PORTFOLIO Gizem Kadıoğlu
“Form encompasses a harmony of systems, a sense of Order, and that which distinguishes one existence from another. Form is the realization of a nature, made up of inseparable elements. Form has no shape or dimension. It is completely inaudible, unseeable. It has no presence; its existence is in the mind. You turn to nature to make it actually present. Form precedes Design. Form is “what.” Design is “how”. Form is impersonal; Design belongs to the designer.“

The City in Between A Social Platform Proposal in Between Three Bridges of Istanbul’s Golden Horn Master Thesis in Architecture November 2016- December 2017 Supervisor : Prof. Antonella Contin Co - supervisors : Narges Golkar, Hamza Benacer As the major transportation, business, tourist and cultural hub in Turkey, Istanbul is a metropolitan city formed by water and topography. Even though, the water is the main element that differs Istanbul’s cityscape from the other metropolitan cities, this relation is fainting everyday with the each government’s Neoliberal economical policies. This thesis is concentrates one of the Istanbul’s historical waterfronts. The research is starting from analysing the historical Dna of Istanbul with its distinctive elements and the formation of a public space in a city that is developed and re-developed through history by several layers. Several analysis were made in order to figure out the most appropriate strategy. The methodology is based on connecting the bigger scale and smaller scale voids with both pedestrian and mechanical axes throughout the piercing points. At first the the layers of the city analysed and most appropriate axis were chosen. The project area is well connected from both sides in differ from other neighbourhoods of Istanbul. This methodology allows a continuous connection of the important buildings and public spaces for the creation of pleasant walking paths in order to increase the inner quality by developing inner connectivity. The proposal works with the city on metropolitan, urban and architecture levels. The architectural project focuses on the Eminönü Square, one of the major junction points of Istanbul’s historical peninsula, which is right now transforming into a space where the citizens of the city only visit as “domestic tourists”. The architectural project aims to create an experience in the area with a dynamic movement in between the landmarks of the Eminönü square and the elements of the architectural project.

The continuing investment in Istanbul ‘s infrastructure and mega projects is converting the city into a really populated urban agglomeration and made inhabitants mostly dependent on the cars as a transportation. In addition to this, because of the labyrinth-like structure of the street fabric, accessibility is a problem.Even though Istanbul is a city surrounded by water there is no strong relation with the sea in the waterfront. In most of the waterfront areas are poorly designed especially the public green parks. Another problem of the Istanbul is the loss of the dynamism of the street life. Especially in the last 10 years of Istanbul, the old street life was replaced by the shopping malls. All the activities that street life was supplied to the people became a part of the huge shopping mall complexes. The main idea of the strategy is converting the area in between the Yenikapi and Dolmabahce to a dynamic city centre. Another key point is to turn back Istanbul to its previous characteristics as a city can also be perceived as unique sensory experience from the sounds, colour, smells, textures. The first goal of the strategy is to revitalise the liveliness of the streets and make people adjust the city life. To achieve this goal, several axes were defined within respect to the old structure of the city.The four main axes can also be seen in the old city plans but lost their visibility due to urban agglomeration of Istanbul. Furthermore, these axes will enhance the interpretation of the Byzantine and Ottoman character of the city. The second goal of the strategy is the achieve pedestrian mobility and lighten the problem of transportation that inhabitants of the city face in daily life. Several transportation systems were proposed in between axes.

Chapter B_ The Area in Between Yenikapı and Dolmabahçe
Istanbul is expanding through three sides, (North, East and West) which resulted in Eminonu in the city centre all the time. Also which can be deprived of the population and land use analysis the area is one of the most populated and growing areas of the city. Eventhough the area is well connected compare to the other areas of Istanbul most important parts of the square is left with unidentified voids expecially on the waterfront. The waterfront area right now using as a bus stop and harbour mostly used by touristic purposes. The aim of the site plan is to create a movement between the streets and important points of the project area. From every axis the flux is coming to openness then change direction to a closure, to have the perception of the old streetscape of Istanbul. By doing this, its is aimed to have an urban imagination with in the site. Several installations and services were also added. To achieve this, the urban grid referring to Süleymaniye Social Complex ( Külliye) is used. The urban grid is changing due to landmarks and orientation of the site. Every line of the site plan is referring to important element located in the project area. After the grid system is located in the site areas referring to different purposes were defined in relation to axes and people fluxes coming from the analysis of the urban strategy. One of the key point of the site plan is to create spaces both on hard and soft landscape where the citizens of the city can be involved in the city and revitalize the relation with the water. Furthermore, the vehicle road coming from Sirkeci and Galata Bridge were taken under until the Gümüşpala Street to create a continuous experience between the landmarks.

