Social Housing: University Lodgement

“A dwelling that is given to employees of an organization or workplace for free or for a small rent.”

Innovative lodging for Yıldız Technical University employees, offering free or affordable housing within a vibrant community. The area is not only a residence but also a settlement and lifestyle.This multi-faceted project incorporates diverse typologies to accommodate various family sizes and lifestyles. With a focus on flexibility, the space caters to both short and long-term needs, featuring a range of functions and well-designed social spaces. Additionally, the ground floor integrates commercial units, enhancing connectivity to the commercial axis.

Not just a shelter, but a settlement - a way of life:

Preserving existed old trees and green areas. Orientation with the daylight and wind. Creating relations with the streets and pattern. Locating public circulation and social activities in the commercial axis on the east and south sides.

The residential units within the settlement are designed as: units for long term use (1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom - %80) and units for short term use (guest house; 1 bedroom, hotel room - %20). Some are dublex-floor. 2% of the total housing units are designed according to the space standards required for disabled people.The design has been developed in compliance with fire and parking regulations.

Tomtom Kırmızı (Tomtom Red)

Re-use / Restoration - Preservation

Tomtom Kırmızı is a historical building that is located in an overlapped and multicultural region of Istanbul: PERA, on the corner of one of the thoroughfares where foreigners and Turkish people have lived together since the Ottoman Empire. The building, which has a magnificent facade and a surprise courtyard, where you can travel from the past to the present, used to function as a French orphanage and has a unique color of red tone.

Restorating and re-functioning the building, which has a place in history and it turning into a space where it can culturally experience PERA and return to the past. Since the street, it is located on, hosts various activities related to art and fashion, it turns into a living museum that can also support similar functions. The most attractive space of the building is turned from a waste space in the middle of it into a transparent atrium surrounded by glass bricks. The abandoned courtyard was restorated with the glass additions that enliven the facade and the functional varieties of the basement.

A Better Place For Women In a Masculine City

from fragmented identities to collective autonomy

This research project explores the identity of women in masculine cities, and how they can achieve their authenticities despite having fragmented identities imposed by gender-based oppression. The study investigates strategies for empowering women with fragmented identities to achieve collective autonomy, and how a designed place can contribute to creating an empowering environment for women in a masculine city. The research draws from artistic works and personal experiences, with a specific focus on Ankara, Turkey, as a masculine city with limited opportunities for women to pursue their authenticities. The concept of “collective autonomy” is introduced as a new theoretical framework, for achieving women’s autonomy and strengthening the interaction between women and ecology. The research findings suggest that empowering women with fragmented identities and creating an inclusive space for everyone is essential for achieving collective autonomy of women.

Wine Institude

IN THE CONTEXT OF CULTURE AND SPACE

As a memory space, the Wine Institute Design aims to contribute to the reproducing cultuaral memory and it’s winery identity through future visitors. The institute units play a big role in regaining Murefte to winemaking and its former identity through a wide range of mixed functions such as training areas, wine tasting venues, winemaking practice space, wineries club, conference hall, wine museum, library and temporary accommodation. Thus, this project examines the wine institude design as a social memory space.

Mürefte is a neighborhood of Tekirdağ Şarköy district, which has hosted colonies from different cultures in the past. Since the Ottoman era, it’s one of the leading places in winemaking culture in Turkey. However, due to problems such as earthquake, loss of migration and exchange, Mürefte started to lose it’s own identity and many cultural memories with winemaking.

The design of the wine institute to be built in the bazaar area from the focus center of the city is important in terms of its spetial relationship with cultural - collective memory and wine history. In this institute, which aims to adopt and absorb wine, the value given to wine, specialization on wine and the special relationship of Mürefte with wine, common places are also designed to serve the cultural identity and the user of the city. The layout and texture of the project has not been broken from the context, and has been turned into a design in which the materials used maintain the locality of the region.
