Using Fuzzy Logic Based Decision Support Systems for New Function Selection In Structures

Abstract

These buildings, which function as important documents for the period in which they were built, and which have managed to preserve their original qualities, have been abandoned as a result of various some factors and have lose their functionality. It is very important to continue to use these original structures, which have since lost their functionality, with re-functioning as opposed to a passive conservation approach. Architectural decision support systems, used to create a solution mechanism can assist architects in deciding on the most appropriate function option for building by systematizing the relationship between spatial analysis of the existing building stock and functional expectations. Accordingly, the results were observed by using fuzzy logic method in order to determine the most suitable function option before the design and construction phases for reuse of the building were started.
