This semester we have tried to design a structure which have 60.000-m2 construction site in Söğütözü. In the term project “EMSALSİZ”, first of all we analyzed the site, and specified the program as a group and then we designed the structure individually.
In the analyze process, we have analyzed the site and specific structures in Söğütözü as a group. It is important for specified the program and the creation of the design idea. And we learned how to analyze.
The one difference between EMSALSİZ and other term projects is that program of the structure is specified by us. While specifying the program, the analyses on site have created input on the program. Thinking about the programs, functions, and actors are critical process for design process. Dealing with program is different experience for me, and I explored some principles about creating program. And this period I examined some example of library in the world every scale.
After the specified the program, we were dealing with bigness. Before the dealing with bigness of the structure, I have comprehended the scale. Because of the bigness there are some problems, which we must handle it such as vertical circulation, service-served spaces, otopark. It is important to screen on examples on Turkey and the world, which are similar scale to realize the scale.
The term project: EMSALSİZ have been introduced about the definition and had discussion about the bigness. Dealing with this issue and the term project is very crucial considering the last decades large urban projects in the metropolitan areas have been challenging architectural design in respect to complexity, program and scale before the being architect.
