EXPO DESIGN
[HONORABLE MENTION - CHINA 2014]
By creating a miniature landscape of Jing Mountain within EXPO in our site, we are trying to emphasis the axis from north to south with these two landmarks of different size of mountains shapes on both ends, which also helps highlight the theme of MINISCAPE. Based on the traditional Chinese garden pattern, we use modern techniques as in a parametric way to come up with a large wooden structure out of the shape of Jing mountain as a Miniscape. Zones of a variety of functions are generated owing to the shapes varied in parts of the structure, such as outdoor theatre, several resting areas, plant viewing area etc. Around the cross of the road, a concise water recreation square is located, where all the water on the hard impervious pavement will gather, so that the water level can differ according to the rainfall. Between the water recreation square and the miniscape structure, three plantation gardens of seasonal scent flowers which which will provide visitors with rich visual and oldfactory experience. Furthermore, the screen in the outdoor theatre on the northwest corner and the wall behind the flaky rockery next to the water pool echo with each other, creating a platform for spreading information and a space for meditation as well.

ART HOUSE
[THESIS PROJECT - SPRING 2015]
Karakoy is one of the most important distiricts in Istanbul. It is placed between Tophane and Eminonu. It is known with the closeness to Historical Peninsula. Karakoy is easily accesible place. There are many different transportation vehicle integrated with each other. Through the history, Karakoy’s building-population density have increased. The shoreline was changed as well with the addition of different buildings. The project area is located between Mumhane Street and KemankeĹ&#x; Street near to Turkiye Deniz Isletmeleri. There are many types of cafes, art and culture centers, education places in Karakoy. It makes the place remerkable and alive. Nevertheless the place is getting calm as time goes by. Craftspeople are also placed around Karakoy and Sishane. It provides the site productive identity. Art and fashion workshops are placed in this district as well. Karakoy has changable population density time by time. The density of people in cafes and restaurants, culture and art centers, education buildings and on the way changes in Karakoy according to time. The table shows below:

Karakoy Design Museum inholds different kind of art, craft, education, social acitivities, lesiure time activities inside. It has also “Artist in Residence Programme”. According to this programme, artists stay in design museum as a certain time through performing their art. On the other hand, the design museum contain within itself diffrerent artistic subfields: architecture, 2D design, 3D design, photography, digital and interactive arts, printmaking, fashion design, painting, drawing, jewellery design, stage design and public art. In addition, craft people near to Karakoy can also be the part of this kind of art-works by innovating their works in art point of view. The people flow to the design museum changes according to time and people who place in there.(according to their worktime, visiting-time) The place of the project is congested place and people need to relax in this kind of cultural place. So the main decision in this project is relaxing people with an open space without chancing the characteristics of Karakoy. In this way, the centralized space which is an intersection point of choosen entrances(Mumhane,Kemankes,French path entrances) is enlarged from the top to the bottom as an “Glass Cube” of the building and provide a semi-public space in front of the main entrance. It attract people for going inside of the building and discovered the main axis and the museum.

In combination with the insulating properties of Thermoclear sheet, this prevents heat escaping faster than it is created causing a temperature increase – the socalled ’greenhouse effect’. Transparent grades of Thermoclear sheet have excellent light transmission, between 38 and 83% depending upon thickness. However, for buildings in hot climates or with south facing aspects, Thermoclear sheet is available in translucent grades of bronze, grey, blue, green, opal white, Thermoclear Solar Control sheet screen printed white stripes on the non UV protected side. These grades significantly reduce solar heat build-up, helping to maintain comfortable interior temperatures.

As shown in masterplan, the project is housing settlement which located at Haydarpasha, Kadıköy. It’s closed to Ayrılıkcesme metro station, Kadıköy-Haydarpasha Rıhtım Street, E5 highway, Üsküdar. The site is generally flat but it has terrain at south-west part. Near to project side, density of settlements, height of buildings are high. Therefore, the height of the building blocks and density are high and generated as decreasing centripetally according to whole area. In front of the south block, there is a grove which all residents can use. Also the parking garage is placed under south block. There is an open otopark between the blocks. The project is temporary housing settlement. It consists of 3 main blocks. Each block consists of units. First of all, the main plan scheme is designed. It transformed some kind of open spaces at different levels. And these units piece together, thus blocks are formed. For terrain area, units placed step by step according to slope and accesibility to building. The other 2 blocks are placed at flat area. Units include core as circulation area and mainly 4 flats at 1 floor. 2 flats of the floor are 2-storey flats which have a gallery as second level. Other 2 flats are designed as 1-storey. Units has 5 alternative flats, common spaces (lounges, floorgarden-urban agriculture, gym, swimming pool and sauna, playground), services ( laundry, storage). Flats are designed with furnitures which transformed according to user requirement in confined space. For example Bookshelf is used as a stair, kitchen cabinet transformed to dining table. These designes provide ease of life and space gain.
Steel mesh and glass are used for providing sunlight for floor garden which includes urban agriculture inside. Reinforced concrete structural system is used thus modular plan scheme is constituted. In addition to that, precast hollow core slab is used.

