azerzoo zoological park project covers an area of 55 ha outside of gobu, a region of baku. the proj-ect fulfills the requirements of zoo design always refering to the 4 goals of the existence of zoos: re-search, education, recreation and conservation.

the project follows the habitat concept in the mas-terplan and scatters them in the sequential order how they exist in nature. animal species are cho-sen critically so that they can live comfortably in baku climate. the main habitat sections are: polar zone, africa zone, australia zone, north america zone, south america biodome (which houses ani-mals that cannot live outside in baku conditions) and eurasia zone. eurasia zone is further divided into wetland, woods and grassland, mountain, wet-montaine, desert habitats. zoological park also consists a biodiversity center for research and education, an aquarium, animal hospital, staff housing and a hotel facility overlook-ing the whole park.

the design is a multidiciplinary process which re-ceives constant feedback from veterinarians, zo-ologists and engineers and put out on paper by simultaneously working architects and landscape architects.

Contemporary opera houses require flexible space. Multidiciplinary works, and integration of different art branches renders a static opera house redun-dant. For different experiences and better integra-tion of arts, the scenario of the opera house is cen-tered around open, semi open and closed spaces along with many vista and interaction points that would stimulate new encounters.

The key words of the design are: dynamism, dura-bility, transformability, functionality, sustainability and aesthetics.

The structure is composed of distinct yet fluid masses; ground base, halls, artist units and mana-gerial units.

The project tries to be a part of the city as a meet-ing point. It opens itself generously to outside and lets citizens flow inside through its cracks and openings.

Designed together with the urban park in front of it, the site welcomes visitors from the sea as well as the pedestrians walking by.

Being in nowhere, the proposal tries to define a grammar on mosque design process rather than putting out a final product in an imaginary context.

Baldachin is taken as a primary reference to mosque design. How the constituents of mosque are attached to baldachin form are examined. The elements of a mosque is abstracted from their con-ventional contexts and united with the abstract form of a simple cube.

For its abstract appereance and symbolic meaning, cube is undergone a series of processes to become a mosque again of desired spatial requirements and rules.

The elements which makes the cube a mosque again are: façades of the structure, minaret, min-aret stairs, entrance portal, skydome, roof struc-tures, mihrab wall, minber, muezzin mahfili, ablu-tion fountain, late comers’ porch and position in the site.

The cube, then, is deformed to house the above-mentioned elements again.

The Archi-Roll cnc machine allows for the ultimate “flat pack” fabrication and delivery of complex frame structures. The roll as the core concept, uti-lizes the maximum available space for packaging of semi-flexible materials. The Archi-Roll design team begins with a “blank” roll of material. This roll is inserted into the ma-chine input roll section, where it awaits coding. The machine utilizes motor number 1 to pull out the material at lengths specified by the G-Code. Motors number 2 and 3 of the cnc machine posi-tion a hot pipe at a specific coordinate in the “x” and “z” directions. The hot pipe allows the machine to puncture holes where members of the structure meet. This system also allows for the machine to engrave the material where each structural mem-ber begins. The engraving will allow the assem-bly team to tear at these specified linear regions. The hot pipe device also allows for unique coding systems to be implemented for different structure types. This flexibility is important, as the assembly of such complex structures can become extremely complicated without a custom made coding sys-tem for identifying the joint connections. Once all of the information has been coded, the roll can be dismounted and prepared for shipment. An IKEA-like manual is utilized for easy assembly.

the class aims to show the process of how a simple machine works by building one. the general terms were introduced at the very beginning and the ma-chine is developed with the help of the instructor.

The aim of the project is to raise social awareness about energy consumption in domestic environ-ment though physical space. The main idea of vi-sualization and monitoring is to put it in such a way that it cannot be ignored to such an extent that is almost disturbing. It should be unavoidable un-less consumption is reduced. Yet, the decision of reducing consumption is left to the habitants of the house. The machine does not take any action in order to reduce it. The main difference between the gadgets in the market and the machine is that it transforms information collected from energy consuming devices into visual medium so that con-sumption is more graspable. What it also does dif-ferent than the others is to use the energy consum-ing devices themselves in this visualisation.

Energy consumption in the house is divided into three according to the sources that are used; WATER, GAS, ELECTRICITY. Each constructs its own network of movement of laser in each room. The device can be part of more than one network ac-cording to the type of energy used in that device.A network is composed of one machine and de-vices that consume same type of energy.

