Hose: Basic Design Project

Here is the “hose” group of the İstanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Architecture Basic Design project. Although they were challenged with a nearly impossible mission, trying to make a structural system out of hoses, they simply did it well. After a tremendous effort on the possible combinations of hoses and wooden sticks, they found sophisticated components, utilizing the positive potentials of both materials. This year, we allowed them to develop composite systems by blending different behaviors of materials. In fact, no one was sure about the structural integrity of the hose-stick combination. But their fearless efforts brought success in the end. The structure still survives with minor collapses. Here are some photos of it;
