PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF THE SITE

To better understand our working sites each group work some different quality of urban. Our topic is physical structure. In this assignment main labor is related with understanding pattern of the city. City blocks, plots, roads, rivers and these kind of physical things are important sources for understanding. Before sharing the poster I want to clarify details about physical structure briefly:

  • It is possible to say that conditions of roads is not changed till 1950's from Kızılay to Kolej. Which means conditions of city blocks and parcels keep their own quality.
  • Even these city blocks still remain themselves proportion of housing has some transformations. Almost every new structure is much more bigger than the old ones. This situation create some loses about old tissue of Ankara unfortunately.
  • There were incesu river in 1950's and it creates kind of border. Growth of the city ended in incesu river and east side of area is not planned in the manner of city blocks and plots in 1950's.
  • While Kızılay has strong relation with commercial activities, Kolej appeals to housing idea.
  • There are some problems for continuation of roads. Shortcut idea brings loses of continuity with itself.

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.
