First Assignment in Studio

Everybody knows that drawing something is not easy action for first year student in architecture ,but actually this assignment is more challenging than what we expected. When you look at this picture, it may not resemble something in your mind, but actually this is one of the most unique structure in the world. Its name is Royal National Theatre, its in Southbank, London and real type of building is this   And here is some information about Royal National Theatre : Sir Denys Louis Lasdun, (8 September 1914–11 January 2001) is an Architect of this building. Royal National Theatre is one of the most significant BRUTAL DESIGN in U.K We again encounter two person in there: Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Denys Lasdun also influenced by these two important architect. Im not sure about whether my drawing has good qualities or not but im sure that when you abstract it with horizontal or vertical lines, it will spend not only your time but also your pat

Light box

I'm here with my new assignment today. It should contain abstraction , light, shade&shadow and hierachy in itself. Lets talk about what kind of process this assignment has. Firstly, we went to the Kurtuluş Parkı and our guides wanted to take some picture in specific place by us. We should take 5 photographs (sky,ground,front,left and right) in these specific places. After that we should print out these photographs and we need sketch these photograph with regarding abstraction.  Our workspace is front picture and the crucial sketch is this picture: And after some abstraction work, this picture's view is really changed as you can see bottom of this text : And after this abstraction, with using this drawings,I started modeling part. My first modeling has some negative qualities like having different shape which is against assignment and finally I have out of requirement grade. It feels really different but as you will see (except first picture), I

Structural Frame (05 Assignment)

                  Im here with my new assignment today. End of this assingnment,we should analyse a system to understand and reflect its abstract operational structure. And for achieving this aim we need to find small-scale production or manifacturing and observe their action. Thus, we can find a source and observe some keywords like rhythm, convergence, divergence repetition, continuity,fractical grid and etc. When we observe these elements,also we should take a picture,record a video or other medium for showing our observation and post to our blog. In this way, I decide that visit hamamonu. In here there are lots of different small-scale production but my choice should has keyword. After some research, wristlet (or jewellery) seems to me best way for showing that. So,I took some videos and pictures to post here. Below you see youtube link, which has wristlet video made by myself. ( I encounter some problems when I try to share directly in wordpress) And also I made poste

Architectural tour in Ankara (04 assignment)

          It was a rainy day… Again noone has no idea what we are doing… This is a kind of principles of being architechture student. Sounds echoing like “its up to you!” in studio.Then we recognized that nothing can be same after this trip… Here comes new assignment. Last friday we take an architectural tour in Ankara and we have to focus light and shadow qualities in Buildings. In poster (which is on the left) you can see old buildings. They may seem like normal structure but when we think that 1920-30s, they are really important and well designed buildings for Ankara.  Also there are more photos when i took this trip. I didn't add these pictures to my poster thats why i couldnt find exact texture in these photos.  

OFF TOPIC: 29th OCTOBER REPUBLIC DAY

Thoughts about “The Design Studio”

In university, architect students learn something more different from other departments. One of the most significant difference is they have different workspace: design studio. When you look outside, most probably you want to be part of this workspace but  actually get used to design studio is not so easy. And in my opinion, design studio has both positive and negative qualities in itself. If we talk about positive qualities, we can easily say that design studio contains lots of member and this place open discuss these members works. With this way, people not only have their opinions but also other people’ viewpoints. So, they see their weaknesses and focus on these problems. Also, when people doing something in studio, they learn how to find a best solution for problems in limited time. This is very compelling situation but i believe that if we achieve this goal, this is really helpful for us in whole life. On the other hand of course design studio has some nega
