ARCHI-NETWORK

Dear Zeynep, Thank you for your great effort done in the project. However, there are some comments concerning the spatial organization of spaces of ARCHI-NETWORK building. For the entrance of the building, it was expected to find a hall with a regular shape that receives students from all over the country. In addition, the vertical circulation was better to find it each other (i.e. the stairs near the elevators). Also, the public bathrooms were expected to include a cubical for the handicapped (disabled) because there are several students who use the building with different abilities. Concerning the technical information, there is a difference between the building material which is reinforced concrete and the construction system which is skeleton (columns and beams). Also, it not clear in the design of plans, the benefit from making a site analysis!! How did the site analysis was reflected on the form generation, the organization of spaces according to the north direction particularly that the building is designed for architectural students? Another thing is, there is laminated blue glass on the roofs of the building which makes me feel that the building is covered with photovoltaic cells to generate electricity (for example). However, these cells do not appear neither in the sections nor the model. My advice for you in the coming projects is to revise the drawings and its relation with each other and to always search for the theories of every types of building. Wish you all good luck !!
