CONNECTING COMMUNITIES 

FINAL JURY-23/05/2016

In my final project  i decided  to organize my closed spaces as clusters  between semi open and open spaces . I used mainly large hard surface semi closed areas to solve student clubs problems. I thought my  closed spaces as some  prıvate areas  ın a publıc area mainly dominated by semi open an open spaces.I used tensıle structure as they are the most proper   structural system to provide large and high semi closed spaces.My tensıle structures take references from each other ın their curves. Also they take references from landscape itself and  landscape elements such as brook and trees . In the organızation of  semi closed spaces ı used  central square as a regulator and there is a main paved road to that square from the front of Çarşı opening.

CONNECTING COMMUNITIES

TENSILE TRYINGS

                 As in my prelimnary jury  i had been criticized about my ternsile structures , I trıed a lot on tensile structure.

( As my tensiles were broken by my teachers , for  critiques I  couldnt took  the photo of  original forms )

In my first  attempt, i tried to connect all tensile structures to create a continuıty. However , this resulted in isolation of closed and open spaces. 

In my second attempt,  as i had a failure  in connecting   tensiles , i tried  distributing all closed spaces around  tensiles. Nonetheless. in this  tıme , it was critisized as tensiles has no reference to each other

 IN MY FINAL PROJECT I DECIDED TO MY ORGANIZATION  BY USING THESE FEEDBACK.

                              CONNECTING COMMUNITIES - FINAL PROJECT 

                          PRELIMNARY JURY -28/04/16

In  our fınal assignment  we were asked to create an area with closed , semi closed, and open spaces which will be used by  unıversity clubs and students . The actual area which we are assigned is the green area and  tennis court's area between KKM and Çarşı. We should think that area as an empty space except the natural components like brook and tree. In my prelimnary jury model i thought that using tensile structure with   closed spaces  can provide enough spaces to clubs . I  wanted to create two major paths leading people to  stage / amphitheatre . 

Problems of my Model:

1-using curvilinear lines in the topography without any reference. 

2- Using  arbıtrarily shaped closed spaces to fit them ınto topography. 

3- ısolating my closed spaces from semiclosed spaces

4- ısolating  semi closed also from each other

5-My  tensile structures were small in terms of dimensions and their language was not appropriate for  land .
