MANIFEST
Considering the historical datas and historical transformation of the area, the primary phase for a university campus to be designed should be to make the area healthy. Because of the past industrial activities and the presence of factories, it is a region whose air, soil and water are polluted.
In order to create a healthy and interactive education, production and development environment, the area must first be made healthy.
Campuses are places where interaction should be highest in order to support the learning process from each other [mutual learning]. Therefore, the next step in improving the quality of water, soil and air and rehabilitating the site should be to bring together different profiles in the region, such as temporary, local, artificiers and academic.
Could the campus be a haunt destination for profiles from all walks of life, as in the past of Kağıthane?
Can it activate the learning process as an aggregator, a collector?
What will the campus collect?
Passers-by, locals, participants, craftsmen, waste,
soil, water, thoughts, actions...
Some unexpected encounters...
Different profiles, different interactions...
Accordingly, the process consists of two stages: remediation and collection. Then there are some events, workshops, markets to support these encounters and interactions. included in the scenario. The invitingness of the campus design and the richness of the scenario make the campus a haunt, a collector.

In addition, based on previous detailed studies on water, soil and air, the principle of cleaning the air of the area was investigated. Briefly, the starting point of this idea is summarized; The skyscrapers in the region are quite dense and because the wind is weak behind the skyscrapers, the pollutants from the house and traffic cannot spread over a large area and the air becomes polluted. Various data on the success of microalgae in this regard have been collected and their use on the front has been examined. As a final decision, the store located across from the production center has become the Algae production, review and development center where microalgae photobioreactors are placed and a façade coated with ETFE is preferred. Here, the algae growing on the front are collected and renewed once a week. The biomass collected from these algae is converted into bioplastic, which in turn is biodegradable biofilaments. And it can use as 3D printing material. Thus, a biological material is produced that students can use in workshops. In addition, microalgae on the facade also clean the air while providing oxygen and turning into biomass. It also generates enough heat to heat the floor and water of the building and its surroundings. There are several reasons for choosing ETFE as the coating for these photobioreactors. Some of these are those. Since it has high light transmittance, it transmits enough light to algae for photosynthesis of algae. Since it provides thermal insulation, it provides the optimum temperature for algae. It is very resistant to UV lights, temperature and impacts and is very lightweight.
