ÖRÜNTÜLER, GEOMETRİLER VE TASARIM

Tarih:13 Kasım 2009 Cuma, 14:00-17:00

Yer:YEM, Fulya

Konuşmacılar:

Zafer Sağdıç - Matematik ve Tasarım İlişkisi

Salih Küçüktuna - Sayısal Estetik

Karmaşık olaylar, olgular ya da nesnelerin diziliminin ardında çözümlenebilecek ve yeniden kurgulanabilecek kurallar ya da kavranabilir düzenler yatar. Bu kurallar ve düzen genellikle bir şablon kadar katı ve belirgin olmasa da bir ‘dikiş patronu’ gibi ana prensipleri ortaya çıkaracak nitelikte, ilişkisel ve matematikseldir. Bu anlamda örüntüler, doğadaki oluşum prensiplerinden kentlerdeki dizilimlerin ardındaki düzenlere uzanan örneklemleriyle mimarlık alanını neredeyse varoluşundan beri ilgilendirmekte. Bilgisayar destekli tasarım ve üretim teknolojileriyle sayısallaştırılabilen veriler, veriler arası ilişkiler, düzenler ve kurallar tasarımda “örüntü” ve “geometri” kavramlarının yeniden sorgulanmasını tetiklemekte ve yeni açılımlar sağlamaktadır. 2009-10 güz yarıyılı YTÜ Mimari Tasarıma Giriş Stüdyoları Program Akışı içinde yer alacak bu söyleşi ile bu yeni açılımlar sorgulanacaktır.

SATOPTICON (2005) at Istanbul Museum of Modern Art Video Program

Nowadays, a Video exhibition called ''When Angels Fall'' in Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. A remarkable video by Jaroslaw Kozakiewicz includes an architectural point of view. Unit-E was there and took some notes from the exhibition for you. Some details as below,

11 September 2009 - 10 January 2010

Curator: Paolo Colombo

The title of this program comes from the short film by Roman Polanski When Angels Fall (1959)

SATOPTICON

Satopticon is the project of a circumterrestrial-orbit prison of the future; it was presented for the first time at the Panopticon. The Architecture and Theatre of the Prison exhibition at the Zachęta National Gallery in Warsaw.

‘In the second half of the 21st century, a huge leap was made in genetics, nanotechnology and robotics. It finally became possible to fulfil man’s dream of returning to paradise. Poverty was eliminated, all known diseases cured, people were physically rejuvenated, and robotic technology made them virtually immortal. But there still existed the problem of the neo-Luddites and other apostates refusing to adapt to living in the new earthly paradise. To address the problem in a humanitarian way, the Satopticon was designed – a global prison to be located on Earth’s orbit. In its form, the prison alluded to the first human colony that had been supposed to be set up in space. The project, known as the Stanford Torus, dated back to the 1970s. The Satopticon’s construction was a reference to the structure of the carbon nanopipe, a material that, thanks to its immense resistance to ripping and unusual electric properties, had revolutionised 21st-century electronic and become a symbol of the new era. The closed pipe forms a torus, and its surface is covered by hexagonal structures in which the cells have been located. The construction, which resembles a net, is also an intelligent robot controlling the facility’s operation – reducing or increasing the number of cells and the length of the torus itself, depending on the needs. This means that the operation of the facility – Earth’s artificial satellite – does not require the physical presence of human personnel. Functions such as inmate supervision, database operation, medical care, supplies, visits, waste utilisation, and technical upkeep are coordinated from Earth. Each cell has been equipped with two windows, one letting in sunlight, the other offering a view of the distant Earth. Each inmate is able to view the blue planet for several hours a day. The view of Earth and the lack of gravity would aid the inmates’ moral renewal. Technology kept developing, and the changes brought about by that development were occurring ever more rapidly. Machines more intelligent and efficient than people had been built, and they relieved humans at their tasks in all areas of life, until they gained full control of their conscience. Robots took control of the natural world, including the replication and evolution processes across the planet. Eventually, the last reactionaries were adapted to the new living conditions in the earthly paradise. Universal order prevailed. There was no need for building the prison anymore.’

