The project is in the Ostim, Ankara cover all peole and presents sleeping,eating,running,breathing,playing games such as basketball,tennis,voleyball, doing sport and many kinds activities to people who choose live in the structure. The people live in the structure temporarly and persons have stablished lockers in the building. There are special lockers that people have. The lockers are located nect to facades and transition, wet floor, kitchen works in these parts as well.

In that assignment, we asked to work about scale to bed. A standart bed measurements are 90*200 and that images, drawings all begins with a single bed.Then, multiplied,scaled and resized the bed. After these operations, beds provided new functions expect for only sleeping. Ground, table, tend, bazaar, book case ot like it something etc… Many things are created after scaling, multiplying and resizing.

We are 3 friends and that’s our firm’s logo. In this semester, we work as a group and represent our project together. In this semester, we analyse Ostim, Ankara where is industrial area. We work to design about 120-160 housings on the area in Ostim.

New Empiricism addresses the simple observations and questions of everyday life. A good starting point is the “Introduction to New Empiricism” and “Time and conscious experience” treats the subject in more depth. If you find yourself bridling at the novelty of this approach and feel it should be dismissed try “Perceiving perception” and “Materialists should read this first” which provide arguments about why you might believe your own experience. Our conscious experience is a projective geometrical space and projective geometry was developed to describe it so that artists could produce a convincing appearance for their pictures. Physics in three dimensions will not be adequate for a description of a projective space such as our experience. Many people have spotted that there is a difference between physical theory and the reality of experience but it would be nice to see more people adapting physical theory to remove the difference.

As a brief expression of Experiencing Architecture, the chapter of ‘’Basic Observations’’ can be good example and summary of whole book with its good examples. The first point is while you are reading, you can easily sense that everybody can understand the topic whether he/she is an architect or not. The book was written for everyone without any exceptions because even a child can understand. Without any doubt, the text is very understandable for all in terms of context and contend.Rasmussen says; ‘’Architecture is produced by ordinary people, for ordinary people; therefore it should be easily comprehensible to all.’’

Second point is, the New Empiricism movement contain all book. As it is mentioned earlier, Rasmussen believes on the whole, art and fields of art shouldn’t explain, they must be experienced. The purpose is very clear throughout the book.

According to Rasmussen, architecture is kind of fine arts and with comparing architecture with other types of arts like painting and sculpture, the difference between them are very clear he says. All of them play with forms and masses but painting and sculpture appeal to the eyes but architecture is the only functional art among of them. Architecture solves practical problems and it is utility. Therefore, Rasmussen gives feature and casts to architecture an important role.

In briefly, Steen Eiler Rasmussen says in his book that you must experience architecture, it is not enough to see architecture. He claims that observation is important to understand that how the building was designed for a special purpose and how it was attuned to the entire concept and rhythm of a specific era. He claims that architect must be aware of the textural effects, discover why just those colors were used, how the choice depended on the orientation of the rooms in relation to windows and the sun.

Then he tells about children’s game as an example. Rasmussen says that most children have the desire to build some sort of shelter and he tells the steps of it and children’s experimentation. Children creates enclosed spaces while they surrounding the space according to specific era and they dwell it. And this – to bring order and relation into human surroundings- is the task of the architect.

Gropius House is the main reference to design the project. I quoted site and tectonic features of Gropius House. The house which I designed is in a forest and it is related with environment thanks to ribbon windows. Ribbon window is a common point on my references; Villa Stein, Villa Savoye, Gropius House. The horizontal row of windows to dissolve the boxed volume of the building and usage of daylight in the most efficient way. In Villa Savoye, there is pilotis which is one of five principles of Le Corbusier. I quoted that, as well. And I used the new area as garage which becomes to exist under mass.

The plan of Gropius House is made based on the concept of simplicity. I referred the concept as my main strategy and I designed spaces of the house according to concept of simplicity. Walter Gropius divides different zones on Gropius House. Gropius House consists of three different parts that service, circulation and public as you see

the diagrams of Gropius House at the top of the poster. I referred it while I was creating spaces for the house. I separated public and service areas and circulation works on different zone.

There are two different types of terrace on the house which I designed. On the west side is coming from Gropius House. Terrace of Gropius Hose is in different zone. I translated it. Ceiling of the terrace has openings which provides light. And, the other terrace which is on south side seems a part of the floor and it has a stairs which connects the second floor(terrace) and ground that the feature is coming from Villa Stein. It is an alternative way to arrive environment. The house mainly designed to maximize relation interior of the house and exterior spaces, environment thanks to horizontal windows and alternative stairs. Ground floor is more public, first floor aims to maximize the privacy such as private bathrooms, bedrooms.

Scenario: The House is designed for politician and academician couple and their 2 children. The family is addicted to read books therefore there are bookcases almost all rooms. There is a library on the ground floor which can be used as discussion and study are as well. In the adult bed room, there is a study area which is separated by a column and bookcase.
