A little on what's happening at KHAS Mimarlık 2nd Year Design - on beginnings that are innately many, messy and fruitfully disorganized.

Cheers!

Yarın akşam Aura İstanbul Beşiktaş’ta, bir Suare Sohbeti!

Şahsi bir ara veya bir olasılık mekanı olarak Mesafeler, Anlamanın ve Hatırlamanın araçları olarak Çizgiler, ve Eylemin yada Yapmanın bir takım dönüştürücü güçleri..

İlk kez tanışmak veya oluşmuş bazı mesafelerde tekrardan tanışmak, birlikte konuşmak, ve hepinizle görüşmek dileğiyle!

Tomorrow evening at AURA, Besiktas!

A talk about various kinds of distances, with their parting ways and as a certain sort of opening where things may re-connect; lines that help understanding & remembering things; and certain acts that are both architectural and transformative..

See you all there - so we can meet, or meet again in the course of many distances, and talk together.

Should be fun!

TIME: 7.30 PM

RELOCATIONS // ALLOCATIONS: "OTHER • PLACES"

Hello All!

Although it is great to have a DURSTUDIO community here, gathering and interacting around the work we do (teaching and professional goodies) - I need to inform you that some of the content will be featured in another page I also manage. Especially the former, mostly school-related work, I am relocating those good stuff to a different place - for I am also a FT faculty member in an institution - that seemed fitting and rather professional.

And it is a locale even predates DURSTUDIO - a personal / scholarly blog that I've publishing since 2012 >> Other • Places (web: www.otherplaces.us)

I'd like to invite you all to like and follow the "O • P" and visit the website from time to time - where I would be writing in depth and often theoretically; reflecting on the works, teaching experiments and scholarly leads of my personal practice. There are already couple of posts in place. Hope you'll enjoy them!

Various content and updates like travels, events, project news and work imagery will be on this page - as a direct reflection of what we do at DURSTUDIO.

So we MAKE here, and we REFLECT & MUSE at there: https://www.facebook.com/otherplaces.us

Cheers and let's keep this up!

REMEMBERING MAY // The AGU Arch. Studio Takeover

Here are some pics and views from our recent Studio Takeover at AGU School of Architecture, back in Kayseri. Following a week of actual project reviews, we had a chance to reflect on their communication skills, right upon the printed works, and with no deadline pressure and hermetic tendencies whatsoever :)

Color codes, visual characteristics, the importance of being singled out & uniqueness; the 'transformative' instances of architectural drawings & their much subjective quality, diagrams, line-weights and layouts..all of it over the table.

Following the desk crits, a small and spontaneous lecture through my past work; looking at examples of representation, development of ideas, 'parallel inquiries', Google Images, words, models and customized drawings.

Always nice to have them big and on the screen; sharing their underlying stories with individuals and re-discovering them altogether.

Thanks to the AGU Faculty & Community for their invitation, and to the eager students of 2nd & 3rd Year Design for a great & productive couple of days. Hoping to comeback soon and catch up with everyone !

The Faculty of Architecture of AGU was kind enough to invite me once again to engage with the students and for contemplation over representational techniques & visual communication. It is now time for post-reviews. Can't wait to see some great work and meet rest of the faculty !

How personal it is for that every city has its own sense of flatness or not, and thus its own silhouette, and on a much clear day like today, has it's own sunset; that is, a very personal way of ending things, that of the Kayseri Flat.

Rediscovering AGU after 1,5 years; pieces added & restorations completed. New with the Old, Projections over the Remaining, and a great collection spatial experiences; intimacy and a true sense of humanly scale, belonging to another time. A museum of scales, if you will.

(Part of the photos are w/ ipad, apologies for fluctuating sense of focus. Shots of the sunset tomorrow ✌🏼)
