Project Year: August 2021, Equivalent Mention

City Room

Urban Cover | Covering the Existing During the design process, the existing texture, changing typologies and their spatial relations with place and people in the part of the city where the building will be located are re-read to reveal a principle that produces Ulus Modern. With the information deciphered from this re-reading, the project area; It has been determined that he produces the old and the new, the domineering-didactic and the accommodating and modest,

8

both on the axis of the city and life. The ability of Ulus Modern to operate this coexistence simultaneously has been investigated. Ulus Modern comes to its location not as a building but to reveal what is always there; it was designed only to be a porch that comes over the existing part of the city and its relations to signify it. It is aimed to transform the city marked by a veil and its daily relations into a stage and this stage to become the structure itself.

The city room is a place where the project and its relationship with the city are crystallized.

This is a place where the natural differences between being in the daily life of the city and being in the cultural center structure are melted and mixed with each other. While establishing the dialogue between the city and the didactic program of the building, the city room is also the triangulation point that organizes and produces all relations.

Map of Cultural Buildings

Urban Cover Diagram In the design process, the existing urban texture scale and the importance of the continuity of public life were also investigated in the proposal project setup. The ground setup of the recommendation cultural center has been stratified on a human scale and has come together under one roof where different user profiles meet/meet. The structure becomes a part of the performance thanks to the layered floor setup.

10

Typology Diagram Han and public buildings in the project area consist of masses that dominate the area, causing access and impermeable wall problems in the city. In the dialogue of cultural buildings with the city, impermeable surfaces and negative spaces can be revealed due to the nature of the building type. The fact that the existing large-spotted programs are organized in the central interior or courtyard perimeter creates a strong and accessible interior life. This fiction also provides utilitarian nourishment from daylight.

11

Machine Structure Diagram The story of the user, who takes an active role in the building or not, makes the building a part of the performance. In this context, it is a critical element that the construction of the cultural center exists there and in the inhabitants of the city living with it. Rather than hierarchically shaped programmatic expansions in conventional cultural centers, a fiction that works more like a city constitutes the main frame of the project.

This fiction is considered as a circulatory system/machine. The system of the structure works like a machine consisting of performance, social extensions and the basic technical circulations that feed them. The spatial setup of the building has been thought in such a way that the viewer and the watched are not separated as both programmatic and experience.

Thanks to transitions/tears/indoor and outdoor setups, large-mass buildings integrate the building into the city by minimizing the access problems created in the city. Anticipating that the mentioned disadvantage may be experienced in the cultural center, as a result of examining the relationship/typology of the large masses around the building with the city, urban spaces/city rooms were created within the proposed cultural center. Together with these gaps/rooms and the opened tears, the relationship of the cultural center with the environment has been strengthened, and urban spaces open to flexible use and fiction have been produced.

eyüpsultan social centers competition

designing soup kitchen and neighborhood house with Rasa Studio Architecture and Design Team: Tuna Han Koç, Zeynep Altınbaşlı, Ezgi Üzümcü, Merve Akbay, Tunga Tüdeş

Project Year: July 2021, Participant This project was an architectural competition project opened to obtain the Soup Kitchen and Neighborhood House structure to be located in the Merkez Mahallesi of Eyüpsultan district, Istanbul.

Formation of Interface and Surface It is adjacent to the project area with a perimeter cemetery, which directly and effortlessly establishes its physical access to the part of the city where it is located. In addition to its direct dialogue with the periphery cemetery, it is also a very powerful element that has the ability to articulate the project area through Kaşgari Sokak and Hüsam Efendi Street to the part of the city it is located in.

18

The fact that the periphery, as a place and space constructor, creates a minor urban space suitable for both the building and the scale of the place, constitutes the basic framework of the proposal project setup. In this context, the existence of the said perimeter is considered as an interface in the reproduction of the area.

The interface is laid out as a three-dimensional surface to meet the movement on the periphery; It is aimed to produce the spatial and urban assemblage at different elevations by adapting to the section produced by the topography. Natural and ready-made material, which is one of the components of the assembly; produced surfaces and natural topography.

Soil and surface as two major components, and the building’s own place in the silhouette through the relationships they establish with each other; It has become a design principle to occupy the space “as if it was always there”.

19

traditional buildings surrounding relationship

selective permeability

proposed structure of hybrid-organic relationship

Two Situations The duality between the atmosphere of the imaginary-actual relationship of the cemetery and the cemetery visit, and the dynamic social and life-oriented program that the building is planned to produce, has been adopted as a design problem. The dialectic created by these two situations is intended to reveal the unique implicit potential of the place and to establish a calm-modest relationship with the cemetery area as an interface, while simultaneously being a social center for the neighborhood.

20

21

Looking at the City from the Roofs Due to its natural condition, the project area has turned its back on the Golden Horn view.

The section produced by the land rising on the Golden Horn and its shores reaches the peak with the cemetery area and then opens to a city view by enclosing the project area in the opposite direction of the slope. The area overlooks the city view from above over the roofs of the buildings. It is aimed to preserve the uniqueness of this situation and

22

to produce the act of watching the city over the roofs as a public space character with the city terraces produced. In addition, urban terraces are designed not only as a viewing point, but also to produce a surface for hybrid actions such as games, playgrounds, summer cinemas, permaculture activities. In the context of the fiction produced, the building produces city terraces facing west.

The transparent façades of the indoor programs of the building are designed by pulling in from the floors on it to reduce the disturbing effect of sunlight and to provide indoor thermal comfort.

gaziantep national project competition

100th anniversary monument and landscaping with Rasa Studio Architecture and Design Team: Tuna Han Koç, Zeynep Altınbaşlı, Ezgi Üzümcü, Merve Akbay, Tunga Tüdeş

Project Year: June 2021, Equivalent Mention

New Memorial Park The new memorial park will leave a very strong spatial and historical trace on the cognitive map of the citizen, which is formed through distance, proximity, intentionality and contact.

It will have a very important place in the minds of the city dwellers, whose resolution increases as it gets closer and takes its power as it gets farther away. Surfaces, which are the only places where meaning can produce, and the integration of these surfaces with the city are

28

the primary goals of the memorial park. Attributing a historical event, such as trying to force a person to wear a small dress, to a single plastic object has been considered as a situation contrary to the nature of matter and memory. The proposed memorial park is designed to create a perception-emotion relationship that coexists with the experience itself.

Instead of a physical object that is simply named and devoid of experience, a monument

29

that creates itself in a close relationship with the urban context is envisioned. Cities designed with a transcendent mind and design habits of the modern era have lost their organic development potential. Gaziantep is one of these cities. Situations such as its historical richness, cultural heritage and being a gastronomic city are tried to be kept alive with artificial and hormonal artificial respiration. The monument, which was designed for the

30

100th anniversary of the liberation, was also considered as an opportunity to increase the life opportunities of the citizens by reviving the realizations of the city in different eras on a heterotopic plane. Thanks to the newly designed memorial park, it is aimed to remove the bonds established with history from the metaphysical memory plane and take on a role that conditions everyday experience in a transcendental position.

31

As shown in the narratives of the war in the Panorama museum, there was a war that was intertwined with daily life in Gaziantep. A monument, which is a part of the daily life of the city and at the same time makes you feel its foreignness, was designed to commemorate a victory that many human actions tried to exist together with the war. Contrary to conventional monument designs, instead of a crystallized and concentrated point of commemoration, a commemoration moment that includes urban activities is imagined. A commemoration event that infects all activities of daily living will have a much stronger and more shocking effect. A fiction that pretends to be there all the time, while being left alone in its context, has been adopted. The effect of the new monument on the plan plane was compared with other traces in the city.

