CARNALL HALL

The project area is located in one of the most popular square in Istanbul.Today the building in the project area is serious problem for users. Unusable structure interrupts pedestrian flow. I suggested a music and exhibition venue instead of the structure. The new building offers viewing points for the galata tower. it also creates a new axis for pedestrians with its permeability.

In order to better understand the region, I walked not only to the Galata square but also to the other three squares that it established relations with. I studied pedestrian intensifies. I took 2, 3 and 5 minute walks to create the human circle diagram. In doing so, my first aim was to examine the effect of the slope in the terrain and its surroundings on human movement.

At the same time, I designed to construct my approach to slope but also I have provided a lot of data about human intensity thanks to my human circle. I examined the slope and density as factors affecting the speed of walking.

I saw the effect of the gradient on the density. In this way, I edited the inputs of the construction and withdrew the structure for the square that the area needed. combining the most intense main front entrance with the exhibition area, I made it work together with the square. So instead of the old building that was invisible, I provided an alternative space for people. Based on my human circle diagram, I have structured the structure by taking long references. So I made reference to the continuous movement in the region and created more surfaces that people could touch.

SOCIAL HOUSING

In order to properly engage with a larger urban area and an issue as crucial as housing, I will carry out extensive research on the urban context, urban forms, relevant precedents and the notion dwelling. Project site is a 10 hectare medium density housing area in Çanakkale, Sosyal Konutlar Mevkii. Developed through the 1980s, it lies on the eastern edge of the centre and runs between two dominant east‐west  lines of the urban macroform, Sarı Çay on the south and Piri Reis Street on the north. Despite what its  name suggests, the buildings are in fact not social housing in the proper sense of the term. In any case, since it is developed as a whole through a repetition of  similar units, building blocks, and open spaces it forms a very recognizable urban fabric, distinct from  the parcel‐sized apartment blocks dominat in the rest of the city center. Thus, a healthy dose of densification of  the already urbanized area could potentially ease the pressure on the urban agricultural belt.

MINI-CENTER

Short - term project. We have designed a student center in our campus where we spend most of our time. The center is located between much preferred pedestrian path and unused pedestrian path. Therefore, I have provided an alternative transition betwe- en two pedestrian paths. Thanks to this, the cafes behind the building and the restaurant in front of it have become social area. New building removed the bad impression of the existing building.

There are150 seat auditorium, a library, café, workspaces, a book shop and    an office space in Student Center.

Experiment: will my stage manager notice that I changed the font of the entire rehearsal calendar without telling him?
