Site Analysis

This semester our project is a school complex that is alive 24/7 and used by all ages 7 to 77 that includes a high school and a pre-school and re-generates the lively neighborhood of Cebeci, Ankara.  The site is between the Ankara University Cebeci Campus and the 50.Yıl Park which is cleared for urban renewal. To understand the physical factors and field conditions of the site such as culture, topography, landscape, traffic & parking, activity nodes, roads & buildings, functional diversity and residential, commercial units; we went to the site and made our analysis in there.

First, we analyzed the public, educational and residential areas around the site. Then we analyzed the site itself and saw that the site has a high slope which provides a landscape view through some important landmarks such as Anıtkabir and Ankara Kalesi. We also analyzed the traffic jam around the close environment of the site. The main transportation road is at the North side of The AÜ Campus and secondary roads that comes from it continue and surround the site between the residential units.

50.Yıl Park side of the site is the South and the landscape at the North which means that sunlight comes from the back and enlighten the landscape. Besides the landscape and slope, 50.Yıl Parkı is at the top of the hill and separates the district from the other side. Therefore orientation and the impact of the site is through the AÜ Campus direction.
