Identity of the Design Process: Digital VS Visual

Abstract

Architectural activities have gone through different changes in the recent time due to the increase of technological improvement and the need to change the traditional architectural work to the modern lifestyles. but for the concern of the identity on the architecture and the Design process is yet to be cleared out. The definition of identity is considered not cleared in the modern time and in the digital world, the approaches under the design process differ from one project to the another and all are guided by the end result which the designer is concerned with. In relation to the design process, manual ways were the solution to designing of different types structures and buildings. With the technological introduction in architectural design, digital and visual design has been incorporated in the field of the design process. The practice itself became driven by digital technologies, which is illustrated by the different amusing architectural forms. This could not have been achieved without the huge change in theories and philosophy which started with the use of the new digital media tools for the manufacturing development and design rather than just representations. Implementation of these tools in the architectural educational Is still something being developed by many sectors and considered a huge challenge because these technologies need to be understood and used right rather than being overwelled by what they can offer. The use of digital tools in the design process and their rapid advances has opened new ways of exploration and architecture thrives to grow from these tools through theories and different approaches. Case studies and surveys from different countries and aspects have showed that there is a considerable progress made when combining new designing tools into the design process, whether it’s in the education at an early stage or in a professional practice, mainly because it opening many ways and discovering more suitable sustainable solutions.

ÖZ:Gectigimiz zamandan bugune mimari calismalar bazi degisimler gecirdi, bunun sebebi teknoloji imkanlarinin artisi ve geleneksel mimari calismalarin modern hayata uygun hale getirilme geregi. Fakat mimarlik ve tasarimin sahsiyetini belirmek henuz netlestirilmedi. Modern zaman ve yeni teknoloji dunyasinda mimarligin sahsiyet tanimi henuz netlestirilmedi, bu tasarim surecinde her projeye yaklasim daha farkli oluyor ve bunlarin hepsi sonuca bagli sekilde yonlendiriliyor. Tasarim surecine bagli olarak, bina ve yapilandirmalar onceden el cabasi ile tasarlanirdi. Teknoloji ilerledikce, tasarim surecine dijital, gorsel tasarim dahil edildi. Uygulamalar ve alistirmalar dahi bu teknolojilerle yonetilmeye basladi, bu teknikler zevkli yontemler ile olustulmaya basladi. Teknolojinin sundugu bu imkanlar ve medya araclari olmadan, sunumlarin disinda, teori ve filosofideki bu buyuk degisimler elde edilemezdi. Mimarlik egitiminde kullanilan arac ve teknikler, bircok sektor tarafindan hala gelistiriliyor, fakat buyuk bir zorluk diye algilaniyor cunki sunacabileceklerinden ezilmek yerine bu yeni tekniklerin dogru anlasilmasi gerekiyor. Bu digital araclarin tasarim surecindeki asiri hizli gelisimleri yeni arastirma yontemlerine kapi acti, ve mimarlik bu araclar ve teoriler ve farkli yaklasimlar ile buyumeye devam etmek istiyor. vi Dunyanin farkli yerlerinde ve farkli goruslere gore yapilan arastirmalar gosteriyorki yeni araclarin kullanimi ile tasarim surecini birlestirince, ister egitimin ilk asamasinda, ister profosyenel calismalarda verdigi kolaylik ve sundugu imkanlar ile epey gelisimin oldugu goruluyor. Anahtar Kelimeler : Teknolojik Gelisim, Sahsiyet, Mimari Tasarim, Gorsel Tasarim, Digital Teknoloji, Mimarlik Egitimi, Tasarim Sureci.
