The following selected projects have been choosen to show the range of studies, ideas and conceptual explorations archived my professional life and during the completion of my Education of Architecture with the Kadir Has University.

Project have been collated in chronological order.

Hi, I’m Burak ArifoÄ&#x;lu, I graduated from Kadir Has University as a honors degree with GPA of 3,40 / 4,00.

Before going to this discipline I observed the work of carpenters and engineers in the family. I realized I could draw and think in 3D. Later, I decided to develop in the architecture. Career in architecture is invaluable to me.

In the university period , I worked on projects that are in different scales , contexts , concepts and programmes. I enjoy working on the solution of design and architectural detail with the influence of education and my own perspective.I am ofteninspired by the lines of nature, sociological thinking to motivate me in design. With numbers of workshops I worked with the team of artwork and art installations and participated some competitions to be a part of the competitive area of the architectural world.

To prepare myself for the professional life , i spent my time in construction site and office internships. In addition, I worked with different disciplines to improve my architectural perspective.These include; Architectural short film, poster design, booklet design.

<cross section of campus and current situation>, 1.1.

The proposed structure is located at the intersection of the ITU campus and the existing residential fabric. The building works both as an extension of the campus and becomes part of the texture. It is located in the direction of Süleyman Seba Avenue as an extension of the street silhouette. Thus, it plays a binding role among all the walls with which it relates. <main axles - positioning on the marks of the campus>, 1.2.

The axis of the campus extending from the entrance of Maçka Street to İTÜ Education Foundation Facilities is accepted as an important backbone that the suggestion building will relate to.

Recreative green axle that cuts it upright and continues to provide a continuous open area to Süleyman Seba Street. The intersection of these two axes constitutes the square of the building in the direction of the campus.

The building is thought to be fed from 3 alternative entrances.

Controlled entrances will be made primarily from Süleyman Seba Street and secondly from the neighborhood that touches the existing housing texture. <building and street relationship>, 1.3.

03

The proposed structure is shaped as an extension of the existing building trail. In the part of the building that relates to the campus, there is a mass designed for students’ use. This main mass breaks where it relates to the street, keeping its alignment. Thus, the building works as part of both the campus and the street.

<the combination of masses>, 2.1.

The proposed building is retracted from the historical Karakolhane building as much as the green axis on the campus. The main spine keeps track of the construction on the campus, they are connected to each other with a gap between this spine and amplifiers.

The spine, which creates flexible areas for students, unites with the office structure parallel to the street. Offices leak into this flexible spine on some floors. <main axles - axle intersection>, 2.2.

At the intersection of the campus and street axes, the main square of the building is formed. In order to create a wide flat area in the open area of this square and the building, there are ramps and amphitheater stairs at the intersection of the square and its intersection. Thus, the center of the settlement contacts the surrounding buildings through circulation objects. The part of this axis corresponding to the structure also ends with an open amp. <squares relating to the peripheral>, 2.3.

The proposed structure establishes a relationship with the campus through a main square. Capillary voids leaking through all structures flow into the front square of the building. An open area is also established with the street and road outside the campus.

05

The conference hall square created at the base level meets the dense texture with a gap.

<students and academicians compare venue - main spine >, 3.1.

The main spine is designed as a meeting place for students using amplifiers and academicians using offices. It is aimed to produce a flexible space that will allow students who use amphitheater and classrooms to live in the building all day. Flexible areas in this mass are potential spaces for students and academicians to work, rest and socialize together. <position of the main spine by the street - office mass>, 3.2.

The main spine, which is positioned as the extension of the trace of the linear structure on the campus, changes its position when it comes to SĂźleyman Seba Avenue and settles in the parallel of the street. The office mass is added to the existing silhouette, being the extension of the workplace and office masses that continue along the street. This break produces a square in the direction of the neighborhood, with trees to be protected between amplifiers and offices. <mass articulation, green area - terraces and links>, 3.3.

07

A continuous green line is being created with trees to be protected between the historical Karakolhane building and the suggestion building. This line also turns into an open space where the ground floor of the mass relates completely. As you go up to the upper floors of the building, terraces leading to this space are formed.

