04. MOSQUE DESIGN COMPETITION, GAZIANTEP-TURKEY- for 200 people, 3rd awarded The design has matured on 5 important values that integrate with the religion of Islam but are forgotten over time in a mosque architecture. Far from over-embellishment, it emphasizes its decoration with its form and use; transparent with the fluency of walls and glass surfaces that do not interfere with vision and passage; clear with the materials and technical transitions used; in harmony with its immediate surroundings, and the cultural and social values of its region; an inviting design has been created with unlimited and successive walls for a modest neighborhood mosque. It is simple but enriched by the diversity of living spaces and functions created by this simplicity; a regional center that will be shed light on the surrounding structures has been imagined.

While the axes transform into parallel walls and form the ablution structures with the technical volume supporting the mosque and mosque; the walls extending towards the Qibla define the classroom and the accommodation.

The project design, based on the dimensions of the prayer rugs, forms the pure lines of the prayer area of a prayer rider, measuring 70x125cm in length. These pure lines spread across the land, spatializing the boundaries, and walls; forms open, semi-open and closed areas. While the axes transform into parallel walls and form the ablution structures with the technical volume supporting the mosque and mosque; the walls extending towards the Qibla define the classroom and the accommodation. Continuing axles within the plot shape the park area and turn into urban elements such as stairs, hard ground, green area, recreation area, children’s playground and bicycle parking area.

In design, the mosque does not use the traditional inward-looking courtyard structure, but is an extroverted and interactive worship structure. Therefore, large spaces on the front are part of the outward worship. These gaps; sincerely, to the city and its dynamics; externally, they are elements of the building and those who worship. It has been used as the most important data in natural lighting, facade formation, and indoor lighting. The mass of the mosque formed by the rise of the stone walls has been lightened with glass surfaces.

The outer stone continues indoors, and wide glass surfaces connect the place of worship and the exterior caused a calm and clear design in the interior. Due to large openings on the facade, the dome was not exposed, and the mihrab was naturally illuminated from the side surfaces. It aimed to highlight the altar and dome in the interior.

While the mosque’s main worship structure is shaped according to the qibla axis (southeast), the units supporting the mosque and social facilities were requested to be formed in this direction or parallel to it. The aim is an integrated design in social life, which is the focal point of the region where the mosque is more than an independent design.

05. MOSQUE DESIGN COMPETITION - for 1000 people

A square mosque has been created in line with the current need programs and mosque typologies. Symmetry was used to place the spaces. Although the dome, which has been used in mosques due to its structural needs throughout history, can be solved with different techniques today, it has not lost its effect with its symbolic, traditional and interior gathering feature. The dome in the project is an architectural element that maintains the traditional mosque perception in the interior and uplifts the place both physically and spiritually, as it is a structure material used to pass the wide opening.

1-Using the window on the mihrab, while pointing direction of the Qibla, have enabled the place where the sect leader prayed to be illuminated with natural light. In the project, the mihrab wall stands out, both determining the direction of the Qibla from outside and providing light intake from the side surfaces. 2- With reference to the black basalt stone coating used in traditional mosques, gray basalt stone, and black aluminum sunshades were used in the project. 3- Traditional mosque-courtyard-park texture was taken into consideration and the newly designed mosque area was re-evaluated and interpreted accordingly. As a result, a design was developed in the combination of Mosque + Square + Park. 4- A rectangular plan close to the square was used in the project, which is suitable for the mosque plans of the region. 5- The small glass spaces in the dome was combined in the project, and the spaces along the beams were opened.

Perspective

The reinterpretation of the land has also allowed the editing of the program distribution. The decisive main pedestrian axis in the direction of Qibla connects the Square in the north with the Park area in the south. Shops, library and book sales units are located in a way that they are associated with the last congregation place and facing the square. Use of men and women is differentiated within the land. Male wc, ablution room, classrooms, chat room and multi-purpose hall units are located in the west of the mosque, while the units reserved for women, and the entrance of the mosque are on the east side. Open-top courtyards of different sizes were created around the mosque. While the square will be a relatively noisy place between the mosque and the commercial area, it has been left more lean as a gathering, transition and buffer area; The park is designed as a moving landscape with different functions (children playground, water playground, recreation, etc.) that can be spent time between mosques and cultural buildings. The movements used in the design are the same as the angles used on the outer wall of the altar. These angles were removed from the axes of the geometric pattern motif used as sun shades on the facades. As a residential area independent of all functions, the lodging houses are in a private area; It is designed as a part of the whole, independent of the mosque-square-park complex.

