A work of architecture which I would like to experience in person

I would like to visit Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye in Poissy. The iconic building is the prototype of the International Style. The reason that the Villa Savoye interests me so much is because it is the realization of Corbusier's five points of architecture. It emphasizes how we should re-design buildings to be functional, flexible and modern. I think it is a timeless building that captures how to use a space beneficial. Pilotis are the most fascinating part of the building. The idea to lift the building over pilotis frees the ground floor for the circulation of people and vehicles. I love the idea and appearance of the pilotis in this building, they complete each other.

My own review of a recent exhibition or building that I have visited

Image
  I have recently visited the Isbank Painting Sculpture Museum in Istanbul. With its mix of historic facade and contemporary core structure, the renovated building presents over a hundred years of history and spatial atmosphere. The newly built core structure connects the floor and historical shell while layering the exhibition floors. The shell consists of light colors while the core highlights darkness; however the historical staircase which lies on the center of the new core breaks the contrast between protected shell and new core. I used artline in this piece to emphasize the specialities of the museum. The historical structure can be seen through the clean lines and details.

Cave House- 3D Model

Image
In this model, my aim was to bring my red cube cave house to life. As seen in my process, I used materials like model cardboard, styrofoam and plexiglas for my 3D model. By styrofoam, I made the appearance of cave and rock formations. Red color was also a significant choice to relate Bell’s red cube design. So my final work is a cave house made of red cube shapes surrounded by fairy chimneys and rocks.

Green Building Nursing Home Project

This green building retirement home project combines sustainable design and provides a peaceful, eco-friendly living environment. I used cardboards for my house, wood sticks as columns and architectural furnishing. First, I did sketches of my building and plan of the building. Then, I started to shape cardboards in an order and finalized my project by adding architectural furnishing and figures. In terms of finalization of my project, I went to a retirement home to gather information about how to apply this design into reality.
