Abstract

In This paper, the importance of synergy zones in university campus buildings is examined. Synergy zones are shared spaces that encourage interaction and collaboration among individuals from different disciplines, fostering innovation. These zones, created with attention to design principles such as flexibility, accessibility, and technological equipment, provide ideal environments for group work, socialization, and cultural activities for students and academics. The results demonstrate that well-designed synergy areas enhance the quality of campus life by increasing interaction and satisfaction. Energy efficiency in buildings, which entails minimizing energy consumption without compromising service quality, is also a focal point. Effective use of synergy zones can significantly impact a building's energy use, thereby improving efficiency. The article covers topics such as the design and use of synergy zones, efficient use of water and energy resources, types of buildings and their energy consumption, and innovative energy solutions like piezoelectric generators. It also touches on Ataturk's village-city project, aiming to create sustainable and self-sufficient rural communities through efficient resource management and community cooperation.
