DYNAMIC CITY
Basic Design Project I & II
KEY INFO
Type : Student Project / Individual
Date : October 2018 - June 2019
Location : Meydan, Kayseri & Mustafapaşa, Nevşehir, Türkiye
Supervisor : Umut Doğan
The first out study area location on Basic Design Project I class was in Meydan, Kayseri City. Meydan is located in the busiest place of Melikgazi district, which is described as the center of Kayseri. Since the square is located in the center of the city, transportation is very easy. It is possible to reach the square by Kayseri tram and public buses.
And on Basic Design Project II class, our location study area was a Mustafapaşa. Mustafapaşa is an old Greek village called Sinasos in ancient times. Mustafapaşa, one of the most natural places of Cappadocia, is 6 km from Ürgüp and 25 km from Nevşehir. Mustafapaşa is so rich in terms of places to visit that when we come to Ürgüp fot technical trip, we have to spare at least as much time for this charming town that smells of history.
The aim of this project (Basic Design Project I) is to to prepare the substrata of design activities and give the theorical informations about basic ways of thinking design and narrative techniques, to the students in order to be create design concepts in a free and creative way.
In this context, the objectives of the course are to organize the movements of thinking, to reveal the creative forces of designers, and to gain the ability of expressing the observed and imagined objects in the forms of two or three-dimensional drawings with the help of basic design elements and principles, aesthetic values, and visual perception laws by the intention of building artists (designers) identity , and the skill of using the design language.
The design of the project consists of triangles as a unit. A project design that starts from one point and connects all other triangles and spreads in a wavy way is revealed. the aim of this project is to enable us to see or monitor the functions in this area using a good voluminous design.
The objective of the project is to direct abstract thinking and format ideas within scientific principles, and also transform them to design in the axis of the form, structure and space. It is aimed to develop a design fiction, analyzing the existing structures, identifying the problems and creating the solutions, in order to express the abstract and concrete thinking relations.
It involves the preparation of the analytical studies of project depending on the scenario, in a way that is coordinated with the basic design project and technical drawing issues, and the projection and expression of the details of design proposals in a three-dimensional scale. It is expected to be tried abstract thinking skills on a real space.
As in the theme of this class II basic design project, Mustafapaşa became an otopian city in the next 100 years. After 100 years in the city, the city district will be organized in an orderly manner and several areas will be developed. These are recreational area, education, green space, health, trade, agriculture, energy facilities, and industrial area. Since everything in order, the peoples are provided with possible and modern services. That’s why this city is called dynamic city. In the city, transportation is becoming a very important facility. One of the means of transportation used in this utopia city is air transportation. In the perspective of the map, the airway can connect the 2 hills, so that the journey time is not take a lot of time.

Urbanism Project III
KEY INFO
Type : Student Project / Individual
Date : October 2019 - June 2020
Location : Alaçam, Samsun, Türkiye
Supervisor : Seda Çalısır Hovardaoğlu
In this studio is informing the students about master plan, urban development plan and urban design, explanations of relations between plan hierarchies, and informing the students about the presentation and professional techniques about master plan, development plans and urban design projects.
Alaçam District, Samsun, Türkiye was chosen for project site. This time, there are 3 types of plans, namely 1:5000 Master Plan, 1:1000 Implementary Development Plan, 1:1000 Urban Design, and 1:500 Urban Design. The proposed theme is Slowcity Alam. This theme was chosen because Alaçam has the credibility to be used as a slowcity and other potentials. Such as the number of residents who are not too many, the number of handicraftsmen, and the culture that is still maintained.
Main problems of this area that less development and lack of public facilities for the community such as social infrastructure, parking lots, and so on. Therefore for the first time in plan 1: 5000 this was made with the aim/goal is a livable slowcity where natural, historical and cultural values are preserved and kept alive in the 2019-2040 planning period.
Some of the efforts made are increasing the social infrastructure area, cultural facility area, bicycle and pedestrian path, main road widening, trade/commercial areas, open green and park, as well as restoration of other areas / facilities.
The main goal in 1:1000 Urban Design is that the planner describes the overall planning decisions in more detail. Such as making plans for parks, parking lots, housing, roads and so on. Of course, all the pictures are drawn according to the calculation on the 1:1000 Implementary Development Plan.

SYSTEM
In the 1: 500 Urban Design plan, there are 3 main study areas, namely housing, trade areas and housing+commercial(business) areas. In each of these areas there are adequate parking lots, bicycle station and green systems. The housing texture scheme is formed from square units to form a house typology. While the final view of the east and south can be seen as shown below.

