Idea projektu

Architecture students work at an intense pace and need a space suitable for this work pace. This structure also wants to meet these needs.Designed for architecture students, this structure is planned to function as a part of the Faculty of Architecture. While the campus ecosystem is the Faculty of Architecture as an organism, the study area acts as a cell. In this context, it is desired that each section of the structure functions like cell organelles and meets all the needs of the students. It is planned that this structure will help architecture students with appropriate conditions and time management to carry out their projects in the most efficient way. For example, instead of going to the stationery store for materials and spending time to have laser cutting done, the student uses the material storage and laser machines already in the structure, or the student does not have to go home to rest and rests in the sleeping capsules in the structure. In this way, all the needs of the student for the project are met without leaving the structure. In this context, the structure is designed like a living organism.

Popis projektu

Glass was used on the front facade of the building, so that it is possible to see the work areas and exhibitions in the building without entering and understand what the building is used for.
At the entrance of the building, there is an exhibition and event area. Then there is the cafeteria with vending machines, microwave ovens and kettles. There are studios for students to study, individual and group study areas, as well as sleeping cabins where students can rest.
There are also units where students can find digital items, model materials and laser cutting machines that they need for their projects. Some of these model materials are new, while others consist of stored materials that can be reused.
The 1 meter elevation difference on the land was solved with wide stairs and an open area was designed for events.
