01 The Grain Palace a Monument to Food Spring 2018 Studio Middle East Technical University Instructors: Zeynep Mennan, Egemen Kizilcan Location: Kiev, Ukraine
Throughout its history; Ukraine has always been regarded as an onthologically dependant country on others. In contrast to the global prejudices, today, the context is no longer a borderland but an independant, civic oriented state with an extreme potential on the sector of agriculture as indicated at the 2016 II World Grain Forum. This socio-cultural positioning cultivates a cultural memory void with a specific tendency on the erasure of Soviet remembrance which can also be observed widely on the built environment of Kiev. In consideration of these inferences, the design proposal is acknowledged to develop into an “AutoMonument” with its given architectural programme; that contains A Grain Research Institute, a Seed Gene Bank and a Grain Museum; potentially to symbolise the past and the future of food in terms of local progression and global attention. The site is aimed to be benefited with an allocation as the continuation and termination of existing gridal stsyem that surrounding urban space has. A perpeduation of the main pedestrian axis on the context with a path leading to the “tower” containing the seed bank aimed at being a landmark for the area grounds the scheme.

Future Projection & Possible Urban Placements in the context of Kiev, Ukraine who has a significant history of abundant grain production, a supply that historically exceeded the demand of its own population. The decrease in Mesopotamian production, once known as the ‘golden crescent’, turns attention back to the rising importance and significance of the Black Sea Basin and Ukraine in particular for global food security, as acknowledged at the 2016 II World Grain Forum. The proposal will develop the theme of a sustainable food secure future through the design of a ‘Grain Palace’, consisting of a tripartite architectural program: A Grain Research Institute addressing factors influencing food insecurity through the study and research of science-based technological innovations; a Seed Gene Bank that ensures the preservation of crop diversity, protection from climate change, natural disasters and crop diseases that may lead to the extinction of some species, and providing as well for seed material for research; and a Grain Museum, with permanent and temporary exhibits.

01. The Grain Palace a Monument to Food
Future Projection & Possible Urban Placements The architectural program of the term is one that highly overlapping with the specific conditions of the milieu on a selected site that can be regarded as a remittent representation of the city’s relationship with grain production. The area procures a genius loci responding to the content of possible architectural frontiers. Aim of the proposal is to form an exemplary answer in the domain of architecture and take an inclusionary role in the search of limits of global challenges while being a representation of the contextual impressions on agricultural production. Architecture is desired to form an exemplary typology with its program and proposed to act as an answer to future world scenarios. An opportunity for programmatic invention and flexibility is one of the main achievements besides investigation of contemporary needs with a high regard to forthcoming changing life styles of users and space interaction with a consideration on knowledge exchange.

Ludicity an Experiment in Cosmopolitan Urban Space Fall 2017 Studio Middle East Technical University Instructors: Zeynep Mennan, Duygu Tuntas, Egemen Kizilcan Location: Hatay, Turkey
Today, urban contexts are facing two critical questions. It is that how they are going to treat “guests” and how they are going to adapt themselves within the quickly changing and demanding global environment considering their cultural heritage. These two questions are becoming even more meaningful in the chosen location; Antioch, Hatay, Turkey. Indicated location is selected as a project base due to its diverse social structure, and its huge architectural heritage. Throughout the history, the city had seen many civilizations and different ethnic groups inhabited in it. Nowadays, this mosaic of differences is continuing in Antakya, but limits of it are in question. Another key problem that the city is confronted with is the quick and unplanned development causing an urban sprawl and the loss of contained urban values which is unfortunately very widespread for Turkey. A supposedly simple but very complex basic instinct of human beings is proposed as a solution generator for mentioned issues. By its essence, the notion “PLAY” creates a common ground for people from disparate cultural groups.

While conceiving encounter between people, ludic behaviour also leads them to explore and experience the urban context. These people who are establishing stronger bounds with their city, will act accordingly for the future of their cities. As the word brings a misunderstanding by its simplistic everyday usage, the name “ludicity” is given to the proposal with regard to the combination of the word “ludic” (showing spontaneous and undirected playfulness.) and “city”. As the design of what is going to be so called ludic should be formed in a bottom-up relationship, it is aimed to generate a participatory system for the people who will be thought as citizen players within their urban environment. So, an interchangeable system is created to be shaped by players. A table for programming of the space is established for the future and present spatial conception on different sites. In addition to this, some exemplary play seeds are formed for the specific programs which are selected to be present at the estimable location. The play seeds are regarded to be play catalyzers which will lead people to action and they are open to future additions of citizens. Genesis of time and place bounding events and their memory will create a society who would preserve their city while answering questions of forthcoming together and accordingly.

L.I.N.K. Linear Interaction Knot for Bogazici University Campuses Spring 2017 Studio Middle East Technical University Instructors: Haluk Zelef, Hasan Okan Cetin, Ensar Temizel Location: Istanbul, Turkey
The project site lies along the South side of Nispetiye Street at a very critical point through its relations with existing campuses of Bogazici University, its practically new metro station and its interelations with the urban context of Istanbul. The given program of the studio contains a research center and accomodation facilities for the members of the university (academicians, researchers & students), along with social and commercial spaces open to all. This diverse program is intended to be formed in series of integrated spaces along the determinant levels of the proposal, furthering the interaction between different user groups. By all of the mentioned occasions, the design targets to refer and benefit from the existing conditions and fit to them rather than infest to recess for itself.

Site Condition Additionly, the site is consisted of various different levels of a genuine topography and an unique lienar form. Inspiring from this state, the proposal aims to link the three separate campuses of the university with three different public levels and compound them in itself. The levels are determined with regard to distinct site forces, are interwoven in the project site in order to reflect the complexity of both the content and the architectural program.

Consarcio Rethinking Göbektaşı Generative Design Studio 2017 Middle East Technical University Instructor: Ipek Gursel Dino Location: Ankara, Turkey Team: Kursat Dinc, A.Ilker Yurtcan
The project site which is located inside the Architecture Faculty of Middle East Technical University, can be considered as one of the most vivid and entrancing location of the building. The location is named as “göbektaşı” after the existing sculpture that characterize the specific part. It is surrounded with studios, classrooms, teachers’ offices and service cores. Indicated section of the building is in fact a representation of the whole with its variety of programmatic functions and user profile. In response to these features of the area, the proposal is aimed to mimic, solidify and stimulate the existing movement patterns. By doing so, its essence is intended to become blended with the context, while highlighting current spatial qualities. Another factor that implied in the geometric formation is the actual territory and its expansions to its primary environment. In order to benefit from the day-lighting quality and not to become outdistance on the area, a lightness is formed by linear system evolution. Additionally, a non-physical ambition of the proposal is becoming a social condenser on the site by provoking encounter between different user groups such as; students, technical and academic staff.

Design Process Reference Curves While investigating the end product; placement of reference lines is made on concerned parts of the given space. Lines from different heights and orientations are formed. Then, differentiating points on spesific locations are evaluated. After dividing curves into segments of transformable lenghts, singular nurbs that fallowing the foregoing information are created. Degree of the nurbs are also interchangable.
