HOUSING.FLEXIBILITY: A FRAMEWORK FOR A QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION METHOD DUE TO TURKISH DESIGNERS

Purpose Flexibility became an important factor affecting the quality of housing projects in Turkey nowadays due to the requirement of the permanent mobile/dynamic lifestyle. Thus, a responsive housing design should be developed to allow modifications that respond to the changing demands of the ten...

Thus, a responsive housing design should be developed to allow modifications that respond to the changing demands of the tenants through time. Although it is a major debate in housing design for many years in western countries; the Turkish perspective of housing ignores the adjustment to changing needs and compensates it with big-sized dwellings, causing space consumption.

Design/Methodology/Approach In order to establish a Flexibility Assessment System, Value Engineering method is applied, a tool used in decision-making process to choose the ideal solutions.
