.
