Collective Imaginations This is a toilet project in Taksim Square which expands (like a baking croissant) with the increase of the heat (which can be related to people movements, animal movements, angle of the sun, density of cars, shadows pf buildings etc.) and shrinks in the opposite situation. You can find some ideas, mappings, a box model of the site with toilet and drawings about the project here.

The project is located at the intersection of several paths. The structures are placed in the same direction as the the flow. The cabins are designed to turn simultaneously as they move along with the flow outside. The user is conscious of the surroundings and other users. The aim of the toilet is to enhance the feeling of public space in a place that is usually prefered to be secluded, yet still preserve the feeling of privacy.

The toilet is placed between two walls that is designed based on the circulation mapping. Some parts of the wall are open in order to provide regular every-day movement. There is a central area for hand-washing and also a place on the upper part for the birds to sit.
In the mapping, the movement of the cars, tourists, animals, police, street sellers, birds,... were taken into consideration. This wall was designed to continue with the flow of movement and gather people at the same time.

Nature of solids tend to resist changes. The largest success of the kinetic against stability in history is rivers carving through land, creating paths and possibilities.
Ceci n’est pas une toilette. As a private space in the middle of the most public square in Istanbul, curving units have more than one purpose in order to break the public bathroom purpose and fully exist. The designs use the basic landscape elements such as slopes ramps and hills making it easier to gain different purposes at different times.

A toilet both exists and do not exist, is visible and invisible. Depending the movement in Taksim Square, these small public spaces move above the ground and comes to light. These public toilets allows visiters to rest and even socialize by letting them look at each others face and reminding the true self of social human that do not ignore people around.

ir-ruler is a design tool to create different areas with angles that are not uncomfortable to live or move inside. The shapes and patterns start from the most basic angles and as the user develops new combinations they become new templates.
With its shifting form, this ir-ruler allows one to follow changing paths and expands the drawing in three dimension. It contributes to the design process as it offers a broadened perspective and a new approach on drawing. It aims to encourage one to design as they draw.

Time Devices Measuring the
and Measurement
A clock is more a model of the universe than a time measurement. In modern time, time has turned into something that flows out of human and the time measurement says something about our perception of the universe.What if there is a change in the general conception of the time in our society and we have a new measuring device? Could it be wearable/portable that the body and place are organised together with time?

This time device measures time with motion. Let’s say you’re a person who’s always sitting. This device, which compels you to make different movements at the place where you sit, measures ‘your’ time. 1 motion corresponds to 1 time unit. What we call motion is that a bead in your hand follows the direction and gets into the other hand. At the end of the day, you can see how many units passed from the accumulated beads.
The brain usually cannot live the moment, while the body is living without our inclusion. If we focus on our bodies and our senses, we can live in it. This device stimulates body at different levels. The levels can change between low stimulation and extreme stimulation. If body is not focused in the low level, the level can increase until we sense it.

This time device measures the time according to the human movements for raising the awareness between time perception and movement of the people.
As we move throughout a day to do actions that may be certain or uncertain, our body parts scan certain amount of the space. The way it scans and the dimensions of this scan depends on the actions and the body parts we are doing it with. Generally these actions happens at certain time of a day. For example, we brush our teeth at morning time, we move our arms and heads, and our arms and heads scan the place.

The perception of time can be circular, linear or particular. But the devices that show the time in these forms have a common feature: they do not trace the time passed. Every unit, every turn is the same as the one passed and the turns take place in its own capsule. The purpose of ths design is to play with the perceptions, use them all at the same time and loose capsule, keep the trace on the skin.

Contrary to all the universal and commonly used time measurement devices, this device doesn’t measure the exact amount of time that passed with certain units. Instead, it measures the quality of the time spent. It doesn’t propose any new units either, a type of time is only measured relative to others. It aims to cause a realization and hopefully, increase the amount of quality time spent.