Geometry of Inside (2005) Jaroslaw Kozakiewicz

In collaboration with Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart

Geometry of the Inside is the project of a metropolitan cinema. The building could be located nearby the Zacheta Gallery, the National Theatre, and the Metropolitan office building, fitting the architectural and cultural context of the Pilsudski Square. The shape of the building has been derived from an over 8 hour-long recording of the involuntary movements of a sleeping young woman. Her bodily movements were recorded by a computer and transformed into interweaving lines – the image of the attractor. In physics, the attractor is a ‘set of physical properties towards which a system tends to evolve regardless of the starting conditions of the system.’ The term, originally used in the theory of dynamic systems, has also proved useful in sociology and ecology. In Kozakiewicz’s project, the attractor describes the movements of the sleeping figure, plotted with lines drawn from the woman’s bodily orifices. The grid so obtained has been transformed into an irregular, sculptural figure that, properly enlarged, becomes an architectural form. Geometry of the Inside explores the, seemingly untranslatable to the language of architecture, phenomena of movement and change. The building’s walls will be semi-transparent to make it possible to project images directly on them, both inside and outside, erasing the division between the private (inside) and public (outside). The continuity of the private (dream) and public (reality) spheres is already present at the project’s preparatory stage. By employing outer-wall screens, the object engages accidental passers-by who at any moment can become viewers of a projection. The use of walls as screens also means that the building’s shape has not been determined once and for all; the projected images will co-determine the building’s appearance and make it unique. Geometry of the Inside isn’t a static figure but a changeable form shaped by visual information.

Ve 168 öğrenci…

Eğitim Projelerinin Kurum Dışına Açılması ve
Karşılaşma Mekanlarına Duyulan İhtiyaç
Eğitimin, artık, sadece kurum içinde yürütülen bir etkinlik değil, dış dünyayla ilk günden itibaren etkileşim içinde olan ve yaşam boyu süren bir süreç olması nedeniyle bu süreci oluşturan ortamların ve ürünlerinin okul içinde ‘sınırlı’ kalması yerine tartışma-geri bildirim için kamuya, diğer eğitim ortamlarına ve kişilere açılması önemlidir.
Bu süreç ve ürünlerin, tam da mimarlık eğitiminin başlangıcında, değerlendirmeye, eleştiriye ve tartışmaya açılması ögrencilerin düşünsel, sosyal, ruhsal donanımlarını destekleyecek ve onlara bir "başlangıç" ivmesi verecektir.
YEM in, mimarlık pratiğini, mimarlık eğitimini ve kamuyu bir araya getiren ve karşılaşmayı sağlayan bir merkez olması bu ilk adımın burada atılmasında önemli olmuştur.

Bu sergi+kolokyumda, kitlesel eğitim nedeniyle gruplara bölünerek yürütülen stüdyolar arası iletişim ve etkileşim ortamlarının sorgulama, tartışma, geri bildirim ortamına dönüştürülmesi ve diğer mimarlık okulları ile ilk yıl mimarlık eğitimi üzerine tartışmanın başlatılabilmesi hedeflenmektedir.

project jouberton



In September 2008, two hundred second year students studying Architecture at the University of Nottingham's Institute of Architecture were briefed by Education Africa to design a sustainable nursery school for Jouberton, an impoverished township near Klerksdorp in South Africa, 250km South West from Johannesburg. 
In December a panel of tutors and lecturers from the Institute of Architecture long listed the eighteen strongest proposals, three of which were chosen for further development. A team of thirty students consisting of twenty eight 2nd years and eight 5th years were selected to detail the overall winning scheme as well as taking up responsibility for fundraising, sourcing building materials and making travel arrangements to South Africa where they physically built the nursery.

John Maeda: My journey in design, from tofu to RISD


Maeda grew up working in his father's tofu factory and like all creatives, his parents told him not to be creative. Instead he majored in math at MIT, but he just so happened to start working when computers got visual. He became a self-professed "icon master" until he discovered Paul Rand. And realized how bad he was at design. So he went to design school. He started learning how to make his design work move and flail about on the screen and his design teachers told him to stop it. And it was right around then he noticed a now-famous quote from Rand: "A Yale student said, 'I came here to learn how to design, not to learn how to use a computer.' Design schools take heed."
he says: "It's not about making the world more technological anymore, it's about how to make it more humane again."

