A Contemporary Interpretation of Tradition in Mosque Design. Marmara Ilahiyat Mosque, Turkey
Get PDFIn recent years, the concept of contemporary mosque architecture has emerged in all Islamic countries. The goal of these structures which are produced using original designs, contemporary materials, technology and construction systems is to design structures which suit modern architectural concepts of today in the architecture of traditional mosques. Taken up with contemporary plan and form concepts rather than traditional plans, contemporary lines and interpretations are seen in liturgical elements such as the mihrap, dais, pulpit, gallerys, courtyard, fountain and minaret, which are indispensable elements of the mosque architecture in these mosques. One of the important points that is dwelled upon with these structures is their interior design. The aim of this study is to examine the design, layout features as well as the interior decoration of the Marmara Ilahiyat Mosque, which is one of our contemporarymosques that have been addressed in Turkey in the 20th century. With this goal, the structure’s overall layout, its interior space, decorative and liturgic elements as well as characteristics such as materials, technology and lighting have been examined in detail. As one of the important representatives of contemporary Turkish mosques, the structure is suitable for the land it was built on top of and the city fabric, that it interprets traditional architecture with modern styling, and that it takes its place in a significant position amongst contemporary Turkish mosques, as it is a unique example that achieves a contemporary and dynamic identity of Turkish-Islamic architectures by using today’s materials and techniques from a standpoint of traditional layout, plan elements and interior space embellishments
Mimaride Anlam; Yapıdaki “Sembolik Dil” Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme: Mimaride Anlam; Yapıdaki “Sembolik Dil” Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
No full textMimarlık simgesel bir söylem tarzıdır ve simgenin olmadığı yerde mimari yoktur. Kavram ve sembollerle biçimler arasındaki çok katmanlı ilişkinin doğası mimarlığın araçlarıdır. Bir iletişim aracı olarak mimarlık durağan değidir. Kültür, sosyal oluşumlar, inanç ve yaşam şekilleri onu etkiler. İnsanoğlunun tüm toplumsal ve din[1]sel doğasına biçim veren mimari, bir iletişim biçimi ve bir simgedir. Tüm sanat dalları gibi iletişimsel ve simgesel bir söylem kipi olan mimarlık, insan düşünce ve özleminin fiziksel bir temsili, ürettiği kültür değerleri ve inançlarının kaydıdır. Mimari nesnenin düzanlamı kültürel bir şifreyle belirlenmiş olan işlevdir. Ancak bu anlam üzerinde mimari nesneye “iletişimsel ve simgesel” nitelikli bir işlev veren ve işlev ve mimari nesnenin gösteren olarak birleştikleri bir yananlam düzeyi vardır. Mimarlık, kavramlar ve sembollerle çalışan bir iletişim dilidir ve bir mimar bunları biçimlerle dile getirir. Bu çalışmada göstergebilimsel çözümlemeler ile mağaradan başlayarak Post-Modernist dönem sonuna kadar bir gösterge ve anlatı olarak mimaride anlam, imge, sembol ve ileti olguları, seçilen örnekler üzerinden tartışılarak, yapıların ardındaki göstergelerin şifreleri ve izleyen bireylerle kurdukları diyaloğun tercümesi yapılmaya çalışılacaktır.Architecture is a symbol and a form of communication. Architecture, a symbolic mode of discourse like all branches of art, is a physical representation of human thought and yearning and a record of the cultural values and beliefs created thereby. Each building designs a message for one who can perceive it and again each building has a story it wants to relay to us. When correctly translated a building explains all social, political and economic phenomena which participates in and form the life. By the same token, when the theme of the building is grasped it is no more an ordinary architectural but also a cultural figure which is not just the personality and sound of an individual but of a nation lasting for hundreds of years ensuring the establishment of a complete communication. In this paper, the communicative and symbolic language used in architecture from the cave to Post-Modernism will be investigated and the stories that shape and determine the visual language constituting the comments of the codes and the dialog will be brought out
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The Art Déco Influence in the Modern Turkish Architecture of the Early Republican Period
Get PDFWith the proclamation of the Republic, Atatürk, the founder of Modern Turkey, wanted a new model of politics that would bring about the establishment of the “nation state”, also symbolized by architecture. Having decided to make a transition to modern architecture in Turkey, Atatürk invited academics from Germany and Vienna to achieve this. Consequently, by the 1930s, architecture followed a functionalistrationalist path in both public buildings and in residences. Another architectural style that wielded a lot of influence on the trends in the Modern Movement in this period was Art Déco. The plastic effect of mass in Art Déco was accompanied by purism. The purpose of th is article is to explore the characteristics of the Art Déco style in modern Turkish architecture, tracing it back to the 1930s, the time when a culture of architecture first began to form in Turkey, as Art Déco, in combination with rationalism, proved to be an influential force in Republican Turkey. The effect of this style on the composition of structural masses shall be described through examples of public and residential buildings. At the same time, an attempt shall be made to explore the connotations of contemporaneity, progress, technology, and industry as expressed in the vocabulary of the Republican ideology that embraced the mass aesthetic of the formal style that was Art Déco
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
