This is the video that I chose for the first assignment ''motion diagramming / the method''

In ''Spaces and Events'' essay by Bernard Tschumi, he states that architecture and events that happen in them cannot be separated from each other. They differ in different occasions and he says in his another article ‘’Murder in the Street, is different from murder in the cathedral’’ which i found when i was searching this subject and impressed me a lot. According to this article, Tschumi is uncomfortable with the change of the meaning of architecture which was turned into a system of surface signs at the risk of contrasting relationship of spaces and events. He wants us to question wheter there is a loss of innocence in architecture, and architects behave subjective according to their ideology or not. As for Tschumi, they ignore to question the nature of architecture but attribute a meaning to their buildings with metaphorical elements. He made me think about the photography as documentation of architecture by saying that reality can be manipulated by the maker of what has been done. Similarly, he states that stories can be manipulated easily and it makes sense to architects behave in the same way and with this explanation, he made somethings more clear and understandable. Some of the examples that he gives are very interesting and worth considering as well: ''pole vaulting in the chapel, sky diving in the elevator shaft and using Palladian arch for an athletic club altering both Palladio and the nature of the athletic event''. His idea about movement is also challenging, stating that body movements in space, the language of them and the language of walls are complementary.

Parkour/Architecture/Human Body/Movement

Some interesting photographs about parkour, architecture, human body, movement and so on.
                      The relationship between architecture and a human being.


                   The photograph above is indicated as architecture that inspires exercise.

Parkour and Movement of Human Body

These three videos show different parkours and different environments. But the common thing is that people who do it are very adapted to the surroundings.

Parasite

Exercise 2: Parasite

In this exercise, we worked as a group(group 14) and we were expected to design of a parasitic aggregate structure that volumetrically expands in space through the repetition of modular units of circle folds. The design is supposed to occupy a space or cover a surface which we choose in the faculty building and should accord to the minimum inventory – maximum diversity principle.

This is the element that we used in our design and we used three different dimensions of it:















And this is the place we chose:

This is the process :) 

This is the final work that we've done:

 

Working as a group was different than working individually but we were a good team and we shared the work, nobody was presurred to work and shouldered the whole :)

Phase 2: TRANSFORMATIONS: physical transformations for variation, definition of voids.

 

This phase of our works was the jury project. Firstly, we were expected to design elements types from two different basal element then make a 3D design with these element types by defining and organizing voids.

I have two main different groups and i have two groups for each type of groups. 

These are my two elements coming together for the first group. In my first group, the intersection types between two elements are the same and the group is formed by the combination of these intersections.

And these are the photographs of my groups:

                                                                  The First Group:

The Second Group:

I tried to combine these four (two-two) groups in such a way that it stands stable and define meaningful voids. But unfortunately the process and the final state aren't the same. And this is the process of my whole design:

And this is the final work:
