autumn autumn The increase in urbanization plays an important role in the spread of rural areas, which are defined as a backyard from the perspective of a city dweller. The pastoral image created by the untouched natural beauties of the countryside is almost like a picture frame at peace when you look at it. Those who want to spend time in this framework turn their route into rural areas, are signs of permanent or temporary migration. The presence of water in the topography not only offers us different possibilities and activities which makes people come together (cohesion) but also confronts the fact that water is floods and currents. At a point, architects should need to think about the system that responds to this variety of situations. Water is an indispensable cause of attraction, especially if rural is located on a coastline.

The activities that the water establishes with the user create a countryside where tourism is dominated mostly. Increasing this domination means the increase in hotel structures serving the tourism sector. This creates a threat to the existence of public spaces. Countryside ignores that water is a threat and keep hosts more than the capacity into a single season-oriented. At this point, the countryside should have an infrastructure that responds to the states of water and the density of social gathering.

How can architecture cope with states of water and the density of social gathering that change radically every season in the rural? The mentioned infrastructure should not be considered only in technical terms. If we consider in this context that the non-existent systems in the rural area and the region under the domination of tourism are deprived of places where they can socially come together, what effect does redefining the infrastructure system have on the vision of the future in the rural?

Especially if we consider the existence of water that forms the borders of the rural? The presence of water in the countryside can be a both a threat and an advantage depending on the situation. If we consider the current social associations of the waterfront and the threats that exist in the dynamics of water, is it possible to think of a new social infrastructure spaces at the border and below the waterfront?

02: STORAGE OF FLOOD WATER AND SOCIAL GATHERING

Ağva is a countryside between two streams and the Black Sea coast. The presence of water is an incredible attraction figure for the local and non-locals. Due to its geographical structure, it attracts great attention especially in the summer season. This increase in population causes coordination to break down. The awareness of the current, which is the dangerous face of the sea, is not sufficiently understood by visitors. For these reasons, a recreation area has been designed in the extension of the breakwater, which is considered as the last point of Ağva. At the same time, considering the future scenarios that may occur due to the floods of the past, it has been taken into consideration that more water is stored in the inner parts of the tree and at the same time, the area allows the spaces to strengthen social cohesion.

Site 01: Breakwater, Recreational Space

The approaches of the buildings settled on the creek and sea shore in Ağva were examined and turned into a catalog. The design was shaped by taking this catalog as a reference. The breakwater side was considered more as a recreation area and was designed accordingly. It was built with architectural spaces that will explore the water by detecting both the entertainment element and the possible currents of the water movement. Hydraulic water systems were examined and became a part of the structure. Diving into the depths of the water on the vertical structure, offering the opportunity to observe and then rise up again. The issue of re-existence in the water is that the submarine that once sank during the second world war in Ağva was discovered during the project process and its memory was used.

Atlas cards made an important contribution in shaping the project. The combination of some words that encode rural, Ağva and the future has revealed the images behind the words. These images and narrative techniques have enabled architecture to be structured.

3 Profiles: Mapping the Narrative Encounters

3 Profiles aims to bring architect/outsider and local/ insider together by creating hybrid characters with a designer look and local experiences. 3 Profiles is an important tool for the approach involving situations/ times from a distance and imagining new life scena3 Profiles: Mapping the Narrative Encounters rios, futures and then architectures.

Considering that the flood events that existed in Ağva in the past may host larger floods in the future, the construction in this area has been raised from the ground. Water towers have been integrated into the structure in order to store water in possible future floods and transfer it to the existing advanced biology waste water facility in Ağva. These water towers also work together with the vertical circulation elements of the building. It has been enriched with architectural program proposals that contribute to the infrastructure and can bring together the local people in the local righteous social sense, especially in order to break the introversion of the local people of Ağva, especially in the winter season.
