ARCH102 Final Jury Connecting Communities

      

In this jury, Connecting Communities, we defined spaces for the METU social clubs and for the people who are in the campus. These spaces consist of closed, semi-closed and open spaces. First of all, i want to create two axes for the area. When these two axes are intersecting, there is an open space. There are four clusters connecting to these two axes and this open space. There is an other cluster for the clubs' performances and orientations for the public. That's why its place is in the most crowded part of the area and in between the two axes. Other clusters relate to axes, main open space and with each other by semi-closed spaces. However, the other cluster relate to others and axes by its place.

ARCH102 Preliminary Jury

In this exercise, i just want to define a main axis and around this axis there are closed and semi-closed spaces. Closed spaces connect to open spaces through the semi-closed spaces. There are five main closed spaces for social clubs activities, and five closed spaces for the social clubs' orientations and presenting themselves for the campus.

ARCH102 Exercise 5-Jury

In this exercise-jury, I want to create a topography with a circulation. This topograhy is used by people accprding to different purposes. From bottom to the main space, I give a direction for people by creating nature stairs. While I was doing this, I want to create subspaces in that direction. In the main area, there are different ways which are going to different directions. I used two of the directions to reach the top of the highest hill. In the middle high of this hill, I defined a space for eating and sitting, watching the view.

ARCH102 Exercise 4

In this exercise, I want to create a space for an exhibition. This exhibition consists of six paintings of Monet. I used the folded plate structure type. There are six walls for the six paintings and they are covered with a folded plate at the top.

ARCH102 Exercise 3

In this exercise, me and my groupmates try to create a truss system in our design. Then we cover the truss by plaster. We did this because this covered truss system has a same structural system with the bird beak from nature. In the bird beak there is a keratin and it refers to plaster in our design. In addition, the truss system refers to bones with spaces.

ARCH102 Exercise 2

In this exercise, I want to create a space for a baby who cannot walk. There should be no sharp corners. In addition to this, there should be a smooth and continuous space for the baby to crawl. There are borders to define space more successfully and they give direction to baby when she/he is crawling.

ARCH102 Exercise 1

In this exercise, we made a hanging mobile which includes three main colors and three cubes. Each cube is made by same material but they have different sizes. There is a rule about connecting these groups together. There are three groups, each of them consist of a cube and three main colors. Each of this group connects to other group from the same part of it. There is a difference in sizes because of making the mobile more balanced.
