Concept Design,  FLUX-HALLBOX: Metaphor of Imaginations in Flux Concept design is the initial stage of the design idea. It does not have a one-to-one relationship with the main design but it is an abstract representation of the idea. In this study, we created a hallbox that represents the theatre space abstractly. We are expected to interpret the metaphor* of imagination in flux referring to one of our own theatrical performance experiences as an audience.  Beginning of the study the box was a black wooden box; however, because of the pandemic and quarantine, I have to complete it from home and turn to use digital tools.  * Metaphor  is a  figurative expression  that refers to something although meaning or mentioning another. I went to "The Nether" at Tatbikat theatre, Ankara. It was about the virtual and the real world. Also, it was questioning what truth is and what wrong is.  It was a very complex play about the charac...

FLYOVER / METADROMOS* Group Members: Begüm Şener, H.Büşra Öztürk Çiğdem neighborhood acts as a buffer zone between green (METU Forest/ Şirindere Valley) of city and urban mass. Our site is placed in the border of Şirindere Valley, inside the Çiğdem neighborhood. In this part of the city, there are no landmarks, so that The Flyover acts like a new landmark for the city. As a promenade , Flyover enriches urban life in terms of greenery (edible gardens/ greenhouses) and experimental uses (butterfly garden/ agriculture workshop and vista points). Flyover metamorphoses to form different public and private uses in the site and shapes the organization of housing units. The housing units contain greenhouses which are shared with different owners and roof street which acts like the wing of Flyover. All these shared uses support the neighborhood idea. In our analysis, We found that because of ...

THE NEIGHBORHOOD of SULUHAN ARKASI STREET Group members: Begüm Şener, Ozan Uysal, H.Büşra Öztürk, M.Enes Balcı, Nima Mahboubi Mamaghani Ulus is one of the most important centers of Ankara. Also, we learned that, in this street, there was a very alive neighborhood before demolished buildings, and we think that a lively neighborhood in Ulus is a very strong social value . Moreover, façades of the buildings have an architectural and educational value since they are made of different materials from different periods. Also, some part of the infill elements become empty which gives us to chance to observe the structural system , too so that we keep the historical façades which are face with the street. And we support them with consolidating the old structural system. By consolidating, we used a timber frame structure. And we reconstruct other façades with the materials which are already using in this area. We think that this is a more suitable way to protect the area. Also, loc...

The CRACK Group members: Begüm Şener, Beyza Uysal, Ebrar Sayın, Furkan Türker, Hatice Büşra Öztürk, Yaşar Alp Kahramanoğlu The program which is given is in Bahçelievler/Ankara. It is a group work that consists of 3+3 people. Also, the scheme is given 6 blocks next to each other and is placed half of the site. Because of the blocks' location, the inner part of the block can not reach sunlight. To solve this problem, firstly we shifted inner blocks so that we can create more façade . Secondly, we create a CRACK inside the blocks and, blocks can get sunlight from inside the crack . Also, this crack creates a shortcut for people who already have on the site. Also, we want to increase the permeability of our project so that we elevated 2 blocks for 1 level and we create 2 porosity lines. Also, these lines create a focus on the green area. In the observation at the site, we realize that in the Bahçelievler area, there are so many commercial spaces on the ground level. This ...

TRANSVALLEY #SL1 Project - Transitional space by the road The site was unknown and the road was a fast road. We are asking to reach 8m height. I want to emphasize the depth of the topography. I want people to see first a terrace which all spaces were fictionalized under. #SL2 Project - Experiential Route  site sections scale:1/200

TRANSVALLEY The given site is in the salt lake. The project consists of 3 phases. In the 1. phase we were asked to design a transitional space by the road. The road isn't a fast road. The 2. phase of the project is designing the experiential route from the road to the lake, and in the last phase of the project, we are asking to design a nature observatory by the lake. Moreover, during the process, we are asking to select some keywords according to our experiences and feelings on the site and use them in our projects. My keywords are hidden, reflection and contrast.  My idea is emphasizing the depth of the site and using the topography levels so I substruct the soil from the road to the lake. and I placed my nodes continuation of my paths. I want to create harmony. When you first enter the site, the first thing you see is the pure beauty of the site. Then my first node takes you inside. While you are continuing, you experience the different levels of the site and the flora....

Assignment In this exercise, you are required to design an architectural intervention for METU Rowing Club in Eymir. This intervention involves both tectonic and topographic articulations , and it should provide open and semi-open spaces and a deck for boarding. These open and semi-open spaces should accommodate various activities, including:            -rowing, exercising, racing, boarding, storing the boards.            -secondary activities related to resting, socializing, watching, etc. Main considerations:            -Your intervention should have a consistent architectural language and construction method.            -The articulation of the topography should be integral to your overall design.            -You should consider the main pedestrian approach(es) to the site.            -...