The increase in urbanization plays an important role in the spread of rural areas, which are defined as a backyard from the perspective of a city dweller. The pastoral image created by the untouched natural beauties of the countryside is almost like a picture frame at peace when you look at it. Those who want to spend time in this framework turn their route into rural areas, are signs of permanent or temporary migration.

The presence of water in the topography not only offers us different possibilities and activities which makes people come together (cohesion) but also confronts the fact that water is floods and currents. At a point, architects should need to think about the system that responds to this variety of situations. Water is an indispensable cause of attraction, especially if rural is located on a coastline.

The activities that the water establishes with the user create a countryside where tourism is dominated mostly. Increasing this domination means the increase in hotel structures serving the tourism sector. This creates a threat to the existence of public spaces. Countryside ignores that water is a threat and keep hosts more than the capacity into a single season-oriented. At this point, the countryside should have an infrastructure that responds to the states of water and the density of social gathering.

How can architecture cope with states of water and the density of social gathering that change radically every season in the rural? The mentioned infrastructure should not be considered only in technical terms. If we consider in this context that the non-existent systems in the rural area and the region under the domination of tourism are deprived of places where they can socially come together, what effect does redefining the infrastructure system have on the vision of the future in the rural?

Especially if we consider the existence of water that forms the borders of the rural? The presence of water in the countryside can be a both a threat and an advantage depending on the situation. If we consider the current social associations of the waterfront and the threats that exist in the dynamics of water, is it possible to think of a new social infrastructure spaces at the border and below the waterfront?

Ağva Su Ürünleri Kooperatifi

İSKİ Ağva İleri Biyolojik Atıksu Arıtma Tesisi Capasity 4000 m3 --- 8000 m3 Re-treat flood water

02: STORAGE OF FLOOD WATER AND SOCIAL GATHERING

37

Ağva is a countryside between two streams and the Black Sea coast. The presence of water is an incredible attraction figure for the local and non-locals. Due to its geographical structure, it attracts great attention especially in the summer season. This increase in population causes coordination to break down. The awareness of the current, which is the dangerous face of the sea, is not sufficiently understood by visitors.

38

For these reasons, a recreation area has been designed in the extension of the breakwater, which is considered as the last point of Ağva.

At the same time, considering the future scenarios that may occur due to the floods of the past, it has been taken into consideration that more water is stored in the inner parts of the tree and at the same time, the area allows the spaces to strengthen social cohesion.

Site 01: Breakwater, Recreational Space The approaches of the buildings settled on the creek and sea shore in Ağva were examined and turned into a catalog. The design was shaped by taking this catalog as a reference.

The breakwater side was considered more as a recreation area and was designed accordingly. It was built with architectural spaces that will explore the water by detecting both the entertainment element and the possible currents of the water movement.

Hydraulic water systems were examined and became a part of the structure. Diving into the depths of the water on the vertical structure, offering the opportunity to observe and then rise up again. The issue of re-existence in the water is that the submarine that once sank during the second world war in Ağva was discovered during the project process and its memory was used.

39

Atlas Cards Atlas cards made an important contribution in shaping the project. The combination of some words that encode rural, Ağva and the future has revealed the images behind the words. These images and narrative techniques have enabled architecture to be structured.

40

3P

Three Profiles 3 Profiles aims to bring architect/outsider and local/ insider together by creating hybrid characters with a designer look and local experiences. 3 Profiles is an important tool for the approach involving situations/ times from a distance and imagining new life scenarios, futures and then architectures.

Profiles: Mapping the Narrative Encounters

41

Site 02: Water Towers | Social Cohesion Considering that the flood events that existed in Ağva in the past may host larger floods in the future, the construction in this area has been raised from the ground. Water towers have been integrated into the structure in order to store water in possible future floods and transfer it to the existing advanced biology waste water facility in Ağva.

42

These water towers also work together with the vertical circulation elements of the building. It has been enriched with architectural program proposals that contribute to the infrastructure and can bring together the local people in the local righteous social sense, especially in order to break the introversion of the local people of Ağva, especially in the winter season.

