Perifora Exhibited Machine
The unique maritime culture and rich historical background of Egirdir Lake serve as a backdrop for this innovative project, which aims to demonstrate the automation of sponge harvesting; specifically focusing on the freshwater sponge spongilla in a way that is both educational and engaging for visitors. The project incorporates design elements inspired by the semi-circular harvest units used for landscape proposal with wetlands, and includes an amphibious structure with telescopic guidance columns to adapt to rising water levels in the lake according to changes of the master plan. Perifora also features a wooden frame structure, biomimetic kinetic facade for solar collection and sponge harvesting, which contribute to the automation aspect of the project."

THE FRAME – SOCIAL CO-LIVING COMPLEX
The system was created with the combination of different trio variations. The main strategy was creating a common area with the use of a courtyard, lobby and office for these combinations. It is aimed to have a smooth passage from private to common areas through the gridal organisation. Open air platforms, and an underground passage were used to connect volumes with different functions to enhance the co-housing ability of the complex. Different materials such as green facade panels, perforated metal sheets, polycarbonate panels, and glass were used to create integrity through the facade and differentiate public, semi-private and private areas from each other.

Egirdir: From Stopover to Destination
Situated on an isthmus, Eğirdir is a town that constantly changes. Throughout the history the town’s waterfront, and the urban fabric has been changing as a result the changing environmental conditions, disasters and human interventions.Arch 401 studios explored this rich urban context to develop proposals to turn this unique town to a travel destination.

New Residential Landscape
ARCH 301 is a thematic studio that promotes a fundamental inquiry into the core of architectural discipline focusing on the design of a housing complex. The course aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of architectural design bringing students to face an integrated sequence of tasks, from the design of a set of dwelling units, to the study of their mutual articulation, from the investigation of multiple circulation paths to the design of proper architectural systems to screen the volumes.
2022 Fall Instructors: Özge Selen Duran (Course Coordinator), Giorgio Gasco, Bilkay Begüm Peker, Zeynep Ege Odabaşı
Gordion Excavation House
In Fall 2022, ARCH 201 studios worked on an excavation house in the inspiring context of Gordion Tummulus. The project introduced the students' to the rich world and unsual working-living practices of the archeology community.
2022 Fall Instructors: Zühre Sü Gül (Course Coordinator), Alp Giray Köse, Ezgi İşbilen, Deniz Üçer Erduran
The Buzzing Question
In Fall 2022, for the final project of the semester, the students worked on The Buzzing Question. “The Buzzing Question” required the students to design with elementary components (e.g., linear and planar elements) while questioning and re-handling all design related terms they were introduced to. The volumetric relations were structured in a system of organization, and they were expected to achieve a flow of volumes within the design proposals.
