As an architectural strategy before the new attachments are done all the parts of existing oil platform will be listed and the usable parts of the platform will be recycled for further usage. Because of the existing parts of the oil platforms are engineered for resisting the extreme weather conditions they are very suitable for the further usage at the structural parts of the living units. In order to maintain large amount of people in the island housing type will be unit based and highly modular. Each unit will provide shelter for 1-4 people. These units will be prefabricated on the land and transported to the island. Existing machinery parts will be repaired and rearranged for the needs of the community. Crane structures of the existing platform will be will provide the mobility for the units inside of the island. Units will be attached to the main cores. These cores are also will be prefabricated on land and will be contain all he circulation elements like stairs and elevators for the units. There will be no construction on the island and everything designed to be modular

Iron Islands is the graduation project of the ARCH 402 course. Challenge of the studio was to imagine an island and create a social and architectural topology of it by idealizing the architectural situation through a strategy of isolation. With this project I took the islandic topology idea and turned into the proposal of repurposing a completely man-made structure into a social housing island In near future many of the oil reserves on earth will be dried out and people will start looking for other eco-friendly methods for the increasing need of energy sources. Even though finding new ways to create energy is good for the environment what will happen to these off-shore mega structures which has the structures made of billions of dollars worth of materials that once used for the oil industry?

Millions of young people suffer from wars, natural disasters and unemployment crisis. They need a place to stay, work, live and save for their future

YAY!

World is fastly running out of fossil fuel and oil platforms are getting abandoned

According to the structural supporting system of the oilrig the foundations that are holding the platform are extended and the cores are created. These cores will be the extended foundations for the housing units, gardens, service and social spaces.

Old oil platforms can be recycled into small islands to provide extra housing and employment opportunities for people in need

Old platforms can be turn into self-sustaining islands which can provide its own energy, clean water and food

assembly dıagram lıft shafts Shafts are circled by spiral staircases linking the separate service floors and gardens. Constructed of precast reinforced concrete the stairs and the core can be extended for the future needs.

ON SITE ASSEMBLY All the parts of the oil platform is prefabricated on the land and assembled on the site. In order to achieve this flexibility all the parts are detachable and easy to assemble. All the graders, service and social spaces are attached to the cores.

Iron Islands can be the future of micro nations

machınerıes Each service unit comes with its own machinery system underneath. This provides completely separated system on each level. They only need to plugin into the main drainage, pumping and electrical transformer systems of the platform by arranged connection points.

gardens These garden platforms will be filling the spaces between each service levels. They will be used as green houses and gardens to provide food and other needs. Their own watering system will be embedded inside and connected to the main plumbing unit.

maın core This core will be selected according to the direction that gets the heaviest wind loads. Main core is more thicker and holds bigger amount of both vertical and horizontal loads. It contains 2 industrial size elevators, machinery room and main staircase.

exıstıng platform After recycling the existing unused oil extraction elements, inside of the platform will be turned into Agora like public gathering place. Top of the platform will be used for the machinery that required for energy, water desalination plants and other types of necessary units.

lıvıng unıts Living units has a segmented design which allows upgradeability for the future modifications and needs. Newcomers will be provided with one segmented living unit which they can upgrade up to 3 segments. With these segments they will own private shower, toilet, kitchen, balcony and extra bedroom. 3 segmented unit has enough space for 3 people family.

ıron fleet Container ships will be transporting capsules form the assembly plant which located at the shore of Bergen, Norway. Units will be directly loaded on the ships and unloaded by the crane system of the island. There will also be daily transportation to the land for the citizens.

structure Living units will be prefabricated in a shipping container factory. They are welded lightweight steel-truss boxes. Clad with galvanizes ribbed steel panels, a coat of rust preventing humid protected waterproof paint in order to survive at the ocean conditions. All the Structural elements will be provided from recycled oil rig parts. Each unit will have the lifespan of 5-8 years without maintenance.

crane system Each core will have a crane In order to load and unload living units, Wastes and basically all the transportation in and outside the island. Living units will be unloaded from the Iron Islands ships and lifted to its place. The connection process will take very low amount of man power and working hours.

connectıons Living units will be bolted with 4 high-tension bolts to the service units. Higher segmented units will have extra fixing for the plumping and power systems. The connection process will only take couple of hours.

