MIO |Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography
In 402 design studio we were assigned to design a Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography at Antalya on The site of Talya Hotel. While designing the program we were also responsible to have our own way of intervention to already existing Talya Hotel. After a group study of all participants of the studio, we defined our program contents and meter squares of the spaces.
Intervention to the Talya Hotel is one big concern for all of us and at the end it turn out to be our “What if?” question and every answer was unique. Because of historic background of Talya Hotel as knowing that Talya has contemporary manners and being the first five star hotel in Antalya; every citizen have their own memories. In this manner, MIO should have built the connections with city and citizens.
Another concern is to strengthen the sea & land relation because, analysis we made while we were on a site visit show us that there is a boned between cliffs and citizens. So our site will work as a bridge between see and land.
First step was defining axles that come both from city and Talya itself. By the help of these, access points of site were defined and division of the site was occurred. This division provides the program distribution and massing. Green areas at the surrounding also give the leaking paths of the city and citizens to the site. Mimics the surrounding buildings orientations and Talya’s own building were a leading condition for massing. By the help of the positioning and orientation of the new form, connection with the city reinforced and it provides natural ventilation and shading conditions get beneficial both for inside the site and for the surrounding environment. Also by the help of axles and massing, center of the program was defined and became a social center. As a design approach, program divided in to two as private spaces located at the higher and public spaces were located at lower levels which emphasize the continuity of the land to sea relation. Whole spaces were connected by a continuous canopy which defines regions on cliff and sea.
One major aim of the design is to able people to have varied experiences of sea and cliff relation.

Week 14 | BIM
In our last Arch462 course we have our guest Onur Özkoç to tell us about his way of embracing BIM. We talk about how BIM changed effect and bring to the architecture and construction disciplines. There are three major topics at the presentation as change in demand, role of BIM and what we are goıng to face with BIM’s arrival. In the demand part, we see that the client we work with change by the time and their needs and expectations are also changed. Very big difference is that in the past there were patrons and let architect do what they know to do and provide the financial side of the work. However, todays conditions are differing as architect first responsibility is make his client happy and provide every need of him. “They say that architecture is an art but artists are free people, architects not.” I believe it sums up the condition. Clients priorities also sift, they consider time and money more than anything. Because projects get bigger, number of people and discipline also increase. Here is the architect’s most difficult responsibility comes, architect is the person that gathers and builds the connection between every single part. Architects have very vied spectrum of work and making them took more time than designing. BIM’s major benefit is that BIM able the users, participants to work coordinated and cooperatively. It provides project to end in a shorter time with near to no mistake way.

Week12 | Fire Protection and Architectural Space
Our guest in lessen Tanju Ataylar give a lecture related to the fire and life safety. Fire protection divides in to two as prevention and protection. There difference is one is prevention is the studies that are done for not having an fire and protection is in case of a fire we see the effect of the design. Design procedure have two types as, prescriptive design which provides the provisions and performance based design which provides architect to be more free and focus to design. Means of egress and compartmental fire zone are two important points in design for architects. There are four key necessities that an architect should provide successfully. Travel distance, width of exit,, number of the exit and limitations on the travel path; these are the necessities that should studied carefully and we learned some tips about these conditions. We majorly talk over travel distance and its varieties, as an example one beneficial tool is the have horizontal escape and I related to the escapes it is important to calculate number of people who will use exits. We learned the importance and the benefits of the compartmentation, it is very basically a room that in case of a fire that traps the fire inside a room. Last but not least we learn the naming and classification of the materials as REI (resistance, integrity and ınsulation).

Week 10 | Electrical Systems & Architectural Spaces
In our lecture there were major 3 topics as high voltage, low voltage and generator. For the high voltage rooms we should not get inside without control and safety provided. In case of an unordinary case when we see an electric current by bare eyes around high voltage rooms we should immediately call authorities and stay at a safe distance. Low voltage current is what we use in our buıldings. Transformer is what electric engineers use for transformation of high current to low current. Generators are the support systems in case of a cut in electrical current; it is expansive because it works by diesel motors. There are two disadvantages as it produces excess amount of exhaust gas and noise. In constructions it is legal obligation to have one generator to power up fire systems and lightning in case of an extreme event. There are several types of generators that can be used in different conditions and needs but one important advice is that putting low voltage rooms inside the building. When we put low voltage rooms out of the building we have to work over the visual conditions and one that located out of the building have less insulation that ends up with lots of noise that will make people live around the building. There are 3 important conditions that are must to be provided in the design stage. First is all the doors of low voltage rooms should open to outside, second is there shouldn’t be any wet floor spaces on top of the room and last one is there shouldn’t be ant transit pass of other disciplines materials inside the room. Addition to these also the exit of the hot air and exhaust gas should be planed carefully. Another topic we talk was the lightning protection. Single lightning rod on top of a tower won’t work adequately. Rods also need to be design as architect’s and electrical engineer’s cooperative work. One last advice we get in lecture is working over renewable energy sources.

