TRAVELS

What is Architecture? To me, Architecture is not just the drawing of lines on a sheet of paper, a perception commonly possessed by todays layman. A profession unmindful to most. Architecture, is the way we live, it creates and governs lives on a macro and micro level. From a single family dwelling to the masterplan of a major metropolis. It provides experiences, memories, and opportunities for all those who dwell in or around it.

CRITICAL_URBAN MASTER PLANburton-on-trent

This page holds a collection of images of my groups masterplan model for the town of Burton-upon-Trent. the model is at a scale of 1:500, it was made using a CNC Router and the selection of material we felt best represented our overall scheme. The concept is based on the way hops grow naturally around a steak. The town was divided into five zones, each holding its own importants to the overall masterplan.

during the early stages of the year, we were given the task of developing a master-plan for the brewing capitol of the United Kingdom, Burton-up-on-trent. This master-plan was conceived after a series of site visits and experiential studies conducted on the population of the small town. Its major failures that we attempt-ed to address with our masterplan were; a major lack of identity. We addressed this by creating a homogone-ous building layout and type. no sense of place. once you arrive to the town, their are no visual stimulants that lead you to a particular direction. This was solved through implementing a grande green boulovard that cuts through the existing town and creates a visual focal point down to the river trent. along this green strip are shops, cafes, park entertainment, farmers markets, and the relocation of b u r t o n - u p o n - t r e n t college and library. these issues lead me to select the burton-up-on-trent railway station as my site to develop further as it is in major disrepair being called the uk’s worst railway station by the burton mail. the station and is currently being renovat-ed by network rail and has put a 700, 000 project in repairing it.

Following the selection of my program It became clear that all functions involved in an Emergency Service head quarters share a common field of work of either preseving, protecting, or reviving human life. This is why my design concept is entirely based on the human anatomy. Seen from my design process and development, the concept was taken from a literal stand point to a more theoretical and more practical approach to the requirements of the town. As this building acts as a gateway and a nerve center for burton-upon-trent and the National Forest its appear-ance portrays its role in the region. Accommodations were once stacked in a hiearchy resembling that of the human body. Then evolved to accomodate that of the publics connection to the actual services of the building.

As this Emergency Service Headquarters sits as the gateway to the town of Burton as well as the National Forest, its role as a major nerve center or rather the heart of the region can be portrayed as just that. The form is to resemble the organic subjects in which its purpose is to preseve, protect, and revive burton-upon-trent inhabitants. welcome to the lifegate of burton-upon-trent.

DESIGN CONCEPT

the main idea of this design is to maintain a sense of simplicity in appearance, materiality, and maintenance, while still addressing the key issues of the existing stage.

the concept is that of a morphed cantenary arch that spans from the center of the stage on on either side to the sidewalk on the front street side to the edge of the stage on the other. This allows complete transparency, maintaining or rather creating a visual connec-tion to the hamilton harbour. The symetry of the design allows the performance to be viwed and enjoyed from a wider angle down front street, and by the mariners in the harbour, introducing a whole new way of utilizing the stage.

TECTONICS (thesis)‘ministry of freedom’istanbul, turkey

The concept behind the cladding intricate pattern is in relation to the turkish rug. What determines a a turkish rugs value is predominently the time in which it took to make, the thread count, and occasionaly the region of the country in which it was made. This floral pattern which can be seen covering the majority of the building is that to resemble a high quality turkish rug, for this floral pattern is often found on high quality rugs with a thread count of 150 tpi and higher. This in turn suggests the importance of this building to the turkish nation and its position in the gover-ment and power of its people.

This pattern changes depending on its location throughout the program as spaces considered less important are given a more solid/ smooth appearance and treatment.

THESIS PROJECT‘ministry of freedom’istanbul, turkey

With the newly incorporated Turkish Point System, aimed at evaluating “Turkishness” throughout the country, a governing body is generated in managing the success of this Article 301.1 amend-ment. With the speculation of an increase in anarchism and attempts at disrupting what can be considered a new form of segregation, this governing body is in requirement of a facility that will act as an authority head in enforcing, investigating, and awarding matters concerning “Turkishness”.

As part of the design agents speculations part one we decided to divide the scenario into two opposing sides. That of the state and that of the people. The state speculated that in the years to come certain changes will occure. Changes that are said to be in the best interest of the people. From what has been in existence long before Erdogen was elected president Turkey was given an article 301 which states the following

1. A person who publicly denigrates Turkishness, the Republic or the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, shall be punishable by imprisonment of between six months and three years.

2. A person who publicly denigrates the Government of the Republic of Turkey, the judicial institutions of the State, the military or security organizations shall be punishable by imprisonment of between six months and two years.

3. In cases where denigration of Turkishness is committed by a Turkish citizen in another country the punishment shall be increased by one third. Expressions of thought intended to criticize shall not constitute a crime.We the state wish to enforce this article further and incorporating a Turkish point system where points can be accumulated in order for us to evaluate the level of turkishness any citizen has. During this new amendment to article 301 the points can be monitored online and can be accumulated by day to day Turkish acts such as purchasing good manufactured in Turkey.

VISUALS

Since a carpet is more of a work of art, each design has a deeper meaning. A carpet is more likely to a poem; neither can tolerate any extra element which does not contribute to its wholeness and value.

Therefore, just like in a poem, each pattern of a carpet is like each verse of a poem.It is chosen for its beauty and motifs are carefully arranged to form rhymes of fascinat-ing Turkish Carpets. Motifs in Turkish rugs are a complete language.

Typically, higher knot counts are found in rugs with which have floral or curvilinear patterns. The higher knot count allows leaves, flowers and curvilinear patterns to be woven in a complex manner and the curves to be formed more elagance and beauty.

As the geometric shapes tend to have straight lines and angles, rugs with geometric patterns do not require many knots per square inch. Pattern type and desired design assigns the knot size. The knots size do not determine the quality of the oriental rug by itself!
