S2OSB’s façade expresses not only the building’s character but also its function. The façade, made of thoughtfully crafted metal, wraps around the building and helps communicate the structure’s multi-faceted purpose: from head offices to the conference hall (170 seats). At the conference hall, the geometrically textured shell starts with mostly solid panels followed by perforated panels, increasing rhytmically until they detach as a double facade that filters controlled daylight to the offices. The interior is camouflaged by the exterior whereas the users can see outside. Daylight continuously changes the look of the anodized, satinated, folded, and mathematically orchastrated metal exterior. At night, the lighting design reiterates a dual purpose: at the solid facades, lighting is integrated into rhytmically distributed The interior consists of two separate foyers: one serves the offices and the other— the auditorium. The grand canopy allows access on both sides, which provides a semi-enclosed space for larger activities or programs. The conference hall fits inside the solid panels: the inner shell is made of acoustacilly engineered, geometric, laminated wood panels. The natural stone and wood create a warm atmosphere inside, in contrast to the cold metal exterior. The offices are designed specifically for executives and engineers who are in charge of the industrial district and its shared facilities. The building serves the day-to-day needs of the industrial complex but also becomes a bridge to public use by inviting a global audience to its conference hall, for the exchange of knowledge. perforfated panels, which then gets fully perforated at the offices where the internal lighting expresses an alternative perception of the facades’ pattern. Thus, the façade is dynamic and expressive of the building’s purpose in an artful way.

JURY: Prof. Dr. F. Gülşen Gülmez Yrd.Doç.Dr.Özgür Bingöl Prof. Dr. N. Oğuz Özer Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kerem Özel Prof. Dr. İlkay Koman Cem Sorguç LOCATION: ŞİŞHANE/ İSTANBUL

Beyoğlu is one of the most dynamic cultural and artistic area of İstanbul. International artists and researchers from different disciplines spend their time mainly in Beyoğlu. The proposed project aim to create a library that artists and researchers can not only utilise but also assist to improve the archive. Thus, the library can create authentic and updated content with network and flow. There are two entrances in the project. First entrance opens to exhibition hall and conference hall also is related with library unit. Second entrance opens to the foyer of library.First entrance is placed in public space, but second entrance is placed in semi-public space. This criteria provides dynamism to the project in the different functions.

ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT - 4 / MSGSU

ADVISOR: CEM SORGUÇ LOCATION: LEVENT/İSTANBUL

Levent Towers Zone being an important part of İstanbul’s business sector becomes prominent as a prestigious area. In this context, it is possible to mention about a mature identity. However, that there is no public space where employees working in the zone and visitor can spend time and attend different social events has a negative effect on identity and prevents sense of belonging. The zone located between E5 -TEM has a stronge relation with the bridge and airport and an important potential but there is a major traffic problem because it was constucted without solving transportation infrastructure. As there is no designed pedestrian way and square and vehicle priority, security problems and limited pedestrian access can be observed. Business zone of the city should be important space to express not only economic development but also cultural and artistic development. Therefore, Levent Theatre Project is proposed to improve cultural- artistic events and pedestrian access in the zone.

OLTRE LA LINEA

ADVISOR: Prof. Dr. Alberto Carlo Cozzani LOCATION: SPOTORNO-NOLI / ITALY TEAM: Serena Cambiaggio / Chiara Castagnola / Luca Corolla / Mario Di Sibio / Gianmaria Grasso Gigliola Genta / Xiangyu Han / Martina Ivaldi / Burcu Kara

The project area is situated in Italy, in Liguria region between Spotorno and Noli communes, on the waterfront through significant transportation axis of Aurelia. On the waterfront, there are public and private beaches. Except these areas, the waterfront is inactive. Spotorno and Noli communes contain various different dinamics such as termal facilities, hotels,mountain biking facilities. The aim of project is to create vital public and private space bringing close these dinamics on a unique spine through the waterfront. On that spine, there are three main focuses - one is central focus- The waterfront and the communes are integrated with the project. Pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle roads are refunctioned layer by layer.

BRIDGE-BUILDING OVER THE VLATAVA RIVER ADVISOR: Prof. Dr. Alberto Carlo Cozzani LOCATION: PRAG / CZECH REPUBLIC TEAM: Serena Cambiaggio / Chiara Castagnola / Luca Corolla / Mario Di Sibio / Gianmaria Grasso Gigliola Genta / Xiangyu Han / Martina Ivaldi / Burcu Kara

The concept behind “Lively Path” is to merge two different realities: residential areas and public spaces, in order to create a new key point for the city of Prague. The bridge is fully integrated in both natural and urban environment mixing them into one structure that allows the traffic to passthrough and in the meantime offers a green linear park inspired by the concept of the typical spanish rambla. This solution enables to mantain a vertical distance between this two paths that is fundamental for the wellness of the pedestrians. However it is always possible to switch between the two levels thanks to a series of ramps, which conduce you to a large parking lot all along the bridge. The road level divides the nine towers in two different parts: the lower is public, where commercial activities and services for the inhabitants are situated, where as the upper is private. The apartments levels are designed to let in the sunlight and the view of the river, in order to create an armonic ambient perfect to escape from the urban chaos. The Rambla too reflects the same idea. People, indeed, can walk through it without being troubled; the path isn’t interrupted by any structure and it’s characterized by the presence of green spaces for relaxing and panoramic-view points. The hub of all public spaces coincides with the two angles of the bridge, which are intended to be a cultural center. These towers are also the connections hub, as they link the bridge with the island.

DORMITORY OF BILGI UNIVERSTY ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT - 1 / MSGSU

ADVISOR: Yrd.Doç.Dr.Özgür Bingöl LOCATION: EMNİYETTEPE /İSTANBUL

The area of Bilgi University constructed between 1910 and 1957 was the first energy power plant of The Ottoman Empire. The energy power plant maintained its importance during republic period, as well. The area was unoccupied between 1986 and 2004 because of termination of activity. Today, Bilgi University is located in the some parts of the area and an energy museum, contemporary arts center, galleries, library, restaurants, public space are situated in the other parts of area. Refuctioning of the area has generated some dynamics in the area but out of area in the region could not be active. The students out of campus do not spend a lot of time in the area. Therefore, the relation between student life restricted by campus and region is weak. The proposed project aims to provide an opportunity of students’ life outside of campus and to link with environment.

In this enstalation; I would like to express ‘migration’ is not only about physical movement but also related with journey in time. Its base on my subjective exeminations. Migrant identitiy which is accepted low class in society, cannot transform easyly to citizen identity because of offical process and physicologic reasons. The most importany nocion is ‘time’ about migration. People have to wait for unpredictable results. Seeing waiting migrants impressed me many times. I tried to made people demonstrate same experiments in a dark box which covered by strips and different sounds included childen voice, war effects, religion places sounds.. That is reality of migration which is not always gloomy, also it can be sometimes energic and happy.
