PROJECT DESCRIPTION / PROJE TANIMI

The Extreme Architecture Unit is a technically-driven experimental umbrella under which graduation students develop architectural projects that are responsive to a wide range of physical, social, and conceptual extremes. Studio projects in this unit explore the arguments and design settings of an architecture defined by extreme environments, complex structures, social inequalities, natural and man-made disasters.

The project ‘Carnihall’ has been designed on edge of a favela (shantytown) named Rocinha in Brasil, Rio de Janeiro. This project has aimed to integrate different communities with favela community -which has very low chance to find occupation with adequate income- to equalize the economic welfare with using commercial and cultural activities. For sustainable change, involving the favela community in other societies by offering a range of job opportunities besides education for professions also activities, create integration hall with carnival culture-like events and interact the societies to each other.

Extreme Architecture Unit, mezuniyet öğrencilerinin çok çeşitli fiziksel, sosyal ve kavramsal uç noktalara yanıt veren mimari projeler geliştirdikleri, teknik olarak yönlendirilen deneysel bir şemsiyedir. Bu ünitedeki stüdyo projeleri, uç ortamlar, karmaşık yapılar, sosyal eşitsizlikler, doğal ve insan kaynaklı afetler tarafından tanımlanan bir mimarinin argümanlarını ve tasarım ayarlarını araştırıyor.
