Abstract

Landscaping works are needed to eliminate the monotony of concretion caused by bridge intersections, which increases with traffic density in cities. In this study, where the Erzurum city İpekyolu Intersection is the main material, 3 different scenarios have been created to increase the visual quality of the intersection landscape. A total of 4 visual groups consisting of the current situation of the intersection and the scenarios created in the Lumion Program were evaluated. The survey prepared for the analysis was applied to 80 undergraduate and graduate students at Atatürk University Faculty of Architecture. In the analysis, design elements were considered as evaluation criteria. In Scenario 3, which received the highest score, color and color harmony were effective in the side wall visuality. As a result of the research, it was seen that the design scenarios had higher visual quality than the current situations without design.

Farklı Peyzaj Tasarımları ile Erzurum Kenti İpekyolu Köprülü Kavşağının Görsel Kalitesinin Artırılması Senaryoları

Abstract

Kentlerde trafik yoğunluğuyla artan köprülü kavşaklarla oluşan betonlaşmanın monotonluğu gidermek için peyzaj çalışmalarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Erzurum kenti İpekyolu Köprülü Kavşağı’nın ana materyali oluşturduğu bu çalışmada köprülü kavşağın yan duvar, üst geçit, kavşak peyzaj görselliğini artırmaya yönelik 3 farklı senaryo oluşturulmuştur. Köprülü kavşağın mevcut durumu ve Lumion Programı’nda oluşturulan senaryolardan oluşan toplam 4 görsel grup değerlendirilmiştir. Analiz için hazırlanan anket Atatürk Üniversitesi Mimarlık Fakültesi’nde lisans ve lisansüstü eğitim gören 80 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Analizde tasarım unsurları değerlendirme kriterleri olarak ele alınmıştır. En yüksek puanı alan Senaryo 3’de yan duvar görselliğinde renk ve renk harmonisi etkili olmuştur. Araştırmanın sonucunda tasarım senaryolarının, tasarım yapılmayan mevcut durumlardan daha yüksek görsel kaliteye sahip olduğu görülmüştür.