Most of the time, people are immersed in the flow of life and cannot stop and have the opportunity to look at themselves. When we move with this time divice, we will have the opportunity to stop and look at ourselves.
This time device measures time by locking one’s start point and leaving traces inside the space as every time owner moves around till their device time is over. Once their device time is over, one can re-lock their time in another place and start again. Measuring the Measurement

Collective Imaginations Time is usually measured by means of another subject; it starts at some point and ends in anotheras we perceive it. So I let’s think of this period as a trace that is left by us humans in the space we live in. When we start a journey at some point and end it in another or when we intersect at some other point we are letting this traces to define the time we have spent there and the memory we have left there of that time span. This time device leaves traces on something that interacts with the body and the environment surrounding us. The device has parts that are connected to different parts of the arms, legs, neck, hands, and those points work like a marker that paints the space based on the movement of the body. Different textures and types of marks can be left based on the type and material of the surrounding space like grass, wall, soil.
We make many bodily movements in certain time periods. Our movements according to the time flow are accelerated, slowed or repeated. It is designed to measure activity status during the day and to measure how much of a part of your body scans. The measuring device moves vertically and horizontally and is attached to the wrist. It keeps track of the time-dependent wrist movements. Our movements are more random at a time when you are in a hurry.Allows you to show the analysis of the intersections of the time zones you are in a hurry with the time periods you are calm. At the end of the day, you can see the line analysis of the movements on the paper. Your speed, motion, and time analysis are drawn on paper.

People sleep, wake up, leave and go. They’re always trying to get to some places. They come here, they pass through. When it is time for their bus, they rush. They want to catch. When they want to use the ship, and they have time, they wait. They walk more slowly. They are not aware of where they go through or they don’t care. But an institute will be built here. “The Institute of Calming”. and the story begins in Sishane.
Institute of Calming
site plan
The institute offers new opportunities for people in the region without interfering with their daily routines. People from the surrounding streets can spend time at the institute or pass by without stopping. The growing coating of the institute offers new opportunities for people. Mushrooms can be collected, and be consumed.

204 The construction of the institute is a bit troublesome. It is a structure made in a curved form in a narrow area. There are two types of materials that can grow in the coating of the institute which has a carrier material steel. They are able to reflect the conceptual texture of the Institute. One of them is bioreseptive panels. Plants are produced in the space above this material produced in the 3D printer. The other material is mycelium. This fungus tends to grow over time and spread to the environment.
Growing parts can be collected and consumed in the institute.

The foundation of the institute has several concepts: ‘bulutlama’, ‘topraklama’ and ‘ışıklama’. These concepts can multiply and decrease in the daily life of the institute. In a way, it produces its own concept during time..

‘Bulutlama’ people come from different places, gather together, concentrate, spend time and dissipate in different places. ‘Topraklama’ people are maturing in the soil, growing up, and being trained. ‘Işıklama’ people light up and relax.

Institute of Daily Cycles of Azapkap覺 The institute is located at the end of the famous Yan覺kkap覺 Street, between the historic wall of Genoa and the old Yesildirek baths, where the new metro bridge starts. The historic significance of the place is slowly fading away as its shadowed by the daily cycles and flows occuring simultaneously yet seperatly at the place, unaware of eachother . The aim of this institute is to bring those cycles and people together to work collectively, and give someone who passes by a sense of both history and the daily use of the area, moving the person through all the processes going on.

After the product is offloaded, the paper/cardboard box is carried back to the underground area. Paper collectors that come to the Institute in the afternoon collect these waste paper and take them to be recycled.

Intitute of Shifting is tranforming, anti-dwelling, transporting,changing, harvesting, replacing and reconnecting. It is a space made of ramps, re-connecting people of Tahtakale where old is being ruined due to urban transformation and families are forced to leave their homes. Tahtakale is also where families find a new home in Istanbul. Between all these ever-changing surrondings and chaos, Institute of Shifting is where you find peace and feel connected to Tahtakale.

The everyday life of Institute of Shifting are transforming and made of many daily, monthly, yearly activities. Time in institute is personal For someone who is using Institute only for the ramp, it is 6 minutes. For someone who is there for harvestig, it may be 5 weeks. For someone who is cooking for dinner, it is 2 hours. For a tree in centre, it is 10 years.
Whenever people see the smoke, they will know someone is cooking in institute and someone is calling for them. Someone is inviting them. Whenever one is going down on ramps and hear laughs of children who are riding on a swing, one is gonna feel home with his/her children. One who sees all of the green and red on facade will know it is time for harvesting and maybe one will grab a basket and join the community and share the joy of growing together. One will shift those products to oven, one will shif them to storage. On a cold night in winter, a homeless will find a hot surface to sleep on. Community will grow and reconnect, shift and transform together.

