COMPLEXITIES OF THE RURAL: INSTITUTE OF KAS Strategy Development and Architectural Program Proposal |2017 - 2018 Spring Final Project
Tutors: Kutay KARABAĞ Nilüfer KOZİKOĞLU
Complexities of the Rural: Institute of Kas
Strategy Relations Transportation Map
Kas The project area is located in the town of Kas , Antalya, in Turkey. The summers are hot and arid, winters are warm and rainy climatic regions. Agriculture, greenhouse, tourism are the main economic resources. There is also the Lycian Way which was the lands of Lycian civilization in the Kas. Archaeological tourism in this region which has many archaeological remains have increased in recent years. Despite the increasing population because of tourism in the summer months, especially in the winter months, people immigrates to different cities because of inadequacy education services. This situation causes discontinuity in the population in Kas. This project is aimed at ensuring the sustainability of the Kas, reducing the immigration of quali ed human pro les, and reducing discontinuous population during summer and winter with potential of Kas.

The rst stage of the project is developing a strategic development plan and architectural design which serves this strategic plan. Swot analysis and incentives of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock for the Kas and swot analysis of development plans of Kas Municipality were examined. A result of both examinations showed Kas doesn’t have advanced education and job opportunities to quali ed population to stay in Kas and there is a lack of coordination in the economic activities. In this case, the nnovative institute, which high participation of local people, researchers, educators, practitioners will take place, is founded, with current potential of education, job opportunities in the tourism, agriculture, greenhouse and archaeological areas, relevant departments of Akdeniz University and 4th generation university model, for sustainability of Kas.

Axle Diagram of Kas
The area, which he institution will be found ed is located at the main axle which connects Kas with another cities and provinces, is lled up and serving as a bus station terminal Kas now. The western part is used as a market place once a week. It is located within walking distance to the beach and the newly built yacht harbour. The northern region is used as a district cemetery while the southern region is a protected area. The area which used as market place and the terminal are separated by 4 existing structures whose have a demolition decision. These existing structures have been reused which intended to physically separate but functionally interweave two parts that have different levels of the area. The western part of the land is covered the buildings, which are serving that institution, because of lled up east part has strong relationship with public axle, it is aimed to serve as a public area and market place within the designed structure covered by project. There is also a tomb remains in this land. This remain was preserved as many archaeological remains that have preservation and investigation studies in the institute lab. These remains were used in the open-air museum which was created from institute and opened to the public. Units such as collective classrooms, conference center, examination laboratories, practice classrooms, exhibitions, recreational areas and restaurants intend to educate the collectivities by coming together different ethnic groups such as, tourists, students and researchers and local peoples.

Considering the existing green texture and the building skeletons in the project area, the pedestrian ow from the main axles to the project area was provided. At this point, existing building skeletons have become a permeable interface between the open space/square and institute buildings.
The northern region of site serves the tourism faculty, while the southern region serves the archeology department. Common areas are located on an axis that is associated with public spaces.

TOPOGWAFFIE
Postures
Topogwaf e -urban furniture- which designed in the context of the basic design course, have a characteristic that allows people to sit comfortably because of their stylized forms of human posture. Topogwaf e, created with the details of the construction and the details of the connection, is a form that will not prevent the growth of the tree in the existing locality. It is also a project with important features in terms of being able to be accommodated in every direction and fully meeting the angles of human postures. The structure is still in Istanbul Bilgi University- santralistanbul campus.

How it’s t? It is compatible for all types of tea cup and mugs becuse of its material.
When the visually impaired people want to drink tea they are obliged to use their ngers to focalize and pour the tea. However, it is not good for sanitation and of burning.
Also it’s t whole types of tea kettle thanks to silicon material.
How it’s work? The visually impaired people needs a way to pour and drink tea easily, so hook take & drink helps to do this. Actually, portability, compatibility and suppleness for all type of cups is so important features of it.
How it’s portable? For cups
For tea kettles
Earphone is one of the most useful materials for visually impaired people, so hook take & drink can wear on it.

