This poster belongs to my final construct and you can also my construct’s orthographic projection,section drawing,axonometric drawing and partial axonometric drawings which present gap centre ideas and their pattern.If you would like to comment about the poster, please do not be shy 🙂
Overview was second step of the final jury and this concept did not exist for previous years. That’s why it is a brand new concept and it is not new for but also new for TEDU Architecture department. In this concept, we discussed about our evaluation, challanging , our perspectives for the problems throughout the terms with our instructor and also with guests.In addition, we replied the questions that guests had. Actually, this concept was unique since there was not any construct,model,poster or diagram on the our around. Without these component, we could mention about our experiences and information which we obtained in the studio. For us, that situation provided to realise how much we improved.I hope that I will have this type final experience in the further.
The final countdown was finished and It is the final!!! This is the first final experience in our architectural student life and It was so amazing, nervous and painful. During the preparation process, due to requirement list of the final jury, most of us probably had nervous time period.The reason for this is, the drawings that we were expected took high percentage of our time.That’s why everyone was so stressful.Also , while we were building our model for the jury, the pins that we used for keeping together the elements was torture our fingers because some them was unavailable for that usage and we had a really challenging and painful time.Even though all of these, seeing that we were rewarded for our efforts in final was so amazing thing for me.That’s why, I really appreciate for everyone that showed their effort for the final.
Yessss, It is time to start explaining my final construct to you.If you read the previous entries such as pre-jury, you are able to understand easily our concept because it has a still same strategy and tactics.However, I am going to mention about it shortly. In my final construct, there is one dense centre that was based on a vertical gap and one sparse centre that was based on a horizontal gap.(In the axonometric drawing, blue part is present vertical gap centre pattern,red part is also horizontal gap centre pattern and yellow is isolated gap).When you look at the middle of these gaps, you can see another gap which provide to isolation strategy. If we compare with pre- jury model, I used the long elements to isolate these two gap centres however, I decided that this idea is not enough to isolation for these two gaps. Long elements just separate centres from each other. That’s why, Instead of long elements, creating a gap for isolation is appropriate for my approach because It also provides a distance between centers and isolation ideas come up more legible and logical.
In terms of density, my approach was creating strong secondary relationship like initial relationship for density in my vertical gap center. My sticks are so vital for that quality because increasing the strength of the secondary relationship is providing with them. In the dense part, you are able to see very short distance between sticks and planar elements and this is the idea of the increasing strength of the secondary relationship. Opposite of this idea is valid for sparse, you are able to see long distance between planar elements and sticks and that is supplying weak second relationship.
The key of the terms that is based on all my experience is that creating your own building system for your works or construct.
Heey, this is our catalog and If you read my loop tactics and pre jury entries you can comprehend easily what it is about. In this catalog, me and my friends present you our tactic assignments evaluation gradually like before after and their steps. Colored parts are our intervene zones and also you can see results of these operation in the end part. In addition, fallowing the flow chart will be beneficial to understand the order and our intention to solve problem. By the way, these catalog will be hang on our studio wall during the final day. If you want, you can also visit us and see them 🙂
Pre-juryyyy. It was our second jury experience and also preparation of this pre-jury was so nervous. There was very strict time to prepare construct, diagram and orthographic projection of the construct. Due that situation, I have stayed 4 night in design studio however, I have managed circumstance even though I became older.
Before the jury, we picked a pattern that belongs the loop assignment and scaled it till at least one dimension being a 50 cm. That model was 3D diagram to create a pre jury construct and also for final construct. You can also see my 3D model below.
When I look at my model, the first idea that I thought was using isolation for strategy for my construct yet, How it will be possible? You can see that there is couple that is separated from the others. According to my idea, that part will be centre and the other isolated part will be another centre. Isolation is going to be between of these part to apart them each other. That’s why, centralization was my tactic for this construct. However, these centre’s should have been characteristic feature. That’s why, one part of this centre is going to be dense and other one will be sparse. Overall, I have isolated one dense centre and one sparse centre from each other. You can see my model in below.
In the pre jury model, there is one dense centre that was based on a vertical gap and one sparse centre that was based on a horizontal gap. When you look at middle of the you can also realize some blocking elements that are longer for isolation. To reach the dense quality, secondary relations were stronger in terms of distance as primary relationship and the opposite of that idea was applied on the sparse with increasing the distances between elements.
To increase the relationship between the elements we were expected to produce loop in this assignment. However there was a restriction like that 29x37x43 prime numbers were give to us before the assignment. The Rule was giving us a option that we should pick two number for element size and the other number will be our number of elements. In my work, I preferred to use 43×37 for dimension and 29 elements for construct. While I am doing that, also there should be flow of relation in order to create a meaningful construct. In the below you can see my first construct and also my flow chart.
After the first draft, I was not satisfied from my work and decided to revise all of the loop construct. The reason of the unsatisfying is that there is no any patter between my relations. Pattern means that use some relation with a order. However this order should not be so strict because of creating a variations. After all of these I’ve experienced that these pattern provides a stability for the construct and variations catch the harmony the construct. Overall, we achieve a stabile, harmonious and stronger in terms of the first and second relationship construct.
