First of all, in the analyzes we made when we started the social housing project, I observed that the region should be developed socially and that this should be done in accordance with the social network that actually exists in terms of approaching people. In other words, while creating a social housing project, I also tried to initiate and carry out a study by focusing on two issues, thinking that the social structure should be improved. Later, while doing the same analysis, I observed that the seating areas in the region were similar to each other in shape and mass. His aim during the form finding phase was to not disrupt the already existing form that spread everywhere, but also to develop a different variant of this form. Then, I needed to find an activity to do in this area for social development, and for this, I had to act according to the age groups of the people in the region. To achieve this, I developed digital art types in my own field to support both the technological age we live in and different activities, considering the presence of people from all age groups in the region. I aimed to draw attention and attract people. For this reason, while determining the shape of the building, I thought that it would be more appropriate to use low-lit areas for the digital environment, using elevation differences, amplifiers and digital walls, and using the negative elevation areas of the building in a semi-open way, creating a café, sitting, resting, watching and digital environments. I added the wall painting and digital music parts. Later, I turned one of the facades of the building at the back into a digital façade to be used for the exhibition of the works below, and I worked on a kinetic facade for protection. My design, which will separate the building from the surrounding buildings, emerged while designing this kinetic facade and other elements. While doing these, I worked on the landscaping and arrangement at the back of my area and also on attracting people to my area with landscaping additions and directional signs, starting from the direction that would attract the most attention to the structure I created. Then, in the technical part of the work, I wanted to separate this mass area and social housing area from each other, and I designed different types of flats according to the groups of people living in the area by determining the core layout, parking area and window locations accordingly. I did lighting works in the corridors for the parts where I could not get light due to my digital facade. It was a project in which I worked on a lot of elevation differences and lighting studies. I thank all my teachers and I am very pleased with the result.
