1. Scope of the Project: ARC 202 Architectural Design II students are expected to propose an innovative and complex structure that processes and develops the “library” theme on the most crowded and day-long population of Izmir, Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi. Kibris Sehitleri Caddesi is located in Konak district of Izmir. The street is closed to traffic and there are restaurants, cafes, bars, bookstores and shopping places on it. The street usually contains a young population. 2. Goal of the Studio: - Innovative design proposals, - Providing transparency between the city-citizen and building, - Reconsidering the concept of library with an innovative approach.
1. Number of Storey
2. Six Parts
Firstly, the land boundaries of the project were established. Three-dimensional solid mass was created by calculating the required floor height.
The solid mass was divided into 6 different parts. With 4 horizontal and 2 vertical parts were created, different spaces and open spaces at different elevations.
- Reconsidering the concept of library spatially.
3. Two Library Tubes
4. Library-Circulation Tubes
The two vertical parts are used as libraries. But it is different from traditional libraries. Because library parts are a circulation area. Two library parts are the dynamic and crucial part of the project.
These two library parts are connected at different levels in other locations. These library parts are both a library and a dynamic circulation area.

1. Scope of the Project: ARC 301 Architectural Design III students are expected to propose a mixed-function building that processes and develops the theme of “urban history and research area� that can be naturally included in the urban life of urban citizens of all ages, easily accessible and accessible to all. 2. Goal of the Project: - Design proposals which have public content and mixed-use functions, - Developing public relations between urban-urban and building, - Positive contributions to urban identity, - To observe social / cultural values, lifestyle habits and sustainable building design principles, - Responding to contemporary trends and technological developments in the field of architecture.
19 Urban Terrace / 2015-2016 Fall Semester Studio Project
The main objectives of the Izmir Research Center are; to create an environment that can provide a basis for the innovations that are considered within the framework of the city’s identity and urban fabric. Therefore, there is a need for public spaces aiming to integrate with the community in the city context, as well as the places that can contribute to the development and dissemination of these studies in the Izmir Research Center.

1.Scope of the Marsception Competition: The participants are to create a self-sustaining living space for the initial habitants, a group of five researchers, of the Red Planet. These researchers are to further study and explore Mars to understand its resources for inhabitation and other human necessities. The 5 researchers have been carefully selected to understand various parameters to validate the idea for the existence of life on Mars. The participants are to design functional, sustainable spaces that cater to the needs of these five researchers. 2. Goal of the Marsception Competition: With interplanetary travel for humans, not a far-fetched idea and innovations made every day to make it a reality soon. It is now time to imagine and create a new civilization. A civilization the world has dreamt with an opportunity to design the future architectural prospect on the Red Planet for others to follow.

3. Content of the Project: Tumbleweed, is a self sustaining, mobile living space which is designed with biomimetic architectural philosophy in mind. Tumbleweeds are a common sight across the deserts of Earth. With this expedition, humanity will be walking on the biggest desert they have ever seen. Thus, designing a mobile living unit that will roll across the endless deserts of the red planet seemed fit. Mars hosts sandstorms that last for weeks that are unpredictable, covering large-scale areas and making it impossible to harvest solar energy so a hybrid space proposal is introduced that benefts from the sun and the wind together. To beneft from the wind, the project is designed to meet the minimum human and research needs of a minimum of 5 people who will conduct research on Mars with the aim of being at the minimum level of weight. All the furnitures are hidden inside the space between the radiation shield and the supporting columns surrounding the interior, thus providing a spacious living space on minimum conditions. The obstacle in restricting the research area of a built-in space has been overcome by designing a mobile living unit. As a result, Tumbleweed is a “house-vehicle” proposal that is designed to be able to withstand all the extreme climatic conditions of the Red Planet while researching the different parameters of Mars and looking for potential scenarios for permanent residency in future.
1. Drive Tumbleweed is able to roll away on the surface of the Red Planet with the help of the wind in strong sandstorms and the solar energy that is stored in the stagnant weather.
2. Wind When the spring steel layer is opened, tumbleweed attaches to the surface. It is able to transforms wind energy to electrical energy thanks to it’s weed structure that captures strong storms.
3. Landing Platform A sloping landing platform is able to create with the opening of the next inner layer.
4. Sunflower Solar energy is utilized with the opening of layer 4 on the inner surface where photovoltaics are present.
5. Get Source With the help of the drill which is located in the pole of the vehicle, the frozen water layers are reached and the source is obtained.
6. Further Usage After the task is completed; pv are dismantled and move out, inflate ETFE membrane, deploy airlocks, print ice, print inner shell, and thus it will switch from mobile life to settled life and wait for it’s potential future guest.

