“Alley” as the Spine of the METU Campus: conserving and Managing Modern Campus Heritage [individual project]

Timeline of the Campus

“The defining layout of the campus is formed along the pedestrian axis which is the spine of the campus, named as “Alley” by the users. The Alley extends along the ridge from north to south in accordance with the soft terrain topography. Throughout the Alley, academic units are located on the west side and generate education area, while President’s Office, The Main Library and Cafeteria take part other side (on the east) and form center. The focus of the intense social activity occurs here and this cultural and the intellectual interaction place, the spine, can be named as “Forum” or the main major class of the university in where people are gathering and interacting continuously.”

I analysis

The Alley becomes a guideline for the construction of the campus, expanding in width and length modularly. It is the main tool which

regulates the spatial relations and staging the construction phases since construction of the first building. As mentioned by architects, Alley is considered as the major class of the university and the ability between open areas, semi-open areas, and buildings.

“Alley” as a Socializing Place

I analysis These gathering areas and socializing places embrace all the inhabitants of the campus such as people, birds, dogs, cats and etc. The social environment of the METU bases upon togetherness of all the

living being in tolerance,

harmony and reciprocity .

The alley generates cultural and social diversity of the METU society, and METU society produces its own places vice versa. Sustainability of this cycle is crucial for the integrity of social and physical environment of the METU Campus, and this reciprocity creates the

METU spirit that ascribed as invaluable by inhabitants of the campus.

“Alley” Appealing to Five Senses

I analysis “Places are not just a set of objects positioned on a site in order to make up a part of a city or of a territory. They assume a specific meaning in the moment in which we infuse them with a value.” Marichela Sepe,2013

The Alley appeals to five senses and it is very important memory space for so many people. It represents a visual feast for each season with its special views and landmarks; despite of losing its visibility partially. Although, the special sound of the water is not heard anymore, there are still water elements refreshing the atmosphere of the campus and us. The fragrance of the elaeagnus and the fresh air remembers us where we are. The fruit trees on the alley such as mulberry and apple feed us and leave a memorable taste of the Alley in our minds.

The Character Of The Alley

I evaluation

the heart of the social life of the campus, its articulation and flexibility make this functional diversity possible for social activities. The alley is the spine of the campus and regulates organization of the spaces and flow of the motion. It is composed of pedestrian network, lawns, softcape and alley elements integrated with academic, administrative and social-cultural buildings via interfaces, those are entrances and facades. The alley is the major classroom of the university representing so many socializing areas which is strongly enhanced by physical and functional character of the Alley. The abundance of the gathering areas and socializing places provides a common ground for different cultures and ideas on the Alley. The Alley is

LOCATION OF THE STUDY AREA: Sefa Oteli is located on Hisarbaşı Hill where the historical center of the town is placed around. The building is one of the members of monumental buildings of Ottoman period and it is surrounded by some other buildings dated to similar periods. This site is also commercial and administrative center of Milas. Arasta district is located on west and south side of the building spreading on a wide area. There is Çöllüoğlu Square on southwest part and Municipality Building on east side. Besides, there are also two khans building in near environment, Çöllüoğlu Khan and Çaputçu Khan. BEFORE SITE SURVEY: Before going to the site, literature research was conducted under seven titles: History of Milas / Geography and Climate Conditions of Milas / Historical Development of Planning in Milas and Sociocultural Status / Monumental Buildings in Milas / Arasta and Khans of Milas

South Facade-Sketch drawn and measured on the site

EE Section-Sketch drawn and measured on the site

ON SITE SURVEY: During site survey, graphic, photographic and written documentation were done. For graphic documentation, proportional sketches of the building in 1/50 scale were prepared 8 sections and elevations were drawn. Details of architectural elements in 1/20, 1/10, 1/5 and 1/1 scale were done. For photographic documentation; first of all, all surfaces w systematically clockwise beginning from the entrance of the space. Besides, details, elevations, courtyard, and near environment were photographed. Written documentati apart from that, all the information given by the users of the building or people living in the neighboring buildings were noted down. Besides, similar buildings in near environmen for comparative analysis. For measurements of the building, both traditional and contemporary methods were used. After completing proportional sketching, some measurem niques were used for most of them. First of all, the zero level was determined by a water hose both inside and outside of the building to create a virtual plane. This line was the measurements taken inside of the building were taken by traditional methods, diagonal and running measurements were taken for plan, vertical measurements were taken for s elevations and site plan. Some polygon points were determined and they were connected to each other via total station. Target points were also marked to be used later for

AFTER SITE SURVEY All the data collected on the site was classified systematically and archived. Measurement points coming from total station were imported to AutoCAD program and the n plan drawings, measurements were taken from diagonal and running measurements. For section drawings, vertical measurements were used. For facades, firstly photographs w drawings were produced both using points from total station and rectified photographs.

