PLAY GROUND
The Children Playground Project is about connecting children with the ground and to be connected with the soil. The playground is on a farm so children will have the opportunity to observe how a barn works, how fruits and vegetables grows, how is a chickens life circle. Those things will help them to understand about human nature basically, even thought this farm located in the business center of a big city like Ä°stanbul.
We would like to represent our project like a tree. It has different levels, which connected with ramps. The ramps sometimes connect and help circulation, sometimes just there for fun, sometimes there for observing things from different angles. We have different boxes that we located them as ‘’closed’’ areas, they are very limited, as we said we want this playground to be open, children can be connected with nature and soil all the time. Addition to that, in ground level there is an axis just passes through our project site to connect the streets which are in the sites borders. Axis divides our project site but we connect it with ramps at upper levels. Also helps us to separate closed areas from playing areas on the ground floor, while we are connecting them at other levels. So the circulation and ramps are a part of the game. They create a loop, make everything a game, even turns architectural elements into a ‘’playground’’.

Site Plan
The children who will come here probably have never seen a cow or a chicken alive, did not play in a playground much which is not located in a shopping mall. We wanted to create an open structure which children can enjoy the natural environment all the time. Children can have fun with anything, they have high imagination, they can make a game from any object that they saw. So we asked ourselves: ‘’What is the most natural object a child can enjoy?’’. We considered those things andcome up with an answer: ‘’A tree’’. Tree is a location which children play on it like a playground, they can climb on it, they can collect fruits, etc… So when we analyzed it with more detail: beingon a tree fun because we can be in different levels while we are climbing, we can observe different thing from different levels, we can climb, jump and climb again like a loop etc…

MIRROR
The conditions we live in make us forget our place in the world, and take us away from our own awareness. In this area, people will find opportunities to examine the changes that occur on the earth and the processes of change as well as opportunity to observe the sky. Located in the south of KÄąnalÄą Island, these old stone quarries touching the sea and the forest, away from noise and intense light, expect a unique experience.

URBAN
TETRIS
URBAN TETRIS Streets, squares, parks, etc. it is seen as the most vigorous public spaces that the community can reach easily. Un Unfortunately, in today's cities, streets have become victims of vehicle traffic and parks left to shopping centers. We can also observe this city examination in Sanayi Mahallesi. People of different classes form a crowded become a visible vehicle and pedestrian circulation on the main street, but these ci circulation pavements and the narrowness and irregularity of the streets lead to major problems. At the same time, the inadequacy of the public and green areas is becoming a near-urban situation. The Tetris project offers a new housing plan proposal, preserving existing strong neighborhood and neighborhood ties. Domestic commercial areas enriched today from the past are preserved, and new main roads are proposed to relieve traffic issues.
New structures have been designed to complement each other with tetris units moved to the third dimension. Public spaces in different elevations; courtyards and mayons were created to reinforce neighborhood associations. On a small scale, we can see both public and private space that publicity infiltrates into housing units. The vacancies in the ci circulation areas increase human encounters and the flexible spaces, which are connected to these areas, also strengthen the sustainability of neighborly ties with different programs.
Another point of interest is the double faรงade systems added to the units. The fresh air taken from the courtyard is transported to common interiors along the facade to provide air circulation.
PUBLIC EDUCATION CENTER
Building around the area sepa separate the species and lead to a reduction in diversity. At the same time, the building define the edges by surrounding area. Access roads and plant lines are examples of these edges.
The public project aims that raise awareness of a nature an human relationship, prouce an share its own soil and food on the site. Also, providing economic income to the public is another important thing in the project. These structu structural units, like a steel tree with a thin body, move in parallel with the slope, creating different spatial constructions. These carrier units allow transparent and opaque transitions with different materials added to their surfaces, thus providing light control and meeting the space's programmatic needs. It also includes a Public Education Center. These training areas are located in small enclosed spaces beneath the shell. The structure of the shell is designed to allow the falling rain to reach the soil.

From the beginning of the design process, recycling was targeted by working with materials from other projects. The material that was released from an architectural exhibition and donated to the project turned it into an interior according to the needs of the users. The design of the cabinet, shelf and plug ropes includes a puppet scene. Design and Built! its students could concentrate on the development of details throughout recycling-use. The Room of English, with its form, detail and material selections, created a space for understanding the unusual English education.
