KAYITDIŞI WORKSHOP

Kayıtdışı 03 has just started. It takes place at Yıldız Teknik University Architecture Building between 08-13 February 2010. Our studio “light blind” is lead by C. Alper Derinboğaz, Salih Küçüktuna, Kamil Kaptan, Özer Önkal, Sinan Paker and me. We are working on the meaning of the corridor, and trying to add new senses, to experiment the corridor with 5 senses. The projects of the groups will be posted soon.

Tube Transformation

 

There are 2 circles and 1 curve on the viewport (You can also use different shapes). The sizes of the polysurface (the tube) change depending on the distances between the midpoint of the curve and the grid points.

Boolean Difference

Here is one of my scripting exercises. I tried to run a boolean operation between two closed curves and to extrude the substructed surface on a defined path. 

Call Main()
Sub Main()
 Dim tri, trisrf
 Dim hex, hexsrf
 Dim currsrf
 Dim path

 tri = Rhino.GetObjects ("Select first curve to build surface")
 hex= rhino.getobjects ("Select second curve to build surface") 

 trisrf = Rhino.AddPlanarSrf (tri)
 hexsrf = Rhino.AddPlanarSrf (hex)

 currsrf=Rhino.BooleanDifference (hexsrf,trisrf)
 path = Rhino.AddLine (Array(0,0,0), Array(0,0,5))
 rhino.ExtrudeSurface currsrf(0),path

End Sub

Getting Started with Rhino Scripting

I started to learn Rhino Scripting. It will help to design the patterns, the architectural forms etc. with parameters. I will add some results of the scripts to my blog in the SCRIPTING section as long as I create new parametric designs.

Shape Grammar of Islamic Star Patterns

Since September 2007, I have been studying in Architectural Design Computing Graduate Program in Istanbul Technical University. My graduate thesis topic is “the shape grammar of Islamic star patterns”. I’m analyzing the geometry of the patterns in Islamic Art and Architecture. Soon I will give information about my research in my blog page.

Hello World of Design!

Hello,

I’m an architect, designer, 3D artist, modeler, animator. This is my blog page. You can see my 3D works in my gallery, the project  that shows life in a flower cell under  “MINIATUR CITY” tab, my sister’s and my nature friendly project BEZTORBAM and our products on this blog.  ARKUTEKT DESIGN STUDIO is my design studio. In future you will see the works of the studio on my blog.

Please follow my blog if you’re interested in 3D animations, 3D models, architectural visualization, shape grammar, geometry and everything about design.
