> Three main shortest paths which are defined by algorithm are taken as main axis and another elimination process applied for increasing their hierarchy. In the last elimination process courtyard spaces are extracted for creating semi-public spaces between clusters and also increasing the comfort area.
Environmental analysis are performed from macro to micro scale. Selected units are taken as a reference to understand comfort levels of the indoor areas.

> The design studio aims to create an urban planning project for the Flaubert District of the City of Grenoble. “Algorithmic Urban Planning” project is a prototype for discussing th human-computer interaction in terms of urban planning design. It uses multiobjective optimization tools to optimize certain variables and have the best result in terms of computers’ perspective. After gathering the data, it is evaluated from a human perspective and the final result has been created.

Idea is to create a temporary structure as an object of symbol that will bring people together and make the area safe again as before it is.
> The colorful pavillion created from the area itself. Which means, land use is analyzed as a first step and every single oublic place defined as an attraction point and than the “magnetic force” is applied throught out the neighboorhood. Every single line that comes from the heart of the area itself traced the pavillion created a unique structure.
The Colorful Pavilion is created from the “impulses of the city” which are the result of the magnetic forces that are applied according to characteristics of the area.

1.Drive
2.Wind Turbine
3.Landing Platform
Tumbleweed is able to roll away on the surface of the Red Planet with the help of the wind in strong sandstorms and the solar energy that is stored in the stagnant weather.
When the spring steel layer is opened, tumbleweed attaches to the surface. It is able to transforms wind energy to electrical energy thanks to it’s weed structure that captures strong storms.
A sloping landing platform is able to create with the opening of the next inner layer.
> Mars hosts sandstorms that last for weeks that are unpredictable, covering large-scale areas and making it impossible to harvest solar energy so a hybrid space proposal is introduced that benefits from the sun and the wind together. To benefit from the wind, the project is designed to meet the minimum human and research needs of a minimum of 5 people who will conduct research
on Mars with the aim of being at the minimum level of weight. All the furnitures are hidden inside the space between the radiation shield and the supporting columns surrounding the interior, thus providing a spacious living space on minimum conditions. The obstacle in restricting the research area of a built-in space has been overcome by designing a mobile living unit.
Tumbleweed is a “housevehicle” proposal that is designed to be able to withstand all the extreme climatic conditions of the Red Planet.

6.Further Usage
Solar energy is utilized with the opening of layer 4 on the inner surface where photovoltaics are present.
With the help of the drill which is located in the pole of the vehicle, the frozen water layers are reached and the source is obtained.
When the task is completed; pv are dismantled and move out, inflate ETFE membrane, deploy airlocks, print ice, print inner shell.
