Science of Architecture
FLDExploring the intersection of scientific principles, systems thinking, and architectural design practice.
Between Fiction And Debris
This project explores how architecture can exist within fictional worlds and what that means for how we understand and design space in reality. It begins with a simple question: if a world is imagined, can its architecture still be considered real through the way it is experienced, understood, and constructed?
A highly imaginative proposal that turns waste, infrastructure, and urban uncertainty into a compelling vision for future inhabitation. Further refining the relationship between the speculative scenario and measurable systems could make the project even more powerful.
thank you for your insights, hope i can further refine it and you get a chance to go over it again.
Architecture Of Time: A Steel Frame Built to Outlast the Programmes It Was Designed to Hold
An open steel frame carries plug-in concrete volumes, letting a building of workshops and markets absorb technologies that do not yet exist.
The illusion of permanence: the design for disassembly framework
Traditional architecture’s focus on permanence overlooks the environmental constraints of climate urgency. Design for Disassembly (DfD) challenges this by planning buildings to be dismantled, reused, or relocated. This thesis investigates the ecological and socio-economic potentials of DfD, exploring how modularity and reversible connections shape future-oriented construction. Shifting focus from building to responsibly unbuilding redefines permanence for a sustainable lifecycle.
very interesting
TIME FRAME: A Steel Grid Framework That Lets a Learning Landscape Absorb Decades of Change
Shelter below and gathering above: this Architecture of Time 2020 winner treats time as a material and the grid frame as an armature for future use.
Aysenur Gültekin Portfolio 2026
This portfolio features a selection of projects developed during my Bachelor’s and Master’s studies at the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Darmstadt. The projects examine architectural responses to the challenges of reusing existing buildings, accommodating extraordinary functions, and creating vibrant mixed-use spaces.
Architecture as a practice of re-grounding and restoring the sensitivity of place
This dissertation counters how globalization and ocularcentrism erode spatial identity, proposing architecture as a memory-bearing palimpsest. The framework is applied to Krakow's Krowodrza district (Poland), where a historic river landscape, once shaping a green gardening area, is now a dense city centre. By revealing 'traces of (in)presence', the work revitalizes this eclipsed heritage, advocating an "architecture of re-grounding."
THE MESH
A place for discovery, experimentation and sharing It is here, facing one of the symbols of modern architecture, the MAC Niteroi by Oscar Niemeyer, that the Athenaeum emerges, as a ground movement in the seabed. The mesh appears in the bay as an artificial topography in the landscape, inspired by the mountains surrounding the city of Rio de Janeiro
FLOW
"Flow" is a holistic wellness center that spatializes well-being through layered volumes and intersecting planes. Rejecting traditional closed rooms, it eliminates forced routes in favor of fluid, non-linear circulation. Strategic galleries dissolve boundaries, allowing users to experience the space freely at their own rhythm while staying connected.
Great project
Wow amazing
Great work amazing
Detailed overview of the MOO process used in the design
The publication contains selected chapters from my thesis black book 2026. Few chapters are taken to explain the detailed process researched developed using python scripting and grasshopper. It demonstrates how scalable the process is with its use cases in sustainable architecture.
ARCHITECTURE FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE EXCAVATIONS
This thesis focuses on building an architecture that intervenes during archaeological excavations to mitigate the issue of lengthy excavation times that are not beneficial to the public. In addition, the architecture will act to protect the ancient ruins up to No.21 that are affected by the environment that occurs within the area.
The sensitive city
Grounded in architectural phenomenology, this article investigates the sensory foundations of urban experience, showing how the body, place, and memory shape the identity of the city beyond contemporary planning paradigms.

The Digital Antrho
Super clear ambition, and well presented. This accepts the notion that what man touches is no longer "nature", while offering it in different packaging, and a place of constant change. A new version of a "Watts Tower", accumulating pieces and parts over time, a construction site of parts akin to Archigram....The ground plan is a helpful, though I would question the need for such idiosyncratic form. I would encourage more directly how all the senses are activated. Thought provoking.
This is such an insightful and beautifully done piece
Good idea
Nice
