A STUDY ON THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FACADE ELEMENT, WHICH IS AN URBAN INTERFACE, WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM

Abstract

Global globalization, advances in technology and population growth have caused urban and environmental problems in parallel with the uncontrolled consumption of the natural resources we have. As a developing country, Turkey has worked hard to address the environmental problems arising from population growth and economic growth and to find ways of development without reducing the quality of life in terms of economic and social aspects. At the beginning of these studies, energy consumption is the source of the problems. The fact that the fossil resources that make up the vast majority of the current energy sources are about to be depleted in the next century has accelerated the search for non-exhaustive and renewable energy sources. For this reason, in recent years, researchers have been working on the use of sustainable building design both on a data that directs the design process of nature and on the concept of renewable energy in order to make efficient use of natural data. In this context, the genetic algorithm approach is one of nature-based productive approaches developed as a model for the development of natural evolution. The aim of this study is to form the architectural design process of natural data and to produce renewable energy as sustainable data. In this context, it is aimed to consider an urban design in a different way and to reproduce the facade element, which is an urban interface to generate energy, by genetic algorithm. As a method, the effect of the façade, which is an urban interface, has been evaluated as a sustainable element of the city and hospital usage with the algorithm created in five steps. In the scope of this study, a special solar crusher design, which is thought to be designed in the front of the patient care rooms on the western and southern fronts in Yozgat city hospital, is used as a sustainable element in order to prevent the sun rays from breaking and overheating of the interiors and aiming to convert the solar rays to electrical.
