Housing + in Hürriyet, Kayseri
ARCH201 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN I
Sevdegül Karaduman / THIVY
The project is located in Hürriyet, a neighborhood where people naturally interact with each other. The project aims to create an environment that every type of person can use and spend time comfortably with using the benefit of natural interaction.
The concept of “unify” reflects the idea of connecting people and having every gender, and age of people in the same place in a safe and peaceful ambiance. The other aim of the concept is to unify the park in the front with the site to use the potential of the park. The concept is also applied in housing units by connecting the housing with an open theatre course as a mini theater.
The project consists of a housing unit with a plus function as a theatre course, a backstage space, and an amphitheater, as the main event. the housing units consist of different house types for different family profiles and large circulation areas to encourage connection of the people who live in the building.
The amphitheater is designed to unify people in the park on the site. The shape is selected for having such a welcoming environment from every corner of the site. In the course space, there will be friendly courses for the people who live in the neighborhood. And they can also perform in the amphitheater. The amphitheater can also be used for some gathering and meeting purposes. As the neighborhood does not have such gathering places other than parks and mosques, more complex and different spaces would be selectable for people at different times.
