AYÇA TARTAR

・Postdoctoral Researcher
・Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, Turkey

Ayca Tartar holds a PhD in Department of Architecture, Building Sciences Program, in Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. Her thesis “Floating Architecture Design Process Modeling Supported by Rule Based Decision Making” inherits a transdiciplinary approach as she worked with Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding departments focusing on using fuzzy logic to support decision making process. Following her PhD she gave lectures for master and undergraduate courses about floating cities, floating performance centers, yacht interior designs with a team of researchers from Delft University made collaborations with design informatics department and published several papers for international conferences. She has also completed her master degree in Building Sciences Program with a thesis on “Light Steel Construction Technology and Design Possibilities”. After studying light steel technology in her master thesis she worked on floating urban water spaces design process modeling with fuzzy logic. Today she is interested in using information architecture in designing floating cities. Her research aims to focus on urban water space design process and manufacture techniques. Purpose of her study is to develop a new design strategy for the floating building construction design management with applying recent advances in the fields of new materials and information architecture. She wants to use the experience gained carrying out her research in information architecture and use the insights for floating building design management. Research facilities of other departments such as Naval Architecture, Shipbuilding and information architecture should be used in joint in her studies. She believes that interaction between universities and students is the only way for an efficient theoretical and practical approach to design.

Peter Buš

・Postdoctoral Researcher & Lecturer
・Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, Slovak

Peter is a Postdoctoral researcher and a co-leader of Digital Urban Simulation course at the Chair of Information Architecture. Trained as an architect and researcher in the field of computational design modelling he focuses on generative models and advanced urban simulations that can help architects and urban planners in the decision-making, planning and design processes. Peter’s long-term research is based on an investigation of phenomenon of emergence and urban autopoiesis in terms of self-creation and self-organisation of bottom-up urban patterns. Peter focuses on local-scale phenomena in behavioural urban models in order to identify patterns, potentials and strategies how to improve conditions for a livability in an investigated environment. By means of visual language which is being developed within the framework of custom-based computational models and visualisations he concentrates on more complex relations which forms the urban entirety.
