Projenin Tanımı: Uluslararası Müzeler Konseyi’ne (ICOM) göre müze “İnsanlığın ve çevresinin eğitim, çalışma ve eğlenme amaçları için, somut ve somut olmayan mirası koruyan, araştıran, ileten ve sergileyen, topluma ve gelişimine hizmet eden, halka açık, kâr amacı gütmeyen, kalıcı bir kurumdur.” Yukarıdaki tanım göz önüne alındığında, bir müzenin işlevi sergileri düzenlemek ve koleksiyonları korumakla sınırlı değildir. Mimari olarak müzeler, bu deneyim alanlarındaki sergilere ve etkileşimlere önemli ölçüde anlam katar. Aynı koleksiyonun farklı müze bağlamlarında farklı algılanması ve farklı tepkiler vermesi çok muhtemeldir. Ayrıca müzeler kamu hizmeti kurumları olarak içinde bulundukları kültür ve sosyal hayatın ayrılmaz bir parçasıdır. Bilgiyi yayarlar, öğrenmeyi ve gelişmeyi teşvik ederler, empati kurarlar ve insanların yaşam kalitesini artırırlar. Proje kapsamında Bornova Belediyesi ile entegrasyon yapılarak Belediyenin bu misyonları ve sekiz stratejik hedefi dikkate alınarak hem INAR 4410 hem de 4420 öğrencilerinden Bornova ilçesi için bir müze tasarlamaları istenmektedir.

The course focuses on the remodelling process of Ada Casino. It was built in 1937 as a milk and tea garden for families on an island on the artificial lake. It takes its name from the island created by the excavations that came out during the creation of the lake. In the 1940s, it was converted into a restaurant in accordance with the trends of the entertainment industry. In 1958, it was redesigned by Rıza Aşkan to better fulfill this function and rebuilt as a concrete and glass structure. The flowing forms of the design, integrated with the curvilinear landscape of the island, reflect the modern architectural aesthetic, while its social function has played an important role in the construction of the Western lifestyle. As a Modern Architecture Heritage, it is one of the rare examples of entertainment venues of the Republic Period. Students were asked to redesign the casino structure with Design Strategy and Tactics by integrating social and cultural oriented functions.

Proje Tanımı: According to Oxford English Dictionary, community can be defined as the people who live in a particular area and can also be used to define the feeling of sharing things and belonging to a group in the place where you live. Therefore, community centres are community service institutions that operate in a localised way to bring people together to connect with, learn from and contribute to their community through social, educational, recreational and support activities. Due to the fact that communities have existing strengths and assets that can make them part of the solution, these centres can respond a range of issues and opportunities within communities. They have the potential to achieve important outcomes for communities, including the reduction of social isolation, increase in civic participation and the sense of belonging, improvement of knowledge and skills and enhancement of social capital. By considering these definitions, both INAR 4410 and INAR 4420 students are asked to design a community centre for the district of Bornova. The students will decide the main function of the centre on the basis of given strategic goals of the Bornova Municipality.

The design proposal must be focused on the importance of having a well-designed interior layout that caters to community with different age/gender groups. 3 different phases comprising the contents of the projects are defined as:

“CONCEPTUAL: research and concept idea,”

“ACTIVITY PROPOSALS FOR CITTASLOW COMMUNITY: designing containers and interiors,” and

“CONTEXTUAL: creating semi-open and open spaces.”

First Phase

Students will analyse and understand the relationships between Cittaslow philosophy, community-engagement, social activities, container space in terms of ergonomics, context characteristics in terms of user profile, physical conditions and local characteristics. After that, concept idea will be improved by referring some of the sources such as Cittaslow philosophy, context references, village characteristics, natural features, etc.

Second Phase

According to the user profile, activity types and concept idea students will design interiors of the containers by working on the trials of a minimum space necessary for diverse functions and provided the space with comfort for compact, flexible, transformable design proposals. Students will create their own projects by improving interior design issues and supporting their concept ideas with innovative solutions. They will determine the ‘mood’ of the space (furnishing elements, lighting fixtures, textures, colors, and ambiance) in order to define the design language and to accomplish from a physical point of view the re-designing task.

Third Phase

As the containers will be located on the parcels in the Kuşçular Village Urla, students will design outdoor areas by creating inside-outside relationships with transition spaces (open, semi-open areas).

INAR 2220 students are expected to design a poshtel in the given building. The term poshtel refers to upscale/luxury hostels that deliver the style and comfort of boutique hotels, while staying in the price range of hostels. A ‘poshtel’ – otherwise known as an upscale hostel – combines the style and comfort of a boutique hotel with the price and sensibilities of a hostel. Poshtels deliver an elevated experience for guests, through the use of contemporary and stylish aesthetics, and high-tech facilities. This new breed of hostels is attracting a wider range of audiences and travellers and is perfect for the Posh packer.

