Chicago allows only one building per zoning lot. That’s why modules must be connected in some physical capacity—not unlike a row of townhomes.
Shared Boundries Stronger neighborly relations start here!
Dweller Interface: Too Close, Too Private!
THE PROPOSAL: Module Plans
There are some good news for young homeless people living in Chicago. Dear Young Adults, you do not need homeless shelters anymore. Come and see our new Tiny Home Community in Vernon. Those affordable, ecological, viable modules provide you privacy, independence and a qualified social life.

In this planned development, modules are combined to support privacy. The combination considers seperate entrances to give dwellers independence. Furthermore, each combination has shared boundries.This shared boundry provides a meeting point for dwellers at mezzanine floor while they are independent at ground floor. To prevent noise-induced problems, the walls have sound barriers. In the middle of the shared terrace, there is a perforated platform to collect rainwater at ground floor. To keep inside warm, we used natural cork as floor finishing material. Moreover, each module has solar panels on roof. Meanwhile, to built cost-effective modules we chose that 3 options and saved roughly $6346 per module: *We used humanure style compositing toilet instead of commercial compositing toilets and we saved up to $1900. *We used shelves instead of cabinets and saved $2000. *We chose electric appliances instead of propane and saved $2446.

This project is about a diploma project in Istanbul Technical University. The theme of the diploma project is “open city” in the Buffer Zone in Nicosia/Lefkoşa, Cyprus. The project aims to look for new ideas for a city, more democratic and participatory.

RISING PARK, 2013
Augmented Structures Acoustic Formations V1.1 In collaboration with Salon Architects, 2011 The first stage in the Augmented Structures project by Salon Architects is the Augmented Structures v1.1: Acoustic Formations / İstiklâl Caddesi installation which reanimates phenomena (architecture, sound and visual arts) that appear to be completed and concluded. The acoustic memory of İstiklâl Caddesi is first transformed into an architectural surface and then this solid form becomes a dynamic visual performance through a 400m2 installation on the facade of Yapı Kredi Bank Culture Building. The project brings together disparate disciplines like architecture, sound and the visual arts which influence one another to such a degree that it is impossible to separate them. While the project aims to interpret the world in visual and aesthetic terms, in its capacity as an “interdisciplinary transformation” project, it also questions the point where art and architecture stand today and the point they might reach in future. This is a project that forces each discipline to alter its own “material” state; transforming sound into mathematics, mathematics into architecture and architecture into a living canvas, while presenting the viewer with a new media experience that is multi-leveled, produces sound, moves and breathes. The performance takes place on the Galatasaray side of Yapı Kredi Cultural Centre, one of the urban landmarks on İstiklâl Caddesi, which numbers among Istanbul’s most lively and popular streets. Blending the city’s own levels with those of differing disciplines, the performance celebrates their transformation into a multi-level new media art work as an urban experience.

As a continuation of the outside project, those artworks shows the perception of the noise on facade in different days.
This 3d printed artwork is designed to understand how a sound molecule transforms into a data to form a facade.
“Breath” is an architectural audio visual performance in Bogazici University Albert Long Hall at May 18th 2012
The great premiere ... The first heartbeat ... and the bricks come alive, each with a story to tell us ... How it enhances itself, becomes an unmistakable member of the family with its unique character ? Does it also shares human emotions that lived inside its body ? Both phsically and emotionally, no doubt it is alive, staring at us dramatically with all the secrets and whispers to be explored... While blood pumps through veins, and each cell becomes a member of the whole organism, there are some unexplainable electrical charges born, crashing through nerves, attracting the core and confuses the regular cycle. Even if a chaos occurs inside, emotions could be somehow uneffected ... Architecture as a physical living creatu re with a secluded vivid spirit inside. Place, to be explored extraordinarily. Landscape as an unbounded canvas.

Spatium Aesthetics of failure. Disruption of dimension, magnitude and quantity in the timeless gap. Delicacy of destruction. In a void that serves a nonconventional level of perception. This is the Spatium as a detachment of an interval in a moment of glitch. Superposing architecture with a malfunctioning device to be surrounded with. Spatium defines the possibilities what these spaces can transform into for the audience that is given the opportunity to experience. Performed at Taşkışla Festival 17 in 13th May 2011. The work is a result of the one-week workshop ran by Refik Anadol with the students of the Architecture Faculty of Istanbul Technical University.