In the last step, we produce same construct with just using stick to discover the function of sticks. When we use stick, you should think about lines since you are going to do abstraction of that construct. Lines have different type of relations according to planes because of the dimensions and you should catch the common relations between planer construct to show they are related each other. Thanks to that, they will be like father and son.
This work was different according to other assignments. After the loop assignment, our instructor indicated promising constructs and flow charts and gather them in the pool. Also they prepared the keyword list that includes some words and also these words are antonyms. We picked randomly one word. The thing that was expected to us is intervening one pattern of the construct with respect to this specific word. My word was centralized and you can see the original construct and the intervened construct below.
I achieved centralized quality with some operations that are scale, split, addition and d-extrude. The definition of these words;
Scale = Changing the dimension of element with respect to proportions
Split= Splitting the elements and using both of them in the construct
Addition= Addition a new element of course with respect to dimensions
D-Extrude= Transforming the elements to sticks with respect to elements lengths
Stretch= Changing the dimension of element with respect to just one single axis
Also, I used these operations with pattern and order and you can see them below.
While we were doing this assignment, we have buddy who has a antonym word. For instance, my word is centralized because of that reason my buddy has a decentralized concept. We worked as a group and shared our ideas to each other. As a result of that, there were plenty of centralize and decentralized ideas in every small groups.
In this assignment, we were expected to produce a grid but It should include polyrhythm in itself.In first, all about it depends on your interpretation about the polyrhythm. My interpretation on polyrhythm is there are two ordered repetitive elements or units and these order also different from each other. One of these ordered elements create a differences while it is creating harmony with the other ordered one.
Maybe explaining on the example can be more beneficial for you. For example, 4-3.It means that one units or elements repeat 4 time, the other units repeat 3 and they have common moment that is repeated. Within this common moment you can realize the harmony between them and also because of the count of repeat , it creates a differences. Polyrhythm also is relevant with music, you are able to see better example while you are listening drummer rhythms.
These are my grids that I used for structure for my works. In the assignment, also we were expected to create a complexity and simplicity. However, we should get references from the assignment 1.3 for these works. To create a complexity, my approaching that issue was like that If the composition have a more relationship and variations than the other composition, we can say it is complex. The reason for this is , we can get much more information in the every parts of composition. In below you can see my works and first one is my references works belongs to assignment 1.3
Overall, I can sincerely say that If we create a composition or model , using variation of some qualities each other for the different manner. It becomes more meaningful and harmonious.
Extremely exciting, nervous and pleased moments were happened at our jury time.Although before the representing, everyone has exciting and nervous feelings,after the representing we were pleased for our effort and work.We are expected that creating 4 variation with different elements and assemble them with a design operation.
Each of variations have 7 elements and 2 of them have parallel to each other.The other 5 elements were enclosed to these two elements and also 2 of the 5 elements have relation from the same edge in every variation of our constract.When these elements are arranged as this order,the relationship between 2 elements that neither have same edge quality nor parallelly to each other were kept in every 4 construct to create variation.Thanks to this common parts in every variation, these 4 constructs were combined from them and our construct was revealed.
Design operation that we are expected was shifting distance between 5 elements as mentioned before.New relationships was occurred between elements because of our design operation.In additionally, desingn operation also provided to consist of hierarchy in terms of number of relationships.3 variations that have less qualities than the other which has superiority in terms of quality was combined from common parts of them.However, The dominant variation was assembled differently with its common parts to other 3 elements common parts in order to show its importance and being seems more obvious than the others and also break to 2D vision of our construct.However, changing the size of our elements could be more helpful to comprehend more easily.
These models are my initial approaching to variation of relations among element.First idea that came to my mind suddenly was as that creating relation among different kind of each elements.I have focused on it a lot and these model that you can see revealed.When looking at these, they make me so satisfied.However, in the discussion I have realized that I have missed profound point because our instructors was expected to create variation of relations from us.Unfortunately, I have just obsessed on single relation that is alignment which exists in among different sort of each elements and when you look at to my diagram you are able to see what I am mentioning about.However the interesting thing is that when I look at these, despite to my mistake, they make me so satisfied.I really do not know why but there are a special things that I am not able to see in there. I will work on that!
Well, these are my production after the precious discussion.There are different kind of relations among each elements.However, I can sincerely say that when looking at these they can not make me satisfied except first production.However, I still would like to explain what I did in there.
Firstly, my first decision was as that create a single relationship and keeping that in every models since it is going to be common point of each models.After that, I decided to attach elements with different relations and when we examine in order, we can say one type of hierarchical relationship that is three cardboard which is standing parallel each other according to other two is decreasing gradually but also other type of hierarchical relationship that is becoming a central element which is horizontal cardboard according to ground is increasing gradually.In Addition, there is cardboard which has attached on the slope.I have attached sloping cardboards since with these I have created variation of relationship among elements and also nothing of these sloping cardboards have attached same edge again because of the variation.