Collective Imaginations Event 4 With the building of Silahtaraga Power Plant in 1914, electricity was provided in the urban scale first for trams, then for streets and households. With the wider distribution of electricity, urban life changed drastically, extending the time to stay outdoors and supporting consumption, shopping and nightlife. Using electricity at workspaces and houses transformed everyday life by extending the daytime towards nighttime. Almost a hundred years after the building of the first power plant in Istanbul Veliefendi Hippodrome and night-time horse races started.
Next to the halic subway bridge there is a gap which is disconnected with people, locked; can this gap connect layers of this multilayered place?
what is a day? how light changes everyday life? how light regulate the activities we make? can we change the time by controlling the light?
nobody notices eachother at this crowded place nobody notices the time that passing...
can an institute use light as a ‘‘time changer’’ and make people to notice surroundings and the time?

INSTITUTION OF REGAIN aslı gökçe
The project area of the institution is in Yenikapı, across from the remains of the metro and archeological excavataions. The area is the crossing point of many people with different backgrounds and social issues. Depending on a period of observations, it is fair to say that somehow these people and issues remained isolated from each other. It is also fair to sat that one of the reasons is that when the excavations for the subway started, most of the people that lived there at the time left and the ones that stayed did not meet the ones that came to the empty space. Since this area was empty for discomfort related reasons the people that rehabited it were the ones in uncomfortable situations. The aim of the Institution of Gathering was set as a purpose of introducing these people to each other and the problems to the “street made” solutions.
institution of regain
The colorful and collage-like view of the area planning creates a crowded and squeezed space for daily life. The structural design purpose of the institution is set to be both mixed in with the rest of the street and create voids gardens and terraces in order to create a breathing gap in the middle of the crowd.

The student population here is too much to be ignored as well as the people that don’t know how to read and write or the Turkish language as a need to live in the country. The library and the classroom/workshop areas are for sharing information and holding workshops .The structure is connected to all of the institution in order not to capture the activity inside, but create possibilities and paths for spreading the sharing of the information.
The leftovers of the bazaar are carried to the public kitchen where the temporary visitors of the institution, the people that join the workshops and the people of current YenikapÄą gather to eat for their second chance of introduction.

Between the public kitchen and the library there is the inner garden which is a social area by being completely open to the street and inviting with shadows and terraces. There is acces to these terraces from the living units and the library so that the flow ofthe movement is not discontinuous and encounters are more likely to happen.

The aim of the
institute of unexpected intersections is gathering these different cultures and people in Kumkapı with using the calendar.
This institution,
when the green part
tries to be a space that we can understand the calendar regarding to that space-the activities in it.

Almanac used as a synonym for calendar, also between this two words there is a little difference. An almanac is an annual publication listing a set of events forthcoming in the next year.

This Kumkapı calendar/almanac is showing the time and the space of the institute, but it is not like the every calendar it can change with the weather, with different situations and with the unexpected intersections. Every year new events can be added to the Kumkapı almanac and also to the institute.

Collective Imaginations The project all started in Kumkapi. An empty area beside an old defence tower which belongs back to constantinopole. The events I decided to work with are Refugees and the touristic map of Istanbul.. The interesting things for me were the traces people have left in site in a long time and the effects humans and land have had on each other. The important locations in this area for me were the defence wall and the defence tower.
trials of 1/500 model, using dough to show the impotance of the ground
linoleum print to mark traces.
and the
analizing movement of daily life how do people percieve eachother? refugees, the behaviours of space and people.
weaved 1/500 model to connect the structure with the ground and its layers

The idea of control points on the surface to make it more responsive
Comparison of the finalised project and the development. The stable surfaces turned into changing fabrics, and the fabrics tranformed into steel sheel and elastic skin.

The final idea turned into a structure which is a public garden and changes based on the things that people want to do there. It consists of a steel shell which provides a stable space and an inner and outer skin which are made of elastic fabric. The joints of steel shell are connected to the fabric by a hydraulic system which can be pulled or pushed by the people who use the space and new spaces can be created on both sides of the steel shell. Some parts are darker and some parts get more light. some are more porous and some are closed. Different types of plants can grow based on the needs of the plants. The structure conveys the idea of temporariness, and the things that the people of kumkapi do there would leave a trace each time. The structure acts like a body language that provides a space for humans to react to each other without a need of a language. These sections here how the possible changes of space that could happen in the structure.