The project is referring to the palimpsest character of Istanbul. The idea is to experience the cityscape from different levels. The project consists of three exhibition floors and urban terrace in between. The underground level is starting from the Eminonu Square and going down through the building. Load bearing walls and wall elements were added to create the feeling of Istanbul’s cisterns. The ground floor level for interactive art space for gathering. Accessibility to building is maintained by two entrances one from Eminonu Square and one from Gumuspala Street. In between those entrances an open circulation space is design for continuous flux of the people. In between two exhibition floors there is a urban terrace for panoramic view and communication with the city. The terrace is surrounded by different views of the city. Galata, Suleymaniye Mosque and Eminonu Square with Yeni Camii and Spice Bazaar. This is terrace is also accessible from outer staircase from waterfront and a bridge from the new platform. In this terrace point of view is changing with ceiling becoming higher towards the Yeni Camii give the perception of openness.

Lib-arch Scientific Library in Nordhafen, Berlin, Germany in collabration with Anna Mikhailova and Eoin Bennet
Design Studio II Spring 2015 - 2016 Architecture Design : Prof. Stefan Vieths Landscape Design : Matteo Aimini Interior Design : Prof. Nicolo Carlo Maria Riva The project addresses the construction of architectural form within a specific urban context, beginning from the discussion of the current state of the european city, with its character of randomness, fragmentation and stratification. The proposal is based on a morphological research of architecture understood as Baukunst (art of construction) than an affirmation of architecture as mere image. From this point of view architecture results from a multidimensional dialectical process that, within its location, is capable of producing new ordinances for the built environment and, at the same time, providing an architectural theme to its specific identity. In the process of concretisation of the architectural form, the relation between formal logic and sustainable construction takes a central role. The site is located in Nordhafen, Berlin.To the west it is bordered by railway tracks and to the east by the Berlin-Spandauer shipping canal. To the south it ends at Invaliden- strasse immediately across from the Europaplatz and the central station, while its northern border consists of the Nordhafen and Perleberger Strasse. While the areas formerly used by the railway are largely derelict, north of DĂśberitzer Strasse there are some fragmented peripheral building blocks. At the southern end of Heide- strasse, the Landessozialgericht is located in a listed building. Immediately next to it, the Muse-um fĂźr Gegenwart located in the Hamburger Bahnhof is one of the key art exhibition spaces in Berlin. A lively art and gallery scene has emerged in its vicinity within the in recent few years. The project concept is based on creating a new cultural hub to the city. The proposal is a combination of Berlin idea to the context. The urban and architectural grids of the context and the linearity is also used. A new landscape and an event design for the openning of the library is also designed as a part of the landscape and interior parts of the project. 22

Green Leafing UK Pavillion Design for Dubai Expo 2020 in collabration with Mohamed F. AbdelKarim and Eleni Triantafyllidou
Building Technology Studio Fall 2015 - 2016 Architectural Design: Ingrid Paoletti, Structure Design: Elena Mola Energy and Building Physics: Claudio Del Pero In 2020, Dubai’s World Expo is held under the theme of “ Connecting Minds, Creating the future” echoing the spirit and effort UAE’s is trying to be pioneer in through new paths of development innovation. The site for World Expo 2020 is the Dubai Trade Center in Jebel Ali, a 438 hectare site that lies in a strategic location that is equidistant from Abu Dhabi and Dubai International Airports.The location, on the south-western edge of Dubai.The proposed United Kingdom pavilion located South West of the site. As a team we began to analyse in details the climatic conditions of the site and based on it different sustainable solutions have been emerged and carefully to the pavilion implemented. The aim of the proposal is to create a sustainable building by using the United Kingdom’s innovative technological systems. The concept is based on the ‘Oak Tree”, the most common and characteristic symbol of the UK since the Roman times. The form of the building is based on the abstraction of the oak tree leaves. The concept of the proposal also emphasises with two strong elements ‘“tree columns” that are located in the centre of the exhibition space. The pavillion consists of an exhibition space. Cafe/bar area, outdoor terrace, offices for the staff. Utilities room and an extra layer of shading added around the pavilion a mesh with leaf shape components that are also used as LED devices to illuminate the exterior facade during the night.The density of the leaves is changing according to the amount of the solar radiation on the different facades. The structure combines a curtain wall glass system and high reflective aluminium roof. The South facade is made of autoclaved aerated concrete in order to decrease the amount of heat that is transmitted into the pavilion by the high solar radiation. 32

Urban Space Network Social Housing Design in Certosa, Milan, Italy in collabration with Lorenza Esposito and Selin Serçe
Design Studio II Spring 2014 - 2015 Architectural and Urban Design: Kulbushan Hansraj Jain Architectural Composition: Marco Bovati Interior Design : Kulbushan Meenakshi Jain The site is located in Certosa neighbourhood.In broader context, the industrial, commercial and residential zones are strictly seperated from each other and there is a disconnection with the organization of the spaces. Furthermore, the area is problematic with highway and interrupted industrial blocks. To connect urban spaces and green spaces it is created 3 main pedestrian flows, to have a new dynamic neighbourhood. It is attempted to merge the zones with public circulation by providing series of public events and by adding suplementary functions to our site its wanted to interact social housing with the whole neighbourhood. The project is defined by 3 pedestrian flows : _the main access _unifying the Industrial and Housing Zones _unify Housing With Public Spaces The east side of the site is going to be the public surface of the site. The main axis is for participation from broader context and also connecting the industrial and commercial zones by passing through major public spaces which are for series of public events.It’s the connection from Viale Certosa. After the establishment of urban approach, the users of the area is analysed and the social housing complex is designed to the users of the area and their needs. On the architecture level project is designed due to the pedestrian flows and their interaction within the site. On the ground level, services and leisure activities for gathering people of the community is located. The different types of housing is also considered for students, seniors, couples and families.