SUNCITY International Velux Award an investigation game for daylight aware future cities Team: Nasibe Nur Dündar, Alperen Temur, Ezgi Üzümcü, Nijat Mahamaliyev Teacher: Mehmet Cem Altun

Project Year: August 2020, Regional Winner of Eastern Europe and the Middle East in the ‘Daylight in Buildings’ category

Suncity is an ‘massively multiplayer online/real-time strategy game’ that is challenging the players with creating cities and architectural forms to access equal daylight for cities against the rapid population growth and urbanisation.

The game experiments the dynamics of planning and architecture to the players and raise awareness about the daylight rights of buildings in the city. Each game is resulting with primitive design proposals of future city scenarios with a unique combination of forms.

What is the aim..?

+ +

+ + +

Build a city with growing population and adequate daylight usage.

Use carve and substract tool to distribute daylight.

The city is a mutualist way of life. Each building has the right to receive sufficient light and protects the right of other buildings daylight accessibility. The buildings keep the general interest of the city in their own interest. Game of daylight to build a city with a growing population and adequate daylight usage. Use build and carve tool to distribute daylight throughout the city. If current trends continue, the global population will peak at 11 billion in

46

Bring daylight to the facades and to the ground.

2100. City population will increase more than rural areas. By 2050, it is projected that more than two-thirds of the world will live in urban areas. Migration from rural to urban and the population growth causing to dense and rapid urbanisation. Apart from illegal settlements, regulations of planning and zoning law do not contain adequate regulations of daylight access. Access to the sunlight is crucial to have passive heating of buildings in winter and

improve comfort conditions of people in the buildings, streets and open spaces. However cumulative structuring creates narrow streets, high buildings with fewer public spaces and the problem of the unequal living standards and access to sunlight.

Healthier societies and living spaces require equal and adequate daylight access for each living and artificial things. In an equitable society, freedom of an individual ends where it impedes on the freedom of others.

Game Universe The game the universe contains a globe and a star with earth and sun features and relationships. The globe contains 32 cities with different locations and geographical features.

Each city is available for 5 players at the same time. Players can quit and involve the game through empty slots while the cities are constantly evolving to get adequate daylight usage for the specific requirements and constantly given challenges of each city.

Each city has 400 square blocks (20x20) to be build to populate the required number of people while creating adequate park/public spaces and roads to access to each building blocks. Each block contains 25 units (5x5) and each unit populates a person. The game allows generating urban rules consistent with the climate context and needs of shading and sunlight for a given region. Sun/daylight is the main concern of the form-finding process in

the game. Players are challenged with optimization of the required daylight access for each building and the city as a whole. With the help of sun diagram panel in the interface of the game, players can always check the areas that are in the solar field or shadow. The solar diagram shows the player the daily and yearly sun path for the specific city

47

How to Play?

After joining a city in the globe, players can start shaping the city to create equal daylight access throughout the city with the build and carving tools from the game set. Each tool involves different units to use. Build tool has different building blocks with different daylight accessibility rates.

Carve tool involves blocks such as parks, roads or supporting scaffold to create empty areas and gaps between building blocks and allow daylight to pass through.

48

Players can build or carve with three different impact areas of 1 block, 9 blocks(3x3) and 25 blocks(5x5). Different ranges allows the player to build in city planning scale and also architectural scale. In the edges of the cities, there are 3 block space offsets that are under the control of the cities that is intersected. These common blocks can be built with the negotiation of the players of both cities through the chatbox.

49

Open Exhibition The game creates outcomes of the involving cities throughout the process to create an open exhibition of city patterns and architectural forms built by the players. Visitors or players can join the form-finding investigation exhibition of the daylight.

Rules and Challenges 1. The main rule and the main challenge is to create adequate daylight usage in each bock in the city. City-specific sunlight requirements should be considered to create the optimization in the daylight accessibility.