1. Scope of the Project: The ARC 402 Architectural Design IV course is a project area on the back area of Alsancak Liman which is regarded as a rant as a historical place for Izmir. It was expected that the future of the cities should be determined through ‘architecture as provocation’. Students were expected to choose their own area through the triangular site between Alsancak Train Station, Mürsel Paşa Boulevard and Liman Caddesi. 2. Goal of the Studio: - Urban collective solutions. - In line with urban analytical work, we propose a design concept through a complex structure program through ‘architecture as provocation’.
1. Existing building and site analysis: The site and the existing buildings were surveyed. Buildings that are not able to be used were determined. In addition unused empty spaces has founded.
- To use knowledge of contemporary building systems.

6. Can’t the streets be in the sky? The building was created by intermingling with the site and existing buildings. The project is in contact with the streets in the spaces identified in the ground. It makes people think of the streets level again. Büşra Kuş
3. Content of Project: According to Lefebvre, physical space is seen as a means of providing profit and rent on the basis of the value of use of the abstract space while the daily life practices of the space are realized and the usage value is the space. The use of space and the social values it represents are not at their own risk. In order to provide control of the society and control the growing population, these spaces are transformed into abstract spaces or rant spaces by using public spaces such as streets, square and so on, so that ‘public spaces’ belonging to the collective are occupied. It is one of the regions that is seen as a rent gate in the ‘Port district’ of Konak province, which houses the most important historical centers of Izmir and is being sold or occupied by power owners. This space, which the citizens can not reach anymore, is transformed into an urban void by the society because it has not been changed or experienced. The first intervention to change this is the urban void; the people occupy it and fill it with its own existence. The purpose of this occupation is; to create free and accessible places by considering the use value of the place. This situation will take a stand against the concept of ‘concrete space’ that the system produces. Art will be able to stand against this situation and it will be able to transform abstract spaces into concrete spaces. The ‘streets’ were also chosen as the occupation places of the people. Because even our closest public-space streets have evolved from the common life of people and become the living spaces of cars and the spaces of various screens.

OCCUPATION CORRIDORS & BUFFER ZONES Occupation Corridors:
It was determined that the streets in the region could not be in contact with the user. The first approach of the project design was the experience of the region. The resulting public corridor does not break the parts of the building. At the same time it connects the pieces and has become a tool for establishing alternative relations with the space. The scattering of the workpieces has led to a combination of the experiential effects of art and daily life. The interrelation of the corridor transforms the art program into a performative action. Buffer Zones: The spaces where the production spaces in the art program are combined with the corridor are considered as a place of action. The relationships established by the spaces that are different in the project create gathering meetings. - While the Buffer zones are being constructed the existing buildings in the design area are largely untouched. - The appropriate elevations for the occupation corridors and buffer zones to be formed at the suitable levels and the roof analyzes of the existing structures in the region are detailed. - While the hipped and inclined roof structures were not touched, the platforms formed with flat roof areas were brought together.

1. Content of the Symposium: Architectural design studies have an impact on the future of cities with their reflections on architectural and urban changes in the fields of education and practice. The architectural design processes also interact with the natural, artificial and social environments in which they exist. This interaction creates even more complex urban opportunities with social, cultural, economic and technological effects and at the same time causes problems. The MITA 2018 Symposium focuses on the following sub-themes within the framework of integrated architectural design research, in order to ensure the sustainability of the urban environment and the protection of the future. - Integrated architectural design research and the future of cities, - Sustainable urban environment - ecology and architectural design research, - Urban housing / Urban transformation and architectural design research, - Interaction of integrated architectural design research with urban planning and design, - Cities and architectural design research in architectural design studios and architectural education, - The socio-economic development and change of cities in relation to architecture, - Cultural and spatial research in urban architectural environments.

1. Content of the Exhibition: In the exhibition as part of ARC 102 Architectural Design , there are 55 cities located in Italo Calvino’s book “Invisable Cities”. In the projects, Invisible cities were tried to be made visible in Italian journalist and writer Italo Calvino’s book. In the project, the students worked in groups of one or two or three people. The general purpose of this project is to translate from text to image using design language. “ Continuous cities - 3 “ Each year in the course of my travels I stop at Procepia and take lodgings in the same room in the same inn. Ever since the first time I have lingered to contemplate the landscape to be seen by raising the curtain at the window: a ditch, a bridge, a little wall, a medlar, a field of corn, a bramble patch’ with blackberries, a chicken yard, the yellow hump of a hill, a white cloud, a stretch of blue sky shaped like a trapeze. The first time I am sure there was no one to be seen; it was only the following year that, at a movement among the leaves, I could discern a round, flat face, gnawing on an ear of corn. A year later there were three of them on the wall, and at my return I saw six, seated in a row, with their hands on their knees and some medlars in a dish. Each year, as soon as I entered the room, I raised the curtain and counted more faces: sixteen, including those down in the ditch; twenty-nine, of whom eight were perched in the medlar; forty-seven, besides those in the chicken house. They look al ike, they seem polite, they have freckles on their cheeks, they smile, some have lips stained by blackberries. Soon I saw the whole bridge filled with round-faced characters, huddled, because they had no more room to move in; they chomped the kernels of corn, then they gnawed on the ears.
