ODDKIN AESTHETICS STUDIO FERDA KOLATAN University of Pennsylvania | Fall 2018

software: Rhino, ZBrush, KeyShot, Photoshop, Illustrator group work: Andrew Homick Through skillfully expressing the strange contradictions of its place, the project re-imagines the old barracks of the Tophane – Galaport in Istanbul with a re-invented natural park. The design rejects the proposed master plan of the former cruise-ship port at the edge the Bosporus; lacking any real engagement with the site’s rich history or its difficult conditions influenced by geographic and infrastructural obstacles. Confined within the existing retaining wall, the project hybridizes the architectural organization of the külliye with the mechanical structure of the machine, formulating a new urbanism which manifests radicality. The towers normalcy as a mundane or generic object emphasizes the transitional space in which the elevator core is revealed; making the area below both ornamental and precious. Blending the retaining wall with the new urban façade facilitates a commercial and retail program at the street level, a hybrid that begins to draw people up into the natural park. The infrastructure is celebrated through the cracks and crevices of both the storefront and towers as the rite of passage to the entrance of the park. Questioning whether the natural park always existed as architecture or nature; these moments begin to merge and reveal unique relationships and precious details for the citizens to experience as they progress through the park.

software: Rhino, ZBrush, Vray, Photoshop, software: Rhino, Maya, Vray, Photoshop, Illustrator, Illustrator ZBrush group work: Yang Li, Yiren Weng group work: Yang Li The studio explored an indoor/outdoor rock climbing facility next to the Viaduct Rail Park in Callowhill neighborhood of Philadelphia. Formerly known as the Reading Viaduct, this piece of infrastructure was a railway which ran through neighborhoods, sometimes as a tunnel, sometimes as an elevated platform. In the conventional climbing gyms, climbing holds made out of resin or figerglass mimic rock holding moments in nature through artificial way as a extra element. In this project, we explore the possibilities that allowed building and climbing holds becomes a whole.

software: Maya, Rhino, KeyShot, Photoshop, Illustrator individual work Transformations for a Live/Work Building in Tribeca, New York City. Hybrid condition building is a rethinking of our live and work mode in order to better satisfying and serve our needs. The concept is transferred into circulation, unit organization, program layout, facade language and furnishing systems. The Building is designed for movie producers in response to prosperous movie industry in Tribeca area. The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002.

DRACAENA STUDIO DANIELLE WILLEMS University of Pennsylvania | Fall 2015

software: Maya, Rhino, Vray, Photoshop, Illustrator group work: Yang Li, Jin Woo Lee, Morgan Welch Our pavilion is named after the Dracaena, a plant with long, pointed leaves that bend and sway. The dracaenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dramatic foliage makes the plant seem to occupy more space than its narrow trunk otherwise might. Creatures like porcupines and pufferfish also use sharp protrusions to claim their space in the environment, to generate their own space that is safe from the outside world. Our pavilion exceeds the boundaries of its own mass with its aggressive metal scales. The arch of the pavilion provides a safe enclosed space, showing the soft curves of the underlying supporting structure, contrasted with the hard lines of the exterior skin.

COMTEMPORARY DETAIL TO AESTHETICS STUDIO ALI RAHIM University of Pennsylvania | Spring 2019

software: MAYA, KeyShot, Photoshop, Illustrator individual work Through studying the techniques and aesthetics on comtemporary automobiles, the project focused on the finest detail based on the possibilities of a manufacturing process accessible to the discipline of architecture. Started with the detail of the surface and expand the detail to a volume and finally to experience. The design began with transmitting the aesthetic languages of the Lamboghini Elemento Sestoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer surface, inner mechanism and the inbetween spaces into architecture facade, structure and infrastures. Through carefully analyzing the formal features of the seam, crease and edge on the faceted outer shell of the vehicle, facade panels are aggragated based on these rules. In contrast to the conventional criteria that treating insfrascture as an additional elementes that attached to building facade or panels, Blending the mechanical/structural systems with the panels and facade, architecture is being considered as a unity and the hybrid would enrich the experience to occupants.

JOURNAL SQUARED HANDEL ARCHITECTS Jersey City, NJ | August 2013 software: AutoCAD

Assisted with construction documents floor plans and material shcedule on Journal Square in Jersey City. “Journal Squared, is a 2.3 million SF high-rise development that will be the linchpin in the redevelopment of Journal Square. Designed for Kushner Real Estate Development (KRE), the project will dramatically transform the traditional “back door” of the Journal Square PATH station into a new “front door” with a sweeping pedestrian plaza for community events, pedestrian connections from the surrounding community, and a redesigned Magnolia Avenue. Above a base of retail and podium parking, three residential towers will rise – the tallest at 70 stories – and include 1,840 residential units. The first of three phases, topping out at 54 stories, is currently under construction.”

STEAM VASE ARCH750 KUTAN AYATA University of Pennsylvania | Spring 2019

software/equipment: MAYA, KeyShot, Photoshop, Canon T7i Steam vase has been functioning as a medication equipment since 17th century. Steam vase is invented in1630 by Dan Hurley in French in response to the widely spreading Tubeculosis. Then, it was commonly used for treating respiratory diseases and epidemic diseases in later time. Even in nowadays, it has been proven that the daily usage can effectively avoid transmission of influenzena. Due to medical development, the functional aspects of the steam vase have been gradually abandoned. It is also treated as decorative vase for home display due to its aesthetic formal figures.

software/equipment: Photoshop, Canon T7i The work discusses the chaotic moment in the city by considering the elements of lighting, architecture, infrastructure, people and vehicles all together. There is an intention of breaking the boundary of timing and space of photography. With the technique of long time exposure and Photoshop, people and vehicles existing at different moments would be able to be brought together and to be shown in one image. In this piece, photos are taken in the busiest part of center city in Philadelphia. Through photographing at same location for different timing, angle and overlapping them together creates the possibility for bring people/vehicles at different moments together as well as showing complicacy and chaotic status of city.
