Twist

Project idea

In every day that we breath, the world always changes to keep it’s dynamics and that changes effects our habitat too whether in a good or bad way. The Project “Twist” is created and progressed with the idea of cultivating new habitats concept . It is a living and production area project which based in Çan,Çanakkale.

Project description

The thermal power plants that are locate nearby in Çan are lowered the production capability level. In order to rebuild that production efficiency there should be a “new” production and living solutions and the best way is that, preventing destruction of natural resources. A new technique “soilless agriculture” is an advantage for area and that term is one of the centeralized issue in project due to gain yield in a unit area. The purpose of the project is simple. It focuses the connection of “production and living”. So that, “toweration” idea is used. The houses which are on the top floors of the towers will living areas for people and while these people lives in their homes, they can also being productive and make production in the down floors of the towers. Other areas of the towers (outside) are public sphere that opens to visitors to visit production areas. Whereby Çan district have a huge forests, the project inspired from that forests and aims to enlarge forests to repair damaged areas. In addition , it also gives opportunity to visitors not just to stay closed in general area. As the visitors wishes, they can walk around in the forest to stay fresh and healthy. Water is taken from the river with the structures on the water. The cleaned water is transferred to the storage towers in the area by the pipes under the roads at different heights. These towers are also delivered to the towers where production is made. With the roads created on the ground floor, it is aimed to spread the circulation to the whole area. There are also service routes that are allowed to enter the vehicle only in emergency situations. It is designed not to interfere with the circulation of vehicles in the whole area.

Technical information

The aim of adding new structures or removing existing ones, the structure is interdependent. Clt wood was used in the flooring of the houses. The interlocking structure also facilitates the assembly of soilless agricultural materials with the logic of production.