Urbanism Project V
KEY INFO
Type : Student Project / Individual
Date : February 2021 - June 2021
Location : Talas, Kayseri, Türkiye
Supervisor : Ceyhan Yücel
The aim of the project is to determine settlement and development strategies according to natural, cultural, sectoral and spatial priorities in the urban area within the metropolitan area impact area and to make planning decisions in the hierarchy that descends from the upper scale to the urban space scale in line with these strategies.
Scope for the purpose stated above; It is aimed to determine the future-oriented urban policies and strategies of Talas settlement, which is located within the close sphere of the rapidly growing Kayseri metropole, and to make planning and regulation decisions at every scale starting from the metropolitan area scale accordingly.
Kayseri is a large industrialised city in Central Anatolia, Turkey. It is the seat of Kayseri Province. The city of Kayseri, as defined by the boundaries of Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality, is structurally composed of three metropolitan districts, They are Kocasinan, Melikgazi, and Talas.
The main problem of Kayseri City is irregular population growth so that the main objective of this plan is to make the Talas district as the largest sub center, most active, and liveable district. This can be seen in the great potential of Talas, such as tourism, business and residential areas that are suitable for habitation and other potentials.

Supervisor : Fulya Sınacı Özfındık
The Covid-19 pandemic has made it clear that global epidemics are also disasters and emergencies. The dominant economy and accumulation structures have established an unhealthy relationship with the global ecosystem. City and regional planning is at a point that is mostly directly and indirectly related to this pandemic process.
The aim of the project is to focus on all the urban and regional vulnerabilities that this pandemic has revealed, made visible and clarified, and within the framework of the “culture of living together” and “accessibility” themes. And to develop urban development strategies especially for Melikgazi, Kocasinan, Talas, Hacılar, and Tomarza district in Kayseri. The specific theme that I propose is “The transformation of Tomarza district in Kayseri into a green, smart, compact and sustainable city in 2040 with the principles of culture of living together and accessibility.
In accordance with the general principles, goals and decisions of the Environmental Plan, the general use of land plots, the main types of regions, the future population densities of the regions, the development direction and size and principles of various urban and rural settlements, urban, social and technical infrastructure areas, transportation systems.
THAT BECOME CORRIDORS
Tomarza and Kocasinan districts were chosen as the agricultural focus because they are at the intersection of defined agricultural corridors and are close to the Kayseri district center. Thus, two districts took their places as cooperating agro-industrial centers in the north and south of Kayseri city center.
Erciyes University, technopark and R&D will be the innovation corridors developing in Kayseri and these innovations will have a positive impact on other fields.
The tourism corridor determined by the potential of Kocasinan, Melikgazi and Hacılar districts continues until the district of Tomarza, which will also have tourism potential. These tours are like natural tourism, winter tourism, air tourism and cultural tourism.
Melikgazi district is located in an industrial and transportation links corridor close to Kayseri city center and KOSB’s logistics center. Therefore, this study has determined Melikgazi as the focal point of the sector.

In this Graduation Project II, the 1:5,000 Master Development Plan, 1:1,000 Implementation Zoning Plan, and 1:1,000 & 1:500 Urban Design will be the main focus. The location chosen was the Tomarza district. This location was chosen because of the absence of significant urban development in terms of economic factors, infrastructure, transportation, social facilities, the reduction in the number of young people, as well as the reduction in the large number of population every year.
1:5.000 which will be the basis for demonstration and preparation for the implementation of the zoning plan. While the scale of 1:1,000 is the Implementation Zoning Plan, which shows decisions regarding construction and implementation such as field size, frontage and depth of field, including construction and arrangement of open areas, building transport links, buildings, roads, textures, open and green areas.
As a result of the development of cities, the generations remaining in the city have turned into multifunctional urban green areas. When determining intergenerational intervention strategies, different strategies should be defined for parts of different nature. The basic functions of green belts today are;
1. Creating an area for sports and outdoor activities near the city,
2. Protection of natural areas in the city,
3. Facilitating the urban population’s access to green areas,
4. It helps urban transformation by bringing the abandoned and degraded urban areas into use.
1:5.000 scale Master Development Plan, which will be the basis for the demonstration and preparation of the implementation zoning plans; Building blocks related to construction in accordance with the principles and principles of the Master Zoning Plan, their uses, building order, building height, floor area coefficient, floor area number of floors or precedent, building approach distance, island separation line, transportation relations, urban, social and technical infrastructure areas.
