As well as these outdoor rooms, planting brings green inside the building, and natural ventilation provides clear air flows throughout the interior spaces, without relying on mechanical systems. Open air fingers in the plan layout provide areas that, weather-dependent, can be used as informal meeting zones, avoiding closed group spaces. ![]() The project aims to develop a better office environment that prioritises hygiene and safe areas for individual and group working. The slender columns, reminiscent of stalagmites or stalactites, seep into the roof, which appears to melt from sky to ground as its height varies across the campus.Įvolving during the global coronavirus pandemic, Ecotone proposes a new exemplar for pandemic resistant and sustainable office architecture, with the integration of outside areas, planting and protected yet fluid office zones. The tubular columns employ an innovative fabrication technology similar to that used in petrol tank design, perhaps used for the first time in architecture. The structure uses a steel mainframe and timber sub-frames, clad in laminated timber with steel connectors. ![]() As the site doesn’t allow for foundations, the structure must be self supporting to achieve this the delicate columns expand at their ground and roof connections to support side loads. Echoing Laugier’s Primitive Hut, the design composes a simple column arrangement with roof placed on top, whilst considering its location in a high wind and earthquake risk zone. The building aims to achieve, through a simple structure, a new fundamental relationship between roof and slab. The hybrid space is part of a campus designed with the intention to spark innovation and the development of new technologies. Y desde hoy, es nuestro nuevo nombre y nuestro compromiso. Located between two buildings, the textile academy and a teaching block, its programme encompasses education, flexible co-working space, and meeting areas. Ecotone es el lugar donde los ecosistemas se superponen, son los lugares más ricos y biodiversos del mundo. This suggested classification may help to facilitate the study of ecotones, explain the co-existence and the relations between adjacent ecosystems, communities and their structure and detect the maximum interference between individuals.Ecotone occupies a transitional space between education and industry, forming part of the Yıldız Teknopark campus of Yıldız Technical University in Istanbul. This work is an attempt to classify the ecotones according to the factors which affect their characteristics. The interaction of the environmental factors and biological characteristics may lead to form a new hybrid ecosystem. It is difficult to separate the effects of environmental factors from biotic factors upon the ecosystems and their ecotones, but we can detect the main limiting factor. (B) The biological characteristics of the two adjacent ecosystems individuals, at juvenility and maturity stages. The width of this range (ecotone) is controlled in two ways: (A) the environmental factors at the first stages of interference, when the individuals of the two interfered ecosystems are in the seedling stage. ![]() It represents the range of interference between two ecosystems, plant communities, small patches forming a mosaic structure of the vegetation or individuals. Ecotone is not just a transition zone between two adjacent ecosystems. ![]()
