It has been a very though semester indeed. Taking studio courses online was very different experience where you are locked down with kids and family in between four walls. It’s not the same without breathing the air of the studio, observing, interacting and discussing the process with your peers. I came to know that Architecture […]
Last week I have presented my revised plans for the second pre jury. This semester we have not really focused on posters, at least I was not. My priority was to finish the plans and drawings before the due dates. Things have been very hectic and crazy since we are all locked down with kids and […]
I just had my 2nd pre jury but that will be on another entry. Now, for the first time since I started this blog, I wanted to share a photo of me while watching other peer’s juries online miserably while my boys were doing their own architectural attempts under my supervision 🙂 This is basically […]
Today I had my first pre jury online via Zoom. It was interesting experience. It’s so ironic that I usually prepare notecards and sometimes I read from those cards in front of the Jury which is unpleasant thing. This time I’m only facing the cam and rest is not visible, but I just spoke about […]
For my fish market project, I have two structures on my site, West wing and East wing which are separated from each other has vast space in between and that’s where I located my fish market area. I’m now in search of ways to design a sun protection to cover the top of this market […]
In my previous entry I shared an abstract representation of program elements and placed them according to their function and relations. However, those cubic or rectangular shapes can be deceiving and may unconsciously direct you to geometric forms that you don’t really think of for your design at the first place. In addition, those forms […]
We have started to work on some plans and sections for our fish market project. I wanted to design a structure with a linear form where it goes double height in some areas. At least that’s what I have imagined but before that we need to work on the architectural program. Assigned program contains 600 […]
We were divided into groups before we travel to Cesme Pier for the site excursion. I was in the “Physical Information” group. We supposed to document and analyze the building heights, vegetation, access roads, topographic values and etc. According to our observations, I produced the following maps but after the studio critics I better realized […]
At the beginning of the semester we had given a 3D model of a structure with its measures and within the studio hours we were ought to draw a plan along with a cross section. There were 4-5 main conventional drawing principles we need to consider to complete this task successfully. Unfortunately, I had some […]
We will have a site visit very soon but before we get to Urla pier, we have to conduct some research. We will be having a limited time there, therefore, in order to use our time efficiently we need to get familiarized with the local surrounding. We will design a fish market near by the […]
