Very recent events such as earthquakes, Covid-19 virus, increasing violence rate against women and many other unfortunate phenomena affected the world and Turkey adversely and created traumas over the citizens. Elazığ is a city in Turkey that has harshly experienced these mentioned traumas. Located in Elazığ, Kültür Fuar area next to Kültürpark, the project was a rehabilitation center for citizens to use in post-trauma conditions. Including psychological and medical units to overcome the trauma, the center also hosts workshops, education and sports facilities, administration parts, recreation spaces, and a significant amount of accommodation units. Integration of the center of city life, being highly accessible and welcoming for the city habitants, and creating a successful indoor and outdoor environmental quality are the main points of the project. Besides, having sufficient contact with nature and daylight, organizing the hierarchy between public and private spaces were the main criteria that shaped Urban Courtyards since these criteria would help to better the conditions of traumatized people.

Conceptual Diagram[2]
In Sivrihisar, Eskişehir, historic Armenien Church, traditional houses of Sivrihisar such as Yurdanur Museum and the Watch Tower are main significant figures shaping the identity of the city. Yet, these main elements cannot communicate well despite their close proximity to one and another. This miscommunication results in disorientation of people and poor display of the region’s features.
+2,00
The Armenian Church is an attraction point for many tourists and today, it is used for a multi purpose event space. Lacking a service space, such as a foyer, The church’s potential cannot be used actively and frequently. On the other hand, Yurdanur Museum is too introverted to communicate with the city and it is closed to the public most of the year due to its lacking an operating space.
+1,00
The Aim of the project was to re-gain Yurdanur Museum and Armenian Church to Sivrihisar and provide the integrity of public spaces via city’s historical and cultural heritage and attract people from nearby cities to visit and contribute to the development of Sivrihisar. The main idea was to create a pedestrian route from the Great Mosque to the Church, which will provide both visitors and habitants to experience the historical values of Sivrihisar in a linear axis by reinforcing the relations of the historic values of the city.

Having been abandoned, Ghia Factory in San Salvario, Torino had not been used for many years. The Factory forms an irregular triangular space in between two branches of the railway coming from Porta Nuova station. In order to re-gain the factory space back to city and response the city’s need of temporary housing, Ghaia factory land was decided to be converted into a temporary housing complex. Housing both temporary accommodation and public spaces contributing to the city life, “Twin Snakes” are introduced as a separation of the publicity of the city from the privacy of accommodation units. A “public snake” and a “private snake” are introduced as two distinct elements of the project of which connecting in strategical points in order to provide vertical circulation units.

17 Yahşibey A small village in Dikili, İzmir, where charity meal tradition still remains. Charity meals are served when a significant event emerges such as death, marriage and religious celebrations. Many people participate in charity meals and the food is cooked in large boilers for the crowd. In Yahşibey Village, there is a lack of celebration and service space for such an event.

Oil Plant

There is an oil plant right at the entrance of the village. The oil plant is being used for only three months a year for oil production due to olives harvesting season. Since the oil plant is abandoned for the rest of the year, maintenance costs are very high and every year there becomes a need of cleaning the factory space from insects and dust.

“Could the oil plant territory be used more actively during the year time and could it also be a solution for the Charity Meal space? Additional open, semi open and closed spaces were proposed in the oil factory for the use of charity meal and also for the out-coming visitors so that a continuous interaction and space use will be maintained. Following the traces of the existing buildings in the oil plant territory, a grid is created. New volumes added respecting to this grid. Pedestrian and vehicle circulation paths are created to serve the oil plant, restaurant, shops, offices and spaces for Charity Meal. Oil plant’s territory is predicted to be used in a more efficient manner.

21 The Wall The research has started with several questions: “Could the building material, concrete, be used in a more flexible manner?”, “Could concrete be used without the molds?”, and “Could designer intervene the casting phase of the concrete?” Making an intervention in the casting phase of the concrete is only possible when the production phase is designed. It also requires a new type of construction method other than today’s most common: molding.
De-Molding Final Product under construction
Wall Elevation
Designing the new construction method, the main motivation was to make it flexible, intervenable, and complex enough to allow several intervention methods that could be used to shape the final product: the wall.
The Space Frame In order to allow the desired interventions, a space frame was constructed, having iron grids on two sides and the top. This was the “production volume” of the wall. Many equipment such as wood, ropes and wires are tested and used as “form givers” and they were used in the application of the construction techniques.
Materials and Construction Techniques
Final View of temporary garden
Combinations of materials and construction techniques were examined due to find the most durable and aesthetic formula to form the final products. Materials such as polar textile, iron mash, sponge and construction techniques such as spraying, feeding and pouring were used together in the casting phase of the concrete
22
The Space Frame and wall under construction
Wall close up view
Casting Phase With the help of the space frame, wooden studs are placed in the desired way to house the concrete-fed polar textile, so that the first casting phase begins. Wires and ropes are used to support the tension force which was necessary to hold the wall. When the placement is complete and the structure is stable, the second phase begins: the spraying phase. With a concrete spray machine, concrete fed-textile has been sprayed with a denser type of concrete in three layers after each layer been dried. When all the layers are casted, and the casting time has finished, the wall is ready to be placed.
Durability and Result Testing many various materials and construction techniques, the most durable ones are chosen. Polar textile casted with feeding and spraying techniques was chosen as the most durable one. The wall can resist significant amount of damage. Textile’s wavy form also enabling the structure to endure more load. As the number of spraying layer increases, also the durability of the structure does. The team leaders consider this innovative construction method as an uprising model for the future’s world.