The Scalar Fractal Shelving Table was inspired by Madelon Vriesendorp’s doll collection as seen at the Venice Biennale as well as several other current exhibitions. The doll collection ranges from large scale to tiny. The SFST project attempts to remodel the case where these multi scalar dolls may sit. The script(s) specifically intend on creating an premedi-tated version of the SFST, while at the same time preserving the flexibility in order to create endless variations depending on user preferences. The logic behind a fractal branching structure was carried through to the construction logic. Bound wires create thick, structural members which begin to split into smaller groups as the fractal rises and scales. This material system reflects how the script itself was constructed as a splitting, copying, and scaling device. The user interface allows users to pick specific ar-eas of the SFST and isolate their shelving condition. Someone with a doll collection that is mostly on the minute scale, might choose many divisions to cre-ate more, smaller shelves, whereas someone with larger dolls would opt for less, larger shelves. The isolated region of the SFST also affects the shelv-ing outcome. Higher regions along the z axis will by nature yield smaller surface areas for shelves, as the fractal has split and scaled down several times.

Aim of the assignment is to get acquintant with la-ser cutting fabrication methods. the class is divided into groups of two and three people each building a certain part of the pipe. the end points of each groups’ pipe was given as a constraint so that they could be attached together as an assembly as seen in the picture.

As a group of three people, our assignment was to build a pipe where we could attach a lamp.

The pipe seeks to use the cross section ribs to both provide different levels of transparency and reflect the light by means of bouncing it when assembled into the composite structure of the class.

The sections start perfectly perpendicular to the x-plane at the bulb part, but rotate radially at the body to accomplish the above mentioned effect.

The assignment aims to familiarize students with 3d printing techniques and how to treat models af-ter printing for curing process. Building a cad model that can be printed (sealed on all sides) is another crucial aim of the course.

It is asked to print a case for crayons which would hold 4 crayons inside in total.

The group decided to put two of those crayons in-side the case and the other two protruding from inside to outside.

The assignment aims to model a formwork for a tile in rhino and simulate the milling process in rhino cam. The formwork is then milled and a tile is cast using this formwork.

The exercise was about the creation of a 30 by 30 centimeters foam tile to be casted 4 or 6 times, to elaborate a different combinations of possible de-signs. The tiles needed to be designed with a sur-faces and engravings always taking in account its 30 x 30 cm edges. As for the project, the work started by designing the engravings in a square, divided in each side by six points. By connecting the points in a non regular way, it recreated irregular polygons, that once you rotate the tile, it generates different shapes. This option makes the edge dissolve, focus-ing the attention in the lines. The other procedure done in the design stage was the surface of the tile. Once again it was settled a few points in the edges of the top surface, for continuity reasons, and then, played with the points creating a topography of soft curves. Finally, the previously horizontal lines were projected on the surface.

Instructions

1. Create a CAD design for the engravings of the square. 2. Create in Rhino a box, with 30 cm x 30 cm and 10 cm high. ( Locate both the Rhino and the Rhi-noCam axis on the superior corner, x=0, y=0, z=0). 3. Create in Rhino a Surface, so that it later could be used as the milled shape for the tile. 4. Expand the edges of the surface 20 mm, so that the milling machine so that it won’t leave any edges without being milled. 5. Import the CAD file, and project the lines, and connect its lines in order that the machine creates a trajectory out of this connections. 6. Project the lines into the surface. Open the Rhino Cam Pluggin, and assign a tool to the milling project. ( In this case, it was used a 12 mm ball mill tool). For the shape, it was used the Parallel Mill-ing, using the created surface. For the engraving, it was used Engraving, selecting tregions.

7. Generate the process, recreating what the machine would do, and revise it’s possibilities for thickness, angle of the Parallel Milling and profun-dity.8. Post the processes, in order to be read by the machine. 9. Mill the Tile.

Casting Process

1. After the milling process, spread latex on the surface. 2. Create a cast with the desired height for the tile thickness. 3. Pour the material in to foam mold. (In this case, Rapid Cement) 15 Minutes later, extract the bor-ders of the castfoam from the material.

The aim of the project is to reuse shipping containers to propose low-cost and quick solutions for city centers.

Every year, many contianers are left decommissioned in the docks due to the fact that carrying unloaded containers is more expensive than abandoning them. Project uses these containers to provide solutions keeping in mind that Barcelona is a port city where access to these abandoned containers is easier.

