4th Year: Beginning of Ending

Definition of time is a thing which people can not make agreement about it. Here comes last year of architecture studio. There are lots of both good and bad memories, juries, days without sleep, model and etc. I think that every labor worth to learn something. There are still two semester to learn and here is the first semesters topic:


EMSALSİZLİK

For this semester, we examine special part of Çukurambar,Ankara. The reason why this site is choosen by the lecturer is about number of mixed use structures and "emsal" issue.
