In our team’s overall design approach, we are trying to integrate the contextual information we gathered from site analysis with a gridal accumulation of housing units. Blocks having the widths of 10, 15 and 20 meters, various in length are put on top of each other creating circulation cores on the intersection points. Furthermore, not to separate housing units from social spaces, the blocks are rotated and then accumulated. This procedure defines roof gardens and functional social spaces under, over and next to the housing units. These areas are preserved for libraries and co-houses but also can be used for other functions as well.

stimulative emphaty architectural design studio IV location: ayvalık, balıkesir, turkey status: academic, individual (only the nolli and cognitive map are groupwork) date: 3rd year second semester may 2016 supervisors: aydan balamir, kadri atabas, Conflict, emigration, unbelongingness. These three words are sufficient enough to define the lives of the refugees. However, one refugee may not even surpass the conflict and reach to the other part. On the other hand there is only one word that could strengthen the weak pshycological bond we have with refugees and that word is empathy. In our design course, we are expected to relate to current refugee problems while designing a museum. In this regard, the phases of a refugee’s life were the main concerns while developing my design concepts. In my opinion, empathy was a word which should be emphasized in the design, not only by some guideline concepts but also with its spatial attributes. Designing an exhibition space in this context should include provocative and stimulative means of experiencing the space with respect to underlying scenario, in this case “refugee crisis”. Off course functionality is another criteria, but in this case not a primary one. Perception of the governing scenario is much more important by the inhabitant. In this process the architect directs and arranges the visitors experience like the sequences of frames in a film.

summer house structural design studio II location: ankara, turkey design partners: ozan yetkin, mert yavuz status: academic, groupwork date: 3rd year second semester may 2016 contributions: concept design, 3d modelling, drawings, renders, structural system design, calculations supervisors: halis gĂźnel, bekir Ăśzer ay In this hypothetical summer house project, students were expected to design a house for 4 people family. The key point was the structural and technical issues to be resolved as qualitative as possible. Structural system was assigned as reinforced concrete. With our design team, we discovered the possibilities and extremes of this conventional structural material. Our design team conducted many structural calculations to ensure and verify the stability of the building.

architectural design studio V location: ulus, çankaya, ankara status: academic, individual date: 4th year first semester january 2017 supervisors: aysen savas, funda bas butuner, onat oktem, pınar yazdıç “The edge was not only the domain of the sick and the aberrant ... but was also one of often highly profitable dirty industries, irregular relations and intrigue, and was one of the passing of money, goods and favors between the town and rest of the world. The edge certainly often became a frontier, but aproductive frontier rather than a barrier ... ” ( Read 2006, 78) “In the space of the border, architecture intersects with dilemmas of flow, control, identity and belonging. The scale of such dilemmas range from geopolitical to liminal spaces. But as lines of division between political, social, ecological or moral borders, borders are also subtle and ubiquitous protagonists in the poetics of daily life absorbing the desires that exist in the margins of legality and the possible”. ( .Think .Space Competition 2011 ) “ ... the interior milieu is the zone of residence( the home, shelter or adobe); the exterior milieu of the terrritory is its domain; the intermediary milieu is composed by the (usually mobile) limits or membranes separating the territory from others( constituting the border or boundary )...”(M.Bonta & J.Protevi, Deleuze & Geophlosophy A Guide and Glossary, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Press, 2004, p.158.)

unfolded morphosis architectural design studio VI location: bologna, italy status: academic, individual date: 4th year second semester june 2017 supervisors: aysen savas, arzu gönenç sorguç, onat oktem, pınar yazdıç While wandering in the streets of Bologna, an architect can easily recognize the linearity of the activity patterns imposed by the characteristic element of the city, Portico. An element, so powerfull, that can create an intermediary threshold between the explicit, well - known streets and implicit, unknown, interiors. However, in terms of spatial experience, it provides limited movement patterns in specific directions which are based on the ground floor between the well-defined interiors and exteriors of the city. New student center in Filippo Re area tries to find prospective spatial relations to break those activity patterns and expand them in a multi - dimensional and multi directional manner. The position taken with the ground floor organization and overall morpho - genetic form creates a gesture to the city of Bologna, trying to reinterpret the cities existing spatial qualities and reflect them back with its own unique understanding of space-making strategies.

CSSC CENTRO STUDENTESCO SERVIZI COLLETTIVI in FILIPPO RE BOLOGNA Bologna is known for its University, ALMA MATTER STUDIORUM, which is the first and oldest in the world. It was the first place of study to use the term "universitas" for the corporations of students and masters which came to define the institution as a space for creativity and reasoning supported with collective initiatives. Only the selected list of its graduates / alumni is enough to show the strength of the institution and the role of current students / alunni for the formation / alere of resent futu re. Among the alumni of University, there are Leon Battista Alberti, Albrecht DĂźrer, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Pier Paolo Passolini. The university inhabits an immense wealth of important medieval, renaissance, and baroque architectural monuments. Occupying almost one quarter of the city, the university buildings are spread in the dense structure of the urban layout. The two main axes, Via Zamboni and Via delle belle Arti are defined with the entrances, arcades, porticoes, walls..., of the existing University buildings. This very particular urban environment changes drastically depending on the functions and duration of activities taking place in these historical edifices. The Filippo Re area is the final point of these major University roads and located adjacent to the fortification walls of the city. The goal of the project is to design a center for the students of the University. The major challenge is the radical difference between the day and night, work and holiday, inside and outside. The decisions will transform into a structural composition which will accommodate a desired living and working "platform" for students of Bologna University.

unfolded morphology of a precarious city location: tarlabasi, beyoglu, istanbul, turkey status: UIA-HYP CUP 2016 competition entry, groupwork contributions: concept design, design statement, 3d visuals design partners: dersu deger, hasan huseyin ozdurmus, ozan yetkin date: 3rd year summer August 2016 supervisors: aydan balamir aydan.balamir@gmail.com The main objective of the Ex-Cape is to create an interface between two identified boundaries of the city which will function as an epoxy. A place where the two distinct areas encounter at mutual rituals, where the dialectic between continuity/discontinuity, erotism/proliferation, violation/taboo, divinity/mundanity, abundance/poverty, dogmatic/scientific, death/life, is dissolved into a ritualistic experience space. On the contrary to the nobility, solidity, inflexibility and the indifference of contemporary architecture, Ex-Cape proposes the juxtaposition of deconstructivist architectural structures and foresees a future where the material is used again an again for various forms and functions rather than a strict and certain transformation. The design strategy is constructed in a dualistic manner, in which the cemetery as an empirical and ritualistic space is encountered with additional programmatic spaces. The cemetery, in this case, works as vertical surfaces and directed into a dialog with the derelict typology of Tarlabasi with the technique of bricolage. Programmatic spaces are predicted to work as extensions in a structural grid, namely the plan. These spaces intertwine with the empirical spaces of vertical surfaces and function as their negatives eventually.
