Increasing visual perception in architecture education: An architectural representation study
(intellect Ltd, 2021) Kutlu, İzzettin; Kutlu, Izzettin; Department of Architecture / Mimarlık Bölümü
Representation is a tool that facilitates the transfer of an idea. Architectural repre-sentations not only help differentiate the thoughts that the designer has in his mind, but also create a space where he can simplify what he has in mind when uploading it. This article makes a study on developing visual perception ability by including architecture students in the education process. Representation has become a necessary tool, especially in conveying thoughts. In this study, repre-sentation was analysed by architecture students through the five structures designed by Louis Kahn, one of the famous architects of the twentieth century. Students were asked to discover the remarkable features of buildings and produced 15 x 15 cm2 architectural representations. As a result, the student's perception of these buildings increased significantly and provided lesson hours to be more productive while creating architectural representations.

Post-occupancy evaluation: an expert-user-oriented model proposal based on key sustainability indicators
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025) Kutlu, Izzettin; Kutlu, İzzettin; Bekar, Irem; Erguen, Rusen; Department of Architecture / Mimarlık Bölümü
Purpose The user-oriented reusing of historical heritages is a powerful planning strategy to increase sustainability and provide socioeconomic benefits for cities. The study aims to determine the post-occupancy sustainability of reused historical buildings.Design/methodology/approach A holistic model was designed by considering expert and user opinions to select the post-occupancy sustainability of reused historical buildings. The proposed model was developed concerning key sustainability indicators (KSI). This proposed model, which integrates expert and user views, is examined in an educational building with significant cultural value in Mardin.Findings The results of the KSI model indicate that the functional, technical and environmental sustainability of the building are at a medium level, while the aesthetic sustainability is rated as good. An analysis of the differences between importance and performance shows that the largest gap is in functional sustainability, with the smallest gap in technical sustainability. The environmental and aesthetic sustainability indicators show a smaller performance gap than the other two. The results suggest that functional sustainability requires immediate intervention, technical features should be improved based on user needs and aesthetic and environmental sustainability require monitoring but no urgent action.Originality/value The originality of the research is that it proposes a model that combines expert opinion and the opinions of building users to monitor the sustainability of the reused buildings throughout the usage process and enables them to be monitored with key sustainability criteria and to develop improvement suggestions in line with the results obtained.
Scientific Mapping of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Applications in Historical Building Conservation
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Kutlu, İzzettin; Department of Architecture / Mimarlık Bölümü
The application of developing computer technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), and machine learning (ML) on digital image data can help in monitoring, controlling, and preserving cultural heritage buildings. Defects such as mortar losses, joint damage, discoloration, erosion, cracks, vegetation, leakage, and vandalism seen in cultural heritage buildings negatively affect their structural health. There are a limited number of studies on the use of artificial intelligence and integration at cultural heritage buildings. This study includes the research and bibliometric analysis of existing studies. In the study, structural damage detection techniques performed using AI-assisted image processing techniques are summarized, and deep learning techniques applied, especially in the conservation of heritage sites, are detailed. The study found a significant deficiency in the number of applications and research in this field, particularly within T & uuml;rkiye. AI-assisted digital inspections provide useful data for studies to be conducted in this field and increase the level of confidence in the damage detection of heritage buildings. As a result, today, artificial intelligence, the effective use of which is increasing rapidly, can be integrated into many fields and enables interdisciplinary studies.

Sequential Approach of the Re-Using the Historical Military Barrack in the Old Mardin Heritage in Turkey
(Assoc Profissional Conservadores-restauradores Portugal, 2022) Kutlu, İzzettin; Ilerisoy, Zeynep Yesim; Soyluk, Asena; Department of Architecture / Mimarlık Bölümü
The architectural features of the military barrack building in the Old Town Square of Mardin were examined in order to evaluate the compatibility of the interventions and annexes with regard to contemporary conservation principles. The method of the study is based on determining the changing mass and function relationships in the historical structure by tracing technique for sequential time periods. Considering the transformation of the building from the barrack to the tax office, it was seen that the required changes damaged the original condition of the building. This situation was tried to be minimized in transformation from tax office to museum, and interventions were made according to the original condition of the building. As a result, it was concluded that instead of changing the mass scale or shape of the structure, the contemporary additions or interventions should be completely proportional to the structure, and contribute to the sense of historical pattern.

A Simplified Analytical Modeling Approach for the Structural Analysis of Massive Masonry Structures
(Univ Estadual Maringa, Pro-reitoria Pesquisa Pos-graduacao, 2025) Kutlu, İzzettin; Kutlu, Izzettin; Soyluk, Asena; Department of Architecture / Mimarlık Bölümü
This paper, presents a simplified analytical modeling approach to determine the structural behavior of historical buildings. Analytical modeling is a digital tool for determining the behavior of masonry buildings under the influence of dynamic and static loads. In the analytical modeling process, different types of elements are involved to represent buildings. Due to the complex geometrical features of historical buildings, it is significant to the preference for convenient elements. Mardin Great Mosque was discussed and analyzed for the selection of convenient element preferences. Three different mosque models were built and analyzed by using three different element types (frame, shell, solid). In the findings of the paper, the values at the same points on the models were compared. When the first natural vibration period was examined, the first model is 0.76sec, the second model is 0.76sec, and the third model is 0.71sec. In addition, considering the base shear under dead load, 98.35% similarity was observed. As a consequence of the geometrical features of historical buildings, inappropriate definitions and inconvenient element preferences emerge the results questionable. Therefore, to be able to manage the analytical modeling process effectively requires accurate and appropriate definitions of the elements to be preferred.