Historıcal Study and Restitutıon

The process of restitution study can be categorized as first phase, second phase, third phase and fourth (existing) phase. Documentation Historical Study and Restitution The First Period The Second Period The Third Period The Fourth (Existing) Priod

The First Phase: According to inscription on the façade, the building dates in 17371738 which is the original architectural formation as an Ottoman “Han”. The Second Phase: Second phase shows alterations and changes of the openings. This statement stands for the interpretation of the old photos of the building. Enlargement of original openings dates back to1940s. The Third Phase: Third Phase shows the changes after the fire. This phase can be seen explicitly at the photo from 1954. The name of the building is seen as “Burnt Khan / Yanık Han” at this photo and it indicates that the fire had occurred at least five years before 1954. Zekeriya Gümüşkesen, whose initials of the name places on the north façade as a sign, buys the idle khan after the fire and has the damaged west part of the building reconstructed and the undamaged east part renovated. The aerial photo form 1959 brings the change at the roof light; half of the building has gable roof while the other half is reinforced concrete flat roof. The Fourth (Existing) Phase: It is seen that the eastern part of the building also was changed to a reinforced concrete flat roof at the aerial photo from 1972 and it is taken as the existing phase the fourth and last period of the building.

AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of documenting, evaluating and conserving a monument which is a part of cultural heritage. To achieve this aim, Sefa Oteli, which is located in Milas, Muğla, was selected in order to understand the problems of a monument and to develop intervention decisions. This project is held by a group of which members are from various disciplines: 8 architects, 2 city planners, 2 interior architects and a civil engineer. This study is carried by CONS 506 and CONS509 studios in fall term of 2012 - 2013 academic year.

Reuse Proposal: Sefa Hotel has passed through different periods from an “Ottoman Han” to “Burnt Han” then Sefa Hotel and it is unfortunately idle and vacant today. Therefore, it is very important to decide who is going to use it and how to shape the future of the building? Moreover, Sefa Hotel is located in urban conservation site and it is neighbor to Uzunyuva archeological conservation site. It gives a great value to the building but on the other hand it may threaten its existence in the near future for the sake of accessing the lower archeological layers. Considering this situation, it is crucial to make the Sefa Hotel irreplaceable again for the local people in the local commercial zone “arasta”. In the light of all analyses and evaluation, it is decided that the building is going to be Rug and Carpet Weaving Academy promoting local production in the center of arasta, and the courtyard and its surrounding shops are going to be run by Milas Women’s Solidarity Foundation with the name of “Purple Courtyard” to support women’s entrepreneurship.

How should the addition be? It should be - contemporary - compatible with the original materials - demontable

I was diagnosed as cystic fibrosis when I was 5 years old. I always heard the name “cystic fibrosis” but never figured out why people get so sad when they heard it. I stayed 2 years in the village with my family. I remember how they forced me into laboratories; put devices in my arms and the big scary masks on my mouth..It was like a nightmare. When my family learned that there is no cure for this disease, they started to follow the latest researches and found about the village. What brought them here was the chance to take advices by the world famous doctors. But for me, the village had a complete different meaning: I knew neither reading nor writing, but the researchers who were looking after me explained my disease so that I was able to understand why and how it occurred. I remember suggesting them to test me if I have the gene to be a doctor. Now I am working and lecturing in the research center. We are proud to be pioneers in the cystic fibrosis gene researches and treatment methods. In 2010s the life expectancy was 40 years. Now, thanks to the genetic manipulation technology this period is much longer.

The controversial treatment method that has been called “placebo effect” is believed to have a self-healing capability embedded in the rituals of medicine. Starting with the assumption that placebo can produce and actual improvement, this medical term is used in this project as a metaphor to expand the boundaries of an architectural type: a research hospital. The architectural program of the medical campus includes conventional functions such as clinical departments, basic and social departments, research centers and institutes; but it also provides functions unique to architect’s interpretation of a “healing environment”. Songül ARICILAR _17

Sena KIRLANGIÇ _25 I was diagnosed as tuberculosis when I was 12 years old.My mom did not send me to a sanatorium. I remember how happy she was when she learned about the “Gümüşlük Health Village”. I stayed for 3 months in the village with my family. Of course, I was playing with other kids but what really thrilled me back then was the literature workshops by the artists coming from “the academy”. I wrote my very first poem in the village, when I was 12. Now, I am preparing my second poetry book for print. Learning literature not from the books but from workshops, has shaped my poetry.

