The unexpected population increase in Antalya started with the settlement of 70 thousand immigrants in Antalya after the Russian-Ukrainian war. Then, as a result of a major earthquake disaster in Kahramanmaraş, Antalya, according to official records, it hosted 150 thousand earthquake victims. As a result of the uncontrolled population growth after the disasters, there has been an excessive increase in rental prices in Antalya Province and earthquake victims have been placed in student dormitories. As a result, university students studying in Antalya had difficulty in finding accommodation. The project, which addresses this unexpected population growth, aims to design micro-houses suitable for students within the Akdeniz University campus. These micro-houses are placed on top of the existing parking area using steel construction, prioritizing sustainability from energy production to charging electric vehicles. The microhouse is built using structural wood and hemp concrete, the roofing is finished with titanium zinc, and the exterior cladding is completed with hemp and sugar composite corrugated sheet. Each micro-house contains a sleeping area that can accommodate two students and common living spaces designed as fluid spaces. There is also a patio and terrace that can be opened and closed for users to enjoy. Project; Within the perspective of aiming at a sustainable future, it is emphasized that micro-houses built on top of existing parking lots are proposed rather than occupying green spaces.

Project Presentation

At the beginning of the project presentation, there are analyses and diagrams explaining how this concept was reached. Following that, there are systems used for sustainability in the project and their functionalities, materials used in the construction of micro-homes, and details. Next, there are drawings and visuals illustrating micro-homes and their placements.
