Abstract:

 The fact that built environments, which are necessary for people to survive by hosting organizations such as shelters, work, and service cannot meet the functional needs over time, creating a problem for investors, owners, and users. The way to deal with these problems is to have a flexible building design to suit the new conditions to change the capacity, function, and performance. The façade, which is highly affected by indoor and physical environmental conditions; should have a modular, similar, adaptable, and detachable system. In this study, façades with these systems are designed with fractal geometry features that mathematically define the complexity, self-similarity, and access to the macro scale from the micro scales. In conclusion, a façade system that can adapt to changes by making use of a fractal pattern and provide daylight and solar control in the interior with the electrical voltage applied to the glass surface has been proposed.

 Barınma, çalışma, servis gibi organizasyonları içinde barındıran ve insanların yaşamlarını sürdürebilmeleri için gerekli olan yapılı çevrelerin zaman içinde fonksiyonel ihtiyaçları karşılayamaması yatırımcılar, mal sahipleri ve kullanıcılar için sorun oluşturmaktadır. Bu sorunlarla başa çıkmanın yolu, kapasiteyi, işlevi ve performansı değiştirmek için yeni koşullara uygun esnek binalar tasarlanmasıdır. Binaların işlevi ile fiziki çevre koşullarından üst düzeyde etkilenen bina elemanı olan cephenin esnek tasarıma sahip olması için modüler, uyarlanabilir, benzer, sökülüp takılabilir özellikte olması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, bu özelliklere sahip cepheler, karmaşıklığı, kendine benzerliği ve mikro ölçeklerden makro ölçeğe erişimi matematiksel olarak tanımlayan fraktal geometri özelliklerinden faydalanarak tasarlanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, cam yüzeye uygulanan elektrik voltajı ile iç mekanda gün ışığı ve güneş kontrolü sağlayan, fraktal desenden faydalanarak değişikliklere uyum sağlayabilen dinamik ve esnek bir cephe sistemi önerilmiştir.
