Designed by Balyan Family: the Sa'dabad Mosque
(Yıldız Technical Univ Fac Architecture, 2015) Alioğlu, Emine Füsun
Sa'adabad Mosque was built as an imperial mosque in the Tulip period (1718-1730) which corresponds to the reign of Ahmet III. The mosque was built in an area very popular in the Tulip Period at Kagithane and not in traditional districts of Istanbul such as the historic peninsula Uskudar or Eyup. This unusual choice of location is a reflection of the characteristics of its time. At the second half of the century new and different concepts in architecture were assessed in the Ottoman land and especially in urban Istanbul. Tulip Period was a period when western influences were first and naively flourished in the built environment. For the first time decoration program outside of the classical canon of Ottoman architecture were witnessed on details of the decorative elements such as doors windows and inscriptions and fountains as the focus of urban space were set at the centers of the squares and construction activity gained pace extramuros. The most fascinating work of the period is the Sa'adabad Palace built outside the historic peninsula by the Kagithane Creek. Sa'dabad Mosque was built in 1135/1722 within the Sa'dabad Palace. It was repaired at the times of Selim III (HD. 1789-1807) and Mahmut II (HD. 1808-1839). The original architecture of the mosque is unknown. Because the existing mosque was rebuilt by Abdulaziz (HD. 1861-1876) in 1279/1862 it is identified as the Aziziye Mosque after the Sultan Abdulaziz as well. The architect of this last mosque is the Balyan Family who had significant role at the construction activity of the period. It is accepted that Architect Sarkis Balyan together with his brother Agop Balyan were responsible from the construction.

The Effect of Reverberation Time and Signal-To Ratio on Word Recognition Scores by Adults and Children in Classrooms
(Yıldız Technical Univ, 2019) Şaher, Konca; Karaböce, Baki
This paper seeks to assess the effect of reverberation time, distribution of reverberation time over the frequency range and signal-to-noise ratio on speech intellibility by adults and children in classrooms by the use of phonetically balanced monosyllabic Turkish word recognition tests. Two sets of 25-items phonetically balanced monosyllabic Turkish words were recorded in a full anechoic chamber. Auralizations of the recordings were developed in an acoustic simulation software for a range of reverberation time of 0,8 seconds (average of 500 Hz, 1000 Hz ve 2000 Hz), 0,4 seconds (average of 500 Hz, 1000 Hz ve 2000 Hz) and 0,4 seconds (125-4000 Hz) and two signal-to-noise ratios of 0 dB and 15dB in a typical classroom. Listening tests developed from auralizations were presented to adults and children. The results show that when reverberation time (average of 500 Hz, 1000 Hz ve 2000 Hz) is reduced from 0.8 seconds to 0.4 seconds for both signal-to-noise ratios of 0 dB and 15 dB, the percentage of speech recognition scores increases in both adults and children. However, in case of 0 dB signal-to-noise, when the reverberation time falls from 0.4 seconds (average of 500 Hz, 1000 Hz ye 2000 Hz) to 0.4 seconds (125-4000 Hz) while there is no significant improvement in the word recognition scores by adults, there is a significant improvement in childrens' scores. For the 15 dB signal-to-noise ratio case, reverberation time of 0,4 seconds (125 - 4000 Hz) does not have a notable impact on word recognition scores for both children and adults.
