Spanning Openings in Brick Walls01:20

Spanning Openings in Brick Walls

In brick wall construction, supporting structures are crucial for openings like windows and doors to maintain the integrity and support the weight of the wall above. These supports include lintels, corbels, and arches, each serving specific structural purposes.
Lintels are primary supports used to span openings and can be crafted from materials such as reinforced concrete, steel-reinforced brick masonry, or simple steel angles. These are straightforward to install and are typically concealed...
Polymer Classification: Architecture01:14

Polymer Classification: Architecture

Polymers are classified as linear or branched on the basis of their chain architecture. The polymer chains in linear polymers have a long chain-like structure with minimal to no branching at all. Even if a polymer features large substituent groups on the monomer, which appear as branches to the skeleton, it is not considered a branched polymer. A branched polymer contains secondary polymer chains that arise from the main polymer chain. The branching occurs when the polymer growth shifts from...
Reinforced Brick Masonry01:15

Reinforced Brick Masonry

Reinforced brick masonry is an advanced construction technique that enhances the structural integrity of brick walls by incorporating steel reinforcements. These reinforcements are either placed within the hollow cores of bricks or sandwiched between two layers of masonry, known as wythes, and are then secured in place with grout. Grout is a fluid mixture composed of Portland cement, aggregate, and water, providing the necessary bonding agent for the steel and brick.
To fortify brick walls...
Masonry01:28

Masonry

Masonry, known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic versatility, encompasses construction with solid stone or man-made units like bricks, clay tiles, terra cotta, and concrete blocks, combined to form structures like walls, floors, and arches. These units are placed in a systematic fashion, known as coursing, and are bound together using mortar—a mixture typically made of water, cement, and sand.
The process of building with masonry is hands-on and can be executed with basic tools. A...
Masonry Curtain Walls01:20

Masonry Curtain Walls

Masonry curtain walls employ brick or stone veneers supported by the building's structure to form an external cladding system that is both aesthetically appealing and functional. These walls are erected through two principal techniques, first by traditional layering of masonry units and second by using prefabricated panels. Traditional construction relies on steel shelf angles attached to the spandrel beam for support, with high-bond mortars ensuring secure attachment of masonry veneer units.
Brick Masonry01:12

Brick Masonry

Brick masonry uses bricks as the building blocks and involves building walls from individual bricks laid in mortar. The basic building block of brick masonry is the wythe, a vertical layer of bricks with a thickness of one brick. Within a wythe, bricks can be laid in various courses or patterns, with the most common being the stretcher course, where bricks are laid with their long edge horizontal and face parallel to the wall.
For thicker walls, multiple wythes are bonded together using...

Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Architecture
  • Critical Theory
  • Urban Studies

Background:

  • The 1999 Kocaeli earthquake devastated Turkey, prompting profound reflection on societal reconstruction.
  • Theodor W. Adorno's dictum 'To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric' raises questions about art's role post-catastrophe.
  • Necdet Teymur, a prominent architect, posed 'Is architecture possible after 17th of August?' in response to the earthquake.

Observation:

  • Teymur's question serves as a critical lens to examine the ethical and political dimensions of architecture.
  • The article analyzes the parallels between Adorno's philosophical critique and Teymur's architectural inquiry.
  • The universality and particularity of Adorno's dictum are explored in the context of architectural practice.

Findings:

  • Adorno's critical theory offers a framework for re-evaluating architectural practices and technology after disaster.
  • Teymur's question highlights the need for a more ethically grounded and politically aware approach to architecture in Turkey.
  • The study provides a novel interpretation of critical architectural thought by linking it to Adorno's philosophy.

Implications:

  • This work contributes to the discourse on the politics and ethics of architecture, particularly in post-disaster contexts in Turkey.
  • It encourages a deeper understanding of how philosophical critiques can inform architectural theory and practice.
  • The findings advocate for a more responsible and critical engagement with architectural technology and its societal impact.