deTAIL SCALE : 1/100 0

MASTER PLATFORM SECTION A-A’ SCALE 1:200

All units are designed to work with a plug-in system when they connected to the core they will have electricity, water and waste drainage. This assembly process will be provided by the crane systems which are placed on top of the cores. They will also serve for all the transportation needed for the arrangements on the island like loading and unloading wastes for transporting them to the recycling facilities. In order to create more social interaction with the island community existing platform will be working as an agora on the where people can come together shop and socialize

aerodynamic form In order to maintain structural stability and social comfort on the platform most important element of the environment is the wind. North Sea has a very strong wind coming from the South to North. Existing platforms are shaped accordingly to this strong winds but because they are not constructed very high level the housing area designed as suitable as possible for the windloads. After the analysis form of the building shaped as an airplane cutting the wind. All the social spaces are located behind the building in order to protect them in Daily basis. Also the units are located as they get the best possible sun light during the day. Because of the form the wind tunnels behind the platform get very strong but this turned into an advantage by placing the wind mills to the most windy locations which can easily provide all the electricity needed fort he platform

Future scenarios will be aimed to construct the foundations of independently functioning small islandic communities. Even though smaller scaled oil platforms and other small offshore structures are not suitable for comfortable dwellings they will be repurposed efficiently by assigning each one with different types of necessary functions. These smaller offshore structures will be connected to the main platform with bridges and suitable bridges will also be used for the solar panels and wind mills. By doing that the strong wind tunnels will also be turned into advantage as highly efficient renewable energy sources

#UNFOLD

#UNFOLD displays a data cloud which is a graphical visualization of the tweets at a certain moment coming from the selected area including Thames River. By using Grasshopper map was divided with a grid and #London Tweet data was searched in relation with specific diameters on each node of the grid. Then the structure was manipulated by lifting and lowering the surface from the nodes on the grid. The low-density of the tweets on the area defined as hollow spaces of the pavilion and encourages people to walk through by creating a path. High-density of the tweets demonstrated by the parts that touch to ground in order to create shelter type of form. The participants are also encouraged to bend, crawl, and stand inside the pavilion to experience the spatial quality of visualized twitter data. #UNFOLD is one frozen moment ofthe endless data flow from twitter which creates unique and endless sequence of forms

One of the challenges of the competition was constructing the pavilion only using cardboard material. There was a limited budget for cardboard sheets that we can use and limited CNC cutting time. Participants had to calculate these details and come up with a clever joint detail solutions. Cardboards can be only connect each other with cable tie and tape. Our Pavilion has 300 surfaces and each surface has different connection angle. For fixing every angle correctly and to be able to make the pavilion more rigid we created completely new joint technique. We offsetted all the edges of all the surfaces by calculating the angles with Grasshopper and created 2 small triangles at every corner to hold the surfaces. With this technique we achieved best structural quality and we were able to construct a pavilion with 300x250cm footprint and 280cm height by using only 3,80mm cardboard DAY 3

desıgn ıdea The cities today grow day by day bringing along several problems. In this period of growth, every single structure we build causes different urban and environmental problems and negative effects on people. Those problems occur out of the uncontrolled growth of the cities, the life cycle of restained material that shortens buildings life and wasting the qualities of places. Under the definition of digital cities, our approach will solve all of those problems and will bring so many possibilities with the help of swarm intelligence. It will operate cities’ dynamism and adaptivity. Rather than designing an urban plan, with the parameters and urban life’s needs, it’s going to organize itself in the most efficient way. Swarm intelligence system allows the urban environment to be responsive to its habitat and urban life. The intelligence of units creates structures with the self-awareness that knows how to assemble themselves by working like the connected group, build themselves according to the cities needs. Our lives are increasingly mediated by digital technologies, and as architects , we have unprecedented opportunities to innovate including computational design, robotic fabrication, and the internet of things.