Town Planning Design Studio_ Pompeii Laboratory Fall 2014 - 2015 Urbanism: Isabella Sara Inti Urban Design: Paola Pellegrini Architectural Design: Caterina Padoa Schioppa The landscape and landform of Vesuvius requires a decent comprehension of the existing elements and how they transform throughout history. The analytical approach of variable factors; focusing on the relation between nature and human such as the lava flows and their impacts, economic developments mainly in the agricultural area, the system of woodlands and geological/biological aspects of the region have led us realize how they are intertwined. This conjunct relation created problems in the region such as the disorganized land usage of the periphery, which amplifies significant social and urban disconnections. The lack of existing public facilities and resources has constricted the interest in this area which triggered the enhancement of illegal presence of buildings inside the natural park. To solve them, the natural and artificial layers of Vesuvius were studied as a unified system and it was divided in “Transversalities” to transform distributed maps and enable nodes of attraction along the mountain. The project focuses on two of these systems which include the main archeological sites and examines profoundly the impact of the landscape on settlements, in order to generate solutions in these areas for contemporary urban demands. With these “paths” and “systems” the aim is to improve the quality of accessibility to the volcano from different parts of the region such as the coast and the city, and linking strong formations in the area. As the third element of the study, these transversalities were interconnected with a continuous ring of intervention, working as an adaptive slow-mobility path, surrounding the different landscape characteristics of the region.

The Po coast-line is characterized by a strong variability and dynamism; this condition permeates elements, factors and processes and defines its priceless ecological value. The coast-line we can look at is the result of the interaction among the mobile nature of water flows and the banks containing it. It comes from multiple geological processes and from the level of the water, but it’s also impacted by human activities which have modified land-water points of contact. From this process of continuous erosion and construction, an irregular and changing limit arises. At the same time its strategic position - not far from the city and from main national transportation lines - makes this river-front as the ideal space for interchange.

Bee Alive Design of Bee Keeping Area in Bosco in Citta, Milano, Italy in collabration with Anıl Sevil and Wilson Zarate
Terraviva Workshop_ Earth Services “Landscape in Art and Science” June, July 2016 Prof. Richard Ingersoll Prof. Elisa Cattaneo Nowadays, the city is seperated from urban farming and beekeeping, the city is divided in zones, wild forest, agricultural areas, urban farming, and residential and commercial areas. We wanted to propose a new urban area with human and nature connection. After our studies about the honeybees and beekeeping, we divided the site in 3 different zones : _ education zone _ buffer zone _ bee keeping zone The existing program of beekeeping education, which takes place in this area, make us design a new education area where the people can interact with the bees. We located the education zone and beekeeping zone to the edges of the site and create a buffer zone in between for protection and also by planting different kinds of flowers to produce different kinds of honey. The plants will be planted are : _Asters _Black-eyed Susans _Zinnias _Lavenders _Rosemary Our design concept based on the movement of the honeybee, honeybee does not move in a straight direction, it creates a wave motion.The circulation of the site is designed due to waggle dance of the honeybees. For the last,we designed an observation box, also for the other people who can watch bees and the honey keepers. ts of the architectural project. 60

Nexus_ requalified network of anamnesis Intervention Project in Huntspoint Bronx in New York City,USA in collabration with Pelin Ulçay, Deniz Ece Sevilmiş and Faruk Baran Heybeli
International Exchange Program, April 2016 “New York Institute of Technology_ Politecnico di Milano”
Metabolism of a City_ “Post Industial Waterfronts New York “ Prof. Antonella Contin (POLIMI) Prof. Giovanni Santamaria (NYIT) Prof. Micheal Moreno (POLIMI) Hunts Point is the location of one of the largest food distribution facilities in the world, the Hunts Point Cooperative Market. Nexus is a self - sustaining project aimed to requalify the selected area by transforming it from the linear metabolism to the circular one. The project is consists of various hinge points which are selected to be the focal points of the project that all the public facilities are held and connection elements are used as tools to link these points with a systematic way to create the continuity within the functional network. Problems: The functional isolation between the existing areas The risk of flooding draws an attention to create a prevention in the river. A lot amount of car waste is decreasing the potential of using these areas. Food market is isolated with barbed wire which prevents its integration with public. It is witnessed that the existing green spaces are too separate and not enough Possible Solutions. By consolidating the functions the integration and access between the areas is formed. By creating floating modules on the river, this prevention could be provided. By reusing the car waste areas it is possible to convert them into harvesting areas and art facilities. By re-function the food market it is aimed to open the borders and make it usable by public By connecting the existing green areas with the cured green a more uniform green system could be established 64