Unit - E | Workshop Series I








Unit-e / unit9 Bartlett School of Architecture Discussions 19th of January at YTU Istanbul



BSc Unit 9 Max Dewdney and Chee-Kit Lai
Programme 08-09: Alter Ego

The term alter ego; (latin for “the other I”) coined by psychologists in the 19th century and popularised by the psychoanalytic movement, is said to refer to a second self or double psychological life. The alter ego is often used to describe identical characters within literature and film and is also used as a tool to analyse the relationship between a character and it’s author. Alter ego is the creation of an imagined other self, making a parallel or imagined universe, or second life, both absent and present.
The architecture of alter ego will explore multiple identities and layered memories of place. We will investigate the spaces of heterotopia, that are neither here nor there, spaces that are simultaneously physical and metaphysical. In exploring the multifaceted psychological, literary, artistic and cultural dimensions of alter ego, Unit Nine aims to delineate a non linear architecture of duality. We will investigate duplicated and mirrored spaces as a means of posing questions of scale and authenticity.
The concept of alter ego also encompasses ideas about the relationship between an original and its copy and of parallel spaces thus creating two figures within a figure, two references within a reference, or two cities within a city. We will focus our spatial explorations of alter ego on Istanbul or Constantinople, which has historically been a city of otherness to Northern European Capitals and which marked an edge of Europe a point of confluence for Europe and Asia. Istanbul will form the site for the main building project this year.
Assemblage12 weeks (Sept - Dec) / Project 1
The assignment for the first project is to assemble a spatial architectural interpretation from a piece(s) of fictional or non-fictional narrative derived from the city of Istanbul. Unit Nine will delve into the ancient and the modern in search of the mirror between the two. Using myths, mystical maps, travelogues, journeys across land, sea and continents (eg. The Orient Express, Flaubert, Gautier, Le Corbusier1, etc.) and trade routes which once made Istanbul the global centre of exchange. We will draw from the spectacle of cultural assemblage between the East and West, Asia and Europe. We will investigate cities within cities, such as that from Rome reborn in Constantinople from Byzantium, or Constantinople within Istanbul. We will appropriate, uncover or reuse spaces making them our own (such as the Hagia Sophia – Church/Mosque/Museum), gaze at heroic wars such as the 1453 fall of Constantinople (or conquest of Istanbul), borrowing their spatial strategies. We will use literature, film and theatre to reveal clues of the double identity of characters, scripts, or plots expressed through spatial patterns. We will search for the alternative versions of history within our found narratives for the architectural spatial quality of otherness.
Assemblage will span the first term, and consist of a focused and obsessive investigation into a new way to reveal Istanbul’s undiscovered identities. Your assemblage will have a real site in London that will allow you to test the intervention. The qualities and conditions of use defined by your chosen London site will act as a lens to define, contrast, or question the selection of your Istanbul narrative. The first half of assemblage will be workshop based, where your intuitive processes and accidental discoveries may reveal unimagined truths. The final stage of assemblage requires the use of time media to capture and create the movement and performance of your proposal, using video, stop frame animation, or film. Your assemblage should result in a series of flickering and magical images of duplicitous movement and imagination not in the design of a static object or building.
Second year students will present their found narrative as a site-specific installation or device. Third year students will build a model (to scale) that contains their found narrative, projected across a site in London.
Istanbul1 week (Jan) / Field Trip
The architecture of alter ego can be seen as the meeting of East and West, of Asia and Europe, of Istanbul and Constantinople contained within one place.
“It was a brutal symbiosis: Western observers love to identify the things that make Istanbul exotic, non-Western, whereas the Westernisers amongst us register all the same things as obstacles to be erased from the face of the city as fast as possible.” (Orhan Pamuk, ‘Istanbul: Memories and the City’, 2005, p218)
Foresight16 weeks (Jan - May) / Project 2
The second project entitled Foresight will be Unit Nine’s main architectural building project of the year, sited in Istanbul. Your proposal will present an architecture of alter ego, one that questions identity (physical and/or programme). It will be a complex public-private building that draws ideas from the first exercise and site in Istanbul, in order to define a scheme that has not only an outward appearance of an enclosed building but an inner character or possibly double state of mind drawn from the layers of history, shifting patterns of weather, pollution or the picturesque ruins of the city.