2. Players should populate the required and growing number of people in the city. If substracted a habitable block, the player should build it somewhere else instead.

3. Players should build the required number of parking blocks.

These parks can be places on the ground or on the building blocks.

4. Each site is specified with different landscapes and dynamics to challenge the players that would either create gaps to allows the daylight to come easier or create blockages.

5. Players should negotiate with the intersecting cities for the common blocks and define an arterial road in the city to be connected to the intersecting cities’ arterial roads.

Concept Dialogue is a system proposal to strengthen the communication of Bakırköy Municipality with its people. Thanks to the public structure constructed under the Republic Square, it is a place proposal designed to enable the public to organize events that will strengthen the communication of people from the administration and to strengthen the artist identity of Bakırköy from the past. In addition, the old containers were re-evaluated and

54

reconstructed to meet the various needs of the people. These units are designed to follow the urban circulation and spaces throughout the entire area, and to be located in areas where the circulation in the city is lighter, to serve specific uses for the needs of the space and the users. In these flexible spaces, the public will have the right to produce together, develop their decision-making experiences, and have a say for their environment.

The individual re-adopts the environment he lives in and develops a sense of belonging to the space on which he can have a say. Living in its own shell behind closed doors, playing in fenced playgrounds and trying to keep the dialogue constantly instead of using the street at certain times brings with it a strong city image.

DIALOGUE Pedestrianized Streets and Urban Design Competition streets are two doors away from living rooms and the corridors of the city, it is the closest and most belonging public space we have...

Team: Burak Arifoğlu, Özge Taşpınar, Nasibe Nur Dündar, Ezgi Üzümcü

Project Year: June 2020, First Prize

The street is the commonplace of the city dwellers. It is the fundamental public space of the city, where both people who have a door opening to the street and the people passing through it have equal rights of use. When the solid mass boundaries of the built environment break and begin to offer opportunities for different users, the city itself begins to live with the people in it. When the citizen can have a say on the life of the city in this living city, he adopts his place.

64

Streets are two doors away from living rooms and the corridors of the city. It is the closest and most belonging public space we have. Cities are places where people interact as social beings. Even though the man was the creator of this space, over time he fell under the domination of the space he established and lost the hierarchy war they entered with the solid masses they built, the machines he designed, and the tools. Over time, he lost his environmental awareness.

His dialogue with his environment weakened. In other words, space has a directing effect on human actions. Cities established by man, could not respond to the complex structure of the human being. While the individual can easily adapt to the changing conditions and produce new dialogues against the new conditions caused by the change, the built environment does not have this flexibility. However, the individual reestablishes his authority over the space by personalizing the space.

The built environment should be able to meet existing and possible human needs. The city should be able to reorganize itself at the end of the change. In cities that are equipped with flexible structures, the borders established with the buildings become permeable, a new interface between the individual and the city is formed. The city comes to life and begins to live with its residents.

Design Person-space interaction provides primary control and continuity of public spaces. Flexible structures should be built to ensure the continuity of use of the space and to prevent the use of public spaces from being interrupted.

As long as space does not meet the needs of the individual, it will be reconstructed and undergo a construction process. This will cause both time and financial losses, as well as restricting the use of public space by the individual during the construction period. It interrupts the dialogue.

With “Dialogue”, it is aimed that the spaces, which are designed to strengthen and maintain the communication, can always respond to the changing needs of the individual. Considering beyond a specific list of needs, functionally uncertain space with the realm of possibility and system suggestions are presented. It is aimed for the users to direct and change the space in line with their needs.

While creating flexible spaces, the need for privacy of the residents of the street was taken into consideration, but it

was aimed to remove the street from the use of a certain group and serve the whole city. Acun Street, which acts as a spine between Tiritoğlu Park and Meydan Park, and the streets which it connects are aimed to ensure the continuity of this green line This connection aimed to strengthen the communication with the built environment, nature and other people. The green spine running on the street shows fragmentation according to the ground floor usage functions.

