EVALUATION OF TRANSITIONAL SPACE DESIGNS IN TERMS OF VISUAL PERCEPTION PARAMETERS

Abstract

The concept of adaptive reuse is primarily applied to historical buildings and industrial heritage structures, but it can also be utilized for various undefined building types. This study examines the criteria followed in the transformation of warehouse-type spaces during the expansion and transformation of urban university campuses. It explores how these approaches contribute to the creation of spatial identity and the perceptual parameters that influence interior design. This study, conducted in accordance with the conceptual framework, is analyzed through a specific example. In this context, the entrance and foyer areas of an inner-city university building are examined, highlighting the functional transition from the old to the new and analyzing the interior arrangement. The evaluation of how spaces that serve as transitional areas in architectural design can be effectively utilized in university buildings is illustrated through this example. The identified visual perception parameters are categorized into three main groups: the first group includes hierarchy, dominance, and orientation; the second group encompasses asymmetrical balance; and the third group focuses on light and color. The findings derived from the design analysis are discussed, and their relationships with the evaluation criteria are elucidated. In conclusion, the results of the adaptive reuse of undefined warehouse-type spaces and their transformation into transitional areas are assessed.
