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 negative qualities. In early architectural education, there were no studio and they use master/pupil relationship for learning. With studio, every architectural education terminate this method. But in my opinion this is really make no sense. We also need master/pupil relationship. We will learn lots of things through this method. We don't have to imitate our masters action. Even seeing masters viewpoint and behaviour about project is improve our skills about architecture.

All in all, if i want to be an architecture, i should benefit from studio. And i have pleasure being a part of studio. I know that it could not so easy when i encounter very negative evaluation or when i present my project to jury but when i get used to some things in studio, i will handle it.

THE CAVE AND THE SKY: STONE AGE EUROPE When architecture was started is debatable thing. But primitive humans temples can be accept as first architecture buildings. Also plan of the world is another quality in there: caves, rivers, lakes and other things can regarded as  architecture. So, we have architecture for so long. OLD STONE AGE ARCHITECTURE Both structures technology and rituel usage of architecture increase rapidly. Neanderthals and cro-magnons start to create some materials in these times.To protect themselves from air conditions, they use fur outside of the structures. Also they negotiate with nature in religion principles. This situation affect hunters directly. Death is a mysterious thing for them and architecture change in the shape of death and religion. Caves become temples for example. And hunters start to use art as a intermediate. Art is a huge significance in there. Because art is much more different than physical world and thanks to art we can find ...

Reading V: Bronz Age Cities: The Aegean and Asia Minor and Reading VI

In greeks classical works we again encunter Myceneans' trace. And they built a lot of independence citadels and these kind of things. In literature Homer mention about this situation because Myceneans has overseas power in these times. Myceneans have also their own tradition and when they use form they give a name it and they use it in almost every buildings. They have both trade and militay power. And Myceneans reach this power thanks to location of Crete. Crete is the biggest aegean land and level of culture is really high in there. Myceneans has some difference when we compare with Greeks. Their land is important because of its location as we said. Because it provides trade route between Greece, Egypt and Mesopotamia. ASIA MINOR  Asia minor is actually our land and Today it called as Anatolia. And Anatolia is house of some communities like Çatalhöyük. And building principles are still valid in todays especially earthquake areas. European people spread whole of the Anatolia...
