WEEK9 - Midterm Board & Entrance to the building phase

Mid term Board

Building Phase starts by determinating the spatial qualities that we want to have and determine a clear methodology development for the creation of the building phase.

The lines are the continuation of the visual corridors. With this way the project evolves into cells by different qualities. This is perfect since according to the scenario premodular building will become very popular in the future and this is just the perfect method for it.

These are the qualities and typologies of those small rectangular cells. After ths development the project will evolve depending on the sun angles. Facade will evolve from the sun analyses which according to the current data south and south east facades are expected to need more protection from sun.

ANOTHER GOALS:

Water Collection system

Usage of local materials.

WEEK 8 - Typology & Site Sections & Programme List & General Views

As been said in the pinup the typology part of the masterplan was missing. So some developments happened in order to catch up with this in this subject.

A typical view of a block from masterplan. The block itself contains small square blocks which are same in terms of design language however different thanks to their juxtaposition. The juxtaposition helps with breaking down the potential monotonous effect.

View of the small square blocks. A you can see the whole land is 20m x 20m which is quite useful in terms of planning thanks to its geometric shape. 

Detailed view of the units. Uunits are furnished and planned as simplistic as possible. There wont nbe much furniture of complexed interior spaces since according to future people will be looking and seacrhing for the basics.

Here the design language of the residentals are clearly understandable. Basic clean lines coming together with an modernistic understanding. It is as mod as summerhouses seen in vintage Palm Springs houses. MAD FOR MOD

SQUARE OF TRANSITION

2. Street view of the square of transition seen as a pedestrians perspective.

WEEK 7 - SQUARE OF TRANSITION - Programming, Case Studies, Scaling

Square of transition will be located in the entrance of Inciraltı project. It will be a public area and it has a philosophical meaning behind it since it is the first place that people will go before they will experience a transition in Inciralti masterplan.

The square is imagined to be place where people will hang out and experience a notion of public space where they might be influenced under a certain ideology. Judging by this understanding it is best this square to have a mixed use usage, bringing different usages together.

CASE STUDY 1

CASE STUDY 2

According to these examples it was clear how the square of transition will be formed in terms of scaling and programming

Sqm calculation of the building fottprints and public areas figureatively

There are some design objective in square of transition such as

 -Series of interlocking and cascading spaces,

-Unexpected connections and vistas

           - Overhang roofs

FACILITIES:

INCIRALTI VISITOR CENTRE: A place where people can learn about the history of the project, make their applications to stay, learn more about the ideology of the project.

BARS, RESTAURANTS,CAFES,SHOPS

GALLERY OF PAST: A gallery space which explains how future projections were made in the past and how they failed/succeed. Also it gives explanation on how people lived in a basic way in the past.

WATERFRONT OFFICES: Administrational offices

UCKUYULAR PIER/CRUISE TERMINAL?

Week 7 - PIN UP

Everything began with a Opportinities and threats analysis in order to understand the site and the vicinity well schemeatically. According to the analysis the most undesireable part of the site was the southwestern corner due to its closeness to the city (which is a chaotic and unwated place according to the scenario), lagoons provided a good environment for natural interaction and view, Inciralti city forest should stay as same as possible since it is one of the rarely natural left sites that are so close to city center.

Depending on the op/th analysis the placement of elements begin. Iıt was kinda like zoning approach but withouth too much strict limitations. It was more for deciding on the locations in a logical way.

STEP 1 - Just creating the building row depending on a logical way which would hug the winds.

STEP 2 - Creating wind corridors depending on the dominant wind locations in the Inciraltı region which is north and northeast.

SQUARE OF TRANSITION

Square of transition is the project site. It has a philosophical understanding behind it; it is the first place when people will be entering Inciralti - just like the first portal for transition. Transition of people, transition of their well being...

The square has also a philosophical understanding behind it in terms of form-wise, there are big overhang roof over the small structures refers to the "shelter" idea in a basic understanding.

Final version of the pin up poster.

Week 6 - Masterplan Finalization & Landscaping

Masterplan phase moves foward with the finalization of the elements being placed in a logical manner. As you can see residentals are placed along the waterfront for the high desireability of the location while the utilities are placed on the southwestern corner of the side which is the most isolated location in the project area. Üçkuyular Pier and Marina which is redeveloped is integrated very well with the entire plan.

Opportunities and Threats

Development of the masterplan showing the development step by step

Landscaping will be a crucial element in the masterplan. There will be several types of landscaping in the plan located in specific regions.

Gardens District

This specific district will be between the residentals and well-being areas. This district will have a certain landscaping strategy. It is all about bringing different types of landscaping elements together with an extreme understanding

Combination of different landscaping elements placed with an extreme understanding

Hills District

Hills are located on the southern side of the side in order to block the urban view which will be quite undesireable in the future depending on the projected scenario.

Green hills will be walkable which can be used for walkways and observational purposes.

Final Version of Masterplan

A place for the future citizens of Izmir...

A multicultural people formation living in harmony..
