Studying the typologies


As the existence of timber houses is very identical for the area, we want our design proposal to be influenced by their typologies and construction methods. Our concept is based on the reuse of locality, but not only in terms of the materials and social identity, but also in terms of the actual structure of the old houses in Fener and Tarlabasi and the volumes out of which they are comprised.


We selected some usual typologies that can be found in both areas and made an analysis of them in order to understand the way they are constructed and also the differences between the houses that at a first glance really look alike. Also we catecorized the different volumes of the bay windows as we noticed there is a great variety of those elements which initialy seems to be quite repetitive and similar.
We have noticed the importance of both physical and conceptual connection between the windows and the urban space. This is either by material (rope, basket) as mentioned above, or by people’s communication. So we made a quick diagram indicating the connections between our free space and the surrounding windows as an additional urban layer.
