revitelization of socio-economic stratification, Master thesis
Socio-Economic lattice structure.
The debate of the project starts from understanding an important district of Istanbul, which have
significant importance from Byzantine time and
used to be a metal industry and later turned as
Sishane light manufacturing industry in Ottoman
Empire time. In Byzantine and Ottoman empire
time sishane district inhabitants used to share
common interests and feed each other with their
socio-economic, socio-cultural and socio political
values. Project is about exploration and analyzing
the existing urban situation in terms of social
economic activities of existing network of production and their associated group of craft people in
production line process and proposing perfect
scenarios of communication, interaction environment as lattice. Stage A is the theoretical research
stage, which have been defined through the
current situation of Galat as crafts district.In stage
B all of these properties of program and their
essence have been mapped first as two dimensional diagrammatic Lattice then as rule based logic re
define the organization of production line dependency network as a cluster and increase the
amount of ateliers in each cluster.

For the 40-acre site of the former Bavarian station
to be built, an important area between the south
and east of Leipzig. For us, it's about the urban
space and profiling of the east and west neighborhoods between the Bavarian Station and the Richard Lehmannstreet, and the other is the creation of
spatial potentials, which runs deep in the south of
Leipzig.Site gives us the unique opportunity to tap
into urban space in the area between the Bavarian
Station and Richard Lehmann Road a large area
that is the future for businesses, educational, commercial and leisure to develop a high level of attractiveness. This site act as central spine between two
zones, residential and commercial with different
programmatic concerns. Architectural concerns on
the site will not only transform the macro level but
it will affect its immediate context in the city.
Being centralized situation in the city the site got
the real potential to be like an active node. the left

The idea of the urbanism is following the concept
of future architecture in 2112 which is based on
new conception of space and living style in future
as differentreality where boundaries of virtual and
physical reality have blended together and letting
an argument for a designer to construct and
rethink about architectural spatial logic in 2112,
living in this environment where People are
concerned about creativity of life , accommodation, leisure, economic activities.
Multi-layered networks as activity points are being
generated and self organized on rules & information of programmatic concerns. Each individual
place attracts certain urban activities(Business or
residential), which are simulated by moving agents
which turn into swarm behaviors in a 3D urban
context. Swarm behaviors develop the possibility of
emergence, based on the precise calculation of
agents and densities of places. The dynamic generation of the multi-layered networks reflect the
stigmergic logic of the city growth , as rules have
extracted from future programmatic concerns of
activities.

A swarm an be viewed as a group of agents cooperating with certain behavioural pattern to achieve
some goal. There are a number of different models
of swarm intelligence that have been proposed and
investigated, and among the most commonly used
swarm intelligence models include ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization and honey
bee swarming etc.
Modelling
of the collective behaviours of simple agents interacting locally among themselves, and the environment which leads to the emergence of a coherent
functional global patterns. From the computation
point of view, swarm intelligence models are computing algorithims that are useful for undertaking
distributed optimization problems. Swarm logic
presents the idea of Agents and their defined
movement with an idea of separation, cohesion
and alignment. Agents movement has the potential
to define dynamic geometries and tectonics. In this
case the agents movement define Fiberous morphologies. Fiberous bundling and separtion as
weaving can be achieved through agents movement.

The main idea is to conceive the whole system of
an Art institute as micro urban system which has
different parts but all parts will be in a complex
relationship which is required for an institute in the
current age. A generic sustem as complex adaptive
system is helping for making a complex programmatic relationship among differnet parts of teh
whole system to synthesis it into a main system and
to create diversity of experiences as sequences of
dramatic spaces and events.
An art institute greatly deals with sharing of information, which defines its essence abd leads
towards cross programmed culture of activities
rather distinct nothon of set functions. The quaility
of spaces is reflected my the generic reflection of
programtic concers through a concrete process,
which allows spaces to be able to deal various
events. These events are strong aspects of Art isntitute. The design process dictates a wide range of
social aspects through tectonical formations. These
formations are being represented as modulation of
specific order, which keep on constantly changing
based on topography and conditions within.

This was an architecture studio project, which was
based on my experiences of the site and their metaphorical interpretation into architecture as a
narrative in a democratic society especially when it
is a building type (civic center) that should become
a representation of the system (democracy) and
thereby hopes and aspirations of the community.
Architecture then partake of symbols, icons, and
representations and ways of building, that the
community already hold in high esteem accompanied with hierarchies of privileges.
My experiences of the site defines as sequences of
events in nature which exist in non symmetrical
harmony. The project is about finding the intangible essence and spirituality of the ambience and
how I can create a symbiotic dialogue between site
and architecture. Interpretation of the program
and form was interpreted as sequences of activities
happening on one spine like in jazz music different
episodes of instruments are introduced on one
continuous note. The idea defines architural logic
as series of tectonics which haapens arround one
spine in order to present it asymetrical spatial logic.

Design is based on programmatic, climatic, social
and cultural concerns through simple rules . It was
decided that planning and construction must be
straight-forward. Design was based on multiple
contextual and programmatic factors which
suggest volumetric composition. Volumes are
arranged in way to feed social and cultural intimacy
among different components of school as a system.
social and culural concers have been coded in
arranngement of architectonics through series of
analysis of time based social activities of students
and differnt cultural events of beconhouse as a
system.
Further these volumatric composition are developed into series of architectoincs which represent
different event spaces. The Project includes the
contextual debate as well, which defines its
volumatric composition. The contextual debate
define itself by reinterpreting cultural and architectural boundries and coming up with an idea of
teconical formations. these Formations have the
potential to perform various architectural and
programaitc features of Beaconhouse as contemporary school system.

Local Material was chosed with a challange to build
it in a short perid of time. Compressed mud block,
which has interlocking capability to build wall and
building components in short time. No plaster and
and morter was used to build this local way of
constrcution in a contemporary way. Half poortion
of the building was build in mud blocks and the
other half in steel structure.
Gymboree is an international organization, which
works for childern education. The program was
organized in volumetric composition. Music, play
and education were the basic program to feed
these volumetric composition. These mud blocks as
natural material helped to achieve hygienic solutions for users as childerns.
