Project by Ahmet Rüstem and Hakan Sorar. Can an AI-generated JPEG file, produced by a text-to-image AI tool, be transformed into a dimensional/layered object? Inspired by cave paintings from various countries, the artwork “We Were Here” explores this question, presenting a topographical narrative through the layered traces of a 3D clay printer. Utilizing depth maps and various algorithms, this image was transformed into a volumetric object with the aid of 3D modeling software and was produced on August 7, 2023.

Workshops

“Parametric Design and Digital Fabrication” Workshop

Held from February 14 to 16, 2024 at Mersin University’s Girişim Limanı, this workshop—organized by the Faculty of Architecture and Young Entrepreneurs Research & Application Center, with the support of Çukurova University—offered an immersive, three-day program for architecture students.

“Algorithmic Vault Explorations” Workshop

Organized by the Chamber of Architects Kayseri Branch, this four-day workshop offered architecture students and graduates an intensive learning experience combining algorithmic design and physical fabrication, without requiring prior software knowledge. Participants explored the fundamentals of Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, and the Kangaroo physics engine, engaging with contemporary vault geometries and simulation-based design principles. The highlight of the workshop was the creation of a 1:1 scale cardboard vault prototype with the Solidified team: a structure assembled from 4,000 laser-cut pieces, demonstrating how digital design can be transformed into real-world architectural forms.

"Parametric Design and Digital Fabrication" Workshop

In collaboration with the Seyhan Municipality Innovation and Technology Center, we hosted the Parametric Design and Digital Fabrication workshop, bringing together students of architecture, interior architecture, and landscape architecture. Over the course of the program, participants explored Rhinoceros 7 and Grasshopper, developed algorithmic thinking skills, and experienced hands-on fabrication using 3D printers and laser cutters.

Algorithmic Explorations – UMÖB 25 SAMSUN

The 51st edition of the National Meeting of Architecture Students (UMÖB), a collective design event that brings together architecture students from across Turkey, took place from July 6–12, 2025, along the scenic Black Sea coast in Samsun.

Contact Wall Tiles

Dec 10, 2024

Contact Wall Tiles” explores the fluidity in concrete facade design, transforming concrete from a traditionally rigid and brutal material into a fluid, glossy form. Utilizing noise algorithms, the design captures a moment of frozen fluidity. The wooden molds were prepared at Saray Doğrama Atölyesi using CNC machining, and the concrete was mixed and processed at AND Prekast Cephe Kaplama. The facade was constructed using two different shotcrete mixes. Each tile measures 20×20 cm, covering a total area of 200×120 cm. This approach challenges conventional perceptions of concrete, showcasing its potential for fluid, dynamic applications.

"Possibilistic Grounds," 2021Multimedia installation, aluminum cast topography, single-channel 4K Video 14:20For years, we have been trying to understand the world and represent it again with computers' help. With the emergence/involvement of the computer in the sixties that corresponds to the first attempts of digital mapping processes, land census, and calibration systems, the world's first virtual images have been rendered. While the earth becomes an intangible object assembled from satellite images, GIS data, aerial photos, and a globe to spin by clicking on a mouse, the technological tools that make this possible leave actual, physical traces of earth. Sometimes a material change in the world or appear in archaeological sites or dissolves civilizations or protects us, sometimes from magic, sometimes from radioactive rays. Whereas the grounds are melting, our positions are getting lost day by day.
