Article Assessment of Artificial Lighting Conditions in Sunlight-Deprived Classrooms(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2025) Duyan, Fazila; Kaplan, ElifNumerous studies on classroom lighting emphasize a close and significant relationship between students' concentration, comprehension of course content, and the efficiency of activities such as drawing, writing, and practices, with the lighting conditions. In this context, it is particularly important to properly design both the physical and psychological effects of artificial lighting, especially in sunlight-deprived classrooms. This study examines the artificial lighting conditions of a classroom located in the basement of a university building, which has no visual connection to the outdoors. The classroom is utilized by students from the departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Industrial Design. The study investigates the effects of current artificial lighting on students, focusing on aspects such as visual perception satisfaction, light colour, illuminance level, glare, and the temporal light modulation effect. To assess students' perception of the existing lighting conditions, an online questionnaire was administered, and a total of 104 students (65 female, 39 male) who had previous experience with the classroom participated in the study. Technical measurements of the existing luminaires were conducted, and the classroom was digitally modelled using the DIALux Evo lighting software. The collected data were analysed using the SPSS statistical analysis program. The findings of the study indicate that students perceived the artificial lighting conditions as inadequate in terms of visual comfort. Moreover, based on technical measurements, simulations, and user evaluations, it was determined that the existing luminaires caused glare and temporal light modulation effects, negatively affecting the classroom environment.Article Reading Basic Design Principles Through Modern Architectural Structures(Nilay Ozsavas Ulucay, 2023) Yıldırım Coruk, İ.; Coruk, Ipek YildirimBasic design principles are taught within the scope of basic design education in the first-year studios. Basic design education and its content have different dimensions from the education system the student previously received due to its structure and difficulty comprehending because it contains new literature for the student and often has abstract educational content. On the other hand, the students have difficulty perceiving the information acquired in this course and question how they can benefit from it in the following years and professional life. Therefore, the aim of the study is to analyze the basic design principles through modern architectural structures. In the study created by qualitative research method, the data were obtained by analyzing the principles mentioned in the determined examples. These examples were selected among the Bauhaus and later modern buildings by considering the role of the Bauhaus school, where the basic design principles emerged in the spread of modern architecture, and the scope of the study was created. As a result of the study, concrete uses and equivalents of basic design principles were revealed with the determined examples. Thus, data on how students will benefit from basic design principles have been revealed. © 2023, Nilay OZSAVAS ULUCAY.

Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Archivers recorded them at the Ministry of Culture's inventory as "promotional thesis" and organised them in 330 files from folders 1 to 34. The General Directorate of Classics and Museums demanded such theses from museologists for promotional purposes. Contents and constructs of dissertations about different fields and subjects featured important references. Therefore, these theses have a characteristic to enlarge the scale of research topics or enhance efforts leading to literature scanning for respective research subjects. Thirty-seven of 330 theses with known dates and authors included important information in architectural history and were investigated in the doctoral thesis study. Such 37 dissertations covering the period 1943-1973 were prepared considering Law on Organization of Museums and Observatories numbered 2530 enacted in TGNA on 23rd June 1934. It is the first legal arrangement in Turkish museology's history to officially register museums as separate institutions causing a leap in Turkish museology as of its effective date. With this law, guidebooks illuminating cities' architectural history written by museologists between 1930s and 1970s and published by the Board of Education and Ministry of Culture were prepared alongside promotional theses - products of Turkish museology's progress. This study illustratively evaluates promotional theses written based on law dated 1934 in architectural history. With the study of the 37 theses, written between 1943 and 1973, detection of another respective thesis in the archive and determination of the relevant legislative link and reasoning behind has gained critical importance. When we look at the selection of the topics of the promotion thesis, we see a great variety and substantiality in the subjects. Additionally, it has been targeted to inspire the researchers who have studied in the fields of the topics of respective thesis and their topics. The subjects in these archive documents are archaeological sites, single building scale, urban history studies and period studies. Within the scope of this article, one example of these topics has been selected. The thesis chosen as an example of archaeological sites is Raci Temizer's thesis entitled "Ayazmayeni Koyu Kayapinar Hoyugu Buluntulari" written in 1952. Another thesis is the subject of a single structure scale and M. Hadi Altay's thesis titled "Revan Kosku", written in 1958. The third thesis is an example of urban history studies titled "Kastamonu Eski Eserler Kilavuzu" and it was written by Ahmet Gokoglu in 1949. The last sample promotion thesis chosen as a period study belongs to the Cengiz Koseoglu. The title of the promotion thesis written in 1970 is "Maras'ta Dulkadiroglu Mimarisi". A detailed text about these theses is included in this article study. In addition, the catalogues of these four sample theses, which have been prepared in accordance with the A3 format in the excel file, have been included in the study. The differentiation of promotion theses in catalogues has been in the form of placing only selected sample pages from the text pages and turning all the images contained in the theses into one or more tables. Due to these catalogues, promotion theses have become more descriptive, and evaluations of these theses have been made in detail in many ways. Consequently, this article also emphasises the benefit of this cataloguing method applied for promotion theses. All theses, just like the other theses in the archive of Cultural Assets and Museums General Directorate, are the product of culture policies that started to be applied in the fields of historical works and museums in the Early Republic Period. As stated in the respective acts of law, the promotion of the museum officials as a result of their scientific works prepared in their workplace museums is very important. In addition, the museum officials' examining the architectural works in their theses, both in a visual and literal way is also very important in showing the significance of the contribution of this work not only to the history of architecture but also art history, restoration, archaeology and any other related fields. The Museum Officials criteria in determining the aims for selecting the topics of their theses from filling the gaps in the literature topics, contributing to the museum they work for or working in the fields of their interest or curiosity, shows not only the great contribution of the theses to the Turkish Museum History but also proves that they were prepared in a way to capture the fields of architecture and art history. This study aims to emphasise the importance of this point as well. In order for researchers and scientists to access the data in the theses and use this data in their own studies, it is necessary to reveal these theses contained in the ministry archive.
