Adjacent to the major airport, Bakırkoy Pschiatric Hospital opens up the 90 hectares of its urban
field and the intimate therapy room in for design ideas and interventions.
Diploma and master students are invited to take part in multilevel investigations regarding the site
for redevelopment and/or remodeling of the pschiatric healing space. Lately, there has been great
move away from the panopticon layout and the oversized, out of sight asylum. The spatial
performativities play an integrated role in the supercustomized re-modeling of the patients mind
and body.
Working in teams students will be asked to respond with a system design in the multiple
programatic combinatorics- choosing from a wide scope scales: the current and future site
potentials down to the the microscale landscape of the therapy space. The aim is to have an
amalgamation of projects working in different scales, with prototypes and digital models, feeding
in and out from other scales and projects, all working under the similar themes/consraints of the
site-program.
The site and the program reveal gradiencies of private/common, open/closed, secure/insecure,
acute/emergent, specific/generic. Peculiarities like overhead planes every 15min, dense pine woods
of 30hectares and a byzantium archeological site are undersized by the minute sensibilities of
schizophrenia, bipolarities and disorderlies.
The 10 day workshop open to design students who wish to work in a chosen focus scale of
architecture, urbanism, material system design, in the novel methodologies and involving digital
technologies. Information regarding site, program infeeds, current database is provided by the
municipality, hospital management and the ministry of health. Students will be briefed on the
current trends of psychiatric treatment by professionals.
The projects will be jurored at the end of the workshop and selected for maga-book publication by
Yapi EndustriMerkezi in autumn 2008.
