Detail Model (241 Final)

For final assignment, I made model which is related with my design principles. Its just a little part of my pier. Its scale is 1/20 and I just want to show how different materials come together and how design work with materials. So this model includes both little part of design and tecnical properties of my model.

 

Also, I wrote some information about detail of my model. here is my report:

Keeping natures own quality is important issue for open spaces. To supply this, materials which are prefer in design, should have connection with nature. In my eymir model, my main idea is relating with how can I specify different spaces while I prefer natural route. There are two main route in my model and both of them in the north. One of them benefit from slope, density of tree, wind and these kind of qualities while other one is much more related with reeds, lake. These different sources also affect details of my places. To better perception of my detail model which is part of pier, we can divide it into 3.
To defining space, I use series of columns but some part of pier’s  does not have two sided column system. In there, concrete is not well choice for me because load distribution will cause problem and my columns will be fall over. Also concrete is not well option for relation between nature-structure. So I prefer wooden in general design except basis of pier. Both creating connection with nature and supplying load distribution, inside of vertical wooden parts (columns) has steel. Having steel also help me to walkable upper floor of my model where only wooden is not enough to carry.And steel-wooden meeting is like puzzle. When they meet, they create rectangular shape.
Structural parts where place at underwater is another issue in there. Sticking wooden into lake sand is meaningless because of durability and load distribution. To reach durability, firstly sand should purify and appropriate part of sand should find. Concrete seems like best solution for abrasion and when some part of concrete is embedded, both abrasion and durability problems will be solved. Connection is another topic in here. Different types of screws help me to connect concrete and wooden in underwater.  
Walking platform of pier has similar logic: there is main piece of platform which has grid system and it carry whole of the things. Increasing number of square of this platform make stronger and thus platform carry much more weight. But on the other hand it also mean that gravity can create problem for them. To struggle gravity problem, side parts (screws and posts) should locate much more carefully. In my model, corners have key role.
All in all, in my detail model, I worked on how pier’s important parts connect with other materials,  especially wooden&steel and concrete &wooden. My general connection pieces have screws almost whole of them and little supportive parts help me against load distribution.

STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS: KHAN SHATYR

Each structure has its own story. And this is Khan Shatyr's one. For Arch372 lesson we choose a structure and examine its structural details. We find Khan Shatyr as interesting and made research about it. Tension of roof, its durability, materials, technique of construction is quite different from other ones. And here some explanative poster about structure with diagrams.

Reading II: The Cave and The Sky: Stone Age Europe and Reading III: The Rise of the city: Architecture in western asia

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...
