PAVILION RESONATE Design Morphine: Informative Archetypes V3.0 Project Type: Group Work - Pavilion Design Location: Sofia, Bulgaria Year: 2019 Summer Tutors: Arek Keshishian, Andrei PAdure Team: Benjamin Norris, Nur KayalÄą Role: Design concept, 3D renders, modelling the adaptive components and landscape. Pavilion Resonate seeks to merge within and embody the intangible forces acting on the urban dweller within the city garden adjacent to the National Bank of Sofia, through its physical form and its resonance into the landscape. In viewing the park as a transitional space and considering pedestrian desire lines to key nodes within the city, vectors were mapped on the site that represented the forces influencing the movement of people through the park space. At the centre of that field of vectors a vortex occurs where 5 new petal-like structures form to provide a point of rest and sanctuary as people move from node to node. Pavilion Resonate is designed by an algorithmic exploration and a computational form-finding system through the BIM environment of Revit and Dynamo. Climate-responsive adaptive components were designed for the petal-like structures, where they provide daylight and shade by adapting to the orientation of the sun. At night, the pavilion becomes a beaken for the city.

SUN CANYON MArch Architectural Association School of Architecture Sustainable Environmental Design Project Type: Group Work - Mixed-Use & Retail Location: London, UK Year: 2018 Spring Instructors: Simos Yannas, Paula Cadima Team: Nur Kayalı, Maria Andree Osoy, Ka Po Yung Role: Design concept, 3D modelling and wind analysis The urban regeneration of London’s King’s Cross has generated significant opportunities at local, regional and national level. The vibrant development has reinforced the area as an easily accessible, high-quality mixed-use community. Its statement on art, culture, and heritage has created a concrete vision where people can live and work. Due to the increasing population of King’s Cross, in this design project, a mixed-use development at a site owned by Ted Baker and the British Airways Pension Fund (BAPF) is proposed. The redevelopment scheme consists offices, residential complexes, and outdoor open spaces for public use. Besides, this imaginative architectural design exploration not only is applicable to the present - i.e. climate, density, lifestyle trend, occupancy uses, it will also consider the future climate change scenario. The design proposal integrates passive strategies for heating and cooling, using low energy appliances and providing green open spaces to prevent heat island effect. The main goal is to create a pleasant, adaptive living environment for both current and future users of the scheme.

Analysis of 5th floor plan
The wind analysis of Sun Canyon has been studied at two different scales - (i) the overall massing, to analyze how the built form interacts with south-west prevailing wind; (ii) blow up of the indoor plan of 5th floor residential and 2nd floor office, to test results of natural cross ventilation. With south-west prevailing wind, it could be seen that the Sun Canyon built form (i.e. layout and orientation) has taken the prevailing wind conditions into consideration. Moreover, the orientation of the open space along with the cascading built form having deeper plans on lower floors and narrow plans on high floors, have in fact helped reduce the possibility of wind trapping within the site. Thus, with the centre large open space as the feature of Sun Canyon, the built form has helped to avoid the clustering of strong wind streamlines or wind turbulences. With operable windows installed on the exterior facade and cross windows on walls of individual units adjacent to the central courtyard area, it is seen that the prevailing southwest wind can flow into the central courtyard via. south-west units. Likewise, wind from courtyard will also flow into individual north-east units and back into the external areas.

BIOMASS POWERPLANT & ALGAE FARMING
ALONG ANKARA STREAM: A SUSTAINABLE URBAN PROTOTYPE
Project Type: Individual Academic Work Location: Bilkent University, Ankara, TURKEY Year: 2016 Spring Instructor: Mark Paul Frederickson
The following project focuses on the emblamatic of the forementioned developmental issues in that it offers an alternative vision for the Ankara river basin and urban riverfront. The overarching intent is to suggest a sustainable urban living prototype for Ankara. A prototype that approaches sustainability across an array of dimensions: Economic, Environmental, Cultural, Aesthetic and Functional. The project is a collective work where primarily, the masterplan is synthesized. The individually chosen programme is designing a sustainable Biomass Powerplant, consisting of a landscape of algae farming located along the riverfront. The redevelopment of the Ankara river basin connects the Biomass Powerplant to the proposed Eco-Village through the landscape of algae farming, where microalgae is cultivated as an energy source.

