04_Cassaba Mall Sales Office Proposal

A national competition an-nounced in june 2011 with the colloboration of Antalya Kepez Municipality and Chamber of Architects of Antalya, was val-uable for the Turkish contem-porary architectural production since the yearly number of an-nounced competitions in Turkey is far below the European aver-age(app.10,1923-2012).Antalya Kepez Municipality intented to ac-quire the projects of planned Cul-tural and Convention Center via a national competiton , which will be the largest of Antalya in terms of audience capacity and area. The program demands multi purpose halls of 2000 and 300 people, a wedding hall of 200 people, a restaurant of 200 peo-ple, exhibition spaces, adminis-tratiton, services and closed car parking for 200 cars. In addition to realization of the above men-tioned spaces, the building is expected to be a step forward to chance the image of Kepez, which is the settlement of low-income society of Antalya, suffering from scatter housing since 1970’s.

The aim of the municipality is both to achieve a good building to accomplish political goals and increase the level of dialogue of people with arts and cultural life. As a reponse, we have proposed a mediation of all needs as well as questioning the demands. Being our first experience of a pro-fessional competition, the approach was quite naive and far from concerns about the construction and cost, perhaps being the main reason that lead the project to the first prize.The projects’ competitive bidding came to an end in April 2012 and construction is planned to begin in june 2012 with a budget of 13.000.000 Euros. Many immature points of the project had been developed during the construction drawing phase and also presented. Apart from all, the experience of being the author of such a project right following the graduation was shocking, exhausting and fruitful.q

Some of them are taken at my visit to site in summer 2014 and some of them taken by Bahar Yilmaz ARKITERA, reporter, a prominent online architectural platform. Arkitera keeps track of a number of building’s construction process and life-cycles, and publishes a yearly report on the condition of buildings, projects of which were determined by competitions.

Although the photos are not good from the perspective of architectural photography, and construction is not finalized to show facade finishings and details, the simple and determinate tectonic of the building can be perceived as most of the ideas and feelings that were tried to be conveyed by its architecture.

An international competition announced in October 2012 aiming to select the project for the Mausoleum and Museum building(s) of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ s found-ing president Rauf Denktas. Rauf Denktas passed away in early 2012, and he was the political leader of Turkish community in Cyprus being the founding president of Turk-ish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is officially recognized only by Turkey. However the matter is politically complicated, whether the TRNC is a legitimate independent coun-try or a part of Cyprus practically invaded by Turkish Army, there is no doubt that R.R. Denktas was an important political figure and turkish community in cyprus is very fond of him. The site is in the middle of a major park, The Peace and Democracy Park in Nicosia, capital of TRNC. The grave of R. Denktas is located in a certain spot in the park, basing on the vision that a mausoleum will be contructed. Without changing the existing location of the grave, a mausoleum and a museum of 1800m2 closed space was asked to desing. A ceremonial area for nearly 1000 people and an open per-formance area were also demanded. The museum was asked to be a dynamic place, where extibitions and concerts can take place, and will convey the historical knowledge to next generations via experience. The project was awarded with a Honorable Mention to be in the Top 8 among 104 participiants. Additional information related to the competition can be found at: ‘’www.denktascompetition.com’’.

A restricted competition only open to Middle East Technical University Graduates was announced to obtain a design for the cenotaph of Kemal Kurdas, founding and beloved president of METU. He was mostly appreciated by creating a culture of solidarity and responsibility towards nature that is unique to METU. He leaded the famous Aga Khan awarded METU forestation project that still continues its impacts. Considering his deep love of nature, and his memory associated with METU Forest, a artificial landscape of stainless stell was proposed. METU forest is being attacked recently due to its valueable land rent, extending between Konya and Eskisehir Roads. The attacks have a political motivation as well as economical however the symbolic support to METU forest is perceived as a symbolic support to METU soul and the memory of Kemal Kurdas. Proposal is formed of 453 steel units each one standing for a different species of tree in METU forest, containing the seeds of individual trees in its section. Unit’s form was found as an abstraction of a stereotipical tree. Overall formation, the harmonical movement of all units somehow resembles the harsh landscape under METU forest.

04_2014 YTONG Idea Competition : 1 of 4 Equivalent Prizes, “Story of Nomad Provacator”

YTONG 2014 Idea competition was different and rare in the sense that it was announced and the expectations defined by the jury. The scope of the competition was to gather novel ideas about the role of architecture in cultural continuity and identity in 21st century. No site, constraints or limitations were defined that specifies the prob-lem making the deisgn challenge for the competition even more tackling, yet interesting.

The proposal was a scenario-project called “The Story of Nomad Provocator” that percevies cocepts of change, resistance to change and identity erosion in urban environments with a creative and crit-ical perstive of technology. In the upper stratum, the proposal nar-rates a series of instances that are based on similar cases taken from near history of Turkey, in which a character called Nomad Provo-cator behaves as a protoganist character and affects and evolves the situation in a positive manner, similar to that of a super hero. In the deeper stratum, the proposal aimes to make the followers of teh story to question the very nature of the Nomad Provocator with its unstable and ever changing nature, machinic appearence yet hu-manely sensivite behaviour wand to which positions that these con-tradictions position the Nomad Provocator in contemporary Turk-ish paradigm of identity in architecture leading to a critism of it.

