In the MIM121 Architectural Design I "Starting in the Middle" studio group, which we conducted in the 2023-2024 fall semester at Gebze Technical University, we aimed to question how architecture establishes and transforms the relations between human and non-human worlds under the theme "Umwelt: Building a World".

After the coup attempt on July 15, 2016, the Turkish state started to produce a new official history of the event as a narrative of popular resistance against a military coup for the sake of democracy. This narrative with a religious aura was supported by “democracy watch” meetings and new commemoration days, museums, and monuments across Turkey. I...
Construction site is a third kind of space, which has the potential of rendering the gap between the space of architects (mental and optical space of professionals) and the architectural space (socially constructed place).

D-100 state highway (still E-5 in everyday language) which is remembered mostly due to
traffic accidents was in fact an important transportation backbone and infrastructure investment, which totally changed the macroform of post-Prost Istanbul. D-100 highway
was completed in 1973 with the opening of the Bosphorus Bridge and its connecting freeways;...
Rem Koolhaas's 1994 text titled "Bigness" has created a discussion around the themes of autonomy, urbanization and neoliberalism since that time. However is it still possible today to make use of this conceptual tool in order to understand and transform big buildings which are still produced in large quantities by neoliberalism? I will make a rough...