I was 7 years old. My cough was getting worse thoroughly, my father could finally take me to the district health center. After doctor examined my lungs, he shouted at my father: “Why didn’t you come sooner, the disease has turned to pneumonia.” Then he suggested us to go another village, called “Gümüşlük health village”. When my father asked ashamedly “Isn’t our village enough Mr. Doctor? I cannot find money for going there” The doctor made a phone call and promised to help us. Then we could have gone to Gümüşlük health village for 6 months thanks to him.Then I have learned who helped us, it was “one breathe” foundation. That 5 months we spent there was maybe more use to my father than me. After he returned to village, he told to people whose children gets sick, what he learned at Gümüşlük and teach them right way to treat the kids. But my goal is different. When the health village first found, 80 % of the patients paid for themselves. Now, the rate of funded patients like me is 70%. I want to make sure that everybody has the chance I got. Whoever needs to come here, could be able to come. I aim to make projects in “one breath” foundation about this subject.

Enhancıng / Expandıng the Cıty Center: A Mixed-Use Complex

Once prestigious CBD of Ankara, Kızılay is now about to become a neglected area, as a result of the changing priorities of the city administration; no infrastructural rehabilitation, no new investment to upgrade, and no programmatic revisions for the enhancement of this historically significant center. Kızılay along with Ulus left to degradation of its own in all means. To reverse this peculiar condition, the local mayorship of Çankaya purses a series of projects. Of many proposals, one needs a special care for the SSK İşhanı because of its size, the allocated the current functions and its strategical location. Defining almost a wall-like border between one of the main arteries and Sakarya pedestrian district, the SSK İşhanı is in fact an introverted structure in nature, limiting all sorts of accessibility; and yet providing an inner-world of its own, all encapsulated within the limits of its sheer boundaries. The objective in this project is to rehabilitate the site and thus to re-value the city center with additional programmatic and architectural operations; and develop a mixed-use complex that will comprise a 150-bed city hotel, business offices, residences, cultural and gastronomical facilities, shops and related services. In contrast to existing building, this complex can be entered into, crossed through or stayed in. It is a building that defines the square flowing in different levels while providing various functions.

Sivrihisar Project [team work in master plan: Sıla Akman, Deniz Arıkan, Emine Ç. Asrav, Gökhan Bilgin]

“Designing with the Mansion, The Church, and The Rock” “rocky mountain defining Sivrihisar, rocky walls defining streets”

site plan plastic arts workshop

With the rocks, the church and the mansion, Sivrihisar has a lot to recount, and it is looking for something that can tell the story. Therefore, Sivrihisar is looking for a connector between its branches, which also can be landmark in the historical part of the town; born from the rocks, facing with the town! The complex of the fine arts academy makes the backyard of the church center of the academy with its linking functions; the library, and the café. There is a connector between the other branches, which also represents the identity of garden walls. Other branches; dance, painting, and music are related with this connector arcade. The complex of the academy is also open to new development towards the valley, thanks to the arcade.

Sivrihisar, as a town of Eskişehir, mostly stands out with its surrounding rocks, which may be emphasized by the rebellion of this unobtrusive town. The Church at the hillside of the town is one of the biggest Armenian Church in Turkey. With the rocks surrounding it, the church becomes a big landmark in the town. Sculptor Metin Yurdanur’s mansion is one of the historical heritages of architecture in Sivrihisar. As a mansion, the building is waiting to have an architectural intervention to become the sculpture museum and workshop in Sivrihisar.

context and scope:

Sculptor Metin Yurdanur is planning to establish a private musem and atelier in the historical mansion that he owns in his birthplace Sivrihisar. The mansion is across the historical church situated at the edge of the town, close to the skirt of the rocky hills that give the town its name. how can this historical town overcome its solitary and stagnant state, to take a leading role in the region and be integrated with the world? Can this museum create a momentum for other programs that might transform the life in Sivrihisar?

work stages:

a) Base maps, site sections and context models (1/1000, 1/500, 1/200), b) Team work: project scenarios, programs and concept designs (1/1000, 1/500, 1/200) c)Individual projects based on group scenarios (1/200)

The objective of the project is to introduce functional and aesthetic problems of a middle size public building in an urban context. A museum for children toys aims to house creative and inspirational collections of children toys, and encourage its visitors to explore the dreams of childhood. Apart from its permanent exhibitions, the toy museum serves for temporary and seasonal exhibitions as well as educational and leisure art programs in its body. The program of the building includes administration unit, exhibition areas, game hall, coffee and gift shop, services and storages. Circulation system, light control, speciousness, flexibility, accessibility, etc. are some of the important parameters in the program. Steel as a structural system is considered as an important constrain from the initial stages of the design process. 56
