The document summarizes the design process for a new Children Science Center in Istanbul, Turkey. It describes workshops with international design teams to analyze the site context, develop design concepts, and finalize the design. The final design features a transformable building with modular and reusable components that can adapt to different functions, indoor climates, and seasons through rearrangement. It aims to be energy positive and use materials in a cradle-to-cradle approach.

GreenTransformableEnergy positiveHello, welcome and thank you all for being here. We r a group of 15 students from three differente countries, three differente universities and 3 differente profesions (which made this experience so much more interesting) doing a workshop over the course of one semester. Our asignment was to design a Children Science Center located in Istanbul, Turkey which would be green, transformable and energy efficient. It was a workshop made of three parts, part one being in Sarajevo dedicated to analysis, second part in Istanbul where the location is and where we finished our building concept and the third and final part here in Enschede where we finished our final design. What you will see in this presentation is a brief overview of the design process and the final result...so let us begin.
On averagebetween 2 – 28 degrees
Summer: NEWinter: SW
The building is a exhibit in itselfTeachingchildrenabout the 4 elements and theirinfluenceon the environmentConcept 1: Integration in the landscapeConcept 2: Spatialconfiguration, 3D exhibition, Concept 3: Green aspects
We wanted our building to come from the earth and to let the site condition it and shape it...we wanted our building to be a part of the exhibition and and to show on practical examples what is preaching. So we started with orientation, with the path of the sun, with cold and warm winds. Because of the in general strong winds on the location we wanted to have a shielded space that the building encloses that could be used as a semi open space for the open part of the exhibition and also refreshment area in the summer and the extention of the enterior of the building. Then we started thinking about the interior of the buiding and after analyses came to a conclusion that we wanted to have a big clean space that could be organized in many ways to host differente kinds of exhibitions and not be opstructed by the barriers in space so we decided to make two volumes so that the bigger volume can be used for the exhibitions and every other requirament of the building can be found in a smaller volume. After analyses of the wind the smaller level reached the height of 4 meters on the north where the building is shielded by a hill so that this side takes the cold summer north east wind and bounces it of of the building and above the central square and bigger volume which on the other hand is reaching the height of 3 meters and picks up the warm wind during the winter from the south west and sucks it into the building

The green concept building has been developed in the last 2 years in Twente University, and it has been applied in this concept for the campus of Yildiz TechnicalUniversity. This concept shows thatthis green building concept is notonlyapplicableforortocognal and cubicalshapes, butcanbeeasilyappliedfororganicshapes as well. The conceptualphase is donebythisgroup and itwillbeelaborated in Istanbul and itwillbe the first building from the universitythatwillapplyfor LEED certificate
