An Engineer Imagines*
HELLO WORLD
We are a team working in the field of Creative Structural Engineering and we have important issues to share with you. Some topics that will show the importance of Creative Engineering concept.
REYARD HOUSE
ReYard House is designed to be sustainable. Natural and local building materials are chosen for this purpose. It is important to reduce costs, create multi-purpose and flexible areas, since the target group is a middle income family of 5, living in Morocco. Traditional Moroccan architecture has been reinterpreted in a sustainable and innovative way.
“Concrete was not a Crime”
For each structural engineer there is a material that they feel close to in their hearts. For me there are two: Steel and Timber. Until I learned steel design analysis in the senior year of my university education, I was thinking about leaving engineering and becoming a cinema director and I believe this explains how much steel and detail means to me.
ITU Workshop
I would like to talk about our lectures and sharing with undergraduate and graduate students from different semesters in ITU Architecture Department. As a structural design engineer, I started these lectures considering the benefits they might provide to architecture and structural engineering fields as well as to students’ future.
A PARAMETER OF GOOD STRUCTURAL DESIGN: CONSTRUCTABILITY
What is a project that cannot be applied on site? It stays a project, an idea or a design. It cannot become structure. That is why constructible design, is very critical for us.
ARREDAMENTO ARCHITECTURE: “CHIEF AND VIRTUOSO”
Our Director Ahmet Topbaş has joined Arredamento’s 2017 issue with an article that examines the relationship between Engineers and Architects through two of ATTEC Structural Design’s own projects as “Chief and Virtuoso”.
TRANSLATION SUPPORT FOR JORG SCHLAICH IN TURKISH WIKIPEDIA
Our support for translating the missing articles of our profession in Turkish wikipedia continues with Jorg Schlaich with the aim of aiding the cultural dimension.
NATIONAL STEEL STRUCTURE AWARDS JURY PARTICIPATION
Steel structures in Turkey are on the rise. TUCSA, Turkish Construction Steel Association has a great contribution. In the past, our steel construction stock was limited to industrial constructions, stadium roofs and bridges and it is leaped to other types of buildings, especially architectural constructions. We have the courage. A lot of problems are awaiting solution, but architects, engineers, employers look at steel more differently.
SAFECAST
Within the context of a European Union project SAFECAST, we examined the dry field connections of precast structures, in which no cement or mortar is used to make the connection.
TRANSLATION SUPPORT FOR PETER RICE IN TURKISH WIKIPEDIA
We started to translate the missing articles about our profession in the Turkish part of Wikipedia in order to contribute to the cultural dimension of the profession of structural engineering. Peter Rice, who brought a creative perspective to structural engineering, was obviously at the top of our list.
MOUNT MORRIS FIRE WATCHTOWER
This year there are some important developments about New York’s 200-year-old Mount Morris Fire Watchtower in which we take part of its restoration team.
“PRINKIPO” GREEK ORPHANAGE IN BÜYÜKADA
We want to talk about the “Prinkipo” Greek Orphanage in Büyükada and to share its current situation due to our interest in the wooden constructions.