The scenario project can further investigated in two ways:

1-Naively and optimisticaly created story

2- The discussion of identity/place based on the own nature of No-mad Provocator

Office/PavilionFebruary 2015, Eskisehir ,TurkeyRole : As project author and project leaderInvolved Phases : Concept design

A conceptual deisgn offer was asked for a representation and sales office of a prospective shopping mall in Eskisehir, a western city of Turkey developing rapidly. The client indicated that he is in posession of a large quantity if 7mm thickness semi opaque white pleksi plates and wanted to make use of his current stock. Considering the area limitation and the avalilability of material, a concept design was developed in grasshopper, by means of slicing a surface shell border and parametrically developing the connection elements. The life time of the building was thought to be long was was planned to be left for municipalities use after it served its purpose as sales office, for future use as an exhibiton point by menas of removal of its interior partitions,

Project uses the organizational capacity of architecture and local building materials in a genuine and optimistic way considering the latest developments on the awareness and con-sciousness of residents of the city’s claiming right to interfere on the dicisions given about its public spaces, like hat of Gezi Park protests. The project is an idea on the post removal of Eskisehir Stadium, which opens up a huge void in the heart of the city. Eskisehir having two of Turkey’s populated universities, has a huge student population compared to its total demographic structure. In the light of aforementioned concerns, the project intends to create a new square as a centralized organization, also supporting it with a series of cultural and recreational program-matic activities. These activites are mostly considered to work with student organizations and rely their activeness on the political and social activity of the students. Tectonic idea is a two layered waving and vaulting formation, inside out from a central point, being the standing point of a memorial dedicated to those who were dead in past protests. The amplitude of waves increase as the need of structural strenght and spatial depth increases, the superposition of two wave systems with different wavelenghts give the opprtunities of light and water control as well as tectonic invention. The proposal also intents to stand for an iconic point in the city, with an awareness of Eskisehir’s not having a piece of contemporary architecture that can represent this special city’s position in 21st century Turkey.

07_Education Campuses National Competition Maras Campus of Education:1st Prize

Turkish Ministry of Education opened a com-petition following the decleration of a major reform program in educational system. Minis-ter announced that the lack of classroom count and sportive social facilites countrywide will be solved with a radical policy, building 5000 and 10000 student capacity education campuses. These campuses will be introduced in many cit-ies of Turkey, their capacities changing accord-ing to the need of classroms in that particular context. To obtain the projects, ministry organ-ized a competition. The application was made through portfolio and for each city, 6 contest-ent team were chosen by lottery. Following the teams are informed of their city and therefore context and program, competition had started. Proposal was awarded with 1st prize due to its succesful creation of a multi-scale urban en-viroment in a rural area, the site being located 10km’s away from city centre of Maras, a south-eastern province. Another reason that prevailed the proposal from others was the handling of the extremely heavy program ,over 190.000sqms, in a considerably low storey mass formation. Creat-ing high masses was always something avoided during the design process, in order not to detach daliy life from outside and recreaional open spaces. Following the competition the contract was signed betwwen the ministry for the 1/100 draw-ings in order to start the bidding process. After the submission of first draft, i left the country for my studies in AA, giving up all my ocupational right on the project to Eren Basak from Baobab Architects, another author of the project.

Anadolu Univeristy Faculty of Architecture and Design is the only non-competition work in this portfolio and my office was asked to design the project by a local office in the same city of the university. The current facilites of the faculty was found insufficient in terms of floor area but also technical and spatial quali-ties of spaces. A whole new building was asked to be designed in another campus of the univer-sity and a relatively large area for the project was provided. The program asked was quite heavy and expected built area was appearing quite overwhelming over site. A convention-al approach to this density of program would result in a quite big scale and monumental ar-chitecture, which can be intimidating and not inviting.

Our main goal was to create a faculty build-ing which is inviting and acts as a socializing and meeting point between different faculties of the university. As a result, humanly scale, accesisbility in multiple directions, and bro-ken hierarchies was the key strategiaes to be followed.

A green base that regulates the relationship with the gorund level and shelters the work-shops was proposed, (also helping the break down the scale and hiding some of the program elements under) the studios and administrive spaces were proposed as a secondary level on top of it the departments being seperated with angularity and directionality.

View from northeast, the green base of workshops helps to bring down the scale and fragmentalization of educational units on top of it aims to negotiate with human scale.

