RITUEL / Aliye Sultan Öztemir
The project is located in the parking area between Papatya Street and Sakarya Street in the Mustafapaşa region. Although it is generally in the Ürgüp district, the old structures in the project area are in ruins and have been severely damaged by people. One of the frequently used solution suggestions to control the human relationship with the structures is to turn the area into a museum. However, it is not possible to turn every place into a museum, and such a problem can only be achieved through education. Education does not have to be only spatial with school and student identity, spatial experience is one of the permanent education types for people. In the region, a spatial design is offered where people can eat, have fun and dance by following the tradition and entertainment understanding based on Pagan culture, and where people communicate with grapes at a different level in the wine tasting center. In addition, this space allows a controlled relationship to be established with the ruins remaining in the project area. There is a design decision that both prevents the uncontrolled use of the ruins and reminds the past experiences of agricultural societies, namely all of Mesopotamia, with a universal entertainment approach, and brings together the old structure and the new structure.
CARRIER
The structure is specially designed with a carrier system. At the point where the upper cover, which creates a defined space perception for the ruins, meets the ground, it is carried by two main carriers with a width of 1 meter by 1 meter with a structure bridge system. There are steel columns inside the 6-meter-high structure suspended in the air, and these columns are connected to the main carrier with steel ropes where they establish a connection with the roof. In the structure where the broken rectangular form is operated, the columns are reduced at the point where they are broken and weight is gained. When the main carrier goes up from the structure, it reaches up to 8 meters in height, thus saving the steel ropes from the road loss and force. In addition, the structure is seated on the topography without a partition on the eastern facade. Reinforced concrete is operated in this section. While curtain wall is preferred for reinforced concrete, the two closest steel columns that establish a connection with steel ropes also follow the curtain wall and go down to the ground. At this point, there is a decision for two steel columns that establish a connection with both the ground and the reinforced concrete carrier section and serve the bridge system by connecting to the main carrier with steel ropes.