// floor plan 1.floor(+4.00) plan

The circulation areas connecting the historical building, amplifiers and office areas both turn into the flexible areas of the mass they touch, while undertaking the function of circulation. These areas become independent of the functions in closed masses and become a social space on their own.

Open stairs are added to the foyer of the amphitheater. In this way, the amp section can create its own internal circulation, separate from the general circulation load.

All spaces outside the closed units turn into open-plan areas without corridor.

// floor plan 2.floor(+8.00) plan

There is a gallery space between the amplifiers and the main spine that goes along the structure.This area, which is illuminated by taking daylight from the roof, works as an extension of both the amplifiers and the student social areas. Intricate extensions leaking into the space are arranged as work niches and resting areas. Thus, internal life has been completely interrelated independently of the outer walls.

The foyers and stairs of the amplifiers open to this area. Likewise, the social areas of students and academicians in the main spine feed this section. The space in the middle of the linear structure is designed as an element that combines all uses.

// exterior view Silhouette of Suleyman Seba Street

The limiting walls in the historical Karakolhane building are opened and a second wall with columns is created in the circulation area. Classrooms and lecture halls proposed in the building were withdrawn from the existing circulation area and a second cross section was created. In this way, the circulation areas expand to a secondary area and work like a foyer area with arcades.

This retreat and the expansion of the circulation area in the historical building ensures that the open space construct in the proposed structure continues in this structure as well. Thus, the two masses are connected not only by the bridge, but also by the fluid use of the circulation areas.

Refugee and the human migration it causes is one of the most unresolved global problems. The number of refugees that grew in the 20th century and then increased, leads to a serious migration and human movement around the world. According to UNHCR reports, 71.4 million people, effected from several issues such as wars, natural disasters, etc.; left their home countries to live elsewhere, at the beginning of 2018. This displacement movement that emerged due to compulsory reasons; it leads to population growth in some countries and causes some needs to arise.

Although states see these needs only as a lack of settlements; this should be perceived not only as a lack of space, but also as a problem of homelessness for people who have lost belongings.

Turkey receive thousands of war victims immigration from Syria due to the ongoing internal war since 2011. Many of these people are trying to survive under difficult conditions, within certain areas drawn by the authorities. We think that architectural design should intercede here. Today, instead of the compressed and isolated camps that are applied to create more space; our priority should be to create spaces where they can create feelings of belonging, construct their own lives and increase their interaction with the space and environment and to create spaces which will create living conditions according to people’s needs. In order to create this sense of belonging, it is necessary to define areas for individuals or communities that they can organize according to themselves and create their own lives. These areas will provide social sustainability and create a living environment that keeps people’s communication with each other tight.

The system established in the existing camps is established in higher density by without giving public space to people . To breake this density, social gaps can be created with organizing the layout of structures at certain levels. These gaps define the areas where refugees can socialize with each other.

These gaps can become social areas that can form like neighborhood tissue. Gaps including housing units; increases the communication and the sense of belonging among people with the relation of housing units with itself.

The Borderless project seeks answer to the question: Should the areas reserved for refugees be made up of fixed spaces and areas with determined places or can they create their own lifestyles as they wish by making changes? Can this create feelings of belonging?

17

Homelessness is the biggest problem of these people who have lost their sense of belonging. In this project, we aimed to design areas in the campsite to help people to survive the difficult situation they had been through and create their own living standards during their stay. Instead of giving these people areas that are drawn out by authorities, a design that enables people to create their own spaces comes to the fore.

These gaps may include social units in terms of improving social sustainability. Larger squares can be formed if these gaps, which can serve as neighborhoods, contain common use units. Areas can be created where people can live their own culture.

<working principle of the system>.

19

We recommend a communal system for the camp site. Humans are involved in interrelated phases. So people in this system play an important role in both production and consumption. People are in a cycle that produces their own needs and consumes what they produce. At the same time, there is an order in which their production can interact with the outside world and ensure social sustainability.

If we talk about the phases, they are systematic axisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to increase the interaction between the refugees. In defined areas established at the center of the proposed settlement, there is a social area where production is provided. The outermost axis has a bazaar area and a welcome area. What we aim here is to increase the sense of belonging by creating neighborhood culture that will emerge by working together phases.

