- 4. acookingschoolwithaheart In the beautiful coastal city of Ayvalık, the locals are famous for their production of homemade olive oil, among other things, and it is used heavily in the Medit- erannean palate of the city, and Turkey overall. The brief calls for a culinary arts school on a plot next to the coast, with educational facilities such as training kitchens, classrooms and auditoriums; public facilities such as a restaurant, and accomodation for students. Inspired by the multitudes of docks that reach out into the ocean, the project is composed of 3 linear blocks, soaring towards the west, such that it allows a public vista of the ocean from the street, as well as from within the school. Each mass contains varying functions, with a gradual increase in studiousness and privacy; the first mass contains the entrance hall, restaurant and vegetable roof garden, the second: training kitchens and classrooms; and the third contains the accomodations, on the upper levels. These are connected by an artery, an architec- tural mass which incorporates the entrance hall, horizon- tal and verticul circulation within and between the 3 masses, and a demonstration kitchen. type culinary institute location Ayvalık, Turkey studio architectural design V with Prof. Erkin Aytaç, Pelin Yoncacı, Serdar Erişen artery

- 10. headquartersforacandycompany zen_office The clients are a company that manufactures candy in Pakistan. Situated in their hot, industrial factory environment, the requirement was to build a serene executive office building surrounded by nature, protected from the noise and dust of the factory. The program needed to accomodate communal and meet- ing spaces for guests and middle management, as well as four distinct executive offices. These were to have a separate entrance from the ‘public’ portion of the build- ing. The design was concieved as 5 masses; with the meeting and gathering spaces in the largest one, that then generated 4 identical forms that become the executive offices. These masses were then separated to form linear gardens and courtyards, which are framed by openings in the corridor, and in gathering spaces. The executive offices are surrouded by nature on all sides, to create a zen-like atmosphere in which to work, rest, meet and meditate. type office building location Multan, Pakistan studio Arshad Shahid Abdulla under Ar.

The concept is that of gleaming geological form that complements and reflects the mountains. A polycrystal, shining on the skyline of Pakistan’s capital. A cave like podium, with an atrium that goes up 3 stories, accomodates gathering, working and recre- ational spaces for the building’s occupants. Separate entrances for the tenant’s and for the bank employees feed the atrium, continuing to the two separate lift lobbies. On the top levels of the building, the footprint of the floor is carved out to generate a green atrium on the south, going all the way up to the roof. This protects the airconditioned office spaces from the direct heat of the south sun. The occupants then have views to both the atrium and the mountains on the north. type office building (highrise) location Islamabad, Pakistan studio Arshad Shahid Abdulla under Ar.

Named ‘pivot’, for the way the linear masses emerge from and then revolve around the central multipurpose hall, the mass separates at certain points on the ground, creating openings for vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation to seep in. The rotation of the design around the pivot is not constant; this creates a gradual variation in density of housing, as well as green areas, social spaces and recreational/sport facilities. pivot.living
- 23. The line of the design goes around the site, fragment- ing more and more frequently, making increasing the permeability towards the sports club to the southeast, and blocking off the urban and mountainous areas to the southwest and northwest, with its higher density of green areas and impermeability. The commercial and social zone are at the most permeable point, acting as connectors to the public sports club, a buffer zone to the outside world. Each opening in the ground, leads to different areas within the site, creating circulation for bicycles as well as pedestrians. site plan the line of housing/ zoning peaks and valleys ensure that sun reaches courtyards peaks contain penthouses with better views voids beneath the valleys form pathways for people to enter the site valleys form social terraces fragmen ta ti on deep green park social plaza/ flower garden outdoor sports commercial zone public green

- 28. livingunder,aboveandaroundagarden For this residence in the metropolitan city of Karachi, the clients’ chief request was an expansive garden for their grandchildren, as well as living and sleeping spaces for themselves. At the time I joined, the design was in its conceptual stages, with the main idea being for the house to have a green ramp from the ground floor garden to the first floor. However, integrating this with the spaces, as well as solving the height of the ramp was a challenge, as it needed to rise high enough for headspace on the ground floor, as well as stay within the confines of the plot. These issues were resolved by designing the topography for the plot, inside, as well as outside. In the final product, the entrance leads dow to a series of spaces, each with its own level, and finally at the bottom, a delightful hidden courtyard, which gives views to the two bedrooms, the living room, as well as the first floor garden. type residence location Karachi, Pakistan studio Arshad Shahid Abdulla (internship) back alley submerged.house process models back-of-house

At the first floor, the second void contains a terrace garden, along the side of the family room. This also provides ventilation for the bathroom windows of the second, and third floor. On the top floor, the voids become balconies for the professor’s study, and bedroom, places to sit outside the house and look down upon the street or residential alleyway. +2.3m +5.8m -2.0m +8.0m -0.8m 0.0m +4.0m +7.5m +10.5m transverse section to canal transverse section from canal COHOUSE 4 HOUSE A6 CANAL CANAL proposed programmatic site plan PEDESTRIAN STREET The site plan below shows the two plots allotted, one for the house and one for the co-house project that follows this one.

