Danzer Tiling

Danzer tiling is a tiling technique that creates tiles with the same proportions and dimension in an aperiodic order. Each tile could be divided into 5 tiles. In this project the code uses the Danzer tiling technique and integrates a hierarchy of scale to create clusters of triangles.

Stress Sensitive Mesh

This bridge proposal is made of a mesh that is emerged out of the stress diagram of a designed form. It is denser on the areas of high stress and less dense on the areas of low stress. The thickness of the structure changes accordingly.

This project is designed at Zaha Hadid Architect.

Creating Relationships Between Surfaces

These are some examples of relationships created inbetween objects. Exterior surfaces are deformed by the objects inside these volumes.

Sponge Space - Functional Evolution of Components

This project creates a gradual change from a surface triangulation into a space triangulation. Components which are used to cover a surface gets larger and come apart from each other. This creates new spacial divisions and rooms. It is a functional evolution rather than a physical evolution.

Sponge Networking Strategy




Sponge networking is based on point clouds. Final structure could be created as curved elements or straight. Sponge creates smooth transitions between surfaces and 3d elements.

Curvature Based Surface Tesselation

The main goal of this research is to create a structural tesselation on a given surface. That also means that divisions on the surface are not merely patterning anymore. They respond to the geometrical requirements of the surface itself. They tesselate on the areas where geometry changes rapidly to maintain the smoothness of the surface.

Irregular Tesselation




This is an example of irregular surface tesselation based on surface curvature.
The structure of the code works like a tree branch. Gaussian curvature is used to analyze the surface curvature.

Regular Tesselation



This is an example of regular tesselation where the number of the elements in U and V directions are same on each row. This code uses a 3d projection technique to create this regularity.

Landscape Patterning Using Contour Lines

This is a landscape design using the contour lines of the topography and translating this data into 3d patterning.

This system works as a retaining wall of the terrain. The single unit which has been used for patterning is a cylinder shape. The height of this shape constrained into topographic parameters. In the areas where there is a sharp incline cylinders get higher where as the flat areas have smallest units.

A facade project / Gage Clemenceau Architects New York

This façade has been created for a competition at Gage/Clemenceau Architects. It is based upon an algorithm which deploys the components on the façade surface. Components get larger where it gets closer to any object likewise floor slabs, the overall frame of the façade, exterior attractions.

There are several component options which has been tried. They have different performances with different aesthetical approaches.