<site and boundary relatıon>.

The gaps formed inside the system are fed from the outer spaces of the area. Outer axis’ extends through the center.

Gaps that we designed in the center is receded through the center at some points to link the system with facades of the site.

This connects all axis’ in the site, creates welcoming spaces and ensures social sustainability by creating relation between refugees with locals.

For the entrance, the northern facade where the city axis’ are concentrated is preferred. In order to form a relation with the Reyhanlı and it’s locals; a bazaar area was created parallel to the direction of the road on the western facade. <social area relation>.

<circulation>.

Social units are placed in the social gaps in center to ensure social sustainability. They located in the center where the human density is at high level, will increase their interaction with each other to reveal the neighborhood culture which will also ensure the sense of belonging.

The main circulation line is designed considering the mass articulation. This circulation line continues uninterruptedly through the housing axis. It also provides a capillary transition between the housing axis and the social axis. In addition, there is a free circulation network in camp that are shaped by human movement.

<sustainability>. <modularity>.

In the system based on sustainability and modularity, the needs are produced and stored in units. Each unit generates its own electricity with the solar panels installed on the roofs. The common water tank installed in the area provides clean water to the whole area; units have clean and dirty water tanks. Rain water can also be collected with the help of gutters, attached to the roofs of the units.

The needs of the system are produced and provided in the workshops, education units, nutrition units, greenhouse and hencoop in social areas. This production chain of the system not only provides employment opportunities for the refugees but also enables the system to be self-sufficient and socially sustainable.

<Burak ArÄąfoglu | portfolio 2020>.

The units can be easily obtained and produced and the materials are suitable for workmanship. All units are designed to be easily installed and dismantled to be modular so that this system can be installed in any desired location. Units that people can self-build and then build; consists of a wooden platform mounted on the floor, movable (can be fixable) wooden columns attached to it, and then wooden panels or awnings attached to the columns.

Solar energy is stored through the solar panels on the roofs of each unit and each unit can generate its own electricity without having any infrastructure.

The housing units are adjustable in different sizes, allowing people to make indoor arrangements. Planting and plant production can be done on the request of the user, in the spaces allocated to the unit, that are not closed and included in interior.

The water tanks in the units meet the water needs of the units. At the same time, rain water can be transferred and used in one of the tanks through the gutter attached to the roof.

// exterior view the construction phase <laying out the floor>, 1.1.

By placing the 5cm x15cm sized massive pine woods into each other, we build the floors of each unit in frames. After the ground frame is formed, we place the panels through junktions on the massive pine woods. The floor is formed after screwing the panels.

<raising the gable>, 1.2.

Wheels are mounted underneath the 10cmx10cm massive pine wood columns to move them on glazing barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A frame is formed with a 5cmx10cm pine wood beam attached to the pine wood columns that mounted on wheels. .

<placing the frame>, 1.3.

After the frame is formed, we insert and slide our frame into the space of the glazing bar on the floor. 5cmx10cm trussâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that are attached with bolts to the columns make the system slidable and foldable.

<applying the cladding>, 1.4.

Panels are attached to the gaps on the surface of the columns with the joining apparatus on it and then panels are locked. Users can close the facades completely or leave them open as required.

The facades facing the social area can be covered with plexi or plywood according to the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes and the units can be differentiated from each other.

Frames that are not covered with wooden panels can be covered with a tarpaulin or tent to cover. The use units can be seperated into summer and winter.

The housing units can be installed in different sizes according to the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes. Each unit is designed to accommodate minimum 2 and maximum 12 people. People living in housing units can arrange their front gardens in their own way so that the sense of belonging of the refugees living there can be created. The units supply their own water and electricity needs from within. Housing units includes a toilet, storage space and a small kitchen unit.

<nutrition unit>, 2.2.

Common nutrition units were built within the system. In this way, it is ensured that the refugees are not separated from each other.

The food are made by the inhabitants int his system. Social sustainability are provided by creating commune works and spaces for refugees with these units. Workshop unitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; facades can be open as it is in nutrition unit to provide a communial working area within the units and landscape. <bazaar unit>, 2.3.

<greenhouse>, 2.4.

