01. Turning the ground upside down

Field and Tectonics

It can be seen that human influences have effects not only horizontally, but also vertically towards the deepest layers of the earth and have a continuous interaction with the bottom and top of the earth. But the underworld creates a material subconscious to bury/hide what I want to ignore. It is a mapping prepared to reflect on how the space can be built on what we see and do not see, whether we are related or not.


When we descended to a closer scale, a system analysis was tried to be made through the relations of this fluidity, events or rituals on the space with the infrastructure networks. The relationship of localized or non-localized situations between these spaces was reconsidered
.
At this point, we go down to an even closer scale and turn the ground upside down. Every action that takes place on the space directly or indirectly affects the underground. Soil begins to mean a place that keeps memory here. On the other hand, every memory unit under the ground directs the actions that develop on the ground up to a point. We can make clear inferences from the underground and above relations by imagining that the sharply drawn boundary line here does not actually exist.

03. Making the surface above and below ground a single surface
Under-up

To
bring the ground up and down. Every action in our daily life is also reflected underground. Or every action underground shapes events above ground. In this respect, is it possible for us to think of the underground and the top separately in the Anthropocene Age?  As a reality brought by the post-human, matter-space-body has the same advantages on the same ground. In this respect, it seems that a material and spiritual consciousness (memory of the place) is only possible in this way. We can see a flow of these systems in this diagram.

With the emergence of the earth globe, whose interior and exterior we have made into a single plane, together with what it hides inside, a fragment has been tried to be put forward on how to make new imaginations on the space. These underground and aboveground encounters begin to form some of the pluralist layers of the fields.

A series of possibilities has been drawn on how the space will be realized in the form of a defined excavation, and as a result, how the space will be reshaped with each new excavation in the process, through the excavation points determined by considering the field strategies.
04. Excavation  Process
Field Description


In order to describe the area, it is tried to discuss and think about the possibilities by developing new description models according to the system requirements.  For this reason, it has been tried to imagine the series of possibilities that the excavations to be made in the 45x40 grid system, each unit of which is 5 m, that can be created in the process. According to this result, the physical environmental effects of the area description in the 5x5 or 10x10 excavation systems of the area were also considered.


Field Excavation

The first excavation sequence was produced based on the breaking points of dynamic attraction points coming from the external area ( road intersection, dynamic flows, centers, lanmarks) on the determined area. The market tries to establish its own possibilities and Dynamics through this sequence.

The first excavation sequence was produced based on the breaking points of dynamic attraction points coming from the external area ( road intersection, dynamic flows, centers, lanmarks) on the determined area. The market tries to establish its own possibilities and Dynamics through this sequence.

With the formation of the first excavation, it was ensured that the space was described and its upside-down relations were revealed.

This space, which constitutes one of the weighty masses of the space, offers a redefinition of temporal and spatial possibilities such as Kuşdili meadow by having a floor that can rise to different levels.

The life of the place transforming with the flow of events. Every excavation, every event and every second of the place gives place to new experiences. This experience goes beyond our subconscious and reveals the holistic consciousness.
06-08.  Anthropocene Bazaar Atmospheres
General Report: Kuşdili meadow in Kadıköy was chosen as study area.Area is a topography formed by accumulations (sediments, rituals, cultures, actions, machines) over centuries.We see how space’s transformed under anthropogenic effects and how it can describe holistic space between time-space-field equations,through space's state of being a void and its relationship with its immediate surroundings.

Reading was conducted on what expected/unexpected encounters between human/non-human beings are,where and how they meet.From this, tates of bodies,their possibilities and possibilities were redescribed.

System analysis was made through relations of fluids, events/rituals with infrastructure networks.The relationship of localized/non-localized situations between these spaces has been redefined.

We turn ground upside down:every action carried out above ground directly or indirectly affects underground.Soil begins to mean a place that keeps memory here.Every memory unit under the ground directs every action that develops above ground.Underground and above now become a single plane for us.

A series of possibilities has been created on how defined excavation style of the space will be realized through first series of excavation points determined by developing site strategies and how space will be reshaped with each new excavation start in the process. Every action,event,intervention,etc.,which is included in space within the series of possibilities,shapes the existing possibility.

It tries to get ahead of the material agglomeration in the Anthropocene era by reproducing the space in the heaped urban again and again. We are reducing the distance between the atmosphere and the earth's core to a single plane by bringing the ground up and down among this material agglomeration. Thus, we establish a series of possibilities that can reconstruct itself over and over again within the void and never become singular. In this way, liberated matter will not be repeated in the memories by producing body and space, and the place that he revisits will not remain in the   memories.
