Özet:

Abstract Facades, which are the faces of buildings and cities, are elements that affect the city and the user with their designs. In facade design, the decisions such as shape, size, scale and the color design of the surface with equal weight and the color of the coating material used are also very important. Today, urban and building transformations are taking place rapidly with the increasing population, migration to cities and increasing construction activities. In this case, the use of color changes along with the existing residential and facade texture in the city. It is observed that cold colors such as gray, black and brown are preferred especially in buildings built in the last 10 years. While these changes have a legal basis in terms of building scale, they are generally not available in color selection. In this case, it is understood that the choice of colors on the facades is not solely the designer-user responsibility. At this point, material-product producers and designers are effective. Because there is no legal obligation or basis, there are no restrictions in terms of color in material design and production, and the available material and color options determined by the material producers and designers guide the designer and user preferences. In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of material / product designers’ material decisions on the layout texture over a determined study area. For this purpose, an area was determined according to various criteria in Kadikoy district of Istanbul province, where the rate of change is high. In this context, it was determined that 215 new buildings, whose function was residential, were built between 2010-2018 in this study area, whose boundaries were determined. All of these buildings are covered with siding; Analyzes were made by examining material, color, texture and size properties. It was determined that four (4) types of facade cladding materials were used in 215 buildings examined. However, since it was determined that the most used exterior cladding material with 117 buildings; The ceramic material producers in these buildings were determined, a questionnaire was conducted with the material / product designers and their effects on the material selection were investigated.