The spine breaks down at the entrances of the shops operating in commercial, service and similar functions and apartments for circulation and service to function. Fragments define the entrances. In the potential areas of the street, the spine expands and forms secondary squares by breaks down completely. The part of the spine preserved on the street is shaped and located according to the functions of the building. In addition to the existing structures of the street with the green areas designed along the street, the buildings and the street are connected with grass stones in order to ensure the visual continuity of the green and the continuity of circulation.

The street cannot be considered spatially with its ground alone. In order to ensure the visual integrity of the street, to increase the readability of the urban space and to support the street functions; an interface with a width of 50 cm is designed in front of the facade. Two rows of movable wooden structures can be used for various functions such as a table, seat, hanging unit, shelf. This movable and actively changeable structure, which clings to the facades of the shops, has the flexibility to meet the different needs of different shop owners. While serving the shop owners during the day, it also meets the needs of other users of the street.

70

This system breaks the sharp boundary between private and public spaces for streets and creates a porous structure. Thus, the occupation of the street by the shop owners is prevented and a democratic usage program is created. Dialogue between street users improves. The flexible structure easily adapts to changing user needs during the day and in the distant future. The street furniture set up along the street allows the renewal of the street setting due to its easy installation and combination details that work with different structures. These structures, built with box profiles, wooden laths and awnings, respond to the needs

of the city by transforming into more advanced furniture in the focal points and potential spaces.

It undertakes different functions such as street markets and promotional stands, open stages, revolving amphitheatre, play structures, exhibition areas. These types of furniture provide opportunities for the celebrations and events of the city. The street turns into a festival area by hosting various programs in its potential venues. Furniture placed along the street creates integrity as a network of repetitions. It turns the street into a continuous area of experience with exploration areas that disrupt this holistic language.

The rhythm in the lining of repetitions and exploration areas has been designed in a way that does not hinder the life of the street residents. Items of Furniture feed daily life practices. Direction signs, exhibition areas and billboards set up along the street strengthen the relationship of the street with other areas of the city. This set allows the management and navigation of the in-street experience. Signs and panels can be installed and removed. They are allowing for replacement.

This street is aimed to be the new focal point of Uşak. It has been considered to be a space design that is not only street residents but also all city dwellers will adopt and develop a sense of belonging. With the potential programs it hosts, it is aimed to host special days and events of the city and create a strong Uşak image. The design aims to nurture and revitalize the social life of the city of Uşak.

It is aimed that the design will contribute to the economic development of businesses located along the street and support the promotion of development projects of the city with various stands, panels and exhibitions.

THERMAL EXHIBITION PAVILLION Piranesi Prix de Rome Competition Accademia Adrianea di Architettura e Archeologia Onlus architectural design project for archaeological heritage sites Team: Beatrice Egidi, Gabriele Lenti, Nasibe Nur Dündar, Ricardo Mazzeo, Ezgi Üzümcü, Zihao Zhang

Project Year: September 2019, Piranesi First (Fiaba) Prize Rome, Italy

Villa Adriana is one of the most extraordinary archeological realities in the world. A Unesco World Heritage Site since 1999, it is a high point in the cultural offerings present on Italian soil. Coming down to us with its monumental consistency still very present and visible, the Villa designed by the Emperor Hadrian has been an object of study, of visitation, and of admiration for at least a halfmillennium. Its architecture is a unique example in the ancient world and, since its edification, has exhibited a skeleton that is typically Roman associated with a totally new, if not revolutionary, spirit which in any case is far from that of the mos maiorum. Much architectural and archeological literature has been dedicated to these issues, so as to constitute, in the sea of “adrianology”, one of the most substantial chapters.

