The Term Project Subject, Organization & Requirements

Scope of this term's Architectural Design Studio is to achieve an ecological efficiency through the use of natural resources and spatial planning.

In order to achieve this goal, you will have to work in groups which are composed of 5 (min) OR 6 (max) Students. Each group will organize itself to solve the following problems:

Site Selection and Visit to Site

You have to select your site from "Caferaga District" in "Kadikoy Town". You may find some predefined example sites and buildings below:

Then you have to  carry on a site analysis. Follow up the procedure defined in this post.

Concept development

Define the philosophy behind your Architectural approach to the design problem. Just like people, the built environment also demands some attention. The environment must accept your building. Try to give answers for the following questions: Why? What? How? When? Where? Who?

Develop a scenario. Prepare a report; a small essay that describes a day your building, and the internal and external users realize.

This part of the work must be the cooperative product of the team.

Sustainability: 

Sustainable development is defined as "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." (Brundtland Commission, 1987) Within the scope of this problem you have to consider;

  • Energy efficiency (Carbon footprint of construction materials, energy required for installation, energy required to power the building appliances, energy required to heat and cool the building, insulation requirements and techniques)
  • Use of recycled materials and recyclability of selected materials 
  • Indoor air quality and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) amount of selected materials. Passive ventilation
  • Separation and reuse of greywater(rainwater), yellow water, blackwater 
  • Energy production (Sun, soil, the wind)
  • Ecology
ecol-o-gy \ i-'klj\ n. pl. -gies

[G kologie, fr. k-ec- + -logie -logy] (1858) 1. A branch of science concerned with the interrelationship of organisms and their environments. 2. The totality or pattern of relations between organisms and their environment. 3. HUMAN ECOLOGY. (Source: Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary


ECO: It certainly isn't a new word. In Greek ("oikos"), it means the home, the place where we live

Architecture

Please develop a detailed "Architectural Program" based on your selection from Alternatives 1, 2 or 3. This program must include detailed requirements for each piece of Architectural Function and dedicated area according to those requirements.
  • Please develop the Architectural Function Schema for the building.
  • Define the Gestalt principles you are going to use/benefit. Develop, prepare basic design alternatives based on your concept.
  • Your enclosed area must not exceed 60m². This area does NOT include staircases (in case your architectural solution includes one) or the garden.
  • Decide what kind of structure you will use (solid, framework) as well as materials (timber, brick, stone, concrete, glass, steel, etc.)

Delivery Requirements

Each team in the design group is asked to select one of the design subjects described in alternative 1, alternative 2 and alternative 3, and a site (as described above). They are also required to develop a design concept and more detailed program related with their design project.

  • Simple site analysis and concept definition (Philosophy and scenario)
  • Site plan 1/500
  • Plans 1/100
  • Elevations 1/100
  • Sections 1/100
  • Details 1/50, 1/20
  • Scale Model 1/100
  • SketchUp Model
  • Renders
