Abstract

From past to present, people have provided themselves with shelter and living environments by using their instincts, imitating nature and, at times, intervening in nature. Spaces that integrate with nature and nature forms have been created through unconsciously acquired ideas from nature, images and experiences that remain in the memories. This practice of designing, which was acquired in ancient times, appears as the design concept of spaces that integrate with life and nature forms in architecture today. One of them is biophilic design, which is a design approach that offers nature-based sustainable solutions by taking inspiration from nature in designers' search for form. Based on this approach, it is aimed to provide students with an understanding of design that is integrated with and inspired by nature in the studio experience carried out in the Basic Design course, which is the fundamental step in ensuring the multifaceted development of creative thinking skills. In the first stage of the study, students were expected to choose natural sources of inspiration and to design two-dimensional patterns inspired by these sources. In the final stage, students were asked to transform the patterns into a design product in the form of urban furniture and to model it in three dimensions. Artificial pattern models, created by using basic design elements and principles and inspired by nature, were evaluated within the scope of the biomorphic forms and patterns parameter of biophilic design. As a result, the importance of basic design education, which can be used as a tool to gain a nature-based perspective in the approaches of landscape architecture students to the concept of design, has been revealed. It is also emphasized that the biophilic design approach creates different perspectives for landscape architect candidates.

İnsanlar geçmişten bugüne içgüdülerini kullanarak, doğayı taklit ederek zaman zaman da doğaya müdahalede bulunarak kendilerine barınma ve yaşama ortamı sağlamışlardır. Bilinçsizce doğadan edinilen fikirler, belleklerde kalan imgeler ve deneyimler ile doğanın içinde, doğa formlarıyla bütünleşen mekânlar yaratılmıştır. Eski çağlarda edinilen bu tasarlama eylemi, bugün mimaride yaşam ve doğa formlarıyla bütünleşen mekânların tasarım anlayışı olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bunlardan birisi de tasarımcılar için biçim arayışları konusunda doğadan ilham alarak doğa temelli sürdürülebilir çözümler sunan tasarım yaklaşımı olan biyofilik tasarımdır. Bu yaklaşımdan yola çıkarak, yaratıcı düşünme becerisinin çok yönlü gelişiminin sağlanabilmesi için temel basamak olan Temel Tasarım dersinde gerçekleştirilen stüdyo çalışmasında doğa ile bütünleşen ve doğadan esinlenen tasarım anlayışının öğrencilere kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında öğrencilerden doğal esin kaynaklarını seçmeleri ve bu örneklerden ilham alarak iki boyutlu örüntüler elde etmeleri beklenmiştir. Son aşama olarak örüntülerin bir kent mobilyası olarak tasarım ürününe dönüştürülmesi ve 3 boyutlu modellemeleri istenmiştir. Temel tasarım öğe ve ilkeleri kullanılarak oluşturulan ve doğadan esinlenilen yapay örüntü modelleri, biyofilik tasarımda biyomorfik formlar ve örüntüler parametresi kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak peyzaj mimarlığı öğrencilerinin tasarım olgusuna yaklaşım sürecinde doğa temelli bakış açısının kazandırılması için bir araç olarak kullanılabilecek temel tasarım eğitiminin önemi ortaya konmuştur ve biyofilik tasarımın peyzaj mimarı adayları için farklı perspektifler oluşturması vurgulanmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Biyofilik tasarım, biyomorfik form, örüntü, temel tasarım