09_BORUSAN Kindergarden Design National Competition : Top 10 Finalist

Borusan a holding that produces steel structural parts. started a campaing to provide kindergradens in industrial sites which will encourage women with children to work. The childcare being seen as the primary duty of a women in turkish community, holds back a lot of skillful women from participating in worklife, affecting negatively the social status of women and countries economy. The campaing involved an archietctureal competition to come up with a protopicial kinder garden design which can be applied in different industrial sites over the country. Proposal uses circular neutrality and surface curvature to negotiate with different topographical conditions and rotation to define entrance directions. Taking, its roots from the childrends’ interest on playing on inclined surfaces, project burries itself under a spiral wooden roof and formalizes a secure courtyard. The change in curvature of the wooden roof and the diameter of the courtyard provides the adaptive qualities of the prototipical system, the rotation of the overall system suggest directionality for the entrance. The project was chosen to be one of the top 10 finalists amongst 176 entries, however was not awarded with a prize degree. Reasons fro teh failure were secure lower courtyards weak relatioship with ground level and adaptive capabilitie’s being found not efficient enough.

THESIS STATEMENT

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

PROPOSAL / SCENARIO The scenario for the proposal is a need for research and accomodation fa-cility in arctric region, Greenland, a very harsh and unstable environment. Ac-cording to the scenario, the number of users for such facility is increasing over time in 3 vawes, and expected to be used for 3 months in total being the neces-sary time of research and accomodation. As a response to the scenario, the system is deployed from the sea to the site, in different number of groups ac-cording to the demand of built environ-ment. Topographic analysis is conducted for each wave of coming users, a new op-timum path for ground agents in order to establish a logistics/energy network is generated. The real time climatic data is streamed in the system software to ensure printing success , as well as future weath-er prediction is used to determine needed thermal insulation and structural depth. The flying agents intrepret the mac-roform responsive to the real time data and future predictions, arriving in high performance and adaptive re-sults for a complex built environment.

The research explores the idea of using an autonomous swarm of quadcopters to 3D print ice as an environmentally friend-ly on site material, and its possible implications on architecture. The system relies on stochastic and deterministic meth-ods of design by incorporating a top down logic to ensure the projects spatial and structural performance and a bottom up approach to account for the logistics ,organization and local decision for performance based goals of architecture us-ing swarm robotics. The research aims to adress to a negotiation between material, environment and machine behav-iour to arriving at high peformance and architecturaly valuable results in climatically harsh environmental conditions.

The research was conducted under 5 main titles:

- Material / Deposition System Research : Aims to explore the contraints and possibilites of ice as a printable material and devel-oping necessary hardware to be attached on the flying agent-Flight Control Research : Aims to explore the constraints of the machine, it’s capacities of carrying material and performing complex flight tasks by computer instructions-Macroform/ Themal and Structural Research : Aims to explore general rules and guidelines of building in a cold environment with the inherent constratins of the material,, volumetric and themal necessities that needs to be obeyed for human comfort.-Behavioural Production Research : Aims to explore the potentials given by a high population of agents material deposition and its implications on printed form. This research can be called also as an interpretation research of macroform, creating a high perfomance, adaptive and structural materialization from simple guidelines by local decisions of agents.-Logistics / Material and Energy Cycles Research : Aims to explore the answer to important questions such as usage of materi-al,energy and time. As well as developing methods to provide these resources. This research gives us the possibility of realistical-ly approximating the results of simualtions in terms of volume, energy and time. Therefore gives us the opprotunity of evaluating and comparing our system in its own paradigm or with conventional methods of construction.-Proposal : A porposal in which the information and methods gained from research is put to practice and tested responding to the conditions of an artificial scenario

Design MethodologyProject Instant Ice investigates the idea of using high population of UAV’s 3D printing Ice as a constrcution material. The recyclable nature of the material brings many positive aspects in terms of environmental sensitivity, also suggests possible implication areas for the proposals. The project looks for fast, temporary and adaptive construction in cold parts of the world, where mean temperature does not fall below -4c during the lifetime of the structure.

The design methodology involves a combination of top down and bottom up approaches. Programmatic, macrostructural and environmental factors are aimed to be responded with developed machine behaviours of local nature with detail and flight formations.

Deposition simualtions are seen as an essential part of overall research since it aims to reach and simulate realistic feedback to des-ing by predicting material behaviour. A well developed deposition simualtion can help to predict successfuly depositable volume.

Increasing the multiplier of revolve around rule results in increased number of cavities inside the wall section

A more complex example of interpretation and control is presented. Different rules of microehaviours are mapped in different parts of the trajectories so the end result can be manipulated for architectural intentions. In the below exam-ple the basic shell sample starts with flat surface than creating alevel of openings and ends with ribbed vaults.

From final simulation: initiating printing process An archietctural proposal was developed with the current system taken from research on a prototiical site in green land. The Environmental information like current temperature and future temperature for 3 monhts was used as well as number of users to be inhabited,

The architectural prototype reflects the variety of local behaviours utilized in creating different spatial situations as well as involving teh macroform research in terms of structural integrity, volumetric ratios and multi layering. The proposal is built in three phases finally to shelter a group of 320 researchers for 3 months. It is built in a certain distance from sea, not being so far to lose efficiency for deployment and energy network, and not so close o be affected from water level and coastline changes.
