around the central theme of the typology to complement the context and fulfill its purpose.

CREATE

MERGE S

The morphological relation of a building could be fit on a range with the maximums as the merging into the landscape and creating the new topography with the building. The projects response to the environment is shaped based on that. The distinct types of topology are establishing these circumstances. The projects are fit on the scale.

L E V E L S RESIDENCE Studio Project, 2nd Year - 3rd Quartile In the Levels Building, the composition of the semi-public and public places is enhanced by different levels for the transition to a new typology, terraces, galleries and setbacks. The passage underneath the building is a link between the serenity of the courtyard and the turmoil of the city. The form is shaped by the terrace houses, the setbacked ground floor, and the elevation differences. The outer faรงade reflects the massiveness of the building using contours and rhythmic concrete elements. The balconies are creating an expressionist dynamism via breaking the symmetry. The houses located in between the terraces and gallery are creating an inner faรงade. The differences between the levels of the corridors and houses distinguish the private and public areas.

Level contains the shifted floor levels to create the privacy of the residential area with the views to the inside. However, the shifted layers give the opportunity to recieve daylight from different layers of the building. The detail of the high window is integrated with the bench that is claimed for the residents usage.

D E S I G N LIBRARY Studio Project, 1nd Year - 4rd Quartile The location of the plot in between Dommel River and Eindhoven city center inspired the concept of nature vs. city dichotomy in the Design Library. The building embraces the landscape with the shifted floors and defines a new space for the city side. The building program reflects the dichotomies in function and form which are harmonized with the intersecting and continuous spaces. The geometric rational form uses the volumes that intersect with each other to create new spaces. The main theme of these two different spaces is reflected in many elements of the building including the material choice, extraverted-introverted windows, distribution of the program, and level relations.

THE MEIOSÄ°S TEA-HOUSE Studio Project, 2nd Year - 1rd Quartile The Meiosis is a tea house project with a small scale programme for an urban development. The main concept is blending into the nature for a sensational tea experience. The form is based on a rational shape being manipulated in accordance with the surrounding dynamic elements like the routing and the river. The morphology and the detailing brings the natural qualities like the river, views, and utside inside relation together. The blending is created with the help of material and colour choices, and the usage of semi-enclosed spaces. The interconnectivity between the enclosed and semi-enclosed units is established by the roof structure.

The Meiosis is based on a singular unit divided into four sub cells. The characteristics of cells are based inside and outside relation under one roof structure. The diagonal spaces have similarities that resembles the main idea like the tree in the center of outside and the central column for the interior cafĂŠ. These similarities shape the units.

A X E S M U E S U M Studio Project, 2nd Year - 2rd Quartile Axes Museum is an extension to the existing main and annex buildings of KrĂśller MĂźller Museum. The essential concept is creating the missing links between the existing axes and merging the building into its surrounding with the shaped typology. Unconnected links in x-y axes shaped the morphology of the building. In order to create an uninterrupted circulation, all axes are tied together. For the sake of consistency, the materials and colors are chosen coherent to the existing structures. The overall connections construct a journey for the visitors consisting stages with various light and space experiences based on the integration to the landscape and the building. The stairs are used as the main elements to divide these stages.

The exhibition is based on various sizes and characteristics for each exhibition room. The complete journey is based on finilazing the continues museum experience and then the visitors enjoy the nature around with a cup of coffee. The transition between the museum loop and the public wing is established by the entrance area.

CONNECTION H A L L Competition, 1nd Year - 3rd Quartile Conference Hall project is prepared for a competition. The plot is on the path between Christiansborg Slot and Glyptoteket within city center of Copenhagen. The program contains hall, exhibition area, foyer, and cafe with some office space. The courtyard is designed as a contemporary interpretation of the conventional Danish building blocks in an inverted manner. The green roof integrates the existing path to the building and creates a vista point for viewing the Christiansborg Slot and Glyptoteket. These two elements are bringing new qualities to space with a respect. The space is delineated by several space defining elements including the ornamental staircase, the varying ceiling heights, service corridors, as well as by material usage.

Copenhagen Conference Hall is prepared as a journey that connets two landmarks in the city. The visit to the building is represented with the visualizations. The corresponding characteristics of each space is designed to reflect its functions with the concept of Raumplan. The building is centered around several elements like the stairs.

COMMONS MASTER PLAN Studio Project, 2nd Year - 4th Quartile Commons is a master project located in a countryside town of the Netherlands called Griendtsveen. The concept of life in the landscape is enhanced via the properties of each topology in the area and connecting those to each other. Three types as the ribbon, scattered, and townscape typologies and the historic topology of the landscape are taken as the reference to develop. For presenting a community, the common spaces with the three landscape qualities are introduced. The integration and enhancing of nature brought the design, interaction between the neighbors, and landscape together. The result is the authentic intertwined landscapes.

The characteristic of Griendtsveen is the different landscapes due to the ribbon structure of Limburg and the scattered live-stock farms of North Barant. The center is town-scape. To enhance these properties, the various common areas with the greenery are designed. Living in the landscape is the major theme since it is a specific rural area.

Temporos p a t i a l Studio Project, 2nd Year - 4th Quartile Temporo-spatial is a project based on the preparation of three artifacts with the concrete and copper wires. The artifacts are prepared to give the concept of interior and exterior in architecture. The main aim is to prepare the posters that the objects are placed in an environment. Three posters are designed based on the materiality choices to be matched with the topology of the surrounding. The artifacts are crafted based on the basic architectonic elements like a hut, dome, and interior window. The contradiction between the space and the context leads the viewers to question the aspects of architecture that has evolved in centuries. The resulting visuals are mixing time and space, at the same time blending into the perceived space.
