City of Bologna is a medieval Italian city formed by intermediary spaces between the solids and voids, and this phenomena can be observed from urban scale to building scale. While streets, porticos and passages provide continuity of plazas and squares, urban solids, buildings, define these voids in a way that composed and enclosed spaces could be created. This spatial organization reminds Camillo Sitte’s emphasize on the importance of plazas and squares, composed and enclosed spaces that served as outdoor rooms in his study of medieval plazas. To Sitte, the plazas had to be enclosed and human scaled, and have the important monuments which were not free-standing, but emerged from the surrounding fabric. Therefore, the given site, which is in Filippo Re Campus, next to the only existing part of the third fortificatio wall of Bologna, the Circla, and Botanic Garden, was considered as a topography that can be shaped according to the surrounding fabric and create integrated spaces.

Change in Green Areas in Time Urban form of Ankara has been affected by environmental factors; topography, water resources and green areas. Removal of this water network which have influenced topography and configuration along the main axis of the city and building roads in place of this network have led to change in formal and ecological character of the city.

Escape from Multiverse is a project that provides experience spaces in multidimensional environment. It was developed within a story which has potential to create spaces having different qualities. The story is about escape of three character from their universe. Their universe is composed of mazes expanding to layers in several dimensions. These different layers are connected by the holes locating at some points in the mazes. The characters start to travel together, and they are directed by the surfaces of the mazes with physical changes in order to find their way to exit. Each of them can only react against sound, light or different textures; therefore, they have to be together to find their way. However, if they get close the holes, they are getting deformed and their connections decline, and the holes do not let them out. Due to gravity force of the holes, the characters are disconnected and have to stand alone in the hole. The holes are also connected to each other and end of the each hole is opened to another layer which means a new layout. Thus, the characters have to find each other firstly when they are swallowed up by the holes in order to complete the escape.

Science Center and Museum in ITU Maslak Campus, Istanbul, Turkey
Group work Design Together with BIM Competition Architectural Design | Elif Çaglayan, Kubilay Sahinler, Sabiha Irem Ardic Structural Design | Esat Çandır, Yasar Çepni Mechanical Design | Yasin Terzioglu
The competition was about designing a science center and museum for ITU Maslak Campus, in the context of building information modelling within an interdisiplinary team. The process was started with architectural design, and completed with structural and mechanical design. The site is located in ITU Maslak Campus, along the south axis of main entrance, behind the building of presidency and on ArÄą street, which might be considered as an important point for campus transportation. While presidency building is located on the north side of the site and a forest is located on the west side while the south and east sides of the site are next to the road. The old ceremony area, which is located on the east side, was considered as a area having a potential to create continuous open space. The open space left in between the masses was related with open amphi and scene of the auditorium in order to provide an area where social activities and events can take place. The bridges connecting the masses was also considered as definning elements for this open area.

By planting evergreen trees to west of the site in a order, natural shading in every season was tried to be achieved.
For heating and cooling, systems not consuming fossil fuel were preferred. The electricty need for the systems was considered to be produced by photovoltaic panels.
In order to reduce water consumption, it was decided that rain water collected from the roof should be recycled to use in watering the garden.
By the open space designed between the masses, green spaces and open amphi were integrated, and a socialization space for the users was introduced.
By placing bicyle parking at main entrances, users tried to encourage to use bicyle in order to provide economic and environmental sustainability.
Aegean Institute in Ayvalık, Balıkesir, Turkey

Ayvalık is a district in Balıkesir on the Aegean Sea coast. It is situated on a narrow coastal plan surrounded by low hills to the east which are covered with pine and olive trees. The main source of income in Ayvalık is based on an agricultural product, olive, and olive oil and soap are the basic products and also a significant part of the culture of the town. As a result, the olive oil factories, many of them are still existing, are very characteristic in the historic urban context of Ayvalık. The site in Ayvalık is also on the northern side of the historical waterfront where there are historical industrial facilities for olive and olive oil production, and these abandoned facilities were defined as museum of Aegean agri-culture and workshops for the Ayvalık populace. Beside the existing buildings, the Aegean Institute is constituted of three main parts: conference and exhibition; archive and library; a study and living quarter for visiting artists and scholars. As a design approach, streets coming to the site were extended to the sea and a new walkway connecting these streets on the sea was introduced. Also, by taking reference from Ayvalık’s figure-ground relationship, mass organization was designed so that courtyards can be formed between the masses. For the tectonical characteristics of the project, steel frame structure were designed in a way that walls and roofs can complete each other, and the slope and the height of the buildings were defined according to the existing buildings in the site.

Housing | Group work ARCH301 | Architectural Design Studio III Supervisors | Aydan Balamir, Kadri Atabas, Gülnur Güler Architectural Design | Elif Ceren Yılmaz, Mert Duru, Sabiha Irem Ardic
Dealing with Macunköy area was started with analyzing and indicating the lacks and needs of the area. As a result of these analyses, it can be seen that the site is open to development in the near future; however, it was not planned in urban scale. Therefore, starting point when designing the site was decided as preserving and emphasizing the existing axis that people are using as shortcut between the metro station and the way going to TOKİ buildings and the nearest commercial spaces to the area. Because the site is located between two neighboring sites which are going to be proposed as social housing as well, two secondary roads connecting Anadolu Boulevard and EGO sides were branched from the main axis. Blocks for this complex were placed around these axes by concerning different qualities of the facing facades. Thus, office blocks were located at the closest part to the square as a transition zone from public spaces to housing. Also, mixed use blocks around the main axis were placed as bordering line in a parallel way with commercial spaces in ground level to create a living street. In order to obtain pleasant atmosphere in a green area, housing blocks were designed as to create sunken courtyards which accompanies privacy at the same time. Sunken courtyards also provide garden floor for housing at the ground level and allow people to pass directly from underground car parking to the courtyards.

to increase surface area winery sleepwalker trekking The site given for housing design is located in EskiĹ&#x;ehir, and they all were attached single houses. The challenges for the project were the dimensions of solids that proposals had to be fixed, and given scenario for the users of the house. In this case, keywords for the scenario were winery, sleepwalker, and trekking. Thus, conceptual design of the house was tried to be shaped according to needs of these keywords. Another input was taking enough daylight into the spaces since the main function of the spaces was accomodation. However, as the overall mass was narrow and deep, and also between two solid wall, solutions to get daylight were required.

SCENARIO
In order to provide a spatial contribution to the massive pedestrian flow and due to the location of the ground, in the ground floor, structure was taken back, and semi-open public space was proposed. While the programmatic organization of the building was considering, the old and new texture of the land was compared, and workshops have been proposed to encourage people to produce in response to increasing trade areas. The location of the spaces was intended to be designed in different levels to establish a physical relation between them. In addition to the enclosed spaces, a semi-open garden related to the canal was created by considering the continental climate of Eskisehir.