Kanlıca Square | Beykoz There are many kinds of living things in the square - inside and around - except human beings. Dogs and birds are at the beginning of what we observe. But birds are much more numerous than others. There is something that this brings; they are dominating the square. In square, it is almost impossible for someone coming to the spot to return without having a relationship with the birds, especially pigeons. We realized there was a cycle of them. The pier, bait, water and tree were the three main stop points for pigeons. We could only observe the pigeons in these points because in certain cases they were in contact with other birds and sometimes only in their own area.

1 Birds are the pre-dominant inhabitants of the Kanlica Square. They are crowded in number and quite active in terms of circulation and places they occupy. Thus, all design must be oriented around the betterment of the pigeons’ habitat. Such approach should also be concerned with the mutual betterment of all species’ habitats as well, because all habitats are interrelated and highly affected by each other. 2 Square is located next to Bosphorus. Yet, the square has very weak visual and spatial connection to it. So, the nal design should aim to reveal -and also take advantage of -the true potential of the Kanlica Square. 3 Birds and people, the two pre-dominant groups of species that occupy the square, do in fact move and circulate quite frequently within the duration of their occupation. The overall nal design must take this into account, and so, respond to such movement and change over time. Responsive design in this case is the key to co-existing habitats.

The stuctures and the oor is designed to oat on the sea. The structures are rotating and are in continuous motion due to a mechanism that converts the effect of the waves into motion energy. This contributes to the movement cycle of birds and humans. The form of the structure is designed in such a way that birds’ faeces can easily ow and birds can be perched.

BALLIPINAR: UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL Research about local production and architecture | August 2017
*Collage about the architectural in Ballıpınar ‘Social Design Approach in University, Public and Local Government Cooperation: “Locality of Production: Kapıdağ- Erdek”. Social design is one of the frequently discussed concepts in the context of creating change for social bene t. The growing problems of the political and social environment are among the factors that trigger social changes and transformations. In the last few years, Kapıdağ Peninsula has been dragged into a tense grip between the rapidly advancing industrialization projects and the ongoing local production mechanisms of the region. In this process, the need for productive, physical and social resources peculiar to the region to continue their existence is a necessity for the continuity of the existing environmental texture and local livelihood opportunities. The “Locality of Production: Kapıdağ - Erdek” project emerged from this need among different production tools and was developed in cooperation with the university, the public and the local government.’ Ates Akdeniz, Aysun & Oz, Gizem.

Besides the typical old Greek houses, another architectural element that draws attention in the village is the awnings used for knitting onions. These awnings, which are used to knit and store onions during onion picking season, are mostly used for storage purposes in winter. There are awnings attached to the houses to form a gazebo, as well as ones installed in squares independent of the houses. These structures are architectural elements that were formed depending on the local production of the village. These elements also include different technical details.
unique architectural Kapıdağ-Erdek Local Production between 14-27 August 2017 within the scope of the workshop, many villages were visited, Ballıpınar and its architecture were closely examined by this group. Architectural inferences were made based on the observations in the village and the information received from the villagers. The old houses in Ballıpınar were generally built before the population exchange and by villagers, mostly Greeks.
The entire ground oor consists of masonry stone walls and the oor is raised above the ground level with these stones. Stones were collected from the banks of streams and mountains with animals in the long run. This oor usually includes a barn, warehouse and toilet. While the entrance to the living area is made by stairs from the part where the barn is, there is a separate door for the warehouse on the same oor. The upper oor has a wooden structure. It was built with timbers, usually made of chestnut wood but brick was used after the 1950s. This oor is the living space of the house. At the end of the stairs, there is usually a sofa (living room), rooms around it, bathroom and kitchen. The sofa has a cooker (stove) and a sofa that runs along the street facade. The roofs of Ballıpınar houses are usually of the gable roof type and structure of roofs is wood. In many buildings, roof tiles, corrugated sheets or metal sheets are used for the outer coating. Most of the old houses were built before the population exchange. When it comes to today, there is no one from Ballıpınar who knows how it was built. Generally reinforced concrete in newly built houses. Since no one has seen the construction phase of the old structures, the people of the village know the process as they hear from their families or old masters. Since most of the houses are in danger of collapse, they are not used or only the masonry stone structure part is used.
