Ergonomıc Reflectıon Of Trıangle Sectıon Wooden Housıng: A-Frame Building Ergonomics

Abstract

In the literature, the application of structures defined as triangular sections or A frames in bungalows for tourism purposes and residential buildings for personal use has become increasingly common. It is thought that triangular buildings that go beyond the usual rectangular or square section structures create various questions for both architects and user candidates due to the acute angles formed in the interior. The hypothesis of the study is that one of the important reasons for less diversity in building sections is environmental and physical ergonomics. The second hypothesis is; with the right design, negative ergonomic effects can be minimized. From this point of view, in the study, the long-term use effect and ergonomic reflections of triangular structures were investigated. As an example; the project design processes, interior design and construction process follow-up were examined by the author. As a method, firstly, the literature was scanned with the general survey model, which is one of the qualitative research methods, and then a documentary scan was made from the documents in the author's archive. Afterwards, a semi-structured interview was conducted with users who have been actively using the structure for about a year. The building, which has been implemented in the province of Kırklareli, has been used by the owners for a year. For this reason, a significant feedback could be obtained from those who directly experienced the ease and difficulties of using triangular section structures. When the findings were evaluated; It has been observed that the answers may change in continuous use or if there are young people among the users. For the current user profile; It has been seen that flat walls that can be created indoors, specially designed furniture and arrangement of the design in cubic meters, not square meters, can provide solutions. Study; It is thought that it is important to make an academic evaluation about the increasing number of triangular sectional structures, to transfer user thoughts to the literature and to benefit the more usefulness of such structures to be applied in the future.