The bazaar unit working with the workshops, the greenhouse and the hencoop in the inner band; is designed to both increase the interaction with the environment and create a source of income for the people living there. Refugees are able to create communication with the locals and to sell the products they produce in workshops, greenhouses and animal units.

This is another of the things that make the system sustainable.

It meets the nutritional needs of the system and increases social sustainability. In order to get more light during the day and to increase the surface, we used the vertically rising hydroponic system in the greenhouse which was established in the direction of east-west, so that it will be more efficiency.

// interior view life in housing unit and relation to social area

The Borderless projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposal has a system where people live together and can meet their needs by producing; without being dependent on the outside. Refugees; arriving from the border, receive information about the system and layout of it, from the information unit in the welcoming area.

After they are checked in the health unit, they enter the camp area. Wood workshop, sewing workshop, greenhouse, nutrition unit, hencoop, housing units, bazaar units and social center in the site are designed to provide social sustainability and production continuity. The materials used in the houses are produced in the wood workshop and can be stored in the warehouse for to use when needed.

27

In the sewing workshop, people can produce according to their needs. Vegetables and fruits are produced in the greenhouse.

Animals are raised in the hencoop.

Thus, the food needs of the system are met. The products produced in the greenhouse and poultry farming in the hencoop meet the nutritional needs of the system. In order to strengthen relations with local people, the products produced in the units are exhibited or sold at the bazaar units.

The social center is a square created to increase the sense of belonging of refugees by forming a neighborhood texture. The gaps created by some withdrawings towards the center can work with the functions that are planned to be designed around the site, and can be evaluated as social activity areas and workshop areas.

Historical environments include valuable structures that were defined as “new” in the past and today are defined as “old”. These structures bring together all the social, cultural, economic and technological data of the period they belong to.

It helps us to understand the conditions of the period of historical buildings, and helps us evaluate them together with modern buildings that meet today’s needs. In this respect, new buildings to be built in historical environments should be designed to represent the architecture of the day and to meet the requirements of the user.

35

In this study, the main purpose is to investigate new buildings in the historical environment and to analyze how they can be used today and how they can be combined with modern buildings.

The Dynamo

// model connection to landscape

The Dynamo projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposal has a system where people live together and can meet their needs by producing; without being dependent on the outside. Refugees; arriving from the border, receive information about the system and layout of it, from the information unit in the welcoming area.

After they are checked in the health unit, they enter the camp area. Wood workshop, sewing workshop, greenhouse, nutrition unit, hencoop, housing units, bazaar units and social center in the site are designed to provide social sustainability and production continuity. The materials used in the houses are produced in the wood workshop and can be stored in the warehouse for to use when needed.

37

In the sewing workshop, people can produce according to their needs. Vegetables and fruits are produced in the greenhouse.

Animals are raised in the hencoop.

Thus, the food needs of the system are met. The products produced in the greenhouse and poultry farming in the hencoop meet the nutritional needs of the system. In order to strengthen relations with local people, the products produced in the units are exhibited or sold at the bazaar units.

The social center is a square created to increase the sense of belonging of refugees by forming a neighborhood texture. The gaps created by some withdrawings towards the center can work with the functions that are planned to be designed around the site, and can be evaluated as social activity areas and workshop areas.

In 1992, Edward Said wrote that the ever-increasing scale of displacement in the world marked the 20th Century as “the age of the refugee, the displaced person, mass migration”.

Since then, there has been an even more unprecedented increase in the number of migrants, refugees, asylum-seekers, and internally displaced persons worldwide.

We see this as an increasing problem of homelessness, not defined only by lack of shelter or space, but also by a lack of belonging to a place. We believe that architectural design should be able to offer solutions for people who find themselves, voluntarily or involuntarily, in such a condition.

How can these people create their own lives without being restricted by states, authorities, institutions, or established sociocultural norms of thinking and behaving. How can they transcend the borders that they are faced with?

Can the borders of countries be interpreted again to provide a space where people can create their own lives and establish their own belonging?

According to the UNHCR reports, by the beginning of 2018, 71.4 million individuals left their places to live elsewhere. This number included those who were forcibly displaced due to war, famine, natural disasters, political conflicts, violence, or human rights violations, as well as returnees and stateless persons. If this were the population of a country, it would be the 20th largest in the world.

