A Bit About me

My name is Martina Vrankar, a recent Master graduate of Architecture from University of Ljubljana.

I have a great appreciation and admiration for the architecture, that is characterized by a strong attachment to location, horizontality, authenticity and a minimalist abstract essence. I believe that architecture with its contemporary design has an important position in the future.

I have studied abroad on Erasmus+ exchange: 2014|2015 at Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul and in 2016|2017 at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon. During university besides doing the master degree in architecture, I have been participating in many international architectural and design workshops, being a volunteer at the world engineering forum developing a team working skill, thinking creatively to produce new conceptual ideas and develop good communication skills.

Having an architectural background coupled with my experience of living and studying in 3 different countries has contributed to my flexible mind and analytical thinking abilities. My advantage is having a strong graphic and design talent with a great style with the sense of harmony in architecture and design, developing my own unique architectural language, exhibiting the three qualities of firmitas, utilitas and venustas, resulting in having impeccable graphics. Staying up to date with the latest BIM technologies has resulted in an open attitude towards new ways of working.

I believe that with my passion for architecture combined with my excellent designing skills I could make a great contribution to your project.

  Kadikoy is a cosmopolitan area on the northern shores of the Marmara Sea on the Asian side of Istanbul, where have over the past decade been produced creative industries through the immigration of young intellectuals and artists. Despite its large cultural capacities, research through public participation has shown that in its gulf, there are growing needs for new arts-dedicated spaces through the expansion of coastal green areas is in the bay. The goal was to improve the signicant cultural character of the Kadikoy waterfront, by using modern architectural principles and nding a harmonious relationship between the natural and the built environment through the width of the green spaces. The thesis focuses on creating an artistic spatial atmosphere in connection with nature, by exploiting the accessibility of life through the view of the Marmara Sea in the historic peninsula and by an architectural language that linguistically relates to the element of water.

SHELTER IN EXTREME ENVIROMENT

Fan is a type of bivouac, which can with its own shape, folding and modularity, adapt to any terrain, regardless of its slope. The concept is based on sphere divided into segments of 30°. The main structural element of the lightweight aluminum frames, which in principal fan fold, thus allowing air transport by helicopter unit in one piece. Due to modularity, the segments can be previously added or removed, depending on the requirements of the location. The main horizontal platform could be fixed to any one of it. The central part of the main platform is opened, thereby establishing a passage between the upper and lower units. Crossing is made easier with the addition of crosses in their own "wall" plates are also mounted folding shelves, one above and one below the main platform to serve as an additional bed for two persons.

THE PATH AND THE PLATFORMS

  The coast path from Piran to Fiesa is designed as apath which invites you to the new space and createsnew urban connection with nature using extended platforms. We created the system of the paths with different possibilities and experiences of movement by introducing basic architectural elements. These allow a variety of experiences such as walking along thewall, following the connections in the ground texture, getting refreshed and relaxing in the shadow underthe roof. The complex functions of the area allow for different uses throughout the year.