SPACE, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CENTRE Project Type: Individual Academic Work Location: Bilkent University, Ankara, TURKEY Year: 2015 Fall Instructors: Glenn Kukkola, Yasmin Kaygusuz
The Space, Science and Technology Centre is located on the Bilkent University Campus, designed to educate and inform the public on technology existence and advances made in the areas of astronomy, space exploration, science, and technology. The Centre has many exhibition spaces, public education areas, a demonstration lab, multimedia presentation spaces, conference rooms, offices, a fully functional observatory with a telescope, as well as a hydroponic garden, an Imax theatre and a planetarium. The main objection of the project concentrates on designing a structural system for the Centre that intends to improve the performance by creating greater spaces. The system inspired by the complex molecular structure is actually a single element. But once the simple structure connects to one another, they make up a model. By linking many models, a huge sytem results in an organization that is at once identified as a systematic and complexlooking structure.
The structural system is unique in itself as the connection between each chain-linked element gives the resemblance of a complex molecular structure. Thus, the design is inspired by the purpose of the centre itself. The arrangement of the glass system, while isolating the interior, creates three dimensional spaces within the connected structural system, showing semblance to crystalline structures.

There are two entrances to the centre, one is the main entrance across the Bilkent University Campus. The other entrance is from nature. It brings inside a green belt which surrounds the centre, having the exhibition spaces surrounding it. The interior spaces are mainly connected with ramps, becoming a handicapped-friendly centre. They surround the planetarium and the Imax theatre along with the other functioned spaces. Having a circulation system consisting of ramps makes the spaces seem endless and also allows the users to explore the structural system on different levels.

PASSIVE DESIGN FOR A VINEYARD HOUSE IN ATLAS VILLAGE, TURKEY MArch Architectural Association School of Architecture Sustainable Environmental Design Project Type: Individual Work - MArch Dissertation & Client Project - Housing Location: Atlas Village, TURKEY Year: 2019 Instructors: Simos Yannas, Paula Cadima This dissertation project provides guidelines for elements related with passive design, specifically for detached houses in Eskişehir or climates similar to it. The passive design principles deprived from the literature review and analytic work are analysed, where the application is pursued by designing a residential detached house located in one of the vineyards of Atlas Village, in the city of Eskişehir, Turkey. Focusing on a sustainable and contextually manner, the final design sustains the environmental difficulties by achieving adequate levels of daylight, thermal comfort and ventilation requirements with the use of passive strategies and a minimum requirement to use mechanical heating during the year. To compare, the amount of heating needed for the vineyard house to achieve comfort is calculated as 29.96 kWh/year/m², which is double the amount of energy needed for a Passivhaus and 10 times less than the amount needed for a middle income family of four in Turkey, according to TEIAŞ. Ultimately, the vineyard house will be a sustainable prototype for Turkey, proving that by incorporating passive design princples, a building could adapt to the environment, as well as to climate change.

As the sun angles are the lowest during winter solstice during the year, simulations testing glare in spaces are performed. The dining room and bedrooms are tested at times where glare could be at its peak, however, the results illustrate that glare does not affect these spaces. The daylight analysis is conducted in summer and winter solstice at 12.00pm. The sky condition is set as sunny and the tested grid surface is set 1 meter above floor level. Based on the handbook of CIBSE, the minimum lux levels for a space is recommended as: 150 lux for bathrooms, 100 lux for bedrooms, 150-300 lux for the kitchen and 50-300 lux for the living room. The simulation results testifying visual conditions prove comfort for all working areas of the design.

Daylight Autonomy (DA) and Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) simulations are performed to determine the visual quality of spaces. DA specifies the percentage of occupied hours per year when minimum illuminance levels can be maintained autonomously. The simulations display a 70% of DA where daylight is needed in the kitchen, living/dining room and bedrooms. The UDI simulations indicate the annual percentage of occupied hours when illuminance is within 100-2000 lux band. According to this criteria, the UDI shows an average of 80% in all floors. Glare simulations are further performed in the workspace to measure illuminance levels.

