This is a thinking/creating process of an imaginary space. In this process, how space, which is actually a void, was limited, how it became a whole mass, how the creatures in that space shaped that space questions are examined. the lines, intersections, thicknesses, emptiness, and the bulges of the space create our perspective on imagining. So, how “another” space will affect the living quarters?

the gaps were filled. people could not fit into. the gaps started to be eroded. they evolved. shaped by the human, served the human. it became a complex structure in time.

In this scenario, an imaginary topography is created. this topography has a porous and bumpy texture. It has high-rise topographical pieces that consist of natural resources. the climate of the region tends to be warm and drought.

Structures that stabilize the humidity of the air have occurred. vegetation settled on these structures as a result of convenient air conditions. Vegetation spread on the topography and started to act in line with the structures and topography.

The layout of the spaces is located within the recesses and protrusions of the topography surface. The transportation between the spaces is provided by stairs placed inside the recesses and protrusions and the transportation vehicle that moves by the semi-open road on the surface. These recesses and protrusions became a neighborhood over time.

The substructures of the topographical piece became an inner-city, like the projection of outside. There are different parts of substructures layer by layer. These topographical elevations have various natural resources that are processed by different mechanisms.

There is a relationship between the topographical piece and the humidity stabilizer. Humidity stabilizer provides energy to the residential area and the substructures by wind power. Substructures inside the topographical piece provide the water for the humidity stabilizer.