Oppose to well-known container projects, the proposal aims not to use the container structure as it is but the dismentle and use what comes out as the structural members to provide more freedom in terms of design.

To achieve this goal, a container is examined for its structural parts and potentially useful parts are extracted. Those parts are arranged in a parametric model prepared in grasshop-per that is the guide for the new construction.

Reef Park of Barcelona is a project initiated in 2002 by the municipality of Barcelona to con-serve biodiversity under water.Concrete blocks were sunken to provide a habit-able environment for the species whose environ-ment was altered by human activities.The ecological activity around these concrete vessels were monitored for research and better understanding of colonization process.

These concrete blocks were concentrated in 5 dif-ferent locations, of which only 1 of them is visit-able.

Aim of the my project was to bring the findings of these artificial reef to surface and raise public awareness.

I studied the coastline of Barcelona in detail to map the human activity to find suitable location for catalyst containers and suitable activity that they can carry.

the goal of the research studio was to seek answers to the problem of transformable / transportable spaces keeping in mind the issues as flexibility, mobility, lightness, transiency, affordability, reus-ability, mutability, and adaptability within the size constraints of a shipping container that is allowed to travel on land. the function to which the projects would serve was left to desicion of students them-selves.

the proposal, outside boundaries - inside expres-sions, is a result of a search for a platform where clubs and societies under the body of the university can express themselves to the rest of the student society.

the project serves as an interface between the per-menant residents (club or society members) and the temporary users (visitors). it becomes a platform of expression of the primer to the latter. where such expression is the goal, the container can no longer be closed and confined to its perimeters. it should expand beyond its limits and increase the volume of interaction.

OUTSIDE BOUNDARIES - INSIDE EXPRESSIONS

3.1


boundaries vs. breaking the box instead of containing the space in or out of a box, the project tries to define the space around it, blurring the boundaries between in and out.

expansion

the volume of the container not also trifolds when expanded but also allows for differentiated and fragmented spaces that flow into each other where the unity of the whole is still the issue. this fragmentation yields to increase of volume of ex-perience and expression, changing the distance to surfaces.

wall & volume

dual existence of wall and volume are experienced simultaneously. Walls standing out as “objects” appear at the same time as the unified volume around them is perceieved or vice versa. therefore figure and ground becomes dissoluble in the single structure and the perception of depth oscillates continuously.

“breaking the box” is achieved by using fractal methodology.

rule

in the generator, replace each copy of the initiator with a scaled copy of the generator.the rule of the project is based on the division of the total length of the container from points “x” and “y” to create 3 partitions. then the middle portion is rotated around an axis “a” with an angle “b”.

Topographic tension along Kagıthane river is evalu-ated as an advantage since it is now abandoned by former industy activity and awaits its new business entrepreneurs. This topographic tension creates basins along river with intervals. These basins, are proposed as recreation and business zones. The basin: Recreation finds itself a place along the river bed and business activity is carried in the in-ner parts of basins. The project proposes a wall be-tween recreation and business. The wall acts both as a barrier between and a connector of two func-tions. Hurriyet Headquarters, which propose both pub-lic and business activities, then should be at the junction of the two zones. Its very unique location is selected because of its proximity to road junc-tion which connects Kagithane’s main road and the road that comes from 4. Levent.A newspaper building is a negotiation of many ele-ments that are the constituents of newspaper. But there is one dichatomy under newspaper that nei-ther negotiates nor serves efficiently when exist together. Yet it is the co-existence of them which makes the newspaper. They are the public that is the subject of the newspaper and the private sys-tem that is the object (creator) of the newspaper.

The project group sees Iznik as a patterned organi-zation of layers, with the ground level partitioned by a grid, originating from the layers beneath. The patterns of “perimeter block”, “leftover space” and “gaps” have been points which were studied on. The proposal supports and emphasizes recur-ring relations of these elements. The layered orga-nization of the city is inspirational in forming the proposal and main ideas, taking this organization and treating it as a continuum. The gridiron, which constitutes the regulating lines of the city also is of importance and is considered for the organization of the site.

The proposal views the program and the site as a themed urban open space, relating to the other such spaces in the city with different characters.

The group aims to produce proposals that do not stand or lie on the site as over-powered elements in the vicinity of the historical building stock and also not obstruct solar exposure of the neighbor-ing blocks. While historical buildings in the site are transformed to house program elements, recently built generic verancular building stock is replaced by the proposal. However, their proportions are still traced in the final outcome.
