“FRACTAL URBAN SPACE” Arch 402/ Spring Term 2014-2015 Aysen Savas, Agnes van der Meij, Onat Öktem, Pınar Yazdıç
The goal of second semester Design Studio is to shift the context to a different urban environment and culture, to study a complex architectural program. The research will transform into a structural composition which will accommodate a desired living and working “platform” for students. The design proposal for “Wonen/ Werken Centrum in Delft” focuses on repetition of existing urban form at a larger scale in order to create an urban space for both of the students and inhabitants of Delft. The smaller tissue encountered when zooming in the site consists of three major elements: the periphery residential blocks, a common space enclosed by the periphery blocks and a crack which connects the canal street and the common space. This tissue is formed with the inline lines at the street facades of urban blocks and recessive lines at the back facades of the urban blocks to increase the capacity of getting light. Repetition of the tissue at a larger scale provides a seperation between existing, conventional grid plan functions such as accomodation units, retails and student clubs at the periphery and newly introduced, free plan functions such as exhibition hall, auditorium, mensa etc. in the middle of the site.

PROSTEEL 2015_ DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES COMPETITION

“SOCIAL CENTER IN A RECREATION AREA” Honorable Mention
Project site is determined as “Berfo Ana Parkı” between 8 meters high retaining walls of Metu Road and the social housing blocks at “100. Yıl” neighbourhood. The determining cause of the site selection is decreasing usage of the park after the construction of Metu Road. For this reason, the main goal of the design is to orient people to the park and design a “social focus” which will attract the inhabitants of the neighbourhood to the park again. Besides that, the area has a great potential as an interaction area located at the intersection of the METU campus and two neighbourhoods: Çigdem and 100.Yıl districts. As a reaction to the existing situation of the site which is quite permanent and constant with high concrete walls, a concept which is more flexible and dynamic is proposed. In accordance with this concept, “main space” is interpreted as the structure itself and different plan schemes are developed on the same structure.The application of different plan schemes are provided by lightweight panels which combine in different ways to create different functions. There are three main event spaces: concert-conference, library-meeting room and exhibition-atelier, so that the panels are designed in different typologies like wall, slab and roof panels.

“BATTLEFIELD” Arch 401/ Fall Term 2014-2015 Aysen Savas, Agnes van der Meij, Onat Öktem, Pınar Yazdıç
The obvious fact about the METU road is that the road is not designed by taking care of the scale or the necessities of this area but it is a road that could transform their environment easily. This newly constructed road will create new land uses and also new land users around like in Çukurambar case. The transformation happens by reflecting the ideology of power because each intervention on public space is the direct result of an ideology. So I titled my project as “battlefield” by referencing a quotation from Foucault who says “public space is a battlefield between the power which regulates so that disciplinates the space and the one which lives spontaneously there." In this battlefield analogy, the road and the power of current government offer new landuses for getting rent. In contrast to that, the project offers a new layer just for public usage by covering the road. This new layer will suppress or control transformation for rent, especially in both of two sides of the road, not only with its physical existence but also it connects people events and activities to create a livable community around it.

This timeline shows views from the road which is looking through Çukurambar area. 10 years ago there was no highrise buildings, residences but squatter areas. Now Çukurambar is getting higher in background of Metu Road. After a few years the construction will continue to increase. Then most probably Isci blokları will turn into highrise residences, shopping malls or hotels by not resisting this rapid transformation.

CONNECTED SPACES_ BLACK HOLES, WHITE SPACES

“INTO A BLACK HOLE” Arch 470/ Fall Term 2014-2015 Arzu Gönenç Sorguç, Fırat Özgenel, Müge Krusa
Black hole is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area and accepted as a very special point because of its singularity. It has no dimension both in three dimensional space and the fourth one: time, however it has very powerful gravitational force because of its density.This gravitational force affects the objects (white spaces) falling towards a black hole with different parameters in transparency, form, dimension and time. “Transparency” in white spaces is increasing while they are getting closer to the black hole because observing space is fading away and eventually disappears in black hole. Although the force of gravity is usually described as being directed towards the center of a black hole, the situation changes the form of white spaces. Imagine yourself falling feet first towards a black hole. Your feet are a bit closer to the black hole than your head is, so they're pulled a little more by gravity--and you get stretched a bit. In addition, your left and right hands don't fall along parallel lines, but rather both fall towards the center of the black hole. As a result, you're squeezed a bit as well. In this way, “form” is affected by gravitational force. “Size” of white spaces also decreasing while going through the black hole’s infinite density because the white space is getting smaller in order to increase its density.

process
“Time� is added as the fourth dimension to the three dimensional white spaces which are flowing over the edges to the black hole where the universe stops. Throughout the gravitating process, different phases are observed by changing time intervals. And these different phases, different time intervals are connected with black holes. And black holes which connect white spaces are also affected white spaces. While they are moving away from white spaces, the black holes decreases their sizes according to their distance to the white spaces.

With reference to famous doughnut-coffee cup example, homeomorphic surfaces have same topology. Doughnut and coffee cup with one handle which could be transform into each other continuously, on the contrary these two shapes cannot be obtained from a sphere or a cube by continuous transformations such as bending, stretching or shrinking. The main characteristic which determines possible shapes of an object is having holes which allow for transformation by not interrupting its connectedness. This connectedness provides continuity in form in such a way that “beginning and end” or “yesterday and tomorrow” could not be the same because transformation is still continuing, so the form is changeable throughout the transformation process.

REUSE OF AN OLD INDUSTRIAL BUILDING CHILDREN MUSEUM IN 100.YIL/ANKARA
CONTENT
“CHILDREN SPACE EXPLORIUM” Arch 202/ Spring Term 2012-2013 Mualla Erkılıç, Sinem Çınar, Duygu Tüntas
In the proposal of the children’s science explorium, the main aim is to increase the value of existing structures by using these characteristic forms in a different manner, by distortion of forms in three dimensional way. Distorted forms are differentiated from surrounding buildings with their monumental forms. To emphasize the form of the building, the landscape is kept simple by designing vast areas and hiding car parks underground. There is a strict seperation between two parts as public and semi public because children science exploriums should provide free space to children in order to learn. Also the ‘child’ concept is emphasized by designing a science and entertainment park, locating ramps, hanging objects which are all about the dynamism of children. A circular ramp which surrounds the planetarium (as a core of the building: gathering place inside of the building) provides all circulation between the levels. The spaces are organized according to different characteristics and different needs by considering space theme: audiovisual halls, window exhibitions, suspended objects, large areas for big objects(such as rockets or planes). Existing structures are used as an entertainment park which has a center about space( simulation spaceships, rockets,some statues from science fiction films) and 2 observatories, they will attract the children’s attention.