Yahya Çavus of Ezine symbolizes all of our known and unknown soldiers who bravely fought in Çanakkale War and became martyrs. For this reason, the museum structure includes all the soldiers on behalf of Yahya Çavus.

Different materials represent different soldiers on the floor and ceiling of the museum entrance. Inside, these materials unite and form a single floor, which represents our army of united soldiers. The road ends with a digital wall describing the victories of this army and the museum promotion begins.

After visiting the main hall of the museum, exit to the training area and then to the cafe-sales department. The training area provides visitors with books and digital archives about the region, and provides opportunities for research.

While stone walls suitable for the texture of the village constitute the main hall of the village, white walls represent other spaces. The large glass gaps that burst from the wall gained so that the visitor looks outside by showing it.

The existing trees in the land have not been touched. Following an ecological approach, the building was kept on the scale of village buildings in harmony with its surroundings. Solar panels are planned on the roof, so a self-sufficient structure is aimed with electricity generation.

ACADEMIC

The project site is located at Bilkent pond. The project is designed at the south coast of the pond. The bridge is designed to connect main and east campus of Bilkent University. The linear road is created for vehicle transportation and the curvilinear road for pedestrians. The aim of Eco-drone Center is using the best sustainable energy in the production, testing, and exhibition of environmental drones to have more green future. Sustainability in the developing world, the nature of technology has brought major contributions to the scope of use.

01. ECO-DRONE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER, ANKARA-TURKEY

Deforestation: The drones can perform a soil analysis by allowing the creation of realistic 3D maps. After analysis the soil, the planting of the seedlings. Regular checks are made on planted seedlings after irrigation in case of need performing. The first option is to use rainwater stored in the structure, as presented.

Agriculture friendly: After an analysis of soil samples, planting process. They get nutrients directly into the soil, sprouting seeds and placed as desired. Special thanks to thermal sensors and advanced imaging technique, and where part of the land that need water with nutrients should be supplemented can be determined. Spraying the right place for the ground the drones’ detection needs for sustainable agriculture thanks to its eco-friendly solutions.

Underwater life optimizer: Thanks to its special sensors, locate fishes and feeds them. The collection of fishes waste in agriculture as a fertilizer and allows it to be used. For the reproduction of fish eggs helps to establish an environment for water that may occur. Pumping oxygen and, if necessary, measure the level of oxygen in the water is performing. Water pollution, and the measurement of the rate of clearance is involved.

Smart windows are applied to building facades to provide savings in energy costs. Smart windows control the amount of light and heat into the building while the windows are able to run thanks to transparent solar cells. To save heating and cooling costs of the building during day to adjust the amount of sunlight through the windows were preferred.

Nitrogen oxides in the air to clean the air by neutralizing a titanium dioxide coating was preferred. With the rain coating the self-cleaning feature that embodies. The sun’s uv rays through the dirty air in the front when it reaches at the top of the titanium dioxide coating, the coating is formed by a chemical reaction between the chemicals in the smoke chemicals. Calcium nitrate, carbon dioxide and water break down into less harmful chemicals such as helps.

The community and recreation center is connected to various functions such as the square, architecture, landscape and space through diverse paths. Social relationships are generated by the nodes between these paths and elements. The sharp building style is designed on the exterior of the building, soft, and curvy form is preferred inside the building to catch balance between exterior and interior. The green artificial hill is designed within the landscape. Under the hill is used for the function of auditorium. Kinetic wooden components are used to create shade interior. The components move according to direction of sun to provide efficient sunlight.

03. TERRACED COHOUSING COMPLEX DESIGN, ANKARA-TURKEY Cohousing complex is designed for privacy as well as community. Residents balance privacy and community by choosing their own level of engagement. Generally cohousing communities typically adopt green approaches to living. Generally, cohousing offers individuals and families the opportunity to live in their private homes, with extensive common facilities. The presence of these shared properties allow residents to live in a more compact space, with resulting lower construction and heating costs. The cohousing complex is designed like a terrace with little private garden in order to use space efficiently. All houses have their garden in front of their residences.

