final project’s content, steps, and map design: bilge bal
Considering the unusual circumstances we are living under and literally physical distances between us, this academic year of 2020-2021 was a unique experience and a challenging experiment for us to co-live, collaborate, dream and create together.
Our hands are dirty as always. There are quite novel works constructed in the studio in last 5 weeks and we are happy to have this great team to learn from each other, design and think, discuss and make together.
This semester, we have explored the ways to create a system with the key structure VOID. Together, we have made an extensive research consisting of materials, systems, techniques and teachnologies in relation to each other. They are sometimes as palpable and tangible as it could get, sometimes as abstract, open, every-changing as it could be in an infinite virtual landscape. For the first time, we have dealed with a variety of scales ranging from a joint detail to 1:1 structure, from human scale to digital(ized) topographical narratives. Sometimes it was diving into the material world of mundane objects and our surrondings, sometimes into air in flow, sometimes into huge spatial configurations of digital models and sometimes dreamy lands as space of spaces.
For 5 weeks, we have inhabited an in-between reality, trying to discover and create a new playful and dynamic realm in terms of imagination, geometry, materiality, action, scale and form all together.
