THE CARAPACE

1MATERIAL PERFORMANCE

Year: Freshman, Spring 2013Location: Santral Istanbul, Alibeyköy, Istanbul

Category: PavillionDuration: 2 months

Status: Built 1:1, removed from site in Spring 2014Group members: Ece Abdioğlu, Ekin Arslan EEce Emanetoğlu,Deniz Eskiçırak, İdil Işıksoy Kübra Koyuncu, Pelin Tatlıcı, Eylül UtkanInstructors: Şebnem Yalınay-Çinici Caner Bilgin, İnanç Eray, Salih Küçüktuna

*The carapace is the dorsal (back) convex part of the shell structure of a turtle, con-sisting primarily of the animal's ribcage, dermal armor and scutes.

At the end of the freshman year, as the final project of Basic Design II, the assignment was to design and construct a material system which would be later exhibited in a designated area in santralistanbul. The main purpose was to in-terpret the abilities of a specific material and how small units of these materials can get together to shape a macro-form with the assistance of these properties and the performance of the material.

As a group of nine, we examined the capability of plywood and how plywood could be reduced to units and integrat-ed in a systematic way, creating a pavillion/shelter/shell. After several trials using different materials, instead of using a secondary material to attach these units, we decided on creating an interlock system and using the material itself as the connecter.

creating unit and connecter types in a countable amount(general and controlable measurements and angles were used)

where units and connecters meet

different angle connections(180°,150°,120°,90°)

units getting lighter at the top of the macroform (avoids collapsing and lets snow and rain fall down from these gaps)

1creating unit and connecter types in a countable amount(general and controlable measurements and angles were used)2

changing the units to make the macroform more flexible(making the triangular units irregular and creating new connecters with different angles according to a pre decided macroform)

3changing the units to make the macroform more flexible(making the triangular units irregular and creating new connecters with different angles according to a pre decided macroform)

Gaps on the structure avoid the material to go undertension and crack. It also creates a system of gaps which grow going up on the structure.

The system is made of a pattern consisting of pentagons,hexagons and heptagons. The diversity in the geometry andhow the wood surfaces have an outgrowth increases thecomplexity and dimensionality of the design.

Plywood is a material with a high coefficient of friction.This property of plywood allows it to be used in interlocking systems.

The detail in this system is the material itself. 3 joints are usedto connect two trimmed triangles. The angles assigned to thejoints help forming the structure.

Macroform adaptates with the nature surrounding the tree nearby.

The gaps which increase moving up on the macroform create patterned shadows when the sun hits the structure and it createsa place for people to relax.

22BLACK HOUSEBUILDING MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES

Year: Sophomore, Spring 2014Location: SNEÉ Island, Norway (fictional)

Category: ResidentialDuration: 2 months

Instructors: Cem Altun, Özge Sarı

The “Building Materials and Technologies” is a course independent from the architectural studio. In the first semester, we were to investigate different technologies in constructions and detail solutions via case studies from the Detail magazine. With the knowledge of these, we were firstly asked to design a fictional island, secondly to design a house compatible with the climate in this specific island, decide all of the materials involved according to the performances wanted and to draw a detailed section of the foundation, wall, slab, roof and openings.

SNEE is an island in SNEE is an island in Norway with a tundra climate and it consists of snowy, rocky and high sloped hills. The black house is located on one of these hills and it is the home to an artist who came to the island to be inspired from the northern lights and decided to live here permanently. The house includes also her/his studio.

The Black House

Black House is the home to an artist who decided to move to the island and started to give art lessons to the locals. It’s located on an app. 45 degree sloped, a snowy and a rocky hill. With its black surfaces which make an impression of the black rocks on the summit, it cre-ates a contrast on the white snowy topography. Small openings are used mainly to avoid the heat loss and also to make the contrast between the light coming from the house and the black surfaces more vibrant. From these openings, the glaciers, the local settlement and the northern lights can be seen at the same time.

Instead of a free plan, the house consists of 3 volumes coming together and creating a two floored house. Where the mass meets the topography, there is a concrete foundation which leads to a steel construction where the blocks are seperated from the land. Black corrugated aluminum cladding is used because of its water and endurability performances and also be-cause of its lineation. Matte aluminum frames are used in the openings to be compatible with the cladding.

33CLUSTER IN DATÇADWELLING ON THE CARIAN ROAD

Year: Sophomore, Spring 2014Location: Eski Datça, MuğlaCategory: ResidentialDuration: 2.5 months

Instructor: Burcu Kütükçüoğlu

At the end of the sophomore year, after a 3-day trip to Datça, we were asked to design an open community of dwell-ings in the neighbourhood of Eski Datça, settlement where stone houses dominate the town and emerge with the silent atmosphere and the ever-green nature. The dwellings were to be stone, designed for a specific group of people and in 3 main types: 35 m2, 70 m2 and 105 m2.

In this purpose, the best idea was to design a cluster for artists from different branches of art where they can live with their families or on their own and share ideas and socialize while enjoying the landscape, the silence and parti-ally avoiding the surrounding settlements. Due to respect to the ongoing architecture, small stone houses were desig-ned and placed on the designated area according to several parameters decided during the analysis of the site. They are placed on 3 main hypotethical strips which enhance the topographycal movement of the site, which are also the pedesterian paths. These paths are connected by a patterned landscape intervention

44SPEAKERS CORNERURBAN VENUE AT KARAKÖY

Year: Junior, Fall 2015Location: Karaköy, İstanbulCategory: CulturalDuration: 2.5 months

Instructors: Emrah Altınok, Devrim ÇimenSinan Logie, Gözde Şarlak

For the second studio assignment of the junior year, we were asked to design a venue to be mainly used for informing the public and hosting forums and discussions on the urban issues of Istanbul. This venue hypothetically is to be managed by an NGO and collaboratively funded. It is expected to provide with a space of collaboration and encoun-ter between various social actors and institutional bodies involved in the transformation or the preservation of the built environment such as local authorities, NGOs, neighborhood organizations, academics and design professionals.

Speakers corner is an urban venue where people from different groups (who may not be professionals at giving spee-ches) come at a designated time and talk about any urban issue they are interested in. This venue also serves as a place where people can study, do research and socialize. In includes discussion rooms, a library, an exhibition hall, a cafe and most importantly a topographical public space which serves in different functions such as the speech sessions, open air performances, gatherings, casual social activities and interventions to the visitors. The form of the building and the public spapublic space reinforces the pedestrian life and the tight bond between the compartments of the building between each other and also between the topographical stairs.