The house, constructed on plot a6 (site plan on page 3), lies 2 plots away from the co-house, and the street, giving the residents ease of access to the outside community. West of the plot is the canal, and east is the pedestrian street, ensuring the nearby aura is that of peace and calm.

- 35. anacousticshelterinthemiddle ofacity The notion of cities as a collection of chaot- ic elements, is a general one, but an oft-overlooked element of chaos is sound. Since the advent of motor- ized vehicles, cities have been victim to noise pollu- tion emitted by various sources, including daily traffic. The site, a park next to Kavaklidere Cadde- si, a street in the bustling metropolis of Ankara, faces the same problem. Located on a busy, central intersec- tion with diplomatic buildings, it demands relaxation, and particularly seclusion from the noise outside. The solution is a soundscape; the design of which entails a two-pronged process, protection from negative sounds, by greenery and carefully placed vertical elements, and then filling the ensuing vacuum with desired sounds. These are created by ‘sound sculptures’, powered by wind, and also water, which is supplied by 2 pools on either end with a stream between them. Spaces within the park contain hierarchies between them; public spaces contain open areas for performance, and sculpture viewing, while private areas are more silent, and introspective. type park location Ankara, Turkey studio landscape design with Prof. Fünda Baş Bütüner soundscape public diplomatic surrounding zones, road network and site location private manufacturing replacing resonating sound

Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD were used to design a transparent, steel exhibition hall, with high beam spans, as well as brick and glass cladding with shading devices to shield the occupants from the sun. Apart from the reinforced concrete strip and raft foundation, the whole structure was designed to be assembled on-site, using factory produced sub-assembly components. type exhibition hall location Antalya, Turkey studio Construction Design Practice with Prof. Ayşe Tavukçuoğlu Tiles Pedestals Rigid insulation Waterproofing membrane Top concrete Top concrete Steel deck Steel deck C-profiles I-beam Box profile joists METSEC Roof Truss a study in steel Slab-wall connection Roof-wall connection section perspective showing details

- 41. agatheringspaceasasocialbridge The brief calls for a community activity genera- tor in proximity to the row houses, to serve as ignition for community activities, production, social life; in this case the program designed is that of a social bridge, connecting the insulated row house canal community with the urban fabric of Eskisehir. In a tiny 6x18 house, individuals cannot hold social or business related events. This lack of space threatens to isolate the individual, leaving him in danger of turning into a hermit. The answer is a home away from home - a place where the resident can hold parties, call over friends, marry his childhood sweetheart, and at the same building, call community gatherings or business meetings with clients/sellers of his/her home business. The social activities within the private sphere of the house are extracted and condensed into a social, public sphere. activities communal living relaxation socializing business meetings type cohouse location Eskişehir, Turkey studio architectural design III social_bridge
- 42. southwest perspective A community predicted to be this peaceful and leisurely sadly lies beside a busy commer- cial road filled with shops, loud cars and dirty vibes. A micro culture shock is to be experi- enced as soon as the person sets foot off the community, leaving the canal and homes behind him, and stepping into a dog eat dog world. The solution? An open resting place on his way to the outside world, where he can sip on coffee and brace himself for the daily discomfort he is to go through in the world outside his home.
- 43. southeast perspective perspective from major street A bridge isn’t simply just an avenue of circulation, a mere line to walk upon; it is often a meeting place, a point in between two landmasses upon which two separate entities might communicate, and for individuals, an element upon which one may simply stand and feed the ducks. Social_bridge occupies cohouse 4, at the edge of the community and in proximity to the urban fabric of Eskisehir. This seamlessly complements its role as a connector between the two sets of lives, those of the outer urban area, and those of the insulated canal commu- nity. The building exudes a strong presence along the street corner, with a booking office and cafe on street level, as well as a main entrance to the building. The red perforated brickwork on the south facade is visible as a singular perspective point from down the street, making the building visible and significant, a beacon of shining red in the city. The brickwork serves as protection from the heat of the sun in the south, as well as from the distracting visual elements of the street, while letting in light and air to the balcony.
