Publication Open Access Investigating the role of Entropy in Design Evaluation Process: A Case Study on Municipality Buildings(2017-07) GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; 187152The concept of entropy, which can be used to measure physical disorder, has been rediscovered by Shannon to measure the irregularity in information. Entropy measurements are made by considering one or more factors. Specific features such as color, shape, element type, height, material related with architectural compositions can be considered as factors and the amount of information carried by the building depending on one or more of these factors can be measured. In this study, it is questioned whether there is a relationship between entropy values of municipal building competition projects, which are measured in relation to the factors, and the building is considered successful by the competition jury. In order to conduct this examination, the entropy values of the projects, which respected to the same architectural program and won various awards in the project competitions were calculated. Before making comparisons, measurements were made according to solid-void ratios on the plan layout, the shapes of closed and discrete spaces, and the distribution of functions. A discussion was made on the usability of entropy method in the design phase, which gave solid and precise results according to the results of the comparisons.Publication Embargo A Design Evaluation Model For Architectural Competitions: Measuring Entropy Of Multiple Factors In The Case Of Municipality Buildings(2018-03) Şener, Sinan Mert; GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNEL; 187152; 120245Various types of information embedded in the built environment or buildings can be measured by using methods such as entropy to give objective, precise and quantitative results. Jury evaluation is a process where buildings are evaluated subjectively without predefined selection criteria, and that criteria are weighted. The model developed in this study investigates the relationship between entropy values calculated for buildings, and the success obtained as a result of the jury evaluation. Since both design and jury evaluation are not dependent on a single factor, the relationship between single entropy values and the success of the projects cannot be questioned. Therefore, the model being developed in this study handles 5 different entropy values calculated according to 5 factors, weighted independently, and finds total entropy values. To achieve similar results to jury evaluation, a non-dominated sorting algorithm for weighting factors was utilized in relation to an inverted U graph. By finding the weighting between the entropy values, the study aims to resolve a parametric foundation for jury evaluation. Within the scope of this study, 24 municipality building projects designed for architectural project competition between 2015 and 2016 in Turkey, and which have received awards have been evaluated.Publication Metadata only An entropy-based design evaluation model for architectural competitions through multiple factors(MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2019-11) Şener, Sinan Mert; GÜZELCİ, ORKAN ZEYNELGenerally, the evaluations in architectural competitions are based on quality where many criteria are involved. Additionally, many other inter-related criteria, identified by the members of the jury, emerge during jury evaluation. Hence, a great number of criteria play a role, with varying degrees of importance, in the evaluation process. The order of importance and weights of criteria (factors) in the evaluation phases are not fixed and differ according to the approaches of the jury members. The objective of this study is to investigate whether subjective means of evaluation can be associated with an objective and computable evaluation model. Entropy, an objective method used to measure disorder in buildings, offers significant potential in enhancing the comprehensibility of subjective tendencies in jury evaluation of architectural competitions. Previous studies have identified an inverted U relationship between entropy and subjective responses based on single and multiple factors. The Entropy-Based Design Evaluation Model (EBDEM), a method, analyzes the level of objectivity in jury evaluation and questions the predictability of evaluations through examining the relationship between the entropy values of projects and success outcomes. The Weighted Overall Entropy (WOE) was obtained by multiplying multiple factor entropy values with different weight coefficients with the purpose of ranking each project on an inverted U graph similar to jury results. The relationship between WOE values calculated and the ranking of the projects in the competitions were investigated. The findings within this study indicate that there are no relationships between single factor entropy values and ranking of the projects. Additionally, it was found that WOE values calculated for single-competition compared to multiple-competitions were more similar to jury evaluation results.