43

The cross section between the borders of a country, without the need for any physical or abstract lines, obtains its own footprint with all the geography’s data (river, stream, hill, vegetation etc.).

The only measure to be adhered here is that this cross-section is not wide enough to form a state, nor does it exist in a space that is too narrow to accommodate vital activities.

The BORDERLAND project aims to dissolve and expand the imaginary borders defined by countries and establish a life in this expanded area. In this ‘cross-section’, the project predicts a life organization for displaced people to allow them to establish their own hospitality and domesticity and changing their roles from guest to host, without feeling under the responsibility of any state authority or having to live under the daily-life rules imposed by any formal organisation.

The low footprint from vertical architecture allows the remaining areas to be left into green space and agricultural activities. Thus, the established social life creates both a self-sufficient mechanism and paves the way for the most efficient use of the ground. In the proposed structure the living units settle to the periphery of the structure and leave a service area and a social space for everyone in the core.

The living units located in the periphery are made of materials (OSB, Aluminum Sheet, Timber, Wool) which can be obtained easily and are suitable for the craftsmanship. Small (S) units have been modularly manufactured and packaged for immediate human evacuation, in order to quickly eliminate the need for shelter. In case of need, the backbone of the unit is placed on the existing structure floor. Then the surfaces are coated with panels and made ready to accommodate up to four people. <variations>.

The units that are expandable and open to interaction are considered as an organism in which the people they host can reflect their belonging. People adopt places where they can make their own decisions more easily. Therefore, the addition of the space according to its own understanding and approach to the existing S structure enables them to reach dimensions such as M, L, XL in size and allows them to reflect their differences with the place they have established.

<extension of the city center and uninterrupted green space>, 1.1.

Settlement area is limited by two different hierarchies. Pınarhisar Asphalt is the main artery that connects to the city center of Lüleburgaz.

The proposal building allows for the organization of an uninterrupted green area in the direction of Lüleburgaz Creek and military area by holding onto the Pınarhisar Asphalt where the vehicles are actively used.

Thus, the building works as a continuation of the fast road and the Lüleburgaz city center, which is developing as an industrial zone.

The green area between the proposed building and the military area is organized as an urban park. <mass articulation - green area transformation>, 1.2.

The linear structure is fragmented according to the schedule and shaped so that each function fits into one mass.

<organization of general entrance and park arrival>, 1.3.

Partial mass sizes are arranged according to the usage needs. The hierarchy of the masses also transforms the city park’s structure and intersection. The mass swells to use the center of the area, and it is damped as it goes to the edges.

The main access to the park is provided by Tatarköy road, which is a second degree road. The entrance axle and mass of the building are fed both ways.Thus, the structure acts as a permeable cross section between the road and the park. Along the Tatarköy road, access to the city park is provided from anywhere. Visitors coming from Pınarhisar Asphalt can experience the building and switch to the park.

51

While holding the building road, the green area extends continuously towards the stream.

<linear structure at the intersection of park and road>, 2.1.

The proposed structure is located at the intersection of PÄąnarhisar Asphalt and city park. The structure is single storey. In this way, it can consist of spaces that flow into each other without the need for vertical circulation elements (stairs, elevators).

It is suitable for disabled use. Since the building does not produce spaces under the ground, it also requires excavation. Therefore, it envisages a low cost production. <according to usage; mass fragmentation >, 2.2.

The structure is disintegrated so that each function becomes a mass. These masses cross each other and form the total space.

The connection of each component of the building using the same ground allows it to be experienced as a recreative open space.

Building experience consists of sequences. <height differentiation units opening to the park>, 2.3.

53

The heights of the masses differ according to their function. The bottom of the mass rising from the ground turns into a permeable glass surface, allowing the structure to integrate with the park.

Openable glass surfaces spread the activity inside the gem and invite the park into the building. Thus, the structure works as part of the recreative area.

To the right of the entrance mass, it continues with the vestibule and the hall of honor connected with the cafe. While the cafe merges with the ceremony area outside, it opens to the temporary exhibition space in its linear flow.