Week9 | Mechanical Systems & Architectural Spaces
In our lecture our main topic was how mechanical engineers and architects work together, how the process goes on and how we should manage the coordination. In a big scale projects most important and hard thing to achieve is providing an integrated design. Integrated design is needs hard work because there are too many persons involve to it and every single one has their own wants and needs. It is very tiring but end product provides too many benefits it many conditions as economic and time. It made you to do too many revisions but gives you more qualified project. A mechanical engineer should participate to the project not at the construction phase but at the very beginning, when an architect start to draw a design project an engineer should participate to the design, they should work cooperatively. Today’s conditions in big scale projects there are several project development processes and our country improved in the construction phase of the whole project but in developed countries they give more importance to the first the phase as strategic definition , preparation and brief. These two phases provide project to be effective in all ways and be more qualified for every discipline and participant of the project. In this state architects not just draw plans and sections but provide the optimization of all discipline and keep them together.

Structural Design & Architectural Space
This week of Arch462 our guest structural engineer Özhan Akay tells us about buildings architecture and static design relation. From over all presentation I understand that most important subject for the engineers is the earthquake regulation. Their studies are depending one providing the buildings’ durability over the protection of life and property safety. They work is for having appropriate structural design that fits to the earthquake regulations. There are several points that effects the design; having different functions (high-rise with commercial base floor), not just aesthetic and function but also high rent potential, national and international architectural standards, national and international project disciplines and geological data. There are basic 5 types of structures; reinforced concrete, steel, wooden, composite and masonry buildings. All both have advantages and disadvantages. In our country we most of the time use reinforced concrete because it is too easy to reach its ingredients so it is easy to reach large amounts of it. One another reason is that you can easily find workers who can work at concrete constructions. Even steel is more adaptive to the designs and able you to design more extreme in our country there are no workers that knows how to work with the material on the other hand steel is more expensive then the concrete as its construction coast. As I understood a structural engineers work is the calculation of the forces relations in every single part of the design. Because our country is on the earthquake region our most important concern is to protect a structure from collapsing in an earthquake. While working on a design projects there should be also a structural engineer. We learn that, ın our studios we aim to stay away from the symmetry in our designs but structural engineers want us to have symmetrical designs.

Organization in Large Scale Projects
We have our lecture with Cem Altınöz from Öncüoğlu Mimarlık. In his professional life he majorly works on big scaled projects and in the lecture he tells us about what we are going to face up in a large scale projects. What works we are going to do , which concerns we may have , problems that we may face with and most important one for me is that the connection , bond that we have to correlate with other sectors. In large scale projects, as an architect we are going to design for someone that also be used by someone else. There is a chain of effect over the decisions that we are making. In small scale projects our concern is to solve the problems of the person how is going to use the design but in larger scale, there will be an owner that has this design for some users. In this manner we should keep the balance between your design and owners wishes. In small scale projects there are few people you are goıng to cooperate. When the scale of design gets bigger the number of groups also increases that mean more and more people you have to get approval. Project starts with a design that shaped by the owners program requests than reshaped, revised under the needs of sectors. In large scale projects while signing the contract it will be better to also get the supervisory service, in this way you can have the power of controlling the construction in the manner of design itself. Provide from misunderstanding and misapplications. In large scale projects one important person is consultant that provides the healthy communication between client and you. When the project gets bigger, new groups join to the design process as; fire escape, acoustic, façade consultant, and ext. There are also some softwares that aim is to increase the harmony between all sectors. Provide synchronization with each other. This provides all groups to work simultaneously and synchronized which also helps to speed up the process.