76

The creation of a landscape arrangement, to be realized in the so-called Unesco Buffer Zone between the fence of the archaeological site and the Aniene River, aimed at regenerating the original sense of the places that gave life to the idea of Hadrian’s palace. But also to regenerate the spectacle of water captured in architecture and archeology as well as, in time, of the architecture subjected to the unbridled dynamic of water as a natural aspect.

The Buffer Zone Design: Masterplan

77

The Thermal - Exhibition Pavillion: the design approach Villa Adriana, the polar compositional technique was used very rarely and always in relation to sacred architectural complexes: the Acropolis of Athens, the Altis of Olympia, the Sanctuary of Isis at Phylae in Egypt and the Acropolis of Pergamum. All sacred places and all “Hadrian” places. An aspect, this, which of course cannot be considered casual.

The design was shaped by continuing the polar composition technique.

78

The creation of a thermal-exhibition Pavillion (Bath-Museum) following and in relation to the experience of bath architecture in Rome where architecture and water coexist and share the objective of a resolution of an extraordinary architectural image.

79

80

Our design experiment was, therefore, be concentrated on two elements that make up the image of Villa Adriana: Architecture and water understood in a close relation of complementarity, which not only originated some key architectural episodes of the villa but which is at the heart of the choice of the site on which it is constructed, in addition to the positioning syntax of its pavilions.

The Thermal - Exhibition Pavillion: Roof Plan The relation between architecture and water is, therefore, still again after its originating act, the archeological and natural landscape of the Villa, structuring new elements of the architecture conceived essentially in their relation to water. Both with the mnemonic places of the Grande Villa Adriana, where water is generative.

83

In the field of graphic design and cultural brand communication, another branch of design, logotype and mockup products were designed to refer to the Unesco Archaeological Site named Villa Adriana.

INFRA-E-BIKE SYSTEM #IMAGINING Infrastructure for a better future Competition

in collabration with KooZA/rch and MAUA to rethink the infrastructure of the future city Individual Project

Project Year: January 2021, Winning Submission

88

Imagining infrastructure for a better future open call developed in collabration with MAUA Tech to rethink the infrastructure of the future city. MAUA challenged participants to envision the infrastructure of the city of the future and the role that sustainable mobility tools as e-bikes will play within this. From the pedestrianization of entire areas, to green streets and shared electric mobility that MAUA company invited contributors to create one image which encapsulated the ambitions of MAUA as a brand which advocates for the improvement of our cities via beautiful hardware and intelligent software. This submission image had the aim to demonstrate empower the individual and

core of human values of respect, kidness, and human grift. With this image, a design structure was built on the idea of integrating the entire infrastructure into a phone application. Thanks to this phone application, the determination of bicycle parks and bicycle repair areas on the city is also located in the units where the energy produced by the bicycle is directly proportional to the distance and speed of the bicycle. A setup was thought in which the stored energy was transferred to both urban lighting and the electrical system of residential buildings of certain scales. These meeting units will provide an infrastructure that will foster social and dialogue.

RİVA BEACH CLUB Construction Project

Prof. Dr. Mehmet Cem Altun, Res. Assist. Sühan Artuğ Istanbul Technical University Department of Architecture Fall 2019 Riva, İstanbul

Riva Beach Club project is located in Şile, North of Turkey. This structure has designed on a idea of assembly and disassembly. Capacity of this beach club is approxiametly five hundred people. The building which is located right behind, it is mainly use for administration and storage for the components of beach club structures. In winter all the components has disassembly by man hand and carry to the storage. So the beach club structure just

92

exist 3 month during summer times. For the material mostly wood structure was choosen for the beach side to have the sense of nature.

The administration side material is concrete and has tired to make like it is one part of the mountain.

93

External Envelope System Section Stainless steel mesh facade prefered through out the design process. It provides more sunlights in and also a transparency for the administrative building which is entegrated with the mountain. The lenght of the mesh facade can be auto-calibrated with the help of stainless steel roller shutter system. For the cladding, fibrecement were chosen. The texture and color of fibrecement is also compatible with the texture of the mountain.