The last masses intertwined in 3 parts are permanent exhibition spaces. The library is located to the left of the entrance.

<green space strategy>, 3.1.

The existing natural texture is vertical and the wooded structure is preserved. The suggestion is green character is â&#x20AC;&#x153;horizontalâ&#x20AC;?.

This horizontal proposal will be included in the design as a bottom texture.

Restoration of the existing lower tissue is recommended. The areas entering the circulation zone are intervened to a minimum. These interventions are thought to be designed by defining them with permeable free structural material. In the function area, leaving the lower tissue in a meadow character is part of the fiction.

The recommended vertical green is the eastern border of the area highlighted and closed by a single tree (Betula verrucosa - Birch). <green space - circulation scheme>, 3.2.

Intra-park transportation and circulation system is not guiding but determining. The destination objectives are varied and the paths to the destination are also alternative. The busiest intersection ceremony area of the transportation system is actually the plane embedded in the existing tissue. The plane is the threshold opening to nature with topography and water on the wall.

55

The permeable masses of the building open to the park and invite them into the park.

<parking space - building>, 3.3.

The park invites the building to nature. Nature accompanies the structure and joins with cross sections, providing access to open spaces. The green pockets that make access possible are located in rhythmic order within the boundaries of the building. The ceremonial area jointed to the building, the open exhibition space and the entrance road suggest a binding cross section between the park and the building.

An activist action begins on the coastline of Beyoglu-Karakoy.

Civils realize their rights and impacts on the urban living areas and stand up for their dream city. |public, free, co work, coexistence, cooperation|.

The coastline of Karakoy-Dolmabahce was re-developed.

A dynamic route was set along the coast line. On this route, Public structures were proposed.

<the gate - principles>.

I discussed the structure on two basic functions.

Conservatory is a new cultural setting for music, events, cultural life and city life.The main idea has been to create a dynamic, flexible and open public space that welcomes all users and allows for various and diverse events an urban arena where culture, creativity and city life can unfold.The project is designed based on existing institutions and activities in the area and has been developed, in order to create a successful and active public space.

I propose to elevate the social space in one connected Social void covering a large public Conservatory above connecting all the public, social and functional parts of the center in a generous public space.

61

The proposed social space is a GATE to Istanbul.

Step one: A space where the ground floor can be shaped completely according to public functions.

Step two: The mass of the structure where the function is located, which can work in a permeable manner with the public space.

The framed perspective is a spine that surrounds the social void.

These frameworks that make up the skeletal system of the building expand and make the public space inviting.This area expanding in plan and section constitutes the common social void of the functions settled on the axis.

utopian city, create a new atmosphere, communal vision. a new atmosphere, area; new earth.

<Burak Arıfoglu | portfolio 2020>.

Academic work ; 2017.

What is an atmosphere? Is it just ‘a layer of gases surrounding the planet’[1] or is it something we perceive with all senses, something that affects us emotionally? Is it the light, the air, the mood, the ambience, the aura, the climate, the environment, the ecosystem, the culture, the history or bodily state of being? It is the sum of all; both something that we spatially, bodily feel and socially and conceptually comprehend.

During the Industrial Revolution (in the late 18 th century and early-mid 19 th century) urban atmospheres turned into gray, dark, dirty, smoggy landscapes of factories and warehouses.

Industrial cities, such as Manchester, were dense cores where thousands of laborers worked for more than 12 hours a day and dwelled in unhealthy conditions. Those cities were on the brink of collapse. In the late 19th century, socialist utopians, such as R. Owen (New Harmony), C. Fourier (Phalanstere), T. Garnier (Citte Industrielle), began developing urban planning models to mitigate the consequences of the industrial age, by providing citizens, especially laborers, with healthier environments.

73

Furthermore, those urban atmospheres were planned with a communalist vision arranging working hours, equalizing public and civil rights, proposing spare times for socializing. Those were not just urban plans, but imaginations for a better modern life and for the ideal industrial society. Following them, other theorists and planners dreamed about hygienic cities beautified and relaxed with wide green lands.