| Lynn, Greg. Animate Form. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 1999.
“Animate Form” by Grag Lynn plays an important role as an initiator and has good potential of playing the role of index of what we try to discover for parametric design thinking. Even it has a clear language, facing with new terminology and new meanings for some phrases was hard for me to understand and comment on it. Especially for the second half of the text I am totally lost even I try reading more than one. If I have to list some phrases that I grasp form the text so far there will be: animation, motion, topology, form and parameters are ones that I may comment on. First aim of animated form is defining two terms animation and motion, clearly the difference between two. Briefly animation is evaluation and motion is movement. Related with this topic “Dagognet describes Mayer as pursuing “movement not moment” in his continuous date recordings.” I believe here “movement “represents motion and “moment” is animation. In my opinion but not sure if it is correct but, there is a process, an evaluation of something and a period of this change is what we see and define as animation. For the notion we experience not the change but movement and action in a period of time. Animation fills the in between of act and react.
For the topology, we have a form that can be both a perfect geometry but also and, under different forces applied over that outcome is a new form and at the end these two have same topology. So when we see varies forms we should know that they may share the same topology. What we get from knowing is it helps us to decide in what way we are going to treat that form. When I come to the page 26 I define myself sort of a chard like much like a loose group of words: as a star we have a form , with force applied we have new one. This force changes some parameters (parameters are qualities that define the form). Form also includes in itself curved lines and the changes we see on those lines caused by force are what we get as an animation. Further parts of the text slowly get in the computer evaluations. For that part I only able to comment as Mayer’s works are the base of computer animation. Remaining is for now a black hole but when I started to understand what he says I am mesmerized.
One thing I remember later that there is a term which I read in the text that I cannot relate clearly. So as I get from readings there is an approach to the state of “abstract”, “abstraction”; while I try to understand whole thing the term “Cartesian” disturbed me. What confuses me is while studying over something to define/ create that does not totally matches with strictly defined properties. Cartesian is same thing mathematically defined but I am not sure how it will be beneficial to start from it to achieve what is not defined before.
From the “Introduction” part of the Kolarevic’s book, first two things I remember clearly are blobs and boxes. I understand that before all these non-perfect geometry started to studied architects and other fields work with perfect geometry also called as known /used to ones because of the easy of studying with them. They like it because they are able to play with it. They are able to change the way they want with the operations of scaling, multiplication, combining… There is a struggle for these new forms that are not perfectly fit to this “Cartesian” for each of different quality people who works with them have to overcome all those qualities which are new and undiscovered. This digitalization’s very basic and powerful side is, it allow person to discover and learn what we say new.
Another subject is the situation of (I’m not sure if it is the wright word but) co-working, inspiration, interaction between different field with architecture. Given first example are ships then airplanes. When I read “From Ships to Buildings” and “Learning from Others” I satisfied by the condition of sharing and learning from others because it opens up new doors for future. Later in the further reading this situation made me feel doubtful and irritated.
Second chapter of the book “Digital Morphogenesis” works as dictionary of all but for me even I read it twice I am still lost. It helps to understand the background of how we should thing, how we are able to learn. The way he explains elements of this new system is what I really admired of him. All the outline of the book is shaped as when you continue to read you learn step by step, as additions. This second part as I understand tells the brief information about digital modeling.
From the last reading I learn the development of the digital modeling techniques. First new techniques developed for known/used to materials. Also both designs and end products are out of known geometry. With the new techniques it gives the ability to study over new materials. First, for the model production the technique defined by the qualities of the material. Later by the development models were define by the technique and proper material chosen related to that. For producing models at the beginning the main application is subtraction from a plane of material or a mass of it but in further ones material directly come out from machine as it was designed. All these changes give the ability to use unknown geometries before that architects were designing with perfect geometry because they are able to produce those geometries. New geometry also effect and improve the structural system of the design too so it becomes more than skin of a building. One step further materials became intelligent, materials that are able to detect acts and react to them. All this technology also gives the ability to produce more with variations in less time.
I am confused that architecture influenced by ships cars and airplanes. The technology and methods of constructions those sectors have are also used by the architects. So architecture doesn’t have unique/self-discovery methods (no car produced by architectural method/production style). This can also be seen in the case of combining something with architecture. Vans are cars which include low house qualities (beds, kitchen…) space station, luxury planes are also have house materials in their self. The thing is everyone embraces all these thing but not seen that there is architecture in them but if I even say people to image an house with wheels or houses that have motors that fly it around, people neither embrace nor image what I say so they will just lough. I believe one of this situations reason is the way they are represented. Architectural part of any design/construction/project never shown in the first place. Also I believe architecture is the very basic part of the life of a person so in the society because of these “used to” condition of the architecture people are not seeing it at the first place and people that are presenting it also not focusing on architecture. Representing the product from different perspectives open up more efficient doors to reach varied societies.

