Wikipedia underlines the historical importance of the city of Ankara as follows: “Ankara is one of the world’s oldest capital cities, having been a major urban center, though not a capital, for far longer than cities like London, Paris or Madrid; even Istanbul. When present Istanbul, then the Roman provincial town of Byzantium, was being groomed as a new capital for the Roman Empire in 324, Ankara was already an important administrative center from which most of the northern half of Turkey was run.”

As you all know the history of Ankara can be traced back to the Bronze Age Hatti civilization, then 2nd millennium BC by the Hittites, in the 10th century BC by the Phrygians, and later by the Lydians, Persians, Macedonians, Galatians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans. One of the significant periods of Ankara is the Roman era after it was conquered by Augustus in 25 BC. Now the capital city of the Roman province of Galatia, Ancyra continued to be a center of great commercial importance. Ankara is also famous for the Temple of Augustus and Rome) which contains the official record of the Acts of Augustus, inscribed in marble on its walls.

Today’s cityscape of Ankara offers glimpses of its long history starting from the classical times, through its Roman Baths, Augustus Temples, Roman Theatre and Julianus Column. Many excavations in the city unearth further traces of the Roman past. The plot next to the Anafartalar Shopping Mall is one of the sites, close to the main street of the roman Angora, where new findings are located after the demolishing of the building block. Therefore this area should be protected during the excavations as well as the display of the findings after. A shelter touching the ground minimally will help to protect the underground findings.

This place is also a social hub of the city, close to the grand food market and many more historical hans and modern marketplaces. Such a central location also suggests a shelter for the modern day citizens, to take a short rest protected from the rain and sun.

During the design process, Anafartalar Shopping Mall was prioritized as one of the crucial aspects of this design project.

ARCH302 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO IV SPRING 2019-2020 SHELTERING ANKARA’S ANCIENT PAST The first assignment of the Arch302 course focused on the long span structures covering large uninterrupted spaces. It particularly dwelled on the capacity of these structures in the archeological sites where the sheds over the fragile remains are required to leave minimum impact on the ground.

As an initial study, groups of 4-5 students are asked to analyze two examples of such structures. One example is selected from the archeological settings and the other group of buildings are examples of long-span structures with different functions.

The buildings were required to be analyzed in their structural and constructional properties.

The classifications given to the students below aimed to guide them. Therefore the students asked to study the Mitchell’s groupings in terms of form-based and material-based structures.

Students we expected to pay attention to the materials used and the dimensions of the spans and structural elements.
