URBAN PRODUCTIVITY ZONE 01 The ARCH 8561- Sustainable Design Theory and Practice
AYSEGUL AKTURK Architectural Portfolio | 2015
“The creation of life and the living is and must be the fundamental criteria for our activities when we build the environment� Christopher Alexander Architecture is in our cities, streets, homes, interiors, in everywhere all the time! We are surrounded with it and it is a part of our life. As an architect, it makes me think about that everyday I have some lessons to learn in my daily life. Everything in our lives like eating, dancing, feeling comfortable, walking, sleeping touches to the architecture. Because it is all about life! This is an amazing opportunity and no other profession does not have this chance. While everything is related to the architecture, it is very diffucult to define what makes architecture successful. I believe that it should not be creating shiny renderings, dynamic arrows in diagrams or very well photoshoped section drawings. It should be regarding to thinking the life proposed with our design, the whole system, impacts of our design to the environment, comfort of the users, beauty and health of our design. Aysegul AKTURK

I attended a summer course named [IN]CityIntroduction to City and Regional Planning in UC Berkeley during the summer 2015. The Urban Analytique project's site for our team was the intersection of 4th Street and Hearst Avenue. We defined the area as a "Transforming Destination" due to process it has in the history and current situation.

The project goal is to create a design that mimicks the pre-settlement water cycle within the urban context and land uses of our site, Prospect Park, and the Bridal Veil Watershed while balancing the water budget and planning for climate change. All calculations and diagrams for pre-settlement, existing and design conditions are done by myself.