Main themes for creating alternative side activities are grouped under the three titles:

Healing & Nutrition
- Food bloggers, chefs, wellness center, mindfulness, yoga, meditation
Literature and Academia
- Students, academicians, writers
Artists & Creatives, Entrepreneurs
- Start-up entrepreneurs, makers, influencers, bloggers, youtubers, game designers, actresses, caps-moji, podcast.

With this aim, it is expected to design accommodation units, service spaces and additional spaces where creativity-promoting activities can be carried out. In order to achieve a flexible and mobile design, the solution is to create a modular system which can also be adaptable and reusable. The modular system will let the students to re-form their private and communal areas to suit group and individual needs.

Students are required to design private spaces –two different types/sizes of accommodation units- and communal areas to suit group and individual needs.

INAR 2210 students are expected to design a co-working space for different user groups in the given building. They will explore new generation co-working spaces and create their own program for one of the themes. The actual use of the word “coworking” in relation to a shared office environment was first used by Brad Neuberg in 2005. He was an intrepid entrepreneur with big dreams who created the first coworking space, as we know it today, in San Francisco (https://www.coworker.com/lab/what-is-coworking/).

Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared workplace, often an office, and independent activity. Typically, it is attractive to work-at-home professionals, independent contractors, independent scientists or people who travel frequently who end up working in relative isolation. Co-working spaces allow the self-employed to lap up the benefits of social interaction, but with fewer distractions than a coffee shop.

Co-working spaces are generally ideal for start-up businesses and entrepreneurs looking for a better alternative to working from home. These spaces are often home to freelancers, some of whom are just getting their name out and are not tied to any specific business or industry. The benefits to these spaces are that they afford start-ups with an opportunity to stay lean, an inexpensive avenue for community and collaboration, as well as a lively and dynamic atmosphere that inspires productivity. The core values of co-working are community, openness, collaboration, sustainability, and accessibility (https://www.wunsystems.com/blog/differences-coworking-shared-spaces/).

Keywords (2210): co-working space design, user profile, target group, activity types for cafeterias and co-working areas, meeting and attraction point, concept idea, design guiding ideas.

According to the International Council of Museums (ICOM), a museum is “a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment.”

Given the definition above, the function of a museum is not limited to curating exhibits and conserving collections. Architecturally, museums significantly add meaning to the exhibits and interactions in these spaces of experience. It is very likely that the same collection will be perceived and responded differently in different museum contexts. Moreover, museums, as public service institutions, are integral to the culture and social life within which they exist. They disseminate information, foster learning and development, builds empathy and increase the quality of people’s lives. By considering these missions, students are asked to design a museum for the city of Izmir.

While students are asked to decide the exhibit and exhibition method for the museum, they should include the following spaces in their design (other spaces that are related to the exhibit and exhibition method can also be included):

a) an entrance space including an information desk and a cloakroom (10% of the total meter square);
b) a shop (5% of the total meter square);
c) a café (10% of the total meter square);
d) administrative offices (5% of the total meter square);

INAR 210 (220) Entegre İç Mekan Tasarımı I (II)

Proje-1: Mimari Bir Enstelasyon

Dersin Öğretim Elemanları: Dr.Öğrt.Üyesi Gülnur Ballice (Koordinatör), Öğrt.Gör. Sergio Taddonio, Öğrt.Gör. Sevda Balcıoğlu, Öğrt.Gör. Burcu Özen Kundak, Öğrt.Gör. Rena Vanlı Ballar, Öğrt.Gör. Meltem Eranıl Demirli, Araş.Gör. Ebru Bengisu

Projenin Tanımı: The main focus point of the project is creating an interior space by enriching the existing environment. By adding an additional element to give a special character and create a volumetric separator are main issues of the project. Apart from these the requirements for the interior can be determined by the students as lounge-areas, meeting-spaces, a little library, exhibition areas, information desk and leaflet display cases. A stair connects upper and lower levels must be kept. But the structure, form, place and material of the stair will be redesigned according to designer’s new approach to the interior. The doors of the multi-purpose hall must be also taken into account as a design constraint. Connecting openings, levels and enriching communication between the spaces are main issues. Searching for transitional spaces, architecture of interior public spaces for artistic & architectural events, contemporary exhibition design, and temporariness are the key issues of the Project.

Project-2: Socially-oriented Café Design

Project Description: Students will be required to identify in an ‘original’ manner a very clear inter-relation in between three different project conditions: a specific ‘side activity’ (complementary to the cafeteria purpose) which will characterize uniquely the mission of the Kızlar Kahvesi in its future setting; in accordance with the ‘side activity’, students will portrait a very clear ‘user profile’ in order to define the inner conditions of the café in terms of space setting, furnishing elements and lighting fixtures; the last condition is to determine what we may call as the ‘mood’ of the space (textures, colors, ambiance) in order to define the design language and to accomplish from a physical point of view the re-designing task.