COLD SEASON STRATEGIES
OUTDOOR COMFORT
During the cold period, direct solar penetration inside the conservatory and spaces could be controlled by the night shutters. The adaptable conservatory is used during the cold season. As the conservatory is retracted, it acts as a sun space allowing the adjacent interior spaces to benefit from the effect of solar radiation. Wind protection is offered by sloping the roof towards the southern orientation, shielding the strong prevailing winds away from the north façade. The thick stone walls act as a good source for thermal mass.
The outdoor comfort analyses an annual or specific time of the day that simulates the outdoor microclimate of a specific urban grid. The evaluation encompasses the hourly effects of solar radiation, wind speed, relative humidity and physiological aspects, such as clothing insulation and metabolic rate. WARM & CLOUDY

Results proved that instead of using fixed solar shading devices, an adaptable operable system is more efficient, as it is only necessary during the warm periods. The operable solar control systems avoid direct solar penetration inside the spaces. Air flow is provided by cross ventilation through the openings of the south, east and west sides, as well as the openings of the skylights. In the hot season, as the conservatory is not used, the whole layout is more permeable around its perimeter, as the glazed surfaces open up to the courtyard, connecting to the outdoor spaces.

THE SWIRL EVOLO Skyscraper Competition Project Type: Group Work - Skyscraper Design Location: Mumbai, INDIA Year: 2018 Team: Mert KilcioÄ&#x;lu, Ayça Sapaz Role: Design concept and sustainability analysis. The Swirl proposes to transform the large footprint of the informal structures into dense green areas while keeping the density and already established sense of neighbourhood and to collect the housing in a compact point block typology; a skyscraper. It builds a connection between different communities through the cultural references it takes and social activity spaces it offers, thus creates a social and morphological swirl in Mumbai, India. The Swirl has a mixed-use sustainable design that aims to produce the lowest amount of carbon dioxide emissions from gas and electricity usage than an average development in India of the same size with the equivalent amount of users. In present day, India comes the fourth in the production of bamboo materials over the world. In the main structural frame of The Swirl, recycled steel and space-frame systems are used as a supportive structure and division elements, bamboo is used as a secondary structural material, therefore the local producing and regional materials are highlighted within the building as well as the affordability of the overall structure. Moreover, bamboo is prefered in the sense that it is a fast growing plant with durable and elastic surface.

The ground level of The Swirl serves as a community hub at the intersection of the green corridor and the existing urban axis. The local commercial units and food markets are centralized around the conservatories that provide agricultural and economical activities for the users. The entrance creates a frame for the visitors as they walk through the swirling path and the square serves as a public space with cafes and a vista point. The upper floor plates contain housing units for families and community activity areas having common rooms, shared kitchens and amenities. The top floors have a learning centre and working areas for the residents.

CO-HOUSING PROJECT: DORMITORY FOR STUDENTS Project Type: Individual Academic Work Location: Bilkent University, Ankara, TURKEY Year: 2014 Fall Instructor: Mark Paul Frederickson, Giorgio Gasco The co-housing project initiated by developing a master plan for the whole site, then focused on a functional building that was appropriate for the site. The function of the co-houses were planned mainly for academic instructors, students and admins of Bilkent University. The site is located around a small lake which is located in the east campus of Bilkent University. A dormitory for the students was proposed, consisting single and double bedrooms, as well as studio rooms, where certain roomtypes have top levels. The facility rooms are placed accordingly to the functions. Common areas for relaxing, working and gathering are presented in the central part of the dormitory, which have a two-storey high cafe. The common spaces have openings for daylight and viewing, where students can enjoy the nature. The proposed design encloses nature in between the bedrooms, as the trees create privacy.
01 PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS
The program requires both private and public spaces for student rooms and other common areas overlooking a lake in a university campus.
02
WHERE HORIZONTAL MEETS DIAGONAL
The intersection of the horizontal and diagonal lines create emphasized spaces that could be transformed into vibrant spaces, which ease the circulation.
& SEPARATION 03 SETBACKS The Mondrian grid with its empty and full shapes inspires the layout for the student rooms, having spaces that are separated and setbacked from eachother. The setbacked spaces create courtyards for privacy.

ACCENTUATING THE ENTRANCE & PUBLIC SPACES
05 THE EXRTUDED PRISM MASSES
The public areas are raised on the north side, blocking away the northern winds and creating views towards the lakeside.
The common spaces are divided into areas and levels by the extruded prism-like masses located on the roof, which create views and transparency between the large spaces and the scenic landscapes.
