I firstly look at Ortabahçe is a huge space and it is
the center of Taşkışla. Everything and everybody gathered here.
Besides, the garden is starting and finishing point in the entire space. All pass through this at least once a day.
When I observed every corner of the space, I
notice new details. I think some words about transparency and I re-examine this
garden. Ortabahçe
whose opposite sides are symmetric has a shape of rectangle. Four sides belonging
doors are reciprocal and provide transition to inside of building. Ortabahçe is
located in the center of Taşkışla in terms of geometry and there are classes around the facades facing
the garden inside space, so classes inside are
perceived simultaneous of different spatial locations. Windows on the whole
sides are implied literal and phonemal transparency. That windows have glasses
are literal transparency because of material characteristics. On the another
hand, all the eye perceives is phonemal transparency. Vivid colours and repeating basic geometry above the sides provides
tranparance. Thus, garden is brightness thanks to these factors. Walls and
sequence windows system are seems to one fullness of wall and the another one
emptiness of window, that is continuing surrounding the garden. This regular
array reveals a perceptible rhythm easily. It is a part of a continuous
movement ;in addition, this rhythm
continues two straight horizontal lines. While I look at a point the gardens
borders, duty cycle on the borders give a sense of depth seeming like a picture.
While depth is giving us a sense of infinite, the intersection of the wall shows us the end pointh of infinity.
While
I look at the ground to the sky, I see some modulations of layers. The
overlapping layers on the sky in terms of colour such as blue green brown.
Otherwise, I see some trees which were planted at random. Leaves and branches
of these trees not only create a superposed image but also show distinct line
of the layers. Moreover, position of these different layers also give us a
sense of depth. Whole elements of belongs to the Ortabahçe possess different
transparency concepts.
