Değişime Aracılık Etmek: Etkin Tasarım ile Sürdürülebilir Geleceğe Doğru

Abstract

Enerji verimliliği ve teknolojik gelişmelere indirgenen sürdürülebilir mimari, ancak bütüncül tasarım anlayışının yansıması olarak verimli bir tasarım anlayışıyla mümkündür. Çalışma, seçilen alan çalışması üzerinden güncel Türkiye konut planlarının değişen ihtiyaçlara uyum sağlamadığına dair eleştirel bir bakış açısı sunar. Bir tasarım stratejisi olarak konut planlamasında mekansal verimlilik kavramını ele alarak gelecekte değişim için bir perspektif oluşturmayı ve mimarinin toplumsal paradigmayı etkilemekteki gücünü ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada mekanın esnek ve etkin tasarımının tümevarımsal bir yaklaşımla sürdürülebilir mimariye olumlu etkisi vurgulanırken, esnek ve etkin konut planlaması karşılaştırmalı örneklerle tariflenir. Bu amaçla, mekan verimliliğine ilişkin Ankara ve Konya’da 46 apartmandaki 1042 dairenin plan özelliklerine ve hane halkı sayılarına ilişkin bir veri analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri analizine altlık oluşturan bilgilere araştırma sahasını oluşturan ve her apartmandan en az 2 kişi olacak şekilde 185 kişi ile amaçlı ve kartopu örneklem tekniği kullanılarak yapılan yapılandırılmış formdaki görüşmeler sonucunda ulaşılmıştır. Daha yaşanabilir yaşam çevreleri için hassas ve akıllı bir yaklaşımın gerekliliğini ortaya koyan veri analizlerinin yanı sıra, apartmanlardaki daire çeşitliliği ve dairelerde yaşayan insan sayısının daire kapasitesine (bir dönüştürme faktörü “Fc” uygulanarak hesaplanmıştır) oranlanması sonucu elde edilen bulgular eleştirilerin haklılığını ortaya koymaktadır. Veri analizi sonucu bir apartmandaki konutların büyük oranının tek tip planlardan oluştuğu ve dairelerde kapasitesinin altında insan yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak çalışmada konutta mekan verimliliği analiz edilmiş; etkin ve esnek mekan tasarım anlayışıyla daha iyi bir geleceğin nasıl tasarlanabileceği konusunda önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Mediating a Change: Towards a Sustainable Future with Efficient Space Design

Abstract

Sustainable architecture, which is reduced to energy efficiency and technological developments, is only possible with an efficient design approach as a reflection of a holistic design approach. The study offers a critical perspective on the fact that current Turkish housing plans do not adapt to changing needs. As a design strategy, it aims to create a perspective for future change by addressing the concept of spatial efficiency in housing planning and to reveal the power of architecture in influencing the social paradigm. In the research, the positive effect of the flexible and effective design of the space on sustainable architecture is emphasized with an inductive approach, while flexible and effective housing planning is described with comparative examples. For this purpose, a data analysis on the plan characteristics and number of households of 1042 flats in 46 apartment buildings in Ankara and Konya regarding space efficiency was carried out. The information forming the basis of the data analysis was obtained as a result of structured form interviews conducted with 185 people, at least 2 people from each apartment building, using snowball sampling techniques. In addition to the data analysis revealing the necessity of a sensitive and smart approach for more livable living environments, the findings obtained as a result of the ratio of the variety of apartments in the apartments and the number of people living in the apartments to the apartment capacity (calculated by applying a factor of conversion “Fc”) proved the criticisms justified. As a result, in the study, space efficiency in the house was analyzed; suggestions have been developed on how to design a better future with an effective and flexible space design approach.
