ARCH 102 INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN / Knots and Flows





For this assignment, we observed the Main Alley for a whole day and we analyzed the avtivities such as walking, watching and waiting. After this analyze, we made 2d and 3d maps in order to combine the information we had got such as the shadow configuration of the site, people's movement, waitin areas and durations, sometimes the weather conditions. After having made the maps, we made an intervention (by folding as the construction method) which meet the human needs such as providing shadow on top of waiting areas.


This is the first (2.5d) map. Different textures were used in order to differentiate the activities, and also different colors for different hours. The path like shape is showing the movement and crowd of people according to thier thickness in different hours. The colored acetate is used for the shadow in different times. And the other colored patches are used to indicate the waiting spaces and show the crowd.

This 2d map is to show the line of vision. The green areas are for people walking thtough the alley, and the pink ones are to show the ones who are waiting.


The first folding proposal as intervention.


This is the second try :) We made only a top surface where people can walk under it, and also a thicker top surface where people usually wait standing in front of the library (on the left). Then we made both top and floor surfaces in order people to sit on it and the top part provide shadow for them to sit under.

This is the second intervention.
