BILGI ARCH YEAR 1 STUDIO by İstanbul Bilgi University, Faculty of Architecture

YEAR

ComputationBased BasicDesignStudio @ BÄ°LGÄ° is a special first year design studio integrating latest high-end design and manufacturing technologies to design education. The purpose of the studio is to develop a new generation design education milieu by integrating 1:1 scale construction experience through an understanding of materials and computational design+manufacturing technologies. Computational technologies and means, rather than just being tools, inhabit a quite capable design logic that requires an alteration of settled educational habits and pedagogies. The pedagogical intentions of the studio is to foster an awareness to the nature of things, materials, technologies and their close/far environment. This is a compact selection of current and previous years including both semesters. For more information, please visit: http://www.archindid.bilgi.edu.tr/ 1

ComputationBased BasicDesignStudio @ BİLGİ is a special first year design studio integrating latest high-end design and manufacturing technologies to design education. It was developed and inititated by Şebnem Yalınay Çinici and Onur Yüce Gün; and has been conducted since 2009 by a group of theme-expert professionals and young academicians.

ComputationBased BasicDesignStudio @ BÄ°LGÄ° is organized as two close-knit semesters called as Basic Design I and Basic Design II.

FALL

Basic Design I aims to help students understand the world through abstraction and conceptualization of their SEMESTER surround ings: shapes, forms, figures, colors, textures, materials, scales, space(s) and like -and use these understandings to produce organizations: designs as compilations, compositions, arrangements and rearrangements. Series of assignments intend to develop the skills of students in simultaneous efforts of analysis (reading/decoding) and development (writing/ encoding) of relationships. While requirements and restrictions help them concentrate on specific aspects of design thinking, hands-and-minds-on experimentation within the 2-D or 3-D design space expand the possibilities. The product and the process are equally valued in the design studio. The process is a semi-individual one which is supported via critical discussions during the studio sessions. The students develop skills in communication and evaluation design ideas while taking the first steps in critical design thinking. The process, as well as the product, is achieved via logging, sketching, taking notes and photographing.

SPRING

Basic Design II is the second semester design studio during which students will advance the concepts you SEMESTER became familiar in Basic Design I. The discoveries related to compositions, compilations, arrangements and re-arrangements from the first semester studio are explored with higher concentration on the two basic components of design: void and material. By the weekly and monthly assignments, students will explore void(s) and material(s) as components of organized sequences, hubs, clusters and containers. The role of surfaces, solids and voids in design will be discussed further by the final project on material-based 1:1 self-supporting construction systems. Concentrating on material properties will help students expand the ideas related to connections and detailing in construction. The computational technologies will again be an inherent part of the studio, supporting if not driving the studies. In the final project, students are asked to search for the material they would work with. This demand directs them to the city and let them discover places where they may find required materials for their projects. They experience the city with a different concern, searching for material resources. They begin questioning the nature of the material; its flexibility, strength, weakness etc. Rather than forcing the material into forms which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit its nature, they reveal and discover shapes and geometries according to material performance. Thus they become capable to design and construct 1:1 scale material systems. Scale of the project requires group work through which students gain skills of sharing design ideas, working together and finalizing a design work in collaboration.

In this exercise, students are expected to examine transition techniques from 2D planes to 3D relations using kirigami technique. Students were asked to use cutting, scoring and folding techniques on the relevant lines. Then, students were expected to variate and expand the kirigami patterns using their own transformation rules to a larger size working sheets and create a 3D composition that compounds multiple spines.

GROWTH & EVOLUTION

Fall 2012-13

In general terms, evolution refers to the growth and biological advancement of living beings on Earth through time. Evolution is the progressive development process of life that is leading the broad diversity of species. The design should be 30 by 50 by 10 cm that will present the conception of growth and evolution considering notions such as sequential change of a system, figurative vs. abstract, units and systematic whole. The meaning of evolution should be discussed by constructing a conception.

ADAPTATION

Fall 2017-18, Zeynep SatoÄ&#x;lu

Students are asked to determine a 2D pattern found in nature or in manufactured objects. Alternatively, a new pattern can be created by abstraction. Next, it is asked to combine a regular square grid with the designed pattern in one single design-work by considering the adaptation of 2D patterns in 3D.

Fall 2013-14

Students are asked to design and construct a tube (min.5 - max.15cm in size) for a table tennis ball to be able to travel in a ~80.000 cm3 box. The tube should be designed by using components / polygonal sections and relations. These sections / components should sequentially transform to accomodate different sectional conditions and the structural performance of the tube.

LANTERNS

Students are asked to question relations between light, material and geometry in terms of reflections, shadow effects, transparencies. The lighting element should be should fit into a volume of approximately 1m3 and designed precisely in terms of the connection details. Students are encouraged to use any of the techniques such as various processing of material folding, adaptive patterns and component based geometric system by considering the concepts such as composition, repetition, rhythm, harmony, s y m m e t r y / a s y m m e t r y, contrast, transformation, deviation, adaptation etc.
