Design Stage Completed
As part of the "Container Living Space Design" project aimed at proposing a design proposal for container cities to be established for earthquake victims whose houses were damaged in the February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, each group started the design process with the concept they determined with the support of their advisors. The designs were completed during Google Meet meetings held within the groups for a week. In the final stage of the design process, critical comments were given to the designed projects in the jury. After the projects were finalized according to the criteria, they were submitted on April 3, 2023. The submitted projects are planned to be presented at an exhibition to be held in the coming weeks. In addition, students from the teams will have the opportunity to experience the container production process through a technical visit to be organized by a leading container company that invited them. All students involved in the project will be presented with a participation certificate in their name as a thank you for their efforts.
