Abstract

The architectural design Associations and Assemblages-A Pattern-based
Housing Complex, are followed by research on existing housing patterns
in Istanbul. Three types of housing forms: Self-built, Street apartment and
Highrise. For individual housing units, they are different in scale/volume/facade
composition/land occupation. When grouped housing units land on the terrain
of Istanbul, they form different patterns in plan and elevation.The research
finding can be concluded as: By figure ground plan, self-built houses are more
dense in land occupation, but have less demolish on original topography than
street apartments and high-rises. The collision of three patterns in my site
Yenidoğan, the most over-populated area of Istanbul, guides me rethinking how
they can coexist in a more topo-friendly way and create possible new housing
patterns.