MONAD Pavilion designed for the “Fabfest’18 Digital City”. Our Team MONAD won Architecture Prize #3 and QHT Detail Prize #3. Monadology, as defined by the German philosopher Leibniz, is the theory of being everything. Monads have no entry or exit; they are spiritual units without extension. The Digital city consists of a swarmlike intelligence system whose units, like monads, are smart homes. This project allows swarm behavior of these units to operate the cities’ dynamism and adaptivity. Based on the parameters and needs of urban life, the city will organize itself in the most efficient way. Swarm intelligence systems allow the urban environment to be responsive to habitat and everyday life, with self-aware intelligent units assembling themselves by operating as connected groups. Cities evolve through interactions between environment and occupants by self-organizing according to these parameters. TEAM MONAD

[Internship Project at FABRICations]

green tower

The design of the new Green Tower builds upon the original organizational principle of the existing tower: three blocks separated by two supporting levels. Each block has its own set of architectural interventions. The architectural interventions mostly consider the implementation of natural green (gardens, green facades) and technical green (sustainability oriented technology). As a result of the organizational principle, each block has its own climate, biotope and technical function. A striking yellow staircase connects the blocks and acts as a continuous spatial sequence to guide visitors through the building. The yellow stairs start with a ramp which brings the visitors from the public square to the entrance level of the Green Tower, and leads them up to the panoramic cafe on the top floor, where food produced in the Green Tower can be consumed. Along the yellow path, visitors can experience public program and resting areas, in direct visual relation with the technical equipment that supports the sustainability processes of the building.

The Green Tower is the iconic centerpiece and functional center of Bajes Kwartier. In collaboration with OMA and Lola Landscape Architects, FABRICations developed the transformation masterplan for the Bijlmerbajes, a prison complex to be transformed in the neighborhood of the future: the Bajes Kwartier. The transformation incorporates a circular approach, by reusing elements and preserving cultural heritage. The new plan is on the forefront of sustainable innovations regarding energy production, waste processing and healthy living principles. All these systems come together in the Green Tower. Green Tower project is still continuing and I have been working for the project with FABRICations since August 2018 as an architecture trainee. My main tasks are design, modelling, animations and visualizations

The studio project has a dystopic topic. Where there has been an explosion and all many years passed and humans evolved in a new way. In my scenario humans are now very capable of using biology on everything and creating new creatures for their day to day professions like architecture. They don’t rebuild the ruins of yesterday but they developed an organism that holds on to these ruins and grows on them. This Symbiot-X organism provides both structural stability and spatial quality for the ruins in a most natural way. This project is a research on Strangler fig (parasite) plant and tries to adapt the biomimetic behavioral structural system.

The studio will first investigated the experience of a subject and its relation to the place (object) through concentration on void the space between and with consideration for a phenomenological approach. Space is molded by emotions (we feel), sounds (we hear), stories (we listen), images (we see), memories (we remember) as well as the surroundings. These experiences are constructed at both conscious and unconscious levels and students are expected to narrate their explorations in formal and spatial composition. The investigation will continue with formal experiments and the project process is concerned with the exterior of the inside as well as the interior of the outside. Architectural notions such as scale, proportion, spatial and formal quality will be methodologically questioned through the understanding of urban terminology.

Izmir Public Library is the studio project of ARCH 401 Course. Challenge is to redefine and redesign a public library to make it an attractive public space again. We focused on technological potentials in architectural design integrating technological and digital approaches to the design process. We are experimenting on form finding strategies and analyze the relationship between the defined strategy and creation of complex architectural space. The systematic development of complex spatial models as part of the design process. We are asked to develop an architectural program under the theme ‘Learning Centre & Library in Digital Era’. It is part of a design task to provide new solutions for slowly disappearing public libraries as learning environments of cities.

DESIGN IDEA On my project I have focused on creating a both dynamic and aesthetic design for the library in order to create an attraction point for the people. By using both tectonic and strategical design approach building will be providing great amount of public areas and change the general perception about libraries. I am also experimenting on the limits of the constructional elements by creating very large spans and organic morphology for the interior. I use advance modelling and analyzing software’s to reach optimum spatial quality for the users. Buildings form shaped according to provide best open and semi-open spatial quality.The idea is to challenge the current system for collection and sharing of sources of information through redesigning their spatial conditions

form & spaces Formal inspiration of the building came from the flexibility of the paper which has both linear and organic formal qualities. With the division of the form there are multiple entrances provided to make the building invite people in from different angles. Also, these linear elements turns into bookshelf’s and a circulation corridor inside of the building for more tectonic design aspect. Izmir Library also designed to serve visitors with a very clear route which people can easily navigate themselves without any guidance