Initiated the Garden City movement. In the beginning of the 20th century, the ideas of modernism began to surface in urban planning. The modernist architects, such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright presented their modernist visions suggesting simple, pure, functionalist atmospheres…

How can we imagine a new vision for an urban atmosphere in today’s global network while everything exists in a super-fast transition and mobility?

<proposal>.

‘ACUPUNCTURE CITY’ is a city-scaled project aiming to revive and support community in built environment that is harmed and to design a new atmosphere where the revitalized community live.

The new communal vision and orientation supports co-living, copruduction and co-consumption and shapes the mixed functions and living atmosphere which is appropriate for co-city to reform communal bonds and communal order which is lost after war.

As an utopian city project , ACUPUNCTURE CITY is a masterplan project to design and create an utopian city after the conditions of World War III and the post-apocaliptic world era. The city has three parts which are city center , social zone and productive zone.The city center’s most vital characteristic is working as a machine to meet the city’s all needs with it’s mechanism.

Also , the regenerated topography is exhibited to the dwellers to work as a public yard and designed landscape. Also , two main housing blocks meet the living space needs of local people and workers(students , researches , scientists ect.) .Folks circulate in public layers which are standing on lots of strong columns and layers that located in different levels.

The vital decision of the settlement of the housing blocks at the city center , is thinking the housing blocks as a city walls which are sourrounding the city center from the the borders. This idea icomes from the inspritation that is related with the medieval cities.

Medival cities have border walls and when the walls enlarged The city center contaions two main advanced circulation cores.

Although , the main core(left) meets the circulation needs of functions which are specialized for science and research , it connects the public layers of the city. Secondary core(right) is working as a helper to the main core. Although , it works as a circulation system between public areas and layers , it works between main headquarters based on specialized main transportation station.

A new social lifestyle is based on communication and production. So , it affects the function that the housing units have. Housing units are purified from some functions and consist of only the resting and vital needs of users.

Three stories housing layers are connected to each other with the main circulation core. This core consists of circulation elements(stairs , elevators ect.) and infrastructure pipes. Elevators stop every three layer and open ‘the circulation layer’.Then , to reach the upper and lower layers , users can prefer the stairs.

Thus , an economy of circulation spaces can be obtained. As a spatial orientation , living units are located one part of the layer and open to the public areas of the modules.

Academic work ; selected for exhibition [Mimed project competition], 2017.

Bomonti surrounds different lifestyles ( neighboorhood, textile factories and residences).There is no interaction between these styles so a unifying interaction area was suggested. The concept of ‘HALK EVI’(Community House) that existed in our culture was analyzed in order to create a meeting and socializing place for people from Bomonti that have diverse daily routines .

85

The design process is based on the integration of green spaces and enclosed areas creating a dynamic, breathing, porous urban space. A library inside the historical Razor Factory,, sculpture and painting studios, cinema, market area, stage, and open public spaces designed within this urban void loosens the density of Bomonti and brings history and community sense back into life.

// exterior view from landscape to building

Two different blocks were created. The block inwhich the library is located is quiet and insulated while the workshop block is more interactive and dynamic.

Library and the working and meting area works collectively. The cafe underneath works with the landscape while serving for the working and meting area.

89

In order to build a sound barrier in between those two different atmospheres a linear, wireframe linking structure is built. The communal working area provides well-lit, semi-open terraces towards the landscape on diferent levels.

Transition between structure and landscape was designed continously while the level difference provides a direct transition into the building through the rising amphi.

The sloping ground provides a vista towards the stage and the landscape. The circulation axis coming from the landscape enters the building.The circulation axis connects the structure, amphi, stage and market area between Birahane Street and Ferikoy Firin Street.

<data collection & visulation for healthy urban environments, İstanbul case study>.

// machine

This workshop will focus on designing, building and operating data sensing tools in order to collect data on urban conditions such as temperature, light, humidity, air pollution, noise and other key parameters. From this group of data detailed 2D and 3D maps and plans will be generated and designed by students. These findings will provide the first of open source data on Istanbul’s environment produced by non-governmental agencies. Students will be part of both data collection, analysis and most importantly findings and results of this process. <concept/framework>.

The access to environmental data and analysis of the underlying dynamics is a threshold of “smart design” strategies intended to optimise standards of living within many different urban contexts.