Two new city circulation lines combines a linear green system with a much bigger city park. This masterplan offers a new green attractor with multiple uses to the city. Ground floor section adjustment creates a continuos circulation under the municipality building. Courtyard becomes a circulative semi-urban space with the city council which is in direct relation with the public. Plan organization of the building offers a loop on both horizontal and vertical sections. This loop provides a non-stop information circulation between each departments.

[COMPETITION ENTRY - fall 2014
Taiki-Cho region located on the Japanese island Hokkaido has its own wild climatic characteristics. Summer temperatures can be high as 20 C and winter periods can be low as -20 C. The prevailing wind direction is northeast with a maximum speed of 45km/h. The region is high in humidity and precipitation. The Project proposal references the tent structure as one of the earliest shelter form of humanity. Likewise the thermal core resembles the fire in the middle of the tent. This core is further enhanced with a barn –emphasizing the animal husbandry culture in Taiki-Cho- in 1 m below and 1.5 m inside the main structure. This provides additional thermal energy from the livestock and completes the thermal living section of the building.
32
The new interpretation of the tent form is based on a wooden skeleton structure with an ETFE skin for the climatic adaptability. The form is further modified for utilizing the northeast wind direction and increasing the strength of the building skin. An opening is also devised for providing natural ventilation. The unique naturescape of the Taiki-cho is diffused into the building with controlled cold weather and semi-transparent skin. This is further extended with the existence of the barn, providing the essence of the sustainability through deliberate primitiveness. As an addition, “tatami rooms” of the vernacular Japanese houses are located inside the building. ETFE – Main Features ETFE is the acronym for ethyl tetra fluoro ethylene, a strain of fluoro polymer. Here are a few of its material characteristics: • It weighs 1% of glass (for the same size) • High level of transparency to visible UV light • High resistance to degradation by sunlight • Lifespan of up to 50 years • Can support 400 times its own weight • Better insulation properties than glass • Classified as a recyclable material The structural mass comprising the barn is reinforced concrete and provides a strong basis. The 80x80 cm chimney facilitates heating, and also acts as the central structural element for the wooden scaffolding. The structural integrity is achieved with the integration of internal wooden structure and the external wooden scaffolding which supports the ETFE skin.

FOLDUP
[MOCK UP MACHINE - UCLA 2016]
Fold-up is a dynamic facade system that builds on the principle of folding motion. The unit consists of two right-triangular plates hinged on their hypotenuses, allowing the faceted square shape to move between open and fully closed positions. The transformation from a vertical to a horizontal plane, performs as an adaptive shading on an architectural scale. The Fold-up system operates on a vertical facade. It uses a simple servo motor to hoist the unit to the open position while gravity actuates the return to the fully closed position. The system provides a vast array of geometrical positions to adapt to various lighting conditions. Panels could be user adjusted or integrated as a pre-programmed system to automatically track various sun positions. The moving facade produces a dramatic shading effect from the exterior while empowers the users to direct and connect alternative building views from the interior.

GRAND CHALLANGES -

ucla grand challenges sustainable la [the now institute / thom mayne - morphosis [
`Over the coming decades, climate change and a growing population could significantly disrupt the economy, health and quality of life for every person in Los Angeles County. These challenges could also endanger the ecosystems that share our landscape, help shape our culture and enhance our well-being.` As SLA Grand Challenges describes, sustainability is a broad problem which can not be solved with individual interventions. It is aimed to create new policies that will face this problem in a bigger scale. Los Angeles differs with its suburban characteristics, the city of sprawl with single families, great lawns. Yet the city is facing drought, climate change, high level of emissions. Thom Mayne Suprastudio, Now Institute, aims to tackle the complex problem of sustainability in global, national, regional and local scale, tries to find the solution for %100 renewable energy, %100 locally sourced water and enhanced ecosystem health in 2050 Los Angeles County. Studio started with intense research phase to understand the problem. With several existing and proposed policies, the main focus was on urban densification, how densed environment can help sustainability, SLA goals. How can we protect 99% of the county with only interfering 1% of it? To test different scenarios, Wilshire Corridor was selected as test field of densification with its upcoming subway line.
In 2050, Los Angeles County is expected to have extra 1.5 million people. How can we have that extra population and achieve the SLA goals in terms of sustainability? In this arguement, it is aimed to protect the not-urbanized northern part of the county, draw a line, limit the sprawl, protect what is nature. First phase of the research showed that densed living environment helps water, energy consumptions and encourages the public transportation. Energy problem is related with the supply, while water is more of a demand issue. It is seen that studied existing or proposed policies regarding the sustainability can achieve the SLA goals only with the help of urban densification.

Korea Town carries the highest population density of Los Angeles County, demarcating the transition to the Downtown employment hub, an area predominantly dominated by commercial and office programs. This character creates a heated housing and activities node, in which the residents are usually students and young low-income workers. Such configuration creates a dense unbreathable environment, increasing the demand for open spaces and access to amenities. As a response to the needs of the future compact city, this project envisions a new model of urban growth, aiming to increase the livability of this area through the design of an integrated system that articulates infrastructure and circulation with housing and open spaces. The compact-city assumes a site of Korea Town for urban experimentation, conceiving a new connected system that promotes the enlargement of the current grid and accommodates reprogramed bigger blocks. Hybrid building typologies are linked to each other by a multi levered landscape, that takes advantage of its mat-condition to interconnect public and private spaces through the roofs, creating a unity that takes the whole site.
