Today, the theme was mechanical systems & architectural space and guest was Mehmet Okutan from Okutan Mühendislik. We know him from his previous presentation, in that time, we talked about Yapı Kredi Kültür Sanat Binası and mechanical process of that building.
For this lecture, we started to talk about our preferences for professional life. For example, which kind of offices we want to work, some of us said the bigger is better, some of us said smaller offices focus more. Also, we gave an example of people who don’t work in their field after graduation. Actually, it is really important for us now, because we’ve already started to think about after graduation and it makes us nervous. That’s why we focused this part of our future in the lecture and discuss the theme of professional practices in different scale of offices.
During the lecture we talked about star architects and their approaches, he said Zaha Hadid and one of the Russian architects approach can be totally different. He also said that i worked with Zaha Hadid, she liked to design every detail but other people can be different and step in the unusual part of the project.
Then he showed a villa project in Bodrum after that talked about design phases. He suggested the time to time change these design phases according to needs. For example, sometimes it is better to use inductive method, sometimes deductive method. Because it will shape these process according to needs of the project and the order of details. He advised to take a step back before starting a project and try to understand what should be the first step in the process and how should be the way for it.
Thanks to him for this lecture, it was helpful for us to understand our way to follow.
