A TALE OF TWO VOIDS

A Tale of Two Voids





I am exploring the "balcony" not merely as an architectural ornament, but as a crucial interface between the private ego and the urban chaos. In a city where boundaries are increasingly thinned into sterile facades, the balcony remains the last frontier of spontaneity. My study focuses on the "liminality" of this space—the uncanny zone that is neither fully inside nor completely outside.





This drawing captures a profound socio-economic contrast within the urban fabric. On one side, we see a bare, skeletal void as intended by the architect; on the other, a space reclaimed and "hacked" by its inhabitants through improvised veils. This "textile architecture" acts as a soft border, filtering the urban gaze and creating a personalized micro-climate.

The diorama serves as a physical laboratory to test the atmospheric qualities of these observed tactics. While the drawing maps the geometry, the diorama captures the . By experimenting with light and translucency, I aimed to recreate the "post-human" textures of the balcony—where the rigid concrete meets the fluid motion of the fabric.

Balat / Fatih We examine how a balcony has changed over the years: its purpose, size, and definition. The current definition of a balcony, although more accurately described as having a sloping roof, refers to a structure used like a greenhouse. Based on the abundance of trees and potted plants, we can say that the balcony is used for commercial purposes.       (current condition of the balcony)                                                   (model of the balcony)   If we examine it more closely, we see that this was originally an open terrace balcony, but it was later enclosed. With this enclosure, the homeowner gained extra storage space for their plants and could also use their existing balcony more freely. The balcony was initially used for hobby plant cultivation, but over the years, both the existing plants grew and new plant spec...

Common-ucation of Balconies

  Balcony is not merely a structured open area, but also a communication tool between neighborhoods and even buildings.  An articulated climber plant shows that term of "Balcony" is also a common consciousness between people being a representation of ideas, beliefs and patterns.  A climber plant is turned out to be a created bond between people , implying a organic collectivity.  Reminding me of communication between spaces , potents in circulations and overall links in apart spaces.  Demirkan Demir
