Outside of the World P1 Speculative Landscape

completing ph o with drawing

It started with a world full of water and seeds which sprout with time.

The plants absorb water as they grow and they store water in themselves, with the plants absorbing water the water level gets lower and lower; the plants roots cover the landscape and give shape to it according to the living plant number there.

Research on Stone P3 + E reme Storage

writing on stone storage Storage is piling up things to use them when we are in need of them, this is a kind of waiting time for the things we stored. As we are storing something, we have to store it according to the way we want to use it; for example we store apple juice in the fridge if we want to drink it fresh but if we want to use it as an apple cider than we have to store it in a warm room and lengthen the waiting time.

In the waiting time these things we store may change or not, and the conditions of the storing place such as temperature, lighting, humidity and wind does effect the change in the stuff we store.

I made some research on the stones of Taşkale and learned that it is a special stone. The stone in Taşkale has important properties and not found in every geographical area this stone is able to endure humidity more than any stone, it has an ability to fix the temperature between 13-17 C and ıt is a long lasting, sturdy stone. The stone’s name is clayey limestone and in Taşkale there are three different ways of how this stone stored. I thought this stone should be understood better with more researches, and to make this possible some experiments should be done in the areas of temperature, lighting, humidity/water and wind. According to the outcomes of these experiments, architects or interior designers would use this stone with the knowledge of the effects it will cause inside or outside of the building. I wanted to design a stone related workshop place where with every product that people do would be an experiment and we would be seing the results of it; so it would be a both workshop and a kind of catalog on how can you use this clayey limestone.

This is a section showing that people are using naturally stored stones as elevator; stones stored with mortar to build clean and neat building like bridges, fountains and house walls; stones stored by piling to build barns and retaining walls.

usage of stone Stone storage may sound different but everybody does have stones in their houses in the use of different ways. Stones can be used: ◈ as a health supporter; Both verbal and written history confirm the Chinese used heated stones more than 2,000 years ago as a means of improving the function of internal organs. Stones were also used for healing work in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Egypt and India.

These traditions included laying stones in patterns on the body, carrying or wearing stones for health and protection, using stones for the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and for ceremonial uses, such as sweat lodges and medicine wheels. ◈

in food grinding, cooking, preserving,

in tools, weapons

◈

as a water conservative

◈

as a communicating gear

◈ in building Much of what remains of ancient Egypt consists of stone.

There are building stones for temples, pyramids, and tombs; ornamental stones for vessels, sarcophagi, shrines, stelae, statues, and other sculptures; gemstones for jewelry; and utilitarian stones for tools, weapons, pigments, and other applications. Still other stones were processed to extract their precious metals.

According to my researches piled stones keep to water in thin air and produce a little amount of drinkable water, in Crimea Zibold did this but they removed it after ages.

1/100 model

I realized that stone has a strong bond with water, light, temperature and wind and I chose water to work with stone there for thought that a stone hamam could be a good way to store both stone and water.

Diagram keeping stone related things in a one place such as stone carving, small stone quarry and hamam. This diagram is showing what happens in where.
