After revising the topography between which the Talya Hotel sits on and the where the main vaicular road passes I started placing the masses by grouping the given program interms of publicity. However, from the comments I got in my jury, it might not be the best way to position them. Rather than zoning them I think mixing them would be more proper.
So, while I was making analyses about the Hotel located in our site, I realised that some part of the cliff was somehow isolated in terms of the view because of the orientation of the rooms in the Talya Otel. There for the part were the man made beach was placed near the cliff was the part where people didn’t recognise and lack in experience.
The image above is a diagram showing the circulation in the site. So continuity of human movement is very important for me, therefore I have 3 dominant strips which will orient the visiter from one side of the site to the other part in a fluency.
On the first day at Antalya field trip, we had a short walk along the sea coast and I realised that the public in Antalya has a very strong relationship with the sea. They always have communication. They do lots of their daily routine near the cliff and they experience the sea somehow. Since there is a continuity of this relationship between humans and the sea, I wanted to interpret this idea to our site. Therefore, the project will have different platforms near the cliff which will also reach to the sea and people will experience the view from different angles in different heights.
From the diagrams above, you can see the importance of the water and the interconnection of it with human activity.
Since I want to make people experience the cliff and because I didn’t want to damage the siluethe of the sea coast near where Talya is situated, the additional masses I will place on the site will adapt itself to the form of the rocks. There will be platforms which will lead the visitors to experiment with the sea on the cliffs. Those architectural elements will also help both the vertical and horizontal circulation.
We welcomed this term with listed case studies related to the Mediterranean region. We were supposed to analyse the given projects by interpreting them to the site we are supposed to deal with all term, Antalya Talya Otel.
There are six projects below and they are grouped according to its program, content and climatical issues.
