HIDDEN GEOMETRY IN BLADE RUNNER 2049 PHOTOGRAPHY

Abstract

This study examined the hidden geometry in the photography of Blade Runner 2049, an Oscar-winning film in cinematography. This study with an epistemological and historical hermeneutical approach used a qualitative method of a descriptive and relational nature and was based on critical theory. The content and composition of the files were explored. The instruments consisted of the superposition of different reinforcements, and they were measured from the root of the square and the size of the frame dimensions of the images. In the 1664 scanned frames, relationships with the variables of pictorial works were evaluated. Up to 15 elements of the visual design associated with the trusses were identified, among which stand out: the baroque diagonal, the abatement, the 90-degree angles, and the arabesques. This research provides evidence that Blade Runner 2049 adopts the occult geometry used by the Egyptians, ancient Greeks, and the Renaissance, among other artists.

Assessment of reinforced concrete building damages following the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Malatya, Turkey (February 6, 2023)

Abstract

Earthquakes of magnitude Mw = 7.7 and Mw = 7.6 hit the city of Kahramanmaraş (Turkey) on 6 February 2023. These earthquakes caused serious damage in 11 provinces in Turkey resulting in over 50,000 deaths and huge economic losses with the collapse of thousands of buildings. Two consecutive devastating earthquakes have severely damaged the reinforced concrete building stock located in Malatya. There are many reasons reinforced concrete structures suffer damage under the influence of seismic loads. These reasons can be listed as material and section properties that do not comply with earthquake codes, workmanship defects, ground parameters that are not considered and design errors, as seen in field investigations after earthquakes in Turkey in the past. In this research, a field study was conducted on reinforced concrete buildings damaged after the earthquakes in Malatya province. The causes of structural damages in reinforced concrete buildings between 6–26 years of age were assessed in terms of design and material defects. The structural damages were mainly caused due to insufficient stirrups in structural members, short column, strong beam–weak column, failures of infill walls, soft story type collapse, poor concrete quality, and reinforcement corrosion. In addition to the field investigation, the spectrum relationships created using raw acceleration data obtained from DEMP (Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency) stations in Malatya province were compared with the design response spectra.
