PROGRAM [WHAT SHOULD STUDENTS LEARN?] AT YAŞAR UNIVERSITY THE SECOND SEMESTER IN BASIC DESIGN STUDIO IS BASED ON FOUR MAIN PILLARS: COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE, MATERIAL AND FORM. WE BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE THE MAIN PILLARS OF DESIGN KNOWLEDGE THAT STUDENTS NEED TO RECALL AND MOBILIZE IN THEIR SECOND YEAR. ALTHOUGH DIVIDED INTO SEPARATE EXERCISES THE SEMESTER’S PLAN IS HOLISTIC; EACH EXERCISE AIMS TO PROVIDE A BASIS FOR THE NEXT TASK. IN THE FINAL EXERCISE (WHERE FORM IS EXPLORED) STUDENTS ARE INTRODUCED “RULE BASED DESIGN” (IN THE FORM OF “ANALOGUE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN”). *“RELIEF” “MATERIAL BEHAVIOR” ARE VARIATIONS OF THE EXERCISES DEVELOPED AT IEU IN FALL/SPRING 2012/13 FOR FFD102 BASIC DESIGN II.

THEY ARE ASKED TO IDENTIFY THE ELEMENTS OF THE COMPOSITION AND ASSIGN “DEPTH” TO DIFFERENT AREAS. THE NEXT STEP IS TO REPRODUCE THEIR DRAWINGS BASED ON THE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH TWO MORE TIMES AND MAKE A NEW COMPOSITION. THE FINAL STEP IS TO USE THEIR STUDY OF “DEPTH” TO DESIGN A RELIEF AND ANALYZE TEXTURE. THE END PRODUCT IS A “PAVEMENT” COMPOSED OF INDIVIDUAL RELIEFS. FOLLOWING THE ORDERING PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN (RHYTHM, BALANCE, HIERARCHY, CONTRAST, ETC.) THE PAVEMENT MUST SHOW BOTH UNITY AND VARIETY, CREATING A CONTINUOUS SURFACE. ARCH 120 SPRING 2013 [ABSTRACTION/COMPOSITION] ARCH 120 SPRING 2013 [ABSTRACTION/COMPOSITION] ARCH120_2: STRUCTURE: TENSION/COMPRESSION: IN THIS EXERCISE STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT STRUCTURAL FORCES. THE AIM IS TO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND VISUAL BALANCE. BY WORKING WITH WOODEN STICKS, THUMBTACKS AND WOOL STRINGS, THEY ARE ASKED TO BUILD A SELF-STANDING TENSEGRITY MODULE. THE FIRST TASK IS TO APPLY WEAVING, PATCHING AND INTERLOCKING TECHNIQUES TO PARTIALLY COVER THIS UNIT. THE SECOND STEP IS TO INTRODUCE ADDITIONAL LINEAR ELEMENTS THAT WORK IN COMPRESSION. THE FINAL STEP IS TO PRODUCE MORE TENSEGRITY UNITS AND MAKE A COMPOSITION WITHIN A 40X40X40 CM CUBIC FRAME. THE UNITS ARE EXPECTED TO CREATE CONTINUOUS SURFACES AND THE COMPOSITION SHOULD BE BOTH VISUALLY AND STRUCTURALLY BALANCED.

THE SELF-STANDING UNIT WILL FUNCTION AS A LIGHTING DEVICE. THE USE OF ADHESIVE MATERIALS IS NOT ALLOWED; STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP CONNECTION DETAILS. THE AIMS OF THE EXERCISE ARE TWOFOLD: THE FIRST IS TO LEARN ABOUT THE MATERIAL BEHAVIOR. STUDENTS NEED TO MOBILIZE THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF STRUCTURAL FORCES TO SUCCESSFULLY WORK WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS WHICH WOULD OPERATE EITHER IN COMPRESSION OR TENSION. THE SECOND IS TO INTRODUCE “FUNCTION” AS A DESIGN PARAMETER: CREATING MULTIPLE LAYERS WITH DIFFERENT SURFACE QUALITIES TO CONTROL LIGHT.

THE TITLES AND ORGANIZERS OF THIS SEMESTER’S WORKSHOPS ARE AS FOLLOWS: “CUT-OUT ANIMATION”: CHRISTOPHER FERRARIS “TEXTURE VENTURE”: EMRE YILDIZ “WEAWING THE EXPERIENCE”: FIRAT NEZIROĞLU “DISMANTLING AND RECREATING”: HAKAN ERTEP “ART IN SPACE”: SARA BERTI “HEAD ARCHITECT”: ZEYNEP ORAL, ZEYNEP AKÇAY ARCH120 FINAL EXERCISE: FORM/RULE BASED DESIGN: IN THIS EXERCISE STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT “PROGRAM” AND “SITE” IN ADDITION TO FUNCTION. THE INITIAL STEP OF THE FINAL EXERCISE IS A WARM UP ASSIGNMENT WHERE “RULE BASED DESIGN” ARE INTRODUCED. USING FOUR RAIL CURVES, STUDENTS MORPH ONE GEOMETRIC SHAPE TO THE OTHER BY PASSING THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY SHAPE: THE END PRODUCT IS A “HYBRID OBJECT.” THE FINAL EXERCISE HAS THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION: IN 2100 AT A REMOTE PLACE IN A PLANET XYZ, THREE GEOMETRIC FORMS (A CIRCULAR PRISM, A RECTANGULAR PRISM AND A TRAPEZOIDAL PRISM) FELL ONTO THE PROJECT SITE. THE FIRST GOAL OF THIS EXERCISE IS TO LINK THESE FORMS TO OBTAIN A HYBRID OBJECT. THE NEXT GOAL IS TO DECOMPOSE THE HYBRID OBJECT AND RECOMPOSE IT TO DESIGN A MONUMENT TO NATURE. ARCH120 FINAL EXERCISE: FORM/RULE BASED DESIGN: HOW STUDENTS RESPOND TO THE IDEA OF NATURE (I.E., TO ENHANCE IT, TRANSFORM IT, GROW IT, PROTECT IT, INHABIT IT, EVADE IT) PROVIDES THE PROGRAM FOR THIS PROJECT. THE “MONUMENT” THAT STUDENTS WILL DESIGN WILL BE SEEN THROUGH AND/OR WALKED THROUGH. THE SIZE OF THE FINAL PRODUCT MAY VARY FROM URBAN FURNITURE TO A LARGE STRUCTURE OR SERIES OF SMALLER SPACES. BUT IT HAS TO BE LOCATED AT THIS SITE. FINALLY, THE “MONUMENT” SHOULD BE BASED ON AN EXPERIENCE OF MOVEMENT TOWARD CERTAIN DIRECTIONS, PROVIDE VARIOUS VIEWPOINTS, AND EVOKE DIFFERENT EMOTIONS ABOUT NATURE. STUDENTS ARE NOT BOUND WITH THE TYPICAL UNDERSTANDING OF NATURE ON EARTH; THEY CAN COME UP WITH ALTERNATIVE VISIONS.