Specifically students will organise the collection and analysis of this data using open source technologies. <coding/prototyping>.

Participants in the workshop will design, build and operate data sensing tools in order to collect data on urban conditions such as temperature, light, humidity, air pollution, noise and other key parameters by Arduino Boards and sensors. <data collection>.

Students will collect data from a part of Istanbul by using their own “Urban Sensing Machine”. From these findings we will provide the first of open source data on Istanbul’s environment produced by non-governmental agencies. <data visulation>.

93

Our task is to make this data and the subsequent analytic documents such as maps and information diagrams accessible to a wider public.

From this group of datasets detailed 2d and 3d maps and plans will be generated and designed by students in order to understand invisible layers of Istanbul.

// analysis temperature, humidity and

air quality data(s)

Healthy Transportation project aims to collect temperature, humidity and air quality data(s) in public transportation spots around Golden Horn and exract some informations to compare diverse transportation options such as bus, tramway, ferry or subway to mention healthy transportation stations.

The data(s) are collected by sensors which are run by the Arduino board. Collected data is turned into an Excel file and transferred to the Grasshopper script to create data visualizations. Diverse visualization representations are used to examine the relationship between temperature and humidity and the air quality (PM). Based on temperature and humidity, air quality changes are observed with the superposing technic.

95

After all examination period, collected data(s) are turned into graphics which provide ‘’informations’’ through differences and comparisons between diverse transportation spots.

Academic work ; 2017.

// model material research

In this project, rather than the traditional functions outside the administration, it is constructed on the spaces created by the memory of the material.This project, which is designed on the elemental space, is shaped by the dimensions and behaviors of the spaces.

The area is a slope that reaches the sea on a sloping slope surrounded by cliffs. The fact that it is a sloping terrain is advantageous in terms of design.

As a first impression, how the site should be located in relation to the tectonic state of the site was provided by cross-sectional and perspective investigations.

Along with the slope of the land, the intersections of the roads connected to the site were investigated. Investigation of the positive void created by the research lines was done.

The connections between these areas, and the connections that make up the surfaces, were investigated.

97

The organic structure of the product prepared with chemical materials was investigated. At the same time, the experiment of differentiation of light and shadow spaces with material was done.

Far Far away from The Earth...

People live inward of the borders and prohibition in the World.

Because of this, the atmosphere is getting darker day by day.

// detail tensile

Uncharted Space is a group that investigates structural geometry researches and material memory, together with the body interaction and its integration with the space in which it is located.

101

During the process, we constructed and built various constructions, focusing on space coverage and clearance, with ‘lightweight’ and ‘tensile’ materials. Instead of pre-designed forms, we have created spaces that are dominated by geometries that pass through long openings, gained by muscle interaction and body interaction.

We developed a metadology where the design was completed during the construction process, the use of ordinary industrial materials was reversed, geometry and form were correlated with each other. By constructing the DNA of our installations on the basis of these ideas, we provide a continuity in our approach.

// interior view from campus

In this workshop, an art installation was studied with group of students by directors Ali Onat Türker and Onur Eker at Kadir Has university A gate entrance.

The aim was to redefine the entrance as an exhibition and insallation space to build permanent structure.To build the structure, existing roof structure and iron beams was used as a template and fabricated metal elements were attached to these beams with the metal grippers.

103

After that, tension ropes were hanged and strecthed between rings that are located endpoint of the fabricated metal elements.

Gap between boundry ropes, were filled with short tension ropes by using triangulation method. The triangular forms were designed as pieces of curvilinear surface that is suspended with tension rope map from the roof. The enclose the surface, different color of plexiglass triangles edges were drilled and tied with plastic ties.

// view the construction phase

In this workshop, before making an installation on the upper scale to apply to various exhibitions and biennials, structure was built for experimenting with materials.

A methodology was developed in which the use of ordinary industrial materials (ROPE, TAPE, FOIL) was reversed, and geometry and form were correlated with each other. Uncharted spaces of different sizes and skins were created.These spaces are similar to spider webs, consisting of surfaces shaped by the movement of the user.

105

This installation was worked with small models in Terrace Workshop. After, built in Kadir Has University B block.
