THE SEAM

Habitat is not designed as an object, but as part of the context. With the effect of global warming, glaciers also form large crevices. With the movable structure, the space settles between these slits and prevents the glaciers from separating from each other and freezes the water used to form insulation material on the wall and cools the glaciers.

Interesting concept, strong formal evolution, but still unclear to me is how this approach prevents the glaciers from separating/melting? What is the attachment method that minimizes thermal transfer and contains the ice? Do people leave these spaces to the context? How is the crevasse navigated safely during construction? How does the Hyperloop engage these precariously perched places?

The Adsequor

The Adsequor is a sustainable hotel project on the seashores of Izmir where the historical Meles Stream forms an important but unfortunately neglected wetland called Meles Delta, around which a skyscraper zone poorly develops. The main objective of the project is to heal both the wetland and the river through a new approach towards the highrise typology.
