UNIVERSITY HOUSING PROJECT

Hello from the 3rd year of architectural education. This semester we are dealing with a housing project.Before starting the project details and site studies, we have seperated as 5 groups. As groups, we have produced our logos. With, Aylin Alicanoğlu and Uğur Namdar, we founded MUA ( Modern Urban Architecture ). Our logo is below.

For approaching the project as professionally as possible, we founded an architectural office as MUA and designed logo and sign for the office. So, we can start to produce projects.

UNIVERSITY HOUSING PROJECT

The project which is given to us is placed in around the Kurtuluş Park in Ankara. There are 3 university buildings around the park which are TED University, Ankara University Law Faculty, Hacettepe University Medicine Faculty. The project is a university housing project, so we are expected to produce an overall idea for the users which are generally students and acedemics. Before site studies, we started to search about university housing examples and prepared a case study.

CASE STUDY

As MUA, we searched architectural examples of university housing below. We prepared a presentation about them and express our ideas which can affect our design approaches for the university housing project. Here you can find some relevant examples for housing projects.