Common facilities generally is preferred to under the green artificial hill and platform which provide many facilities such as pharmacy, laundry, and cafĂŠs. The cohousing design starts with one platform; under the platform is preferred common spaces, and above the platform more private with residences. Artificial green hill created under platform in order to have green and architecture together. Under the green hill used for some communal facilities. The connection with other side of the stream is provided by the bridges.

The project site is located near the Ankara stream. Reference for the site is stream of Ankara. During the site visit, the main problem for the site is smell of the stream. The design is shaped according to the reference of the stream. The stream has both pro that is natural beauty and con that is terrible state currently.

Concept: Feeling of sitting a nest.

My inspiration comes from natural environment. I first started my observation on working the birds, and their eggs, and nests. The elliptic shape of an egg leaded the shape of the chair to get wider to the outsides. Then the shape was achieved by filling inside the egg and shifting it in two, opposite directions. In the middle of the egg there is a core point from which all the linear elements are spreading out. The shape of egg is stabilized on the base of frame. Frames are designed as a slope to the back to make people who sit on, feel as comfortable as sitting on a cradle. The sitting and back part of main frame is designed as opposite direction of each other because of the fact that people who will sit on it, give a feeling of sitting a nest. The middle frame of chair, and its cushion was designed according to human body anatomy such as lumbar spine. When a person sits on the chair, it shapes depending on a lumbar spine. It makes people healthier. This system provides having a healthier position habit, and more comfortable sitting to people. The chair consists in three layer; main frame, middle frame and cushion. The middle frame is designed to hold cushion stable on it. The aim of main frame is to protect whole nest. Even tough, middle frame is designed as a flexible, the main frame is stable. Middle frame is moving and flexible to create more comfortable seat. There is a mechanism which is able to move back, and front between the mains and middle frame in order to provide coziness to people. Therefore, there is a space between main and middle frame to able to move easily. Egg shaped plate is placed on the base of main frame to support the frame and preserve the main idea of egg.

04. THE NESTED CHAIR ‘DRESS FOR COMFORT’, one of 6 finalists

The materials of the chair should give a natural sense for people because of the fact that my inspiration comes from nature. Therefore, the material of bamboo is decided to use for production. The two frame are consist in bamboo pieces. The production of the bamboo chair is started using glue in each linear piece of bamboo.

However, also screw is used in the some critical points of the chair such as the bearing part of it to get more strength. The other aim of the usage of bamboo is giving a message which is natural, peaceful, and fashionable because of its color. The fabric of the cushion is selected as a flax which is breed in the natural environment. As I informed, the material of flax is composed of the tree trunk and also has a fibrous tissue. The main reason that I choose the fabric is to keep cool in summer and to be useful and enduring. The other significant component of chair is legs. The legs of the chair is designed according to the composition of the chair. The chair frame has a slope so that the legs should be sloped. When analyzing the legs of the chair, one can see that they are designed using steel in a way that it does not destroy the unity and continuity of the frames. The legs consist of 3 main parts; two curved steel planes that touch the earth and carry the weight of the chair and an elliptic plate that was montaged to the bottom of the chair in order to achieve more stable structure. The steel legs of the chair were montaged to the plate with screw. The main reason of the choice of materials (bamboo, flax) was their natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly features. Also, I believe that, natural materials give much more comfort and peace to the users.

Layers of The Chair The chair was designed in rustic style to which bamboo would fit nicely. The chair can be used in different environments thanks to its fashionable feature. Its natural style would be relevant to the natural areas like gardens. On the other hand, its steel legs give the chair much more modern spirit which creates a chance to use the chair in modern houses, cafĂŠs, and so on. We can say that the chair is designed by using combination of a modern and rustic at the same time.

05. DANCER HOUSE, GOLBASI-ANKARA The aim of the project is designing a house for a dancer who will use the house like a home-office. The house has a big dance studio which is looking to the lake of Golbasi. Also, the house has a big garden in front of the studio the training of dance is done in the garden on summer.

The studio of dancer has a lake view in order to has more efficient time with students. The butterfly roof is preferred with skylights. The skylights generally are created above the common space like the studio and staircase. The dancer is married and has a child. The total occupants number is three in the house. Generally the common areas like kitchen and living room is located at ground floor. Also, the studio is located at the ground floor because of privacy. The students of the dancer are spent time at ground floor. Bedrooms and private bathrooms are located at first floor.
