FIRST PRE-JURY
Before mentioning the project, there are a few things I would like to say. This was my first pre-jury! It was the first time I presented my project to a jury. It was one of the most exciting experiences I've had in the studio. I felt both nervous and proud to share my work with my friends and jury members. This experience has motivated me to push myself further in my design journey.
​
In this assignment, our purpose was to create interrelated volumes within a specific strategy using the required material. I designed my model using the axial organization. I defined the volumes around certain axes that guide them. In addition, as a design component, I used a specific quality where three surfaces join edge to edge and I created repetition by repeating this structure around the model.

PIN-UP!
​
Pin up was like an exhibition. We prepared our small-scale posters and drawings, and then hung them on the walls of our studio. Our teachers walked around one by one and gave us critiques.
As for the assignment, we started with the initial unit and progressing to a refined 3D organization composed of at least two groups. Each group was required to include at least five units and linear elements, defined through the application of move, rotate, and scale operations. These operations, considered deliberate design decisions, had to preserve the identity of the initial unit. As groups were formed, linear elements were introduced to enhance the connections between units. The final organization needed to maintain orthogonality and ensure that groups were clearly identifiable through their units and linear elements.

FINAL JURY
Considering the critiques we received in the pre-jury and the newly learned terms "hinge" and "threshold," we developed a project that emphasized these concepts by using operations like changes in thickness and texture.
This final jury was different from the pre-jury. We prepared an exhibition area using the templates we designed ourselves. We placed our posters on these setups we had prepared, and our models were displayed next to our posters. The jury members walked around the studio, evaluating our projects. The atmosphere was both impressive and inspiring. I really enjoyed these exhibition-style juries. It was a quite different experience for me.​​

For this jury, we also prepared an animation for our project this time. This is the animation I created.
In the animation, you can see that my model is divided into groups. The planes, shown in gray, in the units that break off from the groups highlight the repeating structure around the model. The two green linear elements are materials placed along the main two axes to indicate the axial organization.