| Kolarevic, Branko. “Digital Morphogenesis.” Architecture in the Digital Age: Design and Manufacturing
Intro
By the arrival of the digitalization not just improve the visualization of the finished design but design itself also adapted in to figuring out what possibilities can be reached by digitalization. There are several norms that we implement in our designs on the other hand digitalization brings us to see forward and actually think out of the box, which leads us to find variations and qualities that provide to our design. We are no longer “generate” from plans, digitalization gives us the power of manufacturing more variations in mass production. Digitalization set us free from the already known forms and provides us the possibility to of “finding form” and examine on them. Working with repetitions and symmetries is the easy parts that is safe and accepted we can produce easily and rapidly, by the digitalization we gain same ability implement same procedures to the variations, produce not singular but multiple.
Typology
A form can be changes by the forces applied on it but its topology did not. Topology is what defines the forms relations, when the force applied on it there can be variations of that relation, same topology different from. Homeomorphism is focus in relations but not geometry. There are two misunderstandings that; typology is not complex curvilinear forms and typologically produced geometries are not “Non- Euclidean”. Both Euclidean and non-Euclidean are under the same geometric universe.
Non-Euclidean
The cylinder, pyramid, cube, prism and sphere are the “primitive” geometries that create the starting point software. For Euclidean geometry there are 5 principles and the 5th principle is the one that cleats the defense of non-Euclidean geometries. 5th principle is through every point there is one and only one line parallel to any other line. Eugenio Beltrami’s ‘curved lines could appear straight, that spherical geometries could seem planer, and that curved space could appear Euclidean’ that also makes me believe that flatness is just one of the conditions of geometry. (What is flat may be curved in other dimension) Typology is defined by the parameters and parameters define a form, when we change the quantities of the parameters (force applied on the form) we define a new from but still the same typology. ‘boxes’ can be ‘blobs’ and blobs can be boxes.
NURBS
Nurbs curves are (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) easily to be controlled and provide numbers of variations by changing its values of “control points”, “weights “and “knots”. Changing the parameters of the curved line gives the multiplicity by changing the number of control point, weights that applied to points, intervals between control points, places of the knots. By digitalization it provides us to design and control all properties for the curved lines, surfaces even masses.
Parametrics
Marcos Novak ‘concerned less with the manipulation of relations, fields, higher dimensions, and eventually the curvature of space itself’. In history designs were shaped by the ability to design what you can produce. By the help of the digitalization we are able to define and control the parameters. Now we are also able to produce not just single form but multiple forms with same typology and achieve curved surfaces.

Organization in a Competitive Environment
This week at Arch623 lesson Ziya İmren talks with us about the architectural competitions. For an architect, one way of keeping on your profession is participation architectural competition. The best an attractive part of the competitions is they provide you the chance of designing your own project without any forces. You get your projects concept, program concerns then you design your own. In business platform you are always employee and you design what your client want, you give your design decisions in the sense of someone else’s request. There are too many factors that made you do out of your free will. An additional benefit of participating on a competition, it gives you the motivation of doing more and more. If you get any kind of award, this creates the feeling of success and gives the passion of keep going on. Also you can choose what project you want to study, in business life you are responsible to do projects that come to you. In this way you can also increase the knowledge and practice of studying varied building types and programs. At the end if your projects gets first place in competitions you both gain financial support but most of all the feeling of self –confident. There are several problematic parts of completion, for international competitions while you are sending your materials there may be technical disabilities and damages may occur while transferring your competition materials. In over the entire lecture he shared his stories about his competition projects. Most impressive part of participating on competitions give you lots of knowledge about the profession even you are not get any degree, you gain lots of priceless values and you enrich yourself.
